Undisarmable mobs

@Puffy For comparison, both cyclops, and ettins can be disarmed(maybe hill giants too), though they're naturally resistant to it due to high strength scores and skill investments. The question is, is it relatively believable that something the size of a human can whack something out of the hand of something as big as a giant? I think so. Holding firmly onto something that gets whacked hard hurts like hell.

It's a shame though that the disarm system for NwN uses your attack roll for the check rather than a strength check or something. Because then it means the more accurate you are the better chance you got to disarm, not strong.

I think it has to be vs attack roll though, because any attribute check is going to fail vs an invested skill check, and if you used damage instead of the attack roll, disarms would be twice as effective.

Bramble.

@Puffy Strife requested that I get the exact name of the creatures when I can. This one is called Bramble. It's a small little fey creature that spawns on the Barrenstone quest.

That helps :)

@Puffy Well yeah, but aren't all the creatures in a directory anyways? I GUESS I'll add in what/where the creatures are too. :P

Attack roll? I guess that explains why Cori has yet to succeed in disarming anything with her whips. I guess it's ok if that is a high AB thing, though having some kind of option for a more DEX- or skill-based approach to disarming someone could be neat, too.

they are but knowing what category they are certainly narrows down the search

If you said

"Another creature is called Bramble" probably would have worked.

Areas are probably handy (thought not always due to how the spawning system works) if it's on a quest, it definately helps to find them.

The name should be plenty, I think it was just because this name is actually also just a word, so could have been interpretted as a random post.

Bramble now set as disarmable
