Path of the tribesman: tribesmen interaction.
Hello there,
I'm just a new member in the server- literally just been toying around with the paths, looking for something that draws me in- both mechanically and of course, to build a character concept around.
One path that's really drawn my attention is the Tribesman: I see much potential for RP, especially trying to bring to life not just the PC itself, but the two kinsmen walking with them- each with their own personalities, flaws, strengths and motivations. They aren't just summons, but real, breathing people within the game world.
As such, what I'm proposing here is just a little something to keep them from having to *wander off* all the time: being able to actually make them stow their weapons away. It's not much from a mechanical point of view: they already "spawn" with their weapons sheathed and take them out at the first fight. However, the fact they keep them on, even when you venture into a heavily guarded area that explicitly forbids carrying your weapons on your shoulders- it kinda makes them look like they're out for blood, when they're only tagging along with you on your way back home, or to the store.

Re: Path of the tribesman: tribesmen interaction.
Yeah, they really need a conversation that lets you ask them to do some things.
Mind you, they also need some rebalancing, I think they're too weak/flimsy right now.
Also - welcome!

Re: Path of the tribesman: tribesmen interaction.
Hm... If by endgame they're too weak, a way of beefing them up could be allowing gear to be made, enchanted and equiped to them. A risk would be if they get killed/despawned, you'd provably lose that gear, though...
Maybe a -tribe1 and a -tribe2 command to also allow them to speak directly, like a mage's familiar?

Re: Path of the tribesman: tribesmen interaction.
I think the tribal warriors essentially wear whatever armor the PC does, so if you have adamantine armor on, so do they. Is that correct?Bragnir wrote:Hm...

They wear whatever type of armor you're wearing, with the same appearance, but no bonus properties.KregorRanger wrote:I think the tribal warriors essentially wear whatever armor the PC does, so if you have adamantine armor on, so do they. Is that correct?
If you're wearing Adamantine Full Plate, they're wearing cheap knock-off Bronze Full Plate, polished to look like Adamantine.

Re: Path of the tribesman: tribesmen interaction.
At the moment, this also means that if you're not a full plate barbarian, your tribesmen are going to have crappy AC because their DEX is nothing to tote about.
Re: Path of the tribesman: tribesmen interaction.
Perhaps give them a better DR than a PC barbarian to make up for their lack of AC? Have them wield +1 enchanted weapons? Give them boons similar to the animal companion rework?
