Hello Larians!

I've got a few suggestions and "nice to have" points for the GM Mode.

[b]Suggestions: [/b]
[list]
[*]-Add direct messaging from GM to players (so the GM can only "whisper" to 1 PC)
[*]-Placing a debuff on a PC which turns him into an enemy for a duration of X (so the AI takes over and starts attacking party members)
[*]-Re-scaling Monsters/items would be nice
[*]-Make pets or NPC's "follow" the party/or 1 party member
[*]-Modify existing skills (i.e. add a self poison effect upon use of -insert skill name here-
[*]-PC on-click event modifying (i.e. player picks up a book and receives a debuff)
[*]-Fog of War (so PC's can't see the whole map)
[*]-Adjust NPC's with dialogues + optional answers
[*]-custom skill filled with an array of debuffs/buffs, which will grant a random buff/debuff from that "list/array"
[*]-option to let a player take over the control over a NPC/monster
[*]-Leader/minion depending AI (i.e. minions supports the leader in an encounter group)
[*]-direct use of an skill from the GM Skillbook onto a PC/NPC (w/o dragging it somewhere)
[*]-creating runes with individual stats and exclude them from the crafting system
[*]-Mass destruction of PC/NPC(family)/items. (maybe this could be controlled via the encounter menu)
[*]-optional: Maybe some sort of minigame for the players while in "Pause" Mode, so the GM can add things in case he needs to which takes more time than a few minutes.

[/list]

The GM Mode has so much to give already, which is great! The above mentioned points are merely a vision. I know due to the nature of the GM mode, that most of these "auto-scripted" things are not possible as of now, but maybe in the future :)

Some points could be managed by modding them, but the complexity is huge for "normal" beings at this moment^^

Some minor bugs:

[list]
[*]-Placing a buff/debuff on a npc with unlimited duration (-1) can't be erased by the option "clear" or the little "x" in the debuff/buff overview. You have to "redo" the buff with duration of >=0. Then the debuff disappears finally.
[*]-Setting the "minimum" damage on an NPC to 3000 while the "maximum" damage stays @5 works. Shouldn't the maximum damage always start at least by "minimum" damage?
[/list]

Some modding introducing videos would be cool too, though. I've tried to simply "copy" a weapon and add it onto my campaign. That's a pretty hassle for me atm lol. Maybe it's easy, but I couldn't find the way of it.

Thanks for considering/reading and sorry if I picked some points which were already mentioned.

Best regards~

2-3 things I Need help with (not specially a bug but if someone can help)

- Fog of war is a huge functionnality to have!
- Was disappointed, can't put a pnj on a torture engine^^
- Partol (saw this on another post)
- Can i move a pnj without possessing it? (didn't find out)
- Bug XP reward to correct ;)
- Can't put text on sign, i put a description but when players click it, there's just a message who say there's is nothing to read, normal?

Hope you will be following this ;)
