    Here are today's Neverwinter Nights forum highlights. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context. Bear in mind also that the posts presented here are copied as-is, and that any bad spelling and grammar does not get corrected on our end.

    Beholders: While the beholder is pretty darn scary he will not be able to bite your arm off. Also Psionics are not being implemented into the game as a whole. The Mind Flayer creatures have certain special attacks that can only be labeled Psionics because of how they make those attacks. In pure game terms they are being treated as spells and not a new form of attack. The Psionic system is not being added.

    Georg Zoeller, Designer

    Beholders: I think the artists tried 10 eyestalks but it did not look good with all of them moving around and such, so we are down to 5. Its looking pretty nice in the game. I guess polycount was another reason, better have 5 more detailed stalks than 10 less detailed ones... plus those are considered a MONSTER_NODE_* .... those who are into scripting know what that means I guess.

    Levels: There is no need for a local variable, the maximum level can be set in the server options. You can use the prestige class prerequisite functionality used in SoU to "unlock" epic levels, but this will require a small hakpak containing some 2da files.
