Well, I could be wrong!

Actually, you -used- to be able to get med to notch a lot by doing that. I think it was waaay back on S1.. I used to talk a lot while medititating, so I'd always gsay then med, and my med skill would notch a crapload. chuckle

Looks like that was fixed a while ago though

[Razabble]

Well if that was the case and the meditate lag is no longer needed then lets get it out of there.

Med lag brings a fun risk when you need to mem in a dangerous area

i have tested this thing of spamming med and it does nothing. therefore med lag is useless

I actually have another question about meditate. I have a level 7 Drow Necromancer who has learned something new about meditate once. His INT is perfect and his WIS is heroic. Today I was playing in the URD area. Since he is Drow during the daylights hours all I did was meditate. This got me nothing in the terms of a notch. I also have an Illithid who is level 3 with stats that are almost the same, but lesser. He has learned something new about mediate at least 7 or 8 times. Is it just that Drow aren't as good at this as Illithids?

[Malacar]

Yes. Med lag is useless, but that's only my opinion.

Yes, meditate does not notch enough. I forget all, mem all.. 30+ times.. And get maybe one notch if I am lucky.

I think the rate might need to be tweaked.. And maybe med lag removed, but I'm so used to it, I don't care.

Please have it disappear.

In my experience, the only time you'll have a med notch is at the point when the skill check is performed (halfway thru the memtime for any particular spell). This is no different then any other skill in that regard. I can see having bash lag for that reason (kinda ), but I can't see the reason for having med lag.

Yes, med lag gets on my nerves too.

But man, I really wish I could meditate and still be able to look around and talk to people and instantly be back into deep meditation again.

I think med lag is good. (maybe reduce it by a third or so, but don't get rid of it)

Yeah skill lags suck. I think it should lag less as you gain more levels till slowly at level 50 you just get a tiny bit if any skill lag at all.
