Re: Are Shadows Evil?

yes, shadows are evil. people might play their concept one way or another, but a shadow (as defined in the D&D monster manual) is an evil, undead abomination of pure negative energy. they are nefarious, cruel, and malicious. they delight in extinguishing life wherever they see it, and hate everythin...

Re: Innate ability not recieved

check your inventory. it looks like the thing you get in "hoards of the underdark" expansion that revives you and allows you to visit the reaper (i don't remember what it was called). it's a 1x1 item. on examining it, you should see the gifts you chose, and it will have all of your racial and gift-b...

Re: Gentle Reminder for Native English Speakers

And we DO all place ourselves on the line when we roleplay. In fact, I think the people who distance themselves most emotionally from their characters are often the ones who are most invested in mechanical wins. The "if you lose, be prepared to lose" crowd, often seem to me to be the ones most set ...

Re: Gentle Reminder for Native English Speakers

we would still often invest ourselves, our emotions, and identities into our characters, and insults to our characters would consequentially reflect poorly on ourselves. I mean it might hurt us, and unnecessary hurting is something we generally might want to avoid. for the love of all that is holy,...

Re: Gentle Reminder for Native English Speakers

I have seen a lot of people taking another player's "poor" English grammar (which should remain OOC) and using it IC to justify calling that character stupid, or slow, etc; even characters who should be expected to have high INT scores, like wizards. sounds like an in-character response to role pla...

Re: About That Enchanting Suggestion

But we could do something similar with enchantment to decouple it from feats entirely, and thus from a school [or anything]. If we make it feat based, we're admitting that Wizards are better than Sorcerers at it, simply because they will always have more feats to burn. but... wizards are better tha...

Re: About That Enchanting Suggestion

Is it worth noting that Crafting and Enchanting basically serve one function, 'To Make Gear'. Only we expect enchanting to require at least 3 feats to be any good at it, but we don't require crafting to require any feats to be good at it? it has a separate system with the crafting points. basically...

I do have some reservations about a character with 4 bard levels enchanting as well as a level 25 caster, though. Perhaps make the epic focus gate caster level 21 instead of character level 21? seconded that there should be a caster level gate. also, i think the benefits should increase slightly to...

Re: The Current Writ Limitations Break Immersion

not being able to complete a writ isn't denying them roleplay, though. it's... well, it's denying them a MAJOR xp boost until they're no longer in a group with the high level character who trivializes the challenge that the boost is supposed to be a reward for.

Re: The Current Writ Limitations Break Immersion

well, except that the entire point of the writs was to encourage partying with similarly-leveled characters (or soloing) in an appropriately challenging area.
