I love you all. <3

I try to be invincible for people-- Usually bad things start on my day off when I need for my nephew. Usually, something I warn people not to do. I love the team of Arelith, I love the player base.. but I just am to the point where I've wanted to throw up for two weeks now over this Narissorin thing...

Re: Spring Attack

Nearly Two Years Later : After doing A LOT of testing in recent weeks... this may not actually be a bug. I think I figured out the problem with Spring Attack, and why it sometimes allows Attacks of Opportunity. And re-reading it's description? After a lot of testing? It may be "Working As Intended"...

Re: BUTLER UPDATE: Butler made useless by update.

Re: Sorcerer

But you're again comparing reward characters to non-reward characters. You don't get much over 50 AB (with the -4 KD roll) on equal-size-modified races. So it's closer to a +46 unless you have Improved Knockdown, which many classes don't get. (This was why Ring of The Ram was such a big balance issu...

Re: Sorcerer

Deleted Sorcerer comment: " How about as often as spell saves fail ". If Knockdown functioned off of saves, than that would matter. But it doesn't. You can fail a death save and die -- but once you're true strike immune -- you literally can't fail. And that's an engine limitation. Unless they comple...

Re: Sorcerer

It's not what I personally would have imagined, but what IS: Skill dump combined with ESF if not STR based has become a standard for optimal builds - people build for 65-70 discipline. A human melee build can get up to 52 AB and take IKD - which would put its success rate vs. 65 discipline at 7%. a...

Re: Sorcerer

Pretty sure a mage can become 75% non true strike KD immune with just 2 points more disc and the boon after the basic basin gear. Nobody — not even giants — are fully immune. What do you consider balanced? 80%? Your question is nonsensical - if I asked you what saves on a WM would you have consider...

Re: Sorcerer

KD nerfs happened with the Loremageddon. A lot has changed since then - while I'm sure these players are good, I doubt that the builds they were using back then would still work that well now. Also, if I recall correctly there had been an easily accessible discipline boon in the UD that's been chan...

I have known and had multiple non-disc chars in my own faction; and they were very successful; Xalyth was a 30 wildmage wizard who at the time could kill any weapons master in the game via melee combat. 30 Wildmage wrathful castigation and crit immunity are still useful to skilled players— Xalyth ex...

Chill, nobody back in 2017 could have predicted how optimal builds and optimal stat spreads would look like in 2023. The server's changed a lot since then and time has not been kind to legacy characters - I doubt that many of those still left would even resemble optimal builds, much less gain an un...

Re: Quarter Auction System

I think Misesny_jez has a good point. Some properties should have a much higher % bid investment. That is a good gold sink; and that way it would have less impact on average houses for the normal player.

Re: Gifts and "Out of Date Races"

To clarify. Despite their ECL, Vampires and Raka were not permitted to take a gift. This was due to the way their subrace is applied. Recently, it was made to allow this to be applied to them after the subrace was applied. Exceptions to this, I have no idea how they came to be so I won't comment on...

I’m sorry to hear that. It seems you will have to decide of your extra 2 strength from remake is worth losing access to a noble foyer, I guess.

I don’t see the big issue. You are free to rebuild your character or use -remake to remake Saslae, just like everyone else. I know of people who have given up on legacy gear to remake their character. Why can’t you do the same? Because then I can never own a Noble Foyer again, unlike a Drow made to...
