Re: Award cycling races: Giants

I think there are some fantastic half-giant characters and the players behind them are excellent writers. That said, half-giants were the most problematic add in terms of race solely because at their core they're decoupled from the setting and players have to navigate their existence bereft of any e...

We've added so many new races to this game that we should consider reuniting with amia.

Re: Availability of Special Appearances

Arelith isn't (and maybe never was) a setting where the weird and outlandish is seen with superstition and awe. The average peasant doesn't care about seeing wings or a tail or a 9 foot tall half giant, because this is a pretty frequent occurrence. Planar beings aren't weird. Dragon aren't abnormal...

Re: The Lionesse and the Rose

Kathryn projected gravitas. Your mastery in fixture descriptions would paint a compelling scene, and you'd carry it through with stellar roleplay. I'm grateful for our brief time roleplay together. I'm glad Kathryn's story ended in as epic a fashion as it began.

I have played it and I have seen it outperform, you clearly are looking the class from the player perspective and defending it because you happen to play one.

You must be new here. Astral wouldn't do that. Don't mud-sling cause you happen to disagree.

This is something that I am reviewing. I have a small list of affected characters that people provided so I am attempting to determine the root cause.

Re: Thinking out loud to UD and surface relations

What action are you hoping to accomplish in your claim? Circularly repeating your same stance that relationships between UD & surface are binary because they're required to be hostile is first wrong and second reductive. And, since you're eager to post in this thread countless times to hammer your p...

Re: Can DMs replace missing items?

I’ve got an answer but it isn’t gonna be satisfying. Arelith doesn’t replace missing, lost items. However, you can always send a report in to see if some weird bug ate your item or if an accident happened and it was left on the crafting bench. Sorry to bear the bad news.

You might think I'm just being pessimistic, but that's simply how the server appears, and appears to be functioning from my years of being here. It's not getting better, it's getting worse as time goes on too.

You’ve made this point already. Let’s move on to how we can foster and create nuance.

Re: Thinking out loud to UD and surface relations

To steer this away from druid-centrism (neutrality is evil!), I'd be curious what sort of stories players are interested in that involve that surface-UD dynamic. The underdark is very self-sufficient in creating its own roleplay, and the surface vice versa so it takes intentional action for there to...

The only time we actually have any issues is when someone decides "I am losing an election?

It seems like this whole thing was a corrective action to halt or at least disincentize the paladin police state from exiling/killing warlocks at early levels. Sad that it had to come to that.

Re: Triday, trine, tricycles.

Arelithisms run rampant. You're not insane, dreams. I wince whenever people use bags as some sort of accepted colloquialism. Triday is just lazy writing in all honesty.
