Custom names for weapons

mototom · October 31st, 2020, 10:40 AM

In HL Classic I recall we could give a weapon a custom name. It doesn't look like that's something that can be done in HLO right now, is it?

Many NPCs have weapons that have a name I'd like to keep track of, and PCs might end up in possession of special weapons. I realize we can create a custom weapon, but that seems like a lot of work just to have an otherwise normal magical weapon with a unique name.

An odd thing to have gone astray. I'll have to add this to our to-do list.

If you go to Permanent Adjustments and select the Override Name option (right down at the bottom) you can still do this.

That's not available for NPCs, unless you go through the hassle of using the PC rules. (And I still wonder why they've moved something as straightforward as the weapon name to an adjustment.)

I don't know that it was an intentional move, actually. There was a lot of overhaul done internally recently to go with the API support, and it might have gone amiss in that, because I thought it was an option. It's on our list of things to look at though, I know that, and seems like a thing that should be present.
