IE Modding Digest: Volume XVIII
Monday, August 4, 2008

Greetings, all! Last fortnight, I overlooked a few not-to-be-missed releases, and hence they will make it into this week’s digest. So, get those taste buds ready warmed up and sensitised, as this fortnight we have special releases imported from the finest continents of the world. They will tempt your appetite into delectable ecstasy, and launch your sensations into an unimaginable euphoria.

Care for a joke?
Many a joke is thrown in the melee of forum chatter, but not many are actualised into an interactive spoilsport. Icendoan has made this unusual move, creating the BioWARE Forum-Only Items modification. If you wish to discover the mystic properties of the Potion of Everlasting, Boots of Stomping, the Gemjump spell, and even a mystery item, give this little modification a shake, rattle, and roll right here.

Giuseppe! Hand me that snake stew.
You certainly have it handed to you, the Italian translation of the Throne of Bhaal-only modification, The Slithering Menace. Updated to version 3.1, this modification by vilkacis will slither slime all over your attire until you melt like a slug in a random dimension. Well, if cryptic clues hasn’t already thrown you completely off track, be sure to check it out here.

It’s all over for the wizards.
Yes, that’s right. Wizards may soon become extinct thanks to the Wizard Slayer Enhancements modification. Konalan has updated it to version 0.7, instructing the arduous mage-hater in the better use of high-level abilities and sweeping out those bugs that had made a nice home in the kit bag. But beware, you must have Throne of Bhaal for the modification to work correctly. Apart from those caveats, the fate of the wizards is up to you if you dare to taste the power right here.

Power up your kitsch a la français.
Indeed, the French language will make your items improve. That, and all the money you give to that enigmatic wizard named Thalantyr. With the addition of the French language to the Thalantyr Item Upgrade modification, which works for Baldur’s Gate Trilogy-WeiDU only, more adventurers will be able to wield a magic sword. For my own sake, I hope that you can wield a magic sword better than those pesky adventurer-cum-bandits. My head does not please anybody dislocated from my neck. Invest in powerful items here.

Freer free action
If you are one of the PnP faithful, you might find this useful - a free action that does not annul movement bonuses and nullifies all movement penalties. Miloch’s PnP Free Action realises your dreams of haste. Now I just have to get you all to sign up for the marathon. Get to the track and train up right here.

Well, that just about does it for the previous month. Stay tuned for more exciting packages of fun. After all, small things amuse all minds.
