Re: HARBINGER FEEDBACK

I very much like the idea of the class, but I feel like it's currently pidgeon-holed into being an "evil" class, which is annoying as we already have a Charisma-based Evil Martial class in Blackguard. Hexblade was a super interesting idea and worked fairly well, and when I saw what a harbinger could...

Re: WM?

I think it should be said that out of all the classes, WM is one of the few that has seen effectively no changes from the original NWN class release. This means that it's not excatly a misbalance on the Devs' side of things, but in my opinion rather a problem of NWN as a whole. You don't take WM bec...

Re: We need better rewards for grouping for dungeons

Personally, I have time issues with Arelith. I enjoy the game and the RP it provides, but I work odd hours and have an inconsistent schedule. Part of the issue with grouping is my own distaste for "RP" that is simply someone just saying "writ?" and inviting you to a group. You both wordlessly go thr...

Re: Sibayad should be an explicitly evil settlement

Sibayad being a proper evil settlement would be neat. But yeah, you'd need enough support and forces to beat back the surfacers who's want to end it. In saying that, the server isn't what it was a few years ago and right now I think you'd have little to no opposition being evil in Sib if you have a...

Re: New Area Content Poll

My biggest hope is that we can see more content given to places that have sort of fallen off in recent times. The most notable in my mind is Sibayad, it felt like a place for the more rogue-ish elements to mix on the surface, but due to a multitude of issues throughout the years the settlement has d...

Re: HARBINGER FEEDBACK

Trying to understand the Weapon Hex feat line, does it provide a damage increase to the weapon damage dice itself? So a shortsword becomes a d8 weapon rather than a d6. Or does it improve the damage dice provided from the hex itself, the 1d6/2d4 damage that is effectively an essence?

Re: PGCC Monk Feedback

While I definitely appreciate all the changes with the recent update of the info, I've noticed that the Katar remain notably absent from all the techniques.

Re: Divine Champion Feedback thread

A lot of Divine Champion is currently restricted by the divine wrath changes, while at the time it was done because being a low-CHA DC ended up being one of the best ways to build. The CHA requirement for full benefits is incredibly restrictive buildwise now. Both Paladin and Blackguard end up requi...

Re: Vigilante and Liberator Feedback Thread

We've seen talk of removing the Dirty Fighting Pre-req and switching to perhaps a higher BAB requirement or a separate feat. Would there be any changes to the vindication path to fit this? As is, guerilla warfare's path only really benefits dirty fighting, and would become effectively dead with the ...

Re: Dragon Disciple the (not so) prestigious

My own opinion, we could take some notes from the Dragonfire Adept as well, if we'd like to focus more on the breath weapon and the options that their invocations could give. Adept is more focused as a sort of monk/caster, but I think with an invocation similar to Warlock's heavy armor prof one, you...

Re: PGCC Monk Feedback

Personally, it seems weird that of all the monk weapons and choices, Katar is notably absent from any path, features or additions.

I've not really been playing Arelith as long as most people, honestly only about two or three years.
