Aside from cool game materials and information, you may be able to find an answer for whatever question you might have on the official Black Isle Studios Message Boards. If you aren't already registered, all it takes is a few minutes and you can be communicating with fellow Lionheart fans as well as Black Isle employees. ____________________________________________________________ Manual Addenda ____________________________________________________________ The following are changes or clarifications to the game manual that were overlooked or could not be made before our printing deadline: Generic Addenda Center on Character The interface option Center on Character is modal. If you turn it on, your character will remain in the center of the game screen at all times. If you leave it off (default), you are free to scroll the screen in any direction by moving the cursor to the sides of the screen or using the directional arrows on your keyboard. Character Attributes (Profile) The following abbreviations are used on this screen (see p. 68 for additional information): AC = Armor Class AP = Action Points HP = Hit Points HR = Healing Rate. MR = Mana Recharge. How quickly you recover Mana. Also on this page is a graph with different damage types down the left side. Moving across each row, this graph displays: Sword = your percentage to inflict this type of damage. 100 indicates you have neither a bonus nor a penalty. Shield with Cross = your Damage Resistance or chance to withstand this type of damage. Zero indicates no special resistance. Shield with Bolt = your Damage Threshold or the amount of this type of damage you can shrug off without taking HP damage. Zero indicates no Damage Threshold for this damage type. Damage Threshold (DT) This statistic is never properly explained in the manual. Damage Threshold (DT) is a number by which the the damage from any attack is reduced. That is, if your character has a 2 Fire DT, every Fire Damage attack against you will do 2 less points of damage. Damage Resistances (DR) In Lionheart, Damage Resistance indicates the percentage amount of damage that is not taken during an attack. Resistances above 100 heal the player for minute amounts. Acid, Crushing, Slashing and Piercing Resistances are capped at 75%. All other Resistances are capped at 125%. Full-Screen Press F2 at any time to remove the Main Interface. A Health and Mana counter and icons for Sneak, Search, and your currently selected spell will be displayed. Skill Points and Perks If you recieve a Perk which adds points to a skill, the skill will be increased as if you had actually spent those points on the skill. That is, if you have a high skill which costs multiple skill points to increase a single point, the perk will only increase that skill as much as it would have been increased if you had leveled up and spent those skill points yourself. Preventing Motion To make sure that the character will stand still while attacking, hold the <Shift> key down while clicking on a target. This will prevent the player from walking to the spot in case the first click "misses" the intended target. Archery Characters It may be possible in some situations to fire even when the red "X" is apparent. If there is a barrier between the character and the target, and the barrier seems like it would not prevent the shot (i.e. a stream), then it may be possible to hit the target even when the red "X" is showing. Specific Addenda New Perk: Master of Arms: You know just where to aim your weapon to cause the most pain. With this Perk, all crushing and slashing damage inflicted will do 25% more than normal due to your great skill. Requirements: Level 27, Strength 7 or better and One or Two-Handed skill of 200. Unarmed Skill has to be less than 100. Modified Perks: (Note: Perks that give Attribute bonuses will not be able to be selected by players that have an Attribute value of 10 or more.) Adrenaline Rush: At the first threshold, this Perk gives the player +1 AG and +20 Evasion. At the next threshold, this Perk gives the player an additional +1 AG, +10 Evasion and +1 Melee Damage. Bonus Hand to Hand: Only gives +1 point each rank instead of +2. Bonus Ranged Damage: 1 level instead of 2. Damage Resistance: 2 Levels instead of 3. Damage resistance increase is only 8% instead of 10%. Cannot also have Hide of Scars Perk or Tough Hide Perk. Deadly Accuracy: 15 points added to Ranged instead of 20. Eloquence: Adds 15 to Diplomacy and not Speech. Hide of Scars: No Charisma decrease. All resistances except fire increased by 6 and not 15. Requirements: Charisma minimum removed. Cannot also have Damage Resistance Perk or Tough Hide Perk. Master Trader: Adds 15 to Diplomacy and gives a 15% discount from merchants. Salesman: Adds 10 to Diplomacy and gives a 10% discount from merchants. Slayer: Requirements: Level 33 and minimum 200 unarmed skill required. All other requirements are the same. Sniper: Requirements: Level 33 and minimum 200 ranged skill required. All other requirements are the same. Swift Learner: There are now only 2 levels instead of 3. Tough Hide: All resistances increase by 5% and not 7%. Requirements: 7 or lower Endurance. Cannot also have Hide of Scars Perk or Damage Resistance Perk. Undead Glory: Grants an undead damage bonus of +1 instead of the "to hit" bonus. Modified Traits: Good Natured: Adds +35 to Barter instead of +25. Nasty Disposition: Adds +10 to fighting skills instead of +9. Renaissance Man: Added both Ranged and Unarmed to the list of Melee skills that get decreased. Also subtracts -3 from AC. Small Frame: Minimum ST of 3 to select. Studious Tinkerer: Player has to actually spend the skill points in a skill to gain the extra points instead of other means, such as magical item additions. Modified Racial Traits: Demonic Frenzy: Added +10 points to Evasion. Forked Tongue: This WILL mark you as tainted. Scaly Hide: Adds +5 to AC and NOT +10. Also subtracts -1 from CH. Modified Spells: Armor of Bones: Does not affect Piercing Damage Resistance. p.23 The Fifth Crusade. The manual's dates are correct in the timeline on p.18 but are incorrect in the textual accounting. The roots of the Necromancers do date back to 1336; however, they did not become a major threat to Europe until the late 14th century. The Fifth Crusade began officially in 1418, just months after the first direct attacks against European nations began. The Fifth Crusade ended with Lord Amonsil's death in 1449. Transferring Multiplayer Save Games To transfer your multiplayer save games to another system you need to copy the entire Save Games folder and server.txt, both of which are located in the root of the folder you installed Lionheart to. Both the Save Games folder and server.txt must be present and in the root folder of your installation, on the machine you are transferring the game to, for your saved game to work correctly. Note: If you have not had clients join your multiplayer save game you may not have a server.txt file - in this case you only need copy the Save Games folder. ____________________________________________________________ Additional Credits ____________________________________________________________ The following individuals are missing from the credits in the manual (all apologies): Black Isle Studios Associate Producer Thomas French Audio Producer Fred Hatch 3D Character Modeling and Texturing Eric Campanella Brian Menze Interplay Associate Product Manager Mike Los (sorry about that typo, Mike) Quality Assurance Analysts Pam Ferdinand Rob Fernandez Erick Lujan Matt Sarinas Josh Thomas Daniel Westmoreland Jonathan Wong Audio - Music Composed and Mixed by Inon Zur VO Dialogue Editing Fred Hatch Lionheart VO Cast: Grant Albrecht Dee Bradly Baker Earl Boen Mako Robin Adkin Downs Barry Dennen Greg Ellis Steve Franken Brian George Jennifer Hale James Horan Rodger L.

Any updated versions will be found at the official Lionheart website at http://lionheart.blackisle.com. Multiplayer Games: Performance: It is recommended that the most robust computer host the game. Pause when selecting 'Internet': If you are not currently connected to the Internet when you select this option, there will be a significant pause when this is first selected as the game tries to connect. Connect to the Internet before starting a MP game of Lionheart. Loading a game while a client is within a merchant's store may keep a store window open for the client when the game finishes loading. The store will be empty, and closing the store window will not affect gameplay. Known Problems and Solutions: Voices looping rapidly: While this is a very rare problem, if you hear character voices looping on the first couple of words of their dialog, you can address this problem by simply quicksaving (F9), exiting, and then loading the game. Interface windows rapidly closing and opening: When you press the associated key, if your windows are opening and closing too quickly, you may want to try adjusting your Windows keyboard repeat rate found in your Control Panel. Quick slot items are not stored for clients in multiplayer games. If a client returns to the main menu or exits Lionheart completely, when the client rejoins a game the quick slot spells/items are now empty. Playing in Windows95: Lionheart does not officially support Windows95. The game has recieved significant testing on this OS and should perform correctly under most circumstances. Crash during character creation: The only significant error occurs occasionally during character creation the first time Lionheart is played after the PC has been Restarted (Rebooted). Under these circumstances, the game has been reported to crash when loading the character model. If this occurs, restart Lionheart and the problem should not occur again until you restart your computer.
