[Legacy_Rolo Kipp]

               <feeling just a bit...>

I'm really digging the primitive weapons (bone and stone) here! You guys are rockin'!

@ Greco: I totally missed Nexorcists stuff, thanks! =)

My 0.02c  Those axes are great, but the shillelagh seems scaled a touch large to me.

Actually it's a staff, well maybe half-staff half-shillelagh..... 

Shillelagh are now considered most any club or cane with a knotted bole on one end. Historically though, it was an uprooted sapling, with the root bole being treated for hardness, either by firing or bronzing it. The only limit on how big your stick was in that case would be how big a tree you decided to uproot.

What would be delicious is a shillelagh that was from tree planted on a corpse or gravesite, with the skull lodged in the bole...

               Great stuff all! This challenge turned out very well. And all of those axes need to go into Arnheim.

 I'll raise a mug to ye all. Them are fine work, indeed.

I've finished Red Mercy in her "normal" weapon form, save perhaps fer some animated texturing to her aura.






Next I'll craft her placeable form based on the story of the Caduceus.

Gorgeous!

I really like the idea, a fresh take on intelligent dancing swords '>

Druid's staff

Some very nice results!

Random Idea: how about a druid staff who's top is a mini tree canopy?

It could be metal and iconic, say as per celtic druids, or more mystical, and actualy be a mini living treetop sprouting from the top of the druid's staff..
                
Another idea is a staff with leafy vines on it, possibly as an option for a druid staff's midsection. Perhaps roots on the bottom as an option too? Celtic tree roots could be rooted into a icon of the world, fantasy could be holding a gemstone or a crystal.

               I just came across this in my junk and am cross posting it here and on the Head-Thread:

But here's a new monster while I'm at it--it's a demon with a body like a man and the head of a stag. Entwined in its antlers are candles made from (something gruesome) its weapon is a long thin brass staff with an ever burning candle at either end. They generally wear long white robes.

The staff is the relevant item here. It seems a thin brass cylinder would be a waste and completely fail to sell the candles, so instead of a simple primitive, a lathed (spin in blender) profile for a decorative brass candlestick, but stretched thin.  then attach simple candle flickers to the ends (I would skip elaborate vfx a fire emitter is too bursty for a candle, imo).

               Weapons category is a big hit everybody. Excellent work:)

               A very rough idea atm, but how about elemental monk gloves/bracers?



As a test, took normal hand models and linked them to Weapon Emitters.

With a touch of scripting, one could make more visual versions of Burning Hands/Chill Touch...

               Got acid hands done too...



They like to crash toolset when you browse them (had to change gender).

So far still can't make sonic or electric hands that dont explode (cause errors).

Just to be on the safe side, will make a demo and erfs with hands preset...

Edit: Probably holdong off on this one till i can fix errors...

               I had though what I had finished with this content, but i have change my mind. I was playing to the game "Arcanum Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura" from "Troika games", a little old but very good. And there is some  very nice stuff in this game; so I can't resist to add some of that to NWN.

So here is the Poweraxe from Arcanum + 2 new versions:



Arcanum is a 2d game with graphics like Baldur's Gate, Fallout, Diablo, etc; so I have build this based in the 2d icom of the Poweraxe...
