I allowed myself to modify the edit window for the char description.

planeshiftdir/data/gui/chardescwindow.xml

solved as suggested here:

<widget_description>
 
    <widget name="DescriptionEdit" factory="pawsCharDescription"
            visible="yes" savepositions="no" movable="yes" keepaspect="no"

when I use “/group /me takes a spoon and eats it’s heart out” I’ll output it to group, likewise it works for tells.
It would be nice to have the same functionality for ‘/say’ (wich takes the text thereafter to main but when combined with ‘/me’ or ‘/my’ does output the ‘/me’/’/my’ instead of the desired first name here.)

I can’t believe this isn’t in here yet..

In the beginning of the Quests Lyrus sends the char to ‘the local blacksmith’ wich would be ‘Gardr Keck’, not as told by her ‘Gulm Ossoe’,who is a sculptor, (who made a harp in another quest?!?)

3rd paragraph got a typo:

“… and group fights (for those who don’t like to go it alone.)”

should read:
“… and group fights (for those who don’t like to do it alone.)”

                                                  ^
                                                  |

In the last sentence of the first paragraph it reads:

 "...: repair broken coins or replace the ones that leave the city or get lost somehow"

it might better read:

 "...: repair broken coins or replace the ones that leave the octarcy or get lost somehow"

Size is described as 1.5m high, 1mlong and wide.
They do look a lot bigger to me whan I play ps.
More like 2,5m long, 1,5m wide and 1,5m high.

in section Megaras:

Megaras are described as being 10 to 15m long.
I did imagine pterosaurs to be that size as they are supposed to be used for person and load transport.
Shouldn’t the Megaras (as being the big transport beast) be a lot bigger?

in above mentioned book I did find the following typos/inconsistencies:

Biorlitrosan: “Live in burrows or simple huts on all six levels, but…”

           maybe change to:
                "Live in burrows or simple huts on all six non-submerged levels, but..."

Grendol: two things here:

1) they do look rather higher then 3m as Ynnwn are supposed to be 2-2,5m ant them grendols add a head or two to my toon..

2) they are according to the description here to be reported to the Vigisimi or the guard. the arena and the laanx dungeon hod some though.

in the second last paragraph it reads:
“Ojaveda is composed of 211 ultics and a total of about 14000 inhibitants.”

seen the size of the World (only 1257square kilometers in the dome level) I think 14k citzens in a small city are a bit off the scale.
also it is doubtful how they would live in 211 tents.
maybe 1400 citizens would fit better. (still 6.6ppl/tent)

seemingly the weapons of seduction have the famous and useful effect of enhancing strength and endurance in exchange for Charisma, Willpower and Intelligence.
I don’t mind the effect at all as I also like to mine, but the logic stumbs me a little, as I see a weapon of seduction as a item that enhances the weares beauty and wit, to make it easier to erm.. get what said person wants.. you can bully them down as well though.. just a thought..

When trying to train Swordmaking at high skill
(lvl 50 in swordmaking and trained to green at Vaieund (BD))
The message " you’ve gained some practice points in Swordmaking " does not appear.
Also the green bar does not grow. This both was (and still is) the case when training it under lvl 50.

I do not know if this is only true for swordmaking or also for other crafting skills..
I also do not know if this was disabled on purpose (but why the trainer then?)

like the title suggests it is impossible to superheat a heated Longsword delta blade.
The Longsword alpha and beta blades do heat normally however, up to red hot.

I am aware that this bug was reported before!
But as it still is there after two versions I thought I nag on the new tracker once, lest it is forgotten.
The fabrication of Longswords is not hamperd, but it is a nice trap for new crafters

I do believe it to be a good idea to have the /roll command extended by a optional ‘target number.
This would enable to roll a number of, say 10 sided, dice and show only the number of dice hitting or exeeding the target.

For example: ' /roll 15 10 8 ' would roll 15 10sided dice and return the number of dice that showed 8 or above.

            lets say they would fall 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 8 6 4 2 
            the return would be: ' Player Rollercoster rolled 15 10 sided dice againdst 8 for 5 successes '

This would enable to RP-fight in a very nicely balanced (and skill oriented) way.. If there are dice rolling maniacs around where one could duel, or just do a diceless RP-fight…
It also would be a nice add-on to utilize the not yet implemented skills.
In a more balanced way then rolling a dice with <skill> sides or using /roll 1 6 wich has no relation to any difficulty of the job.

see also the commercial Paper and pen games from White wolf (Vampire, Mage, …) and the game Shadowrun, where I abducted the idea.
