               Vibrant... actually the two blades are not necessarily the best solution. One blade and one club would enable both slashing and bludgeoning damage which is a rare combination.

But is it a shield AC? 
I want something that stacks, not another deflection or dodge bonus...
I don't know. I've never made weapons before.

You'll need to edit your baseitems.2da file.  There is a column for AC for every item type.  I changed all of the weapons to the value for shield AC for my PW, just because it makes sense to me...if you then give that item an AC bonus in the toolset, it's like that weapon can be used to block, rather than deflect, incoming attacks.  Plus, how is a sword supposed to stop something like a magical ray from a disintegrate spell?

               TAD, you are talking about the AC_Enchant column yes?

               Henesua,
Yep, that's the column.  

Another trick you can use with some of your other item types (Boots, belts, amulets, rings, etc.) is to create a few duplicate entries that provide different AC bonuses.  e.g. rings are deflection AC by default, but you could create a 2nd ring type with a natural AC bonus, Shield bracers for the party duelist, etc.

@ Henesua: I *like* that combo idea. Sort of a fencing/escrima combination. Very difficult skill-mesh, but could be quite spectacular :-)

@ TAD & Greco: Cool. Didn't know that. Gonna play with it... soon as I get some time :-/

@ TAD: She was talking about her fans acting as shields, I think. Not the ninjato. At least, that's what makes sense to me.

               And here are the "fabric" umbrellas.  These are more like Lisa's original dragon umbrella.  A piece of fabric versus the previous set that showed the support spines.

I've got a template made for the icon that I could include in the package if people wanted to make more umbrellas in other themes later on?

               Hi,  would someone consider to add the Rokugan Nagas? There is and old HAK in the NWN Vault, what add an Ophidian race, base on humans but with an snake tail instead of legs. This race would works perfectly  for L5R Nagas if the author had made it for both  sexes; Unfortunately in this HAK there is only models and animations for males. maybe someone skillful  could made the females...

               The CODI Mariliths look a little similar.

Yes something like this. But I was talking about this MOD "HUB Races - Ophidian 0.1 BETA" by Fantu - http://nwvault.ign.c....Detail&id=4690 - . The main difference between this and LOW mariliths is that this is a dynamic race. Some time ago I had converted this dynamic race in an human phonotype, because the upper parts are the same than the humans and I could save space in this way, also like a phonotype i could use any new heads or clothing/armor pieces that would be made for humans....

I'm not sure... strawberry jam? ;-)

I think someone said something, as they were not covered a couple months ago... *sigh*

@ Tyndrel: Hmmm, I like the proportions of LoW's better, but I hadn't seen CODI's... thanks, T!

@ Shemsu: I'm all for dynamic models :-) Especially feminine ones ;-).
You are already making a lot for this month, but if you feel like making the female version (which would be new content, and therefore admissable), by all means do =)

<...and failing, of course>

I would done that some time ago if I could; I'm sorry, I know something about modeling in 3D Max, but nothing about animation and not too much about NWN creatures or any other animated things...

More ideas...


Instruments

Jenna  I like your idea about musical instruments; Do you know the name of that instruments? just to search for more visual references. Maybe I could made some.

Shall I suggest that someone add a tileset of an oriental, Chinese or Japanese style city. In NWN Vault there is only rural tilesets available....
