Phasing boxes

[Gibreficul]

Hey, I'm making a script, well I'm modding a script for a sorcerer friend, and I would totally appreciate someone with a sorcerer posting the results of phasing a box successfully, and unsuccessfully. I was going to say, I won't need the results of phasing a magical box, but then glyphs came to mind, so I'll need that too.

Thanks in advance.

Allereli got the basics above... but there is a distinction between successfully phased LOCKED boxes/items and non locked ones, and that might be worthwhile to note for your script. The non-locked syntax will appear for any single items or weapons that are phased in addition to non locked containers. The difference is when you see the latter, only the weight of the container itself becomes weightless, the weight of the stuff inside still counts as being ‘in this world’.


A locked item gets the following:
You gesture at a mottled brown satchel.
The satchel becomes momentarily insubstantial and appears lighter.

A non-locked item gets the following:
You gesture at a mottled brown satchel.
The satchel becomes somewhat insubstantial and appears lighter.

Do note: I have both strings highlighted differently, as it will indicate if I forgot to properly lock one of my satchels and thus, might have a bunch of unwanted encumbrance.

Sereg’s 45 pound-phasing puppeteer

Good stuff Sereg. 45 lbs? Do you have demonology enhancives or is the site wrong.

he has a pretty princess tiara!

[Abyran'sa]

To phase 45 pounds one only needs 207 ranks of demonology, which I can reach with only 5 extra ranks of enhansives. Sadly, there is no way to reach 46 pounds, because you simply can't get 228 total ranks of demonology :(

[AestheticDeath]

why not? I thought you could get up to 50 bonus on items?

[Swami71]

at 207 demonology wouldn't you be able to phase 46 lbs? 2 lbs per tier.

[Swami71]

Pretty Tiara? So unlike Sereg with his dead disgusting stuff. What about those bangles from EG this year?

[Gibreficul]

alright, for those of you lich users, here's what I have so far... The sorcerer that's using it says it tries to phase mithril boxes... I think I have it fixed in the code below... Anywho...

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but could someone explain to me locking containers and phasing and how that all works? I hear bits and pieces, but have never actually gotten the straight skinny on the 'why to do it' and 'how to do it'.

Syri, exposing her ignorance to all..

[Gibreficul]

The phase spell (704) has multiple purposes. ONe of which is the ability to "phase" locked boxes and containers to make them weightless, which is the use of the spell you are questioning. The amount of weight a sorcerer can phase is related to their demonology lore ranks. So... assume the sorcerer can phase 26 pounds, and they find a 24 pound box that isn't mithril/enruned/glyphed. They can phase it and not suffer any encumbrence penalty from carrying that box, until the phase duration expires. I don't know the specifics, but I believe the phased items still take "space" in the containers they're placed in. (You can't pile 100 phased boxes into a backpack.) Anyway, a lot of sorcerers keep a couple of their containers locked and phased to eliminate, say, the weight of carrying around alchemy supplies and whatnot.

Gibreficul

[Abyran'sa]

As to Syri's locked question...

If a container is locked, when it is phased the entire weight of the container and its contents become weightless (with a few exceptions). If a container is not locked, when it is phased only the weight of the container itself is negated.

Thus, if you had a 5 pound satchel with 30 pounds of gear in it. If locked, a successful phase would remove all 35 pounds of encumbrance. However, if it was not locked, you would only remove the 5 pounds of actual satchel weight from encumbrance, while the 30 pounds of contents would still slow you down.

The exceptions relate to non-phasable stuff. For example, if you put a heavy quartz orb in a locked satchel and phase it... the weight of the orb is still there for encumbrance.

And Gibreficul is correct in his assertion that phased containers still take up space in cloaks and the such. A phased 40 pound box may not weigh anything for encumbrance purposes, but it still takes up 40 pounds of 'space' in the cloak, backpack that is holding it.

Sereg's puppeteer - who is going through more than just a phase.

[Beguiler]

Thank you both, I believe I understand a bit better. Must be time to see about getting a couple of containers fitted with locks!

I love how generous people on the PC can be with information.

[Gibreficul]

If you need stuff locked, Glimmin's site will have a list of lockable nouns, and you can find me on AIM at Lord Gibreficul, and I'll do whatever you need for a relatively modest price, relative to what the asshole overcharging merchant people will charge you. ALSO... I've modified that phasing script to sort gems into a seperate container, and I think I fixed a bug where it didn't recognize mithril/enruned boxes. I'm not sure on the mithril/enruned part, but otherwise, it's working. I also made it release a prepped spell before it's cast if it's not phase, and made it recast phase if armor hindrence prevents the spell.

Thanks to Siphere's player for running the script and letting me know where it screwed up so I could fix it up real nice for all you ungrateful bastards!

Here's what it looks like NOW.
