Roadmap & Player Ideas — Homer's LOTR
Season 1 development is closed. This page is now an archive of everything that shipped during season 1 — no further work is planned here apart from a major hotfix, should one be reported. The whole remaining backlog (every unshipped player idea and bug report) has moved to the Season 2 roadmap, where it keeps its original submitter credit. Almost everything below started as a player suggestion or bug report — when an idea shipped, the player who submitted it earned Merit points to spend on the rewards documented here. New ideas and bug reports belong on season 2: tell a DM in game or on Discord.
Idea counts by type and stage:

Player-suggested fixes and features already live on the server, newest first — with merit credited to whoever suggested them.
- Season 2 Test Realm is LiveSeason 2 test realm is live -- no real changes yet, except:
- Higher ground legendary leveler is disabled while replacement of true levels is in development.
- Cheat NPC to change levels and gold to aid with testing
Currently:- Season 1 WIKI: https://homerslotr.com
- Season 2 Wiki: https://season2.homerslotr.com
Once Season2 goes officially live (eta evening of August 5th), the urls will flipflop:- Season 2 WIKI: https://homerslotr.com
- Season 1 Wiki: https://season1.homerslotr.com (url not live yet)
- Beastiary breakdown for just the bossesThe Bestiary of Middle-earth now has a third browse option, "Great foes I have yet to fell.", listing only the tracked bosses your character has still to slay - each with its Challenge Rating and the area it lairs in, hardest first. The book's index page opens with your progress: "Great foes felled: x of y." Fell every one of them and the great forges grant one extra property slot (and +20% to their value cap).
- Petrification timeout not working as expectedThe 2-minute petrification timeout now actually fires. If any enemy turns you to stone, escalating warnings appear both in your chat log and as floating text above your character every 15 seconds, and after 2 minutes you die and get the normal respawn option instead of being stuck as a statue. Being cured (Stone to Flesh) mid-countdown cancels it, as expected.
- Fix the 3 chests in Númenor: NoirinanThe three Setti coffers in Númenor: Noirinan work again. They were locked at an impossible DC with keys that did not exist, and even if forced open they produced nothing. Now a character with high Open Lock can pick each coffer (DC 117), and the three keys — Setti Belt / Ring / Shield Key — can be pickpocketed from (or looted off) Summanus in the same area. Each coffer yields a random end-game belt, ring, or shield suited to the level-40 characters who reach Noirinan. A coffer refills at most once per hour; while spent it sits unlocked and empty, so you never waste a lockpick or a key opening an empty box.
- Meaningwave quest givers to ignore and be ignored in combatThe wandering MeaningWave quiz-givers (Peterson, Campbell, Jung, Aurelius, Akira, Jocko, McKenna, Watts) are now fully peaceful. They never fight, and no creature — not even hostile monsters roaming their areas — will target or attack them, so you can take their quizzes undisturbed even in the middle of a fight.
- Increase an item's property slots using boss-drop 'tokens' or a rare boss dropThe Rune of Expansion is a consumable reagent that permanently widens a single item so a Forge of Wonders smith can bind one enchantment more into it than the common law of the forge allows — up to three runes per item. Lay the piece on a smith's anvil, keep a rune in your pack, and choose “Expand a property slot”; the smith folds the rune in and it is spent. The extra enchantment is fully legal, so an expanded item is never seized as contraband. Runes are a rare drop from certain powerful bosses. Details: Customizations → Forge of Wonders.

- On each creature page, show the top players/characters by killsEvery creature page on the wiki now carries a Top Killers leaderboard: the ten characters with the most kills on that creature, with solo, party and total counts and the date of the last kill. Boss variants are merged so your kills are not split across leveled copies, and renamed characters show their current name. Only character names appear — never account or key information.
- Prestige Class Quests12 / 12 completeAn initiation quest for every prestige class, plus the trainer hub near the Well of Eru that starts them
- Prestige-class quest trainer hub near the Well of Eru
- Prestige quest: Harper Scout (L6+)
- Prestige quest: Knight of Westernesse (L6+)
- Prestige quest: Pale Master (L11+)

- Prestige quest: Weapon Master (L13+)
- Prestige quest: Divine Champion (L14+)
- Prestige quest: Dwarven Defender (L14+, Dwarf only)
- Prestige quest: Shifter (L16+)
- Let players rename their weapons (e.g. a chisel item)You can name your own weapons. The Engraver's Chisel is sold at the Well Mart in the Well of Eru for 25,000 gp: equip a weapon, activate the chisel, and speak the new name — nobody else sees you say it. Names stick through the vault, and renaming does not affect a weapon's forge legality. Say 'cancel' to back out without spending the chisel. Details: Customizations → Weapon Renaming.
- Tie forge limits to boss-kill progress (kill more bosses to earn a slight gear edge)Forge limits now scale with how many Roll-of-the-Fallen bosses your character has slain. Ten distinct bosses raises your forge value cap by 5%, 25 by 10%, 50 by 15%, and clearing all 78 gives 20% plus a seventh property slot at the Moria and Kallrist forges. Crucially, gear forged under a boss-slayer's raised cap can be traded freely — the contraband law now judges everyone against the maximum achievable ceiling, so a fresh character holding a veteran's gift will never be jailed for it. The anvil shows your current tier when you use it. Details: Customizations → Forge of Wonders.
- Encounter density: bump per-instance spawn counts 1 to 2 for creatures used by more than one encounter (cap 2, never solo boss encounters)The world is a little more crowded. Rank-and-file creatures that appear across several encounters now spawn in pairs rather than singly, in nine areas — Alterwald, Bill Ferny's House, Greenway North, the three Kallrist shores, Old Back Road, The Wold and Wold South. One-off set-pieces and every solo boss encounter were deliberately left alone. Design: boss-updates#density.
- Diffulty Increase3 / 3 completeMake the game more challenging (mostly at end game areas)
- Per-boss stat tuning: close dumped saves, swap flat DR for % immunity gear, raise auto-hit AC into the ~85 gate window
- Enrage-on-retreat: registry bosses taunt, gain +2 all stats for that life, and heal 25% of missing HP when a player disengages
- Soul-fatigue stacks on the Heal spell and potions: the heal lands first, then 10% max-HP damage per prior stack, 3-minute decay
- New end game bosses/higher difficulty ceiling (Epic)I would recommend some work on buffing or creating new bosses/content before significantly adding additional boosts to player power and viable classes. Sort of ran out of things to do and not logging the hours and hours per day anymore. Not sure if I am alone and everyone else is really excited about the upcoming improvements and will be excited to play to upgrade gear or make new characters.Update 2026-07-13: Resolved by creating multiple other ideas to implement: the design brief is written — Endgame Difficulty — Tactical, Not Spongy — and broken out into concrete backlog items: the per-boss stat tuning pass (in progress), enrage-on-retreat + soul-fatigue on Heal (up next, ship together), encounter density and the Forbidden Realms Key tier (soon), the wandering adaptive boss, elemental swarm waves and two new tier areas (later), plus the clone/parent boss and opt-in curse (planned).
- Legendary Level Skill Points ExploitEpic leveling: you get N skill points. When spending, it raises the skill. Then when you are down to 1 point, you pick something but choose to start over.You start anew with all the skill points to spend. But you keep the N-1 skill points spent.DM: Fixed. The leveler applied each pick the instant you confirmed it, but only spent the level itself on the very last confirmation — so backing out (or walking away, or disconnecting) kept the picks and left you eligible to level again. The same hole handed out unlimited feats and ability points, not just skill points.The level-up is now a single transaction: nothing touches your character until you confirm on the final page, and then it all applies at once. "No. I want to start over." now genuinely starts you over, with your full pool back.
- Epic Summons don't unsummon when dismissedEpic summons no longer stay behind when you dismiss them. Since epic summons became henchmen, kicking one from your party left it standing where it was instead of unsummoning it. Now it puffs away properly, with the usual unsummon effect — whether it is dismissed, expires or is replaced.
- Standard Map Notes for all area transitionsAudit, fix, and standardize map notes on area transitions (doors and triggers) so it has the name of the destination's area in the map note (add waypoints for doors or transitions that don't have one, update/audit ones that already do (fix or add map note names).Exclude conversation based teleports for destination level map notes, but add the conversation's creature as a dedicated map note with that creature's name instead as a point of interest.Shipped: new bin/gen-map-notes.py places a destination-labeled map-note pin on every door / trigger / placeable-portal transition (561 notes across 264 areas), plus one point-of-interest pin at each conversation-teleporter NPC named after the NPC. The tool is idempotent and re-runnable; it defers to hand-placed notes and skips ambiguous multi-destination tags (the Gwathdor maze, Dol Guldur).
- Party Loot Roll and PickpocketFixed: pickpocketing an item from a living NPC no longer triggers a party Need/Greed/Pass loot roll — the roll's source filter now also skips living-creature sources (pickpocket is an individual skill contest). Dead-creature corpse/boss loot still rolls. The 'boss used HP 4 more times than expected' half was a misread, not a duplication bug: the Gwathdor Lord carries multiple cure potions plus casts cure spells as an 80-level caster, and the loot-roll code never writes to the victim's inventory.
- New Forge in Kallrist Cryptmore info in customization page,https://homerslotr.com/manual/Customizations#forge
- Getting stuck in the wall at GwathdorImpacted area is called 'Gwathdor: West Deeps" tag: GwathdorWestDeeps, issue is with the placeable walls, tagged 'pl_PlcWallDark'A workaround (that exists for mages only) is to summon familiar, control it and use it to sidestep you out of the wall
Originally there was a short linear maze (no splits or dead ends) with 8 encounters that have respawntime 600:- gwathdorshortswo
- gwathdortridents
- gwathdorwatch001
- gwathdorshort001
- gwathdortride002
- gwathdorwatch001
- gwathdorshort001
- gwathdortride002
Fix: replace the tight-spaced maze with a new dedicated Gwathdor Labyrinth area of similar length and encounters that do not use wall placeables. Maze paths still has 8 encounters, but now includes dead ends and randomizes happy path every module reboot. - When an NPC disarms you the weapon can despawn — send disarms to your inventory instead of the groundIf your inventory is full, then it would go to ground like it does today instead.Keep standard nwn behavior when a playable character disarms you in pvp (including special rules when disarmed by an unarmed strike where by item goes to the enemy players inventory instead of the ground)Keep standard weapon size combat bonuses/penalties related to disarm
- Dungeon Area Transition in Kallrist North Shore intentionally removed?Confirmed: the 'Plane of the Render' dungeon (entered via the evil altar in the Kallrist Outer Banks, one land-bridge hop from North Shore) was severed at both ends and its guardian stripped. Fix: re-added the missing arrival waypoint WP_renderinside so the altar teleport works again; repointed the render-plane escape trigger and exit door to the existing WP_renderexit in the Outer Banks so the dungeon is escapable; and recreated the guardian raitheen (Raitheen the Watcher, CR 60) placed at the shackled altar. In-game verify: from the Kallrist Outer Banks, use the evil altar → you are teleported into the Plane of the Render → fight through to and kill Raitheen at the far shackled altar → use the escape transition (or the entrance door) → you return to the Outer Banks.
- Kallrist Crypt riddle puzzle grants no key -- inner crypt sealedThe Kallrist Crypt riddle was unsolvable in practice: matching the four elemental pillars correctly produced no key, so the door to the inner crypt could never be opened and the lower crypt and forge beyond it were unreachable. The key now exists and the puzzle pays out.
- Issues with improved invisibility after buff duration exentsion (and exclusion)Improved Invisibility was quietly broken by the doubled-buff-duration feature: the icon stayed up for the full doubled time while the actual invisibility and 50% concealment had already been stripped, so you looked invisible, were not, and were still attacked. The whole invisibility and illusion family is now excluded from duration-doubling and behaves correctly. Details: Customizations → Spell Duration.
- Door not working at bottom of goblin caves (SE Corner)
- Transition is missing from Pelennor Fields into Minas Tirith: Gates
- At least one of the Norther Forest of Ithilien transitions seems offif i go north of the vale area to the zone where one of the legends is, going back south seems to send you not back to the proper transition but to some other random one (note there are multiple zones with the same title so probably just a mislinked transition unless lore-wise this forest is supposed to turn you around)
- MW Companions/Henchmen can get stuck trying to use Bard Song over and overMeaningwave companions could get stuck spamming Bard Song or Curse Song — flooding the log with 'no more bardsong uses left', burning their daily uses in seconds, and ignoring your tactics menu because the constant retries monopolised their action queue. They now sing once, keep the song up, and answer your orders. Details: Customizations → Meaningwave.
- Card Menard in Edoras drops Elrond's swordCard Menard in Edoras was dropping a modified copy of Elrond's sword that could get the looter jailed. That copy is now its own distinct item, renamed with its own appearance and description, so it no longer collides with the real Longsword of Elrond. Fixed as part of the wider duplicate-tag cleanup.
- Initial 3 free levels worth of xp from new characters can be xp-bankedNow require level 4 to use deposit xp, and the 3k free xp you get on character creation is subtracted before the 15% banking penalty so you only can bank what was earned directly.
- Respawn Tracker in Well of EruOriginal ask: "would a board in well of eru with bosses that are dead and showing how long till respawn be worth it or are respawn times short enough? Standardizing the boss respawn rate and maybe adding drop rates to the loot would be a nice complimenting feature to the bestiary"Shipped as the 'Roll of the Fallen' board next to the Recent Updates sign in the Well of Eru. It lists only bosses that are currently slain, mightiest (highest CR) first, with time-to-return at the end of each name; click a boss to see its lair and the player or party who last slew it (from the bestiary's damage-contributor tracking). Only bosses that can ever have one live copy at a time are tracked (20 bosses: Balrog, Shelob, Kerufall, Xanith, Legolas, both Khamuls, Theoden's Chosen, Gandalf, High Wizard, Sauron, Gwathdor Lord, Boromir, Denethor, Witch King, Radagast, Heir of Haldor, Smaug, Gollum, Thranduil).Boss respawns standardized to 15 minutes across the board: encounter bosses' ResetTime lowered from 20-150 min (Shelob 50m, Kerufall 58m, Khamul/Legolas 20m, weathertop-class 100m, Bilbo 150m) to match the Balrog's 15m and the placed-creature respawn; Thranduil, the Carn Dum Khamul and the Heir of Haldor previously never respawned until reboot and now respawn in 15m too. Drop-rate info on the bestiary (the note's last idea) was left out of scope.Update: the boss list is no longer hand-curated. It is now generated from a rule (bin/gen-boss-registry.py): every creature with challenge rating above 60 that can only ever have one live instance at a time, excluding plot/immortal and merchant/utility NPCs. This grew the tracked set from 20 to 78 bosses — adding the likes of Aragorn, Gimli, Glorfindel, Sarah the Librarian, Gothmog Lord of Barad-Dur, the Rancid Skinner, Summanus, the Basilisk King and dozens more. The in-game board and the wiki Creatures → Bosses page are generated from the same registry, so they always match. Encounter bosses keep their real respawn timers (accurate countdowns). The three placed bosses whose death scripts didn't respawn them (the Rancid Skinner, Wart Gondorian Gate Captain and Fell Beast) were fixed to the standard 15-minute respawn.
- Resolve all duplicate-tagged items (module-index/item_tag_conflicts.json) — give each variant a unique Tag/resrefHundreds of items across the module shared a tag with a different item, which broke tag-based lookups and confused the Forge's legality whitelist — the cause behind the Longsword of Elrond false-jailing. 361 of 369 conflicts are now resolved, with each variant given its own identity. Items you already carry were protected across the rename: nothing you own gets jailed because of it.
- Item appearance crafting can send you to prisonChanging an item's appearance could get you thrown in prison on your next login. Recolouring or reshaping an item quietly stripped the mark that proves it was forged legally, so the contraband scan then judged a perfectly lawful item as illegal. Dyeing and reshaping now carry that mark across the edit, so legitimate gear stays legal.
- Glorfindel's potion quest: the plant doesn't spawn and there are no journal entriesAdded a full journal (accepted -> per-ingredient progress -> complete) and made the Athelas plant refill on a ~25 min timer so it no longer stays empty after the first player loots + it (all three Athelas plants in the Foothills and Bree now respawn).
- Requesting proper dying kit (which works on cloaks) or dyes that work on metallic 1,2 and leather 1,2 (colors)The Dye Kit now opens the full appearance station: it dyes armor, helmet, cloak, shield and weapon across all six colour channels (cloth, leather and metal 1 & 2) in any of 64 colours, and reshapes model parts too. Free, and it always works. This also fixed the bug where appearance-crafting could land you in prison. Details: Customizations → Dye Studio.
- Scale druid summons/companions (HP, saves, AB, AC) with level, Animal Empathy and epic ConjurationDruid and ranger summons and animal companions now scale with their master's power the moment they spawn, so late-game pets stay relevant on this high-magic server. The boost grows with your class level, your Animal Empathy, and the Conjuration spell-focus feat line — up to +20 attack, +12 dodge AC, +20 all saves and +24 to every ability score. It is permanent and cannot be dispelled. Other classes' summons are unaffected. Details: Customizations → Scaled Summons & Animal Companions.
- Allow epic summons + normal summons out at same timeEpic spell mummy and the summon creature X for example. Fixed: epic summons (Mummy Reaper, Dragon Knight) now spawn on the henchman slot instead of the single engine summon slot, so one epic can be out alongside one normal summon-animal. Mummy vs Dragon Knight stay mutually exclusive; normal summons still one-at-a-time. Both epic summons now last 30h (fixed the Dragon Knight ~3 min duration bug).
- Once the Moria door is closed you must use the Balin's Tomb side entrance until reset; 'Mellon' password and gate state inconsistent
- HGLL should not be influenced by gearHGLL is currently giving bonus skill points on level up based on boosted/modified INT not base int.
- x2 GOLD boost not workingAbout the gold and xp boost. Xp is working but gold was same. 120k with maxed out appraise at the well store.Implemented 2026-07-03: The boost never touched merchant sales — only the Appraise-scaled buy-from-player cap did. The 2x premium boost now stacks multiplicatively with Appraise on the store's per-item buy cap (up to 4x base with both maxed), so 120k becomes 240k with the boost active. Opening any merchant now also sends a cyan confirmation line showing the base GP limit, your Appraise value + % bonus, whether the 2x boost is active, and the resulting total GP limit.
- proper leveling for 40-60 (normal class progression)Request: keep the xp ceiling but put proper leveling for 40-60 (normal class progression)Note: Original HGLL levels added a 1.25 compounding rate on top of the original exponential rate,
Resolution: With this change I have reduced it to 1.1 compounding rate. - including other items into druid/shifter shapesIn stock standard NWN:
- For Shifter Forms: the shape determines which items are merged
- For Wildshape: Only magical properties of armor, helmet and shield merged
This request is to include more (or all equipped) item's for every shifter form and wildshape.. and/or improve stats on the shapes to be more competitive with bosses on this module..Currently Defensive stats are competitive but damage output is not.Implemented 2026-07-02: Every polymorph form now merges all equipped item properties. Your weapon's properties (or your gloves' when unarmed) land on the form's claw/bite/slam attacks as well as its right-hand weapon — this is the damage fix, since vanilla never merged anything onto natural attacks. Armor, helmet, shield, both rings, amulet, cloak, boots, belt and gloves merge onto the form's hide. Covers druid Wild Shape and Elemental Shape, all Shifter shapes (Greater Wildshape I–IV, Humanoid, Undead, Dragon, Outsider, Construct), plus the arcane self-polymorphs Polymorph Self, Shapechange and Tenser's Transformation, which previously merged nothing. Balance: duplicate property types merged onto one item take the highest value only (no stacking six AC rings), and damage is bounded by the same forge-capped weapons every melee class uses. Form base stats are unchanged. - [Anvil] Adhoc toggle reboot on empty with warning to playersAs a Server Admin,I want to be able to push module updates that require a reboot without interrupting players or logging in to ask them to log out.
- Use Anvil plugin to trigger an in-game alert that server will reboot when next empty (also update on-login message to newly joining players of the same until reboot happens).
- Support custom message to players explaining what updates to expect/look forward to when server next reboots.
Implemented 2026-07-02: The Anvil ServerRestartManager now honours a reboot-on-empty control file. Arm it from the shell with bin/reboot-on-empty "your message" (add --nwsync to also rebuild the client download manifest) after deploying an update — no in-game login needed. While armed, online players get a broadcast + shout warning and newly joining players see an on-login notice carrying the custom message. Once the server sits empty for ~45s it saves all characters, shuts down cleanly, and a host systemd .path unit restarts just the server service onto the freshly deployed module (rebuilding NWSync first when requested). The arm flag is deleted before shutdown so it can never boot-loop, and bin/reboot-on-empty off cancels a pending reboot. Docs in rebootSchedule.md. - Add a timeout to Petrification (from NPCs)After 2 minutes of Petrification, player dies and can respawn. Players get an increasingly severe warning from server every 15 seconds as they approach death.
- the High wizard in Gondor kills herself with her pulse attackssome of the pulse effect code came from elemental creatures where they would consume 50% of their own life to do it.. added racial check for is elemental for that part so non-elementals won't self-damage
- divine might duration bugDivine Might had the wrong half of the doubled-duration feature applied to it: the buff itself reverted to its normal length, but the game still blocked you from re-casting it for the full doubled time. Divine Might and Divine Shield are now excluded from duration-doubling, so both the buff and the cooldown match again. Details: Customizations → Spell Duration.
- Don't withdraw XP from the bank while on an XP penalty; banker should warn about multiclass penalties firstresolved by Remove mutli class XP penalty
- Remove mutli class XP penaltyremoving the mutli class up penalty, seeing as we get 4 classes pretty sure everyone will get that penaltyThis resolves Don't withdraw XP from the bank while on an XP penalty; banker should warn about multiclass penalties firstUsing mod found on www.neverwintervault.org: Multiclass EXP Penalty Remover SoZ
- The Rancid Skinner shouts 'Helms Deep is under attack' on deathupdated shout for skinner to ask evil servants of sauron to rally to Dol Guldur
- MW Henchmen: Counterspell mode not working -- needs revisions
- Need cooldown on counter spell
- need dice roll D20 + spellcraft check , rolling 1 = auto fail
- Need to lower MW henchmen spellcraft check to total around 50, maybe vary per henchmen
- need to consume spell slots on counterspell attempt, and switch to melee mode when out of spell slots
- Is Morannon meant to have arcane spell failure?
- Whenever I rest there I get 100% spell failure.
- Also NPCs can cast spells while silenced even without Silent Spell casting. 👀
Resolution: This is intended for theme of area; but added a WILL save check (dc 45) every minute you are in that area to try and resist it. - Jailed for Elrond's Sword (unmodified)Carrying the Longsword of Elrond — unmodified, straight from the world — could land you in jail, with the Forge Warden greeting you with a broken <UNRECOGNIZED TOKEN> accusation. The sword's legal fingerprint had gone stale after a balance change and has been regenerated, and the Warden now releases you rather than showing a garbled accusation when it cannot actually confirm an illegal item.
- Make scrolls stackable (x99)
- Sauron's Chosen Minion fights his own faction (faction looks wrong)
- Newbie starting gear once per accountthe server can give a starter gift like this upon character creation, unsellable, unforgable ofc, simply have to drop it on the floor for trash pixie to pick it up when it's not needed anymore, they get haste, some ac, and little damage resist, so they don't die instantly when they start their journey. Example "Amulet Gift"
- +3 AC
- 5 / - Resist all 3 physical
- Haste
- Immunity: Fear
- Light Bright (20m) Red
- Regen 1
- Knock Spell Effect not workingKnock scrolls and items are not working currently. I don't have a wizard leveled atm, so can't test a direct spell cast.
- E.g. The chests in Numerok's Den and the door to get into the chest room.
- E.g at the Endless Stair door to Moria.
Resolution: Updated knock so it can work even on plot doors/containers but only when they don't require a key, and to give a message if they do require a key. - Rest-menu teleport back to where you last used the Well-of-Eru portThis idea was implemented as part of the Merit reward system
- Tune Meaningwave Henchmen appearances (some spawn naked instead of wearing their armor)
- Merit Reward redemption go-liveSpend your Merit points in Bree: Prancing Pony.
- Delivered: Teleport system unlocks, Tournament Gear, Player Housing, Duct Tape Wallet, Tag well of eru, DM Password
- Up next: Premium XP/Gold boost unlocks
- Tainted Steel of Morgrond & Skinner's Acidic Plate are flagged Plot and can't be used in the craft-skill menuAlready previously fixed Plot item crafting at smith via: Closed the 0-value forge exploit; forge now prices by true item valueThis idea is logged to fix how WIKI treats PLOT items (which it considers both unlootable, yet still player accessible)
- Tainted Steel of Morgrond, "Drops on death: No — plot item"
- Skinner's Acidic Plate, "Drops on death: No — plot item"
- Forge/Smith updates for weapons (Better handling for items worth more than default forge GP value limit)When using a forge smith, he seems to cache and be speaking about the last weapon you used, instead of current. The Forge Wardens used to have a similar issue.Related bugs:
- smith not confirming upper GP craft limit on new items, uses "no" instead of that gp limit
- when I'm stripping batch of enchants and confirm with 'strike the enchantments'
- the one(s) i chose were removed but smith keeps asking me to remove more, I have to hit escape and restart conversation
- when I did that he greeted me with "<UNRECOGNIZED TOKEN> Which enchantments shall.."
- the strip items in batch only shows first 8 or 9 options, some items can have a lot more, need to paginated
- Party Loot Roll system (configurable through rest menu)Party rolls can be opted in or out through the rest menu. More info at: https://homerslotr.com/manual/Customizations#party-loot
Original request (Chat command to roll d100 for boss loot, or one command to roll for the whole party) - Fornost teleport Broken (Removed dead area from list of teleports)
- Add Shuriken, Katana and Quarterstaff to monk weapon list and count as finessablebaseitems.2da: Shuriken, Katana and Quarterstaff are now monk weapons (IsMonkWeapon=1, like Kama), so they get monk attack-bonus progression. Katana and Quarterstaff are now finessable (WeaponFinesseMinimumCreatureSize=2) for any class with the Weapon Finesse feat — not just monks, and small races included.Note on flurry: NWN has a single IsMonkWeapon flag that governs both monk-weapon benefits and Flurry of Blows — there is no per-weapon flurry toggle. Kama itself is flurry-compatible, so these weapons are too (the original “not compatible with flurry” ask was dropped after confirming Kama allows flurry).Live deployment requires repacking lotr_rules.hak with the new baseitems.2da, then refresh-nwsync + server restart.
- Bard song damge modifier (not working again)The damage on bard song isn't correct: 38 bard, 121 perform, giving +D4 damage? (expecting +6 instead at this skill and bard level, per Bard Song customized to mirror the customized Curse Song) -- Bruno Mars is the characterRoot cause was that EffectDamageIncrease takes a DAMAGE_BONUS_* constant, not a flat integer — the raw value 6 was being read as DAMAGE_BONUS_1d4, so the top tier rolled 1d4 instead of applying a flat +6. The damage amount is now routed through IPGetDamageBonusConstantFromNumber() so each tier maps to the correct constant (6 → flat +6). The identical bug was fixed in the matching Curse Song (x2_s2_cursesong) damage tiers (raw 6/8/10 were rolling 1d4/1d8/2d6, now flat −6/−8/−10). Tiers 1–5 were always correct and are unchanged; only the damage column was affected.
- Wiki Missing creature: Numanan Numerocks Second Hand (CARN DUM)Two problems behind one report. On the wiki, differently-named creatures sharing a blueprint were collapsing into a single page, so Numanan Numerock's Second Hand had no page of its own; renamed placements now each get their own page (this recovered around 17 creatures, including Old Tagget and Sarah the Librarian). More seriously, in-game any creature placed with custom overrides — name, faction, abilities, gear, conversation — lost all of them the first time it died and respawned, which is why the same spawn point kept showing the wrong creature. Respawns now reproduce exactly what was placed.
- Legendary Leveler: can't find Tumble
- Found and fixed HGLL bug that caused armor check penalty for currently equipped armor to be factored into skill ranks during legendary level ups
- Added note in level up conversation that calls out what the system sees as the player's dominant class (highest level class), which is what determines the skills that are available for selection during level up (it is expected that having a minor class with tumble, does not let you take tumble during legendary levels)
- Discipline missing from the forge craft list (Rivendell forge)Found missing skills and added to forge crafting enchant options:
- Discipline
- Lore
- Move Silently
- Spellcraft
- Spot
- Use Magic Device
- Items lost when logging out without talking to banker
- Weapons with both Attack Bonus (AB) and Enhancement Bonus (EB) appear to mis-calculate statsWeapons carrying both an Attack Bonus and an Enhancement Bonus were misleading you: the NWN engine applies only the higher of the two to your attack roll, so any Attack Bonus at or below the Enhancement Bonus was dead weight on the character sheet. This is hardcoded engine behaviour with no toggle, so every weapon in the module was audited instead — 253 weapons had the two properties collapsed into a single Enhancement Bonus, raised to a balanced value where the old Attack Bonus was higher. Copies already in your inventory were repaired automatically.If you keep old copies in the Bank of Bree, take them out and leave them in a character's inventory overnight — the nightly 3am reboot scans character files, not storage boxes, so banked items will not be fixed until they are carried.
