Holy Moly check this out, they finally fixed the one thing I have been asking Bioware to fix from the beginning!

Quote
# Extended the glowing monk eye effect to work on all the default playable races.
# Neutral monks now get ultra cool purple glowing eyes.
# Fixed placement of glowing monk eyes on Human/Half-Elf females (much thanks to the DLA team for their help with this).

I can't wait to see 420 with her cool new purple glowing eyes!

-420


EDIT: Some more tasty tidbits
Quote
# Fixed an issue that was causing creatures to always face east when sitting on a stool placeable (plc_x05.pwk).
# Cure spells now do DAMAGE_TYPE_POSITIVE to undead rather than DAMAGE_TYPE_NEGATIVE (nw_i0_spells.nss).

Ha ha ha I fixed that second one on Throbbleserv over a year ago!

Yes Bioware seems to be having some problems,  This is what happens after a game has been out for 3 years and all the original staff are on to other projects.

I just let my Update program keep on failing and after a little bit it finally found the right file to download.  Stupid thing

"Immunity to "Mind Affecting Spells" will no longer make you immune to the Monk's Stunning Fist attack."

We do not want topics about any of the BioWare games in this particular forum--this is strictly for help with the web site. This means:

NO topics about CD keys for NWN. Instructions are given very clearly in this sticky and in the NWN support area.
NO topics asking for installation instructions.

NO questions about walkthroughs, cheats, etc.

P.S: finally, found their damn topic about the patch...

1. Khadgar, stop trying the update button and try this link dammit!

2. Anheg, you may have partially upgraded, you can try the critical rebuild for 1.65 to revert fully back then try 1.66 again.

3. Last night was a ton of monk vs. monk stunning fist duels! Monk duels are now MUCH shorter than before. YAY!

Tyr was right, I DLed the wrong patch, but It still will not let me because it says

Quote
The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete.
This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or a virus.

You may want to contact the author of this installer to obtain a new copy.

It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED).

I am kinda frustrated but I have yet to do 420's idea so that will be my next move
