Custom Content Challenge: December 2013: Dark Sun

[Legacy_PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

               According to the Manual, most of the Dray Templars seem to have metal weapons too, so they've presumably got access to mines or something that nobody else can get near.

(As to the runes, they're not specifically anything, so far as I know... The design in the middle of the pendant/amulet thing is just BioWare's big, red "Floor Design" Placeable (or rather, its texture), only made smaller and black and stuck on a pendant).

Dregoth, both of him, will definitely have to be the last Athas Creature I do - properly, definitely, really this time. Time's kind've run out.

Now giving all Creatures last minute tests in combat, adjusting a few attack distances, making sure they work with shadows on and all that sort of thing...
I forgot all about the Athas Skybox despite it sitting there like a filthy great sky on my Desert Test Area, so it's still just a single texture, no day/night transitions. Sorry about that. Got too carried away with Creatures.
AND I completely forgot Portraits, so I'm hitting some with a big brick really hastily, so don't expect too much of them.

(Will include both the above Crystal Spiders).

               Thanks for all of your wonderful stuff PHOD.



The dejada is a weapon "similar" to a sling but more powerful...

Dang, people.  That's a lot of stuff.  You're really going to make me work to put it all together this month, aren't you?

Had some very drastic and alarming last-minute problems (that puzzle me immensely), but the Skyfish is working ingame.

Now for the portrait and to wrap up the vfx...

               Ey guys!

I recently discovered a good hak in the vault about the ceramic coins of Athas! (among others)

               Nice fish Rolo

Wrist razors consist of a trio of blades that protrude from a heavy arm band. The razors project out over the back of the hand, and are extremely sharp, and also can be up to 6 inches in length. Wrist razors can be worn on both forearms.



I have add this like kamas. Because the weapon it's quite close to "the tigers claws", a weapon described in "gods and demigods" 3E manual. According to this manual a monk who use tigers claws have the same benefits, that they would have without weapons. Well the only weapon with those characteristics in NWN is the kama. Also another HAK of claw weapons, which is in the vault, had added those like kamas....

               To me, the Widow's Knife looks more like an hand axe / throwing axe than a dagger / dart.
You guys are doing a fantastic job, and I am looking forward to seeing a mod that uses this stuff.

In fact i had thought in the hand and throwing axes, and also in the sickle, because it's said that the weapon derived from a harvest tool; Finally I chose the dart and the dagger because of the word "Knife" in the weapon's name.
However you are right, and the weapon looks more like a small axe than any other thing; because of that I have made an alternative versión of the widow's knife as hand and throwing axes...

               I just sent my esperweed and mekillot ram in as submissions. Although the ram is reluctant to block camera movement, it functions as intended for the most part. A sneak peek below:

               So, let me get this straight.  Two days before the stuff is due, and only Mecheon and some professional crastinator named "The Amethyst Dragon" (who's barely started his work on some obsidian spheres) haven't sent in their stuff?

Nice work, y'all. :happy:

               Pfff, I sent you that fixed diamond golem, y'know I'm alive '>

I'm seeing if I can fanangle some surprises up last minute. Even if I fail I'm gonna keep this thing I've created around anyway and work on it for a while because its working surprisingly well on the giant lizard format despite not actually being a giant lizard
