Please Help Druid !

BlackJesus666 · Post by **BlackJesus666** » Wed Aug 07, 2002 4:07 am

hey Guys, I recently started as a Druid.

I´m in BlackLake District right now. I used this Call Lightning spell and didn´t know it affects citizens as well. There had to be standing ONE close to me, but now the hole neighbourhood is angry at me, cause Tomi doesn´t stop shooting arrows...

I started as True Neutral. I even got a title for my Evilness right now. Will I be able to take any further Druid levels? The other Neutral is still untouched...

Man, why didn´t I realize this angry citizen, before I saved.

And second question, please, how do I use this "transport via plants" scroll ??? On which tree ??

A 1000 Thanx...

Spoiler - highlight to read:
In the Zoo, there will be a door leading to a "Garden"/"Backally" (or what it is called), in there will be a single tree. That is the tree you must use. '

As for the other problem - whops

- carefull with such spells.

Thanx, but all the doors are closed for me. Besides all the cages, there is one door at the end of the floor, but it says, I need a key to open that door. Everybody attacked me here, besides two Halfling children. There is nothing lying on the floor.

EDIT:
LOL - sorry - accidently pressed edit insted of quote. How n00b of me

You should have gotten a key from the Druid in town where you got the quest.
That key should open the door besides the cages iirc.

Arrgh. Thanx. I remember I threw away all keys recently... will find it in the pool.

Could you please do me a last favor ?

Is there already any Programm like Shadowkeeper ??

I think I have to manipulate my alignment. I just went to the Docks and everybody was attacking me, even those giving you quests...

And all that just because of one stupid citizen standing way tooo close *grrr*

If you lose your neutrality you will not be able to advance as a druid. I guess you are playing the true D&D rules? non hostile creatures will be affected by your spells if in the vicinity - more realistic isn't it?

If performing the 'good' deeds that give you points increasing your balance back towards neutrality does not work - I would suggest a reload....

spoiler:

The quest for the man in no-mans land will give you three points towards good, as will speaking to Bethany outside the Hall of Justice after completing the prison quest...so will declining any reward, I think

Arrgh. Nope I didn´t change the rules, since I played a Wizard and his Area Affect Spells did NOT effect Neutral people. Pehaps because I patched the game?

Everything is really screwed up, everybody is attacking me. Even all the henchmen in Trade of Blades. I found some of their Quest Items, went in there and everybody attacked me. Crazy Sh1t.

My Druid Game is just ruined. I planed to get all the henchmen items and play through Helms Hold again. I´m annoyed. Played evil before, didn´t want to this time.

BTW, you can´t push up your reputation by donating in a temple, can you???

I've heard about this, where NPCs attack you (including Aribeth, who can't be killed). Several people had this problem. Try checking you Autosave.. if you didn't save over them (there should be one for blacklake. If you don't, then I really can't help you). Maybe save several more slots..

You can still advance levels, I assume you are now Neutral Evil, which means you are still fine. If you played on Core Rules, then the area effect spells should effect NPC as well (try shooting a fireball at the guards).

Your reputation and alignment is not what's effecting you, it could be a bug or something, since a chaotic evil barb w/ 4 int and has 0 reputation points still don't get attacked by NPCs. and no, you can't donate gold to up your rep.

Hmm, lots of information, thanx dude

And you´re right in all of this.

I considered loading the AutoSave, but didn´t want to play Meldanen´s Lair all over again...

So I could go on in Levels, as you said.

I declined some gold rewards for quests and am now on Neutral(50) Evil(13). Puuuuh at last lost my title...

A crazy thing is that some of the people are angry at my "party" and other are only angry at Tomi.

He didn´t make many friends, playing and snipering around...

So I won´t get ALL of the henchmens quests done. What´s even worth, of the rewards you get, for a Druid (Has there been a thread? Sorry can´t find one...). I don´t think I need an amulet...

Man, I should have put a spoiler warning in the thread...

This happened to me. I opened a single player game in multiplayer mode in order to be able to import my character (who I had been using previously in MP). The import into the single player game was successful, but first Tomi, then other NPCs turned hostile and attacked

@BlackJesus666, as long as your neutrality rating does not exceed 75 (too good), or drop below 25 (I think it is 25) then you can advance as a druid

It is the level of neutrality that is important - not the level of evil as such...
