Description
WARNING: THIS MODULE DOES NOT CURRENTLY WORK WITH HOTU, AND MAY NOT WORK WITH v.1.61 AT ALL. I'll fix it when I can, but that involves a bunch of uninstalling/reinstalling expansions, and a friend has some of my NWN disks right now. The problem is with polymorphing into a raven to fly back to your lair, which isn't necessary to finish the mod but eliminates a LOT of walking since you go back home often to build new skeletons. In Bone Kenning you play a thanaturge, a necromancer from a long family tradition who animates bones through a ritual called the Incant of Reanimation.
I just put my actual rating in (an Hall of Fame nomination)

SteveB: Everything but the teleportation scripts (raven feather) works with hotu 1.62 - it is just a lot more of walking...

Will it work soon with HoU and 1.62 patch ? I want to try it as soon as possible.

Yes more evil mods hands up! It's a pity seing how much the dark side is neglected, or it's rapresented superficially and from a "good" point of wiew. Mods that explore the reasons and beliefs of evil character are desperately needed! Darkness has it's attractions, which everyone can feel and only hypocrites deny... IT IS TIME TO REMOVE THE BLINDFOLD OF HIPOCRISY!!! HAIL SATA... ehm excuse me I got carried away... :D

Hi guys, I haven't played this mod yet but looking foward to do so very soon. Looks like this mod is a very good mod for the evil community. I myself made two evil mods (Blackguard I II) which are not really for necromancers but for totally insane blackguards. I just had this crazy idea of doing another serie (after Blackguard) where the character would be...a necromancer. You can be sure I'll give it a try, for the evil I can spawn and to make sure I don't replicate your ideas if I build another necromancer mod. I'll post you my comments after I beat it. Steve

An imaginative module with a good story, a refreshingly original theme, great dialogue and the chance to scare the bejeezus out of the locals and do lots of evil acts. But the lack of a built-in respawn system combined with the (intentionally) broken creature summoning spells and large areas to run across made the module incredibly tedious at times. A good effort, but it just didn't quite hit the spot for me.

I loved this moddule, can't wait for the next one in the series. Does anyone know of any good modules for evil wizards? I've played this one as well Necromancer, but thats all I can find. Any ideas?

A very enjoyable module! Excellent idea about combining different bones for different effects. Unfortunately the feather didn't work on mine, but this is probably due to having the latest patch (I don't own HotU or SoU). Keep up the good work, and I hope the next part is even better
