Moonmoon's Random Adventure Rollout

(Featuring Poppy too I believe!) I wanted to give a rousing shout out of thanks for doing the impromptu event! A mix of adventure, challenge, and those little roleplaying hooks that so often get overlooked at times. It was an utter blast! I've not had my toes in a DM event in quite some time, perhap...

Entropy damage missing - (Improved) Whirlwind

Attached the in game experience with the normal hit included at the top followed by the whirlwind attack. I'm uncertain if this only affects improved whirlwind or both feats. Weapon is treated with 1d8 fire temporary, 4 entropy permanent. Issue - Elemental damage entropy not registering as hits on v...

Re: Huge shoutout to Spyre

Over the years I have leaned to him for assistance, for inspiration, and for consoling even. The amount of work he's done in the time that I've known him is monumental. Without question his departure is understandable and he should know just how much he is adored. He should know that while the commu...

Re: Gift of wealth change concerns

Focus less on just a few bad apples and acknowledge a system for being what it is, exploitable. However few or many do so. Lest you slip into the 'why even have rules if you don't solve all the problem'? Gift of wealth is what it is, the devs have left it in but changed the expectations some. It's n...

Re: Suggestion Box

Probably not, not at least until some or a fair bit of the approved suggestions are put into effect.
I wouldn't wait for it so much as regard the sun each day and once and a while the eclipse shows up. I'd expect it to be a while, but it's entirely up to Irongron and the Dev crew.

It's a high level area best not ventured alone, might want to ask in character around before embarking next.

Re: Snake totem shape can have a better model

A few of the various totems could have skins actually. Given that they did skins for the familiars I wonder if a script could be allowed for totems to select a different skin? Ravens, parrot, and eagle totems I can understand are probably going to be similar, although reskinning either to say a seag...

Re: Arelith Forest ... makes me sad. *opinion*

The Shyr has vast areas, but it doesn't really add anything, I personally don't like the massive = untamed feeling in general.

Re: Noble Quarter Guildhouses

Instead of fixating on old characters perhaps it's time for something new? It tends to be what most people suggest.
And as stated, there's an in game method to 'apply it' at least for the duration of bidding.
I don't know what else to say in that regard.

Re: Noble Quarter Guildhouses

Noble is a minor, meaning you bump up something with the now easiest ever leveling in Arelith's time period to 16 and your next character is good to go. Takes not even a week, even if you're not trying.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Re: Druid - Shapechanger (Dragon?)

Ultimately you're looking at a minimum of 25 levels of the druid class (25 wisdom base required), you can go pure 30 for the monolith shape which plenty will argue is better. You get 3-5 levels you can splice with other classes if you're willing to sacrifice that monolith shape however. Knight being...

You need the appropriate lore to differentiate between the subraces in a lot of instances, not breaking the disguise would've always made it elf yes. Still remains the case.

This wouldn't be a bug, more a case of tagging/labeling. Characters enslaved at or after character creation can use the hub portal.
