Re: Jhaamdath Xun'viir: Shelfing/Break time

This character has been ended after the Sunday event. Thank you for all the interaction. I had fun with everyone involved, but after today I have no plans to return to Arelith as real life demands my attention for the lengthy and foreseeable future.

Have a good game everyone.

Re: Player Review on: Arelith

Yeah. I've seen the character assassination problems here. Been a subject of it myself and accused of things I never actually did. My reaction was simply that I must be doing something interesting enough to warrant being character assassinated. That said, it's probably the single worst part of Areli...

Re: Undo the Dispel Changes

Thoughts on how dispel is in current Arelith Meta I don't mind if Dispel is improved for all casters across the board. Arelith players on the mechanics side often make these janky builds where they want to rely on using maximized magical buffs, or stacking stats. Being able to dispel that is fine i...

Re: Druid elemental forms are too strong defensively.

The forms are simply too durable was my point. Remove some DR, remove some AC, but increase their offense to compensate (Because their offense is pretty weak.) Crit immunity and immunity to all stuns, mind magic, and knockdown is a very potent perk. It should have suitable tradeoffs.

Andunorian Cage Should create reprecussions for attending.

The belt having a player's name on it was a good idea. How about we also make sure that when players fight the matches, they have to do so undisguised so it goes on the heralds.. How else would they get a belt with their name on it in the first place.

Re: Finding a Corpse Etiquette - Rez em, Give em back their coins

I don't really think you need to raise a random player if you find them. It's a nice gesture, but roleplay should take precedence. Respawn isn't really the end of the world. If taking the head makes sense, do that. If raising the character makes sense, do that, but I think treating the setting with ...

Re: Vampire race.

Rogue 24/6 vampires are very very potent because they have few weaknesses. Barbarian Vampire are also crazy strong. The class has all the benefits of undead and not much of the weaknesses. (Bless weapon doesn't even work on them cause they don't actually count as undead).

Re: To Everybody that Once Stepped Foot(or claw or tentacle) on Skal (and the DMs) - Ultra Mastered Edition

I always wanted to try doing an 'expeditionary event' and the Palladium plotline was a perfect reason. It's likely I'll plan another one soon, with a more nautical theme. This isn't really possible without the other players who say 'Okay, let's do what this angry drow says'. So I appreciate that peo...

Re: Druid elemental forms are too strong defensively.

A druid using Monolithic elemental shape doesn't need discipline because it -cannot be knocked down or disarmed.- They don't need UMD because you don't use UMD in a polymorph anyway. It's not mechanically possible. They don't need tumble because they can just get Epic Damage Resistance 3 times, and ...

Druid elemental forms are too strong defensively.

They are absurdly durable with great AC, DR, and crit immunity. Might be worth looking at giving them the 'palemaster' treatment.

Quality of life: Time Dilations between servers

For those playing drow or vampires, it's extremely frustrating to go from a server that just hit 20:00 to one that is at 6:00. It would be great if this was looked at where all servers had a coordinated time.

PG-13 and what it actually means based on definition

I've had concerns lately with how the perceptions of Arelith have come to inhibit mature or interesting roleplay. I've observed players and Dungeon Masters leaning towards the more "PG' side of things, which does not fit the Dungeons and Dragons setting as an ethos. I would like a mature discussion ...

Re: Arelith impressions.

I can agree with the RPR thing. While I suspect there is a detailed process and notes, it's hard to actually know what defines qualifications for high RPR.

I'm in agreement with this. Plenty of canonical ranger orders have nothing to do with nature dieties. A ranger is a woodsman, not necessarily a worshipper of the woods.

Re: The "Personal Story"

I tend to create a very barebones beginning to a concept. The reality is what your character did before they arrived in the setting and module is not very important.
