Luna,
Here are two things that would spice up your chest scripting.
First: Seem like recovering a trap doesn't give xp at all, it's harder to recover a trap then disable it xp. It should given the same xp at least.
Second: Why no mimic chests, I miss those vile monsters... or if they are none in NWN2. Maybe make some monsters trigger randomly when you open chests.

I would like to see stronger traps deep in dungeons. The traps are kinda weak and some PCs just ignore them, as they know the damage wont make much difference. Maybe make the CR for the traps on chests random? Like sometimes its a weak trap, but from time to time make it fatal, epic or something. Make it impossible for people to smash the lock without a rogue near by. Not all the traps, but a little surprise is always good.

Meldor I'll look into the recover xp to see what can be done. There are no mimics in the toolkit or on NWN2 Vault. But ye, that would be fun to have. How about if a furry bunny hops out of a chest sometimes to shower you with love?? I would like to see stronger traps deep in dungeons.

Not all the traps, but a little surprise is always good. Yeah.. agreed. I'll try to raise the trap strenght a little. I don't think you will see really hardcore traps like DEALY or EPIC yet though. We held back on the more hardcore chests right now while we sort out some bugs in the chest system. But the traps will eventually go up to DEADLY & EPIC which are always fun since some of those traps do a lot of damage (like Deadly Electric: 30d6 electrical) |

On the DM area, Dev Eldur made a nice table about the CR for traps and how they are all messed up. Check that with him. Some Fatal are harder than Epic or Deadly. Someting like that. If you know already then leave me to my ignorance... ;D
About the bunny.....could it be a blood thirsty bunny?

There is already a full table in the scripts, so I'll see how my estimates are compared to his. But overall the problem is we cripled the chests right now til some bugs are fixed, so the highest you will see trap wise I think is average. Hmm, would Josh fire me if an evil bunny randomly appears once in a very long time when you open a chest. Maybe we find out.... |

Not if its a black bunny with the red eyes vfx!
While we are on chests, I think the gold should be upped a bit. I never seem to get over 13 gold from one.

Evil rabbits! I'm just thinking some poor guy is gonna work through a dungeon, be low on hit points, get all excited about finding a chest, then these things would pop out and kill him. Next thing you know he would be cursing out the Dev staff....   |
