It is worth noting that panther's viability just skyrocketed since you can -guard it without a knight dip now. Wait. What's this? How do we -guard sumons? This is something new I've totally missed. The update that enabled that literarily came online 1 hour ago. No wonder you have not heard of it be...

Unrelated to Assassins, but since it is a poison thread, what do people think of using poisons in PvE? I am currently playing a ranger and it sounds appealing thematically, but I am unsure whether I can make it work (PvE poison use specifically). Anyone else has experience in that department?

I remember a comment by the dev that implemented this that it was intended design that there was no toggle to it. Any case, things may have changed since then. As players, we tend to like when things are optional, but there might be a balance concern somewhere that I am unaware of with the decision ...

The Settlement system in each district 'theoretically' allows you to boot out anyone you'd rather not have in your Racial Only hub. However, that tends to raise angry eyebrows of existing residents due to the scarcity of excellent property. Also there IS a Svirfneblin city. Deep Grotto. Other Earthk...

Sorcs will need to be decoupled from div shield synergy (not div grace) much like FS before they can get any mechanical buffs. I am no developer nor do I know the reality of coding, but could this be implemented in the form of Paths? I suppose in similiar fashion that Spellswords now come in a vari...

forcing the only alternative is to have the ride skill or buy a key

It has a 3rd entrance, but you have to go pretty deep to reach it. i.e. lowerdark

I leave the mechanical numbers and values to others, but I will just chime my "feedback" that I appreciate the effort to disable divine saves and shield, for it allows others defensive avenues to be designed and to balance the class while not becoming overpowered when stacked with Divine boons. Like...

...What spell damage update? Since when? Ps: Shadow Evocation/Conjuration spells (etc) can not be empowered, maximized or extended, which does limit their usefulness. It is probably a mechanical reason, but pointing out it nonetheless. I was frustrated by it when I tried to make All-Illusion Sorcerer.

Back in my days... Player-Character dragons weren't extremely rare.

It was a good time to be a Kobold and fangirl over those who choose to reveal themselves and played their dragons in a believeable way.

On Ravenloft, I think Familiars were able to be possessed by a Wizard and moved to a different zone even that the caster. It has been a long time, but I think it did return back to you when you ended possession. If Scrying was meant to have a sensor, maybe spawn an invisible "Scry Sensor" next to th...

Issue remains unresolved. Honsa Krell is still braindead, and does not engage in combat - neither by Associate Tool nor by Attack Nearby. Took upon a pummeling from 6x Quagiroth Plainsmen and just.... stood there.

You might enjoy playing a Strength Ranger. A Dual-wielding melee combatant in medium armor, swords enchanted to glow red by blade thirst, an Animal Companion on their side to deal additional damage. Should be rather self-sufficient, especially since Blade Thirst gives Vampiric Regeneration, meaning ...

When I got my Greater, I made a Yuan-Ti Cleric, later refund into Shaman. Why? I had this concept of a shifty, wandering Yuan-Ti walking the border of life and death, making deals with spirits like the character itself was a god of death offering second chances, or the means to get deeds left undone...

Likely to bring flavour to SS rotation. Wizard do have access to Infinicast spells via spell focus, and likely more slots than spellsword due to pure INT focus, as well as specialized spell slot equipment. That would be my guess. Wizards do also get Epic Spells, while Spellsword access to them is mo...

I disagree. You can live without Discipline, and 3 rogue levels early allows you to push your lvl 20 wizard bonus feat into epics. Sure, being Knockdown sucks, but you do become immune after one such and have a chance to respond with timestop, Gsanct or other spell. Just means you either need to hav...

Well, you do want to grab greater and epic illusion focus, that much is certain. You also want to take a 4th rogue level at lvl 29 or 30 to max out your skills. Most people will recommend to take Spell Focus in Conjuration, as summons make leveling a breeze, and Necromancer doesnt seem to suit your ...

Sneak Attack mechanic is by most part fine. Sure, it requires tricky play to utilize or an ally, but its not bad by any means. AC creep has been a thing that hurts Rogue with their 3/4 BAB, but I don't think the satisfying solution would involve increasing AB. If you play a Deep Rogue, thematically ...

Since we are in the subject of Rogues.... Not all Rogues are Thieves. It would be cool if you were able to pick another Language at level 7, to "opt out" of Thieves Cant if your character is not a Thief. Likewise, that would make those who DO take Thieves Cant to feel more values, as a proper langua...

A very good essay. A thoughtful one. Thank you for writing it.

The ruling is that epic characters should not linger in Skall with the purpose of lording over the general populace, or swinging around their power. If a group of epics were able to stay, they would inevitably always be involved to deal with whatever big bad that rises, as well as hog up all the sho...

Seema like an oversight, or likely no-one bothered to check such a thing, as there are not many size-restricted spaces in the server. That is the only one I know, personally.

My shaman was one who communed with spirits, so it did fit them. However, not every shaman are of their particular brand. A path or other option at lvl 2 woould be more work, but it would allow people to choose their flavor.

That, or ghost stream to undead.

One way to reset the playing field would be not have Pilfering Poem affect the bard itself. Then you need 2x to break. But with the ease of leveling, groups of people would just level rogue friends to the bards and we are back at square 1.

What I don't enjoy is that 1 build can solo QB. Either other builds should also be able to, or no one should be able to and it should be a group effort.

*mourns in Trickery Cleric, which was made an unviable QB candidate with Domain updates*
