Description
SUMMARY: This mod is designed for a starting Monk character, and comes with a large range of upgradeable robes designed for single and multi-class monks. The setting is the Island of Jin-Po, which can be imagined as a feudal Chinese island under the control of a Japanese Empire. The possession of weapons is highly illegal, and so the great Master Monk Gouken has begun training students in The Way at his mountaintop temple. Now, as a Novice of the Temple, the time has come for you to take your Initiation, and become a full-fledged Disciple of Gouken. But dark agencies both mundane and supernatural are at work on the Island of Jin-Po, and it will take all your skill and training to prevail. FEATURES: Full supporting cast of NPCs, many with unique and useful abilities and knowledge. Some NPCs (both friendly and enemy) are capable of stealth and ambushes. Two semi-secret side quests for the more advanced player. A unique (I think) system for death and respawning.
I've rescued the samurai from the ship and had been told of someone waiting for me on top of the mountain when I decided to tie up the loose end of the demon door in the forest. The Devil Killer and my monk were neatly killing everything and had gone through three vestries when we hit the vestry of death. We killed all the zombies and as we left, the scripting event that removed the polymorph effects activated and the game crashed. I started up the game and after the fight I cheated and just used the cancel polymorph option from the radial dial and tried again, it crashed. I started the game up, repeated except this time I decided to rest to remove the polymorph effect from the NPC, no good that seems to be the only room in the entire damn mod you can't rest in as I'd never been restricted from doing so before. So I decided to simply kill the NPC, I did so and then used the ring to try and bring her back, that made the game crash. So after starting up again I went into stealth and let the zombies kill the NPC (which actually required me to use the cheats to lower her CON to 3 and raise one of the zombies STR to 56 after three minutes of them not hitting her). I then lowered the "enhanced" zombie's STR to 10 and I killed the lot of them, used the ring...and the game crashed. Can this quest be completed?

I have his contact info but I don't want to give it out. The last time I talked to him he said he was still going to finish part 2. That was quite some time ago. I posted this if anyone wants to scroll down. I don't want to bug him about the module. I figure if he wanted to let anyone know he would. We will just have to settle for only part 1.

As I mentioned a few months ago I still find the mountain part unplayable at least for a char level 4 or even 5. Worse these guys are actually respawning! BTW sneak attack since to work only once and a while w/o that even shuriken +1 are not very effective. May be a new Bioware bug. Also regarding this part it is possible to learn what are the creatures weaknesses yet unless you have spells I found no related weapons to take them (the spirits) down. And yes I do try to take them one at a time. I would recommend to start this mod with a level 4-6 char to make it less tedious early on (1rst and 3rd quest). As it is I can't give it a high score.

It's been over a year and I still await the sequel. This is one of the best modules ever made for NWN and THE best module for a monk character. If you ever wanted to play a monk, download this module now!
