Anyone knowledgeable on 'lock crafting?

So... I decided to make my first ever non-HiPS char here. >.> First non-DEX based char... lol. And first crafting char. Heh. I'm screwed.
Anyway... I read somewhere that 'locks can't do craft wondrous items? Some mess-up on Obsidian's part or somesuch, kinda like they can't make acid weapons, only poison?
The post on the forums I read this on was an old thread (and I didn't want to bring it back from the grave), so I was wondering if anyone here knew if 'locks are able to 'craft wondrous items'? Or if it's possible, at least, here? I know I can take it, but like I said: i read that they just couldn't do it for some reason or another.
If what I read is correct, and still in effect, I'd rather not waste the feat.

Also hope this is an okay spot to ask this too, I'm trying to get used to these forums. :P

Howdy Grisome,

I think that isn't so with Storm of Zehir crafting/enchanting system actually. So I'm pretty confident it works although I have not tested. Also the way we implemented SoZ crafting is that you won't need specific spells either, rather just 'caster level' (and warlock caster level is the full warlock level, not halved like against spell resistances).

But incase it doesn't work for some reason we will likely take a look at either:
a) fix it.
b ) let you change the feat.

So for now I'd just stick with whatever plan you have ;) I'm pretty confident that it does work the same as it does for other classes on case of SoZ crafting/enchanting system.

And yeah this is appropriate spot on forums. General discussion is good for... well... general discussion :P

K. I was pretty excited about making a crafter for a change, so when I read that I was awful disappointed... I'll keep the feat and see what happens with it then, but I won't be taking it 'til like, 18 anyway. So I guess I have time to figure out of it'll work.
Thanks Mr. O.


EDIT: Okay, I managed a test... and I was able to make a belt. So unless something's different on Sigil, which I can't imagine why.... it works, and this post was pointless. :D
Unless anyone happens to know any other recipes that get messed up, like when you try to put acid on a weapon and get poison instead?

We don't use the obsidian recipes, so the acid to poison messup wouldn't happen on SCoD. Warlocks can craft same as other casters, there is no difference.

Our current recipes are here: http://z13.invisionfree.com/nwn2planesc ... wtopic=616

Official obsidian recipes from the various games will not work.

Well that's just more awesome then, isn't it? :D Good to know, now I don't have to worry about that. Thanks for the link.

Question. If you have something with, say, +3 con on it... and use a formula to put +5 on it, will it go over the +3?

Overwrites yes

Edit: although is the item is already full you can't upgrade it, so do that before the final enchantment is put on it

Alright, yeah, I'm used to that much.
Okay then. All my crafting questions should be set, thank you both.
