Re: Faction leaders need better rule-compliance tools

Faction leaders already have a lot on their hands, they don't need to add policing other players to the list.

Players don't need tools to police other players.

Also this, too. Let the DMs deal with it and report it if you feel there's something unusual going on.

Re: Surface Evil Needs Another Home

I've avoided replying directly to this thread for a while, mainly because I genuinely dislike the notion of 'team good' and 'team evil' and in fact think it harmful to setting & gameplay. I absolutely won't build towards it. Evil should be in competition with itself, and ideally most characters wil...

Re: New Area Content Poll

Freth Tower quarters. Come on, it's begging for it!

Other than that I agree both the Sharps and the Devil's Table are quite dated and would benefit from a facelift and probably add one or two shops to each of them.

Re: Availability of Special Appearances

The "if everyone is special no one is" is a terrible fallacy that is difficult to see it's still employed in these kind of discussions. Maybe, just maybe, the player doesn't want to be 'special' at all and is just playing a concept they are interested to do? There is a reason someone picks a tieflin...

Re: This is not a good decision IMO

I think a second, longer cooldown could be added, with duration of say, two or three days, that allows someone in your party to loot the chest even if you are on the runic cooldown. It sucks to meet a character you don't see often, invite them to a dungeon and they get nothing from it because you ar...

Re: Vigilante Alignment

Yes. The general concept doesn't justify alignment lock and I can clearly see a situation where the Vigilante becomes a greater problem than the evil they are supposed to fight. That would be interesting roleplay.

Re: Your list of Useless Feats

While not necessarily useless, I made a suggestion for the Silver Palm feat to add +2 Bluff on top of the +2 Leadership and Appraise it grants right now.

Re: Divine Champion Feedback thread

Yeah, I agree that the dismal 14/18 progression on CoT epic feats is part of the problem with the class. When it was due for its most recent nerf/rework, I suggested going from 2/4/6/8/10/14/18 to 1/4/7/10/13/16/19. I think everything you proposed has merit, aside from a fairly minor quibble about ...

Re: Divine Champion Feedback thread

I'd be a little concerned about divine synergy any earlier than 19, because it would fix just about all the problems that I outlined above for the pal/cot/wm combo; you'd be looking at pal 7/CoT 18/WM 5 probably. I also suspect that this build would outperform either the 8 fighter/5 WM/17 BG or the...

As it is now, there's no reason to play a DC that isn't CHA based (it's not a problem CHA based DCs, I like the concept and they should be a valid path to build one) and even those are inherently inferior to their deep div counterparts. DC lacks tangible features. Divine Wrath can't carry the class ...
