Remember in PnP when it was really bad to get touched by a lich? Neither do I, but I'm sure it was worse than getting touched by one in stock NWN.

So I've created a spell that's used as an on-hit spell that can be applied to the lich's creature weapon. I've tried to be as faithful as possible to the monster manual, with the exception of it actually being a 'touch' attack, since a normal attack is rolled anyway to hit.

The three negative effects are:

1) Damaging Touch: 1d8 +5 negative damage. Will save for 1/2 damage.

2) Paralzing Touch: Fort save or permanent paralysis.

3) Touch of Despair: -2 attack, damage, saves, and skills for 'duration of encounter' - in this case 30 seconds. (got this one from the monsters of faerun).

The script seems to work great, but since it's used as an on-hit, I'm concerned that it might be a negative drain effect on system resource. Can any of you guys take a look and see if I can cut any corners? Thanks!

Well the obvious thing that you could be more efficient about is not constructing all those effects until (or unless) you need them.

I wouldn't worry too much about it being an onHit though. People found they couldn't put it on every weapon to emulate having an onHit event - that's why people say you need to be careful with it. One onHit script isn't gonna kill most mods...

Thanks Cereborn! I'll move those effects further down to where they're actually utilized.

I knew I heard something about being wary of on-hit spells for weapons. I have written a couple of on-hits for the undead monsters in my module, like a true shadow strength damage, wraith constitution drain, etc. - including summons.

I guess I'll have to load test it to determine how many on-hit spells is too many.

Hehe, for a Lich who isn't ever meant to really spend time in hand to hand combat, it'd be fine if the AI doesn't decide to stop casting spells - most Lich's Forte

Nice though. The Bioware creature weapons just have monster paralsis on it (not sure how thats done either).
