Re: Summon Adjustments

Why don't we allow summons to be more tanky again and greatly reduce the amount of damage they're doing? They can still get the job done, but at a much slower pace, forcing the caster to play a more active role in PvE.

Re: Arcane caster balance feedback- wizard cope 2 electric boogaloo

I'd like to see Sorc bloodlines that'd be implemented the same way Warlock pacts are: bonus feats don't risk breaking anything here (Sorc is a feat starved class). curated subsets of infinicast spells help casters perform outside their limited spellbook and give lot of cool options for character cu...

Re: Sibayad should be an explicitly evil settlement

I love the thought of another evil settlement, I like Sibayad but it feels lackluster, it could use a facelift. The issue I expect with openly evil places is when things are allowed to go unchecked, then when you have some players that take it way over the top and get the attention of every good-hea...

Re: Arcane caster balance feedback- wizard cope 2 electric boogaloo

It's sort of a tricky topic, wizards are probably the most technical of classes to play, both in PvP and in RP. But in combat, they are the definition of glass canons, they can unleash incredible destructive power, and can turn people to stone, to sheep, but if someone manages to close the distance ...

Re: Summon Adjustments

To me, it's making more mechanical sense to build a Constitution-based or a Dexterity-based Wizard than one that's heavy into Intelligence. You guys really need to fix that, DC spells are a joke when everyone is walking around with saves in the mid to high 30s. I have no issue with you guys nerfing ...

Re: Arcane caster balance feedback- wizard cope 2 electric boogaloo

Why don't we limit the bonus to saves vs spells from spellcraft to characters with the majority of their levels in a class that gets spellcraft? No more crossclassing spellcraft for +3-4 saves vs spells, what sense does it make for a 30 Fighter or a Paladin to have 20 Spellcraft? Then you can give S...

Re: Arcane caster balance feedback- wizard cope 2 electric boogaloo

Elementalists already get a language based on their path, I'd love to see Dimension Door get added, and then add it to the Arcane Flux list so wizards can portal about the battlefield. To me, the biggest problem with arcane casters is that it's not uncommon for most players, casters or otherwise, to...

Re: Summon Buff Changes

It's just more chores, once you actually manage to get to a level where you can make them. You're taking away options and slapping them with a need to rely on the crafting system, which just makes playing those classes tedious. It was bad enough with Spell Components, people like options but they ne...

Re: Greatswords - the worse 2 handed weapon

Yea, it sounds more like an argument against 18-20 crit range, which I tend to agree. What real benefit is there to take a longsword over a scimitar? But, yea, this deserves its own thread.

Re: Another update, another character sacrificed

I play evil personally because I find it's a lot easier to focus on that selfish personality. The kind of ambitious character where you'll do what you need to to achieve a goal.
