People misunderstand what a familiar is and how NWN displays it vs how it is in PnP: https://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/sorcererWizard.htm#familiars Have a read there! Familiars generally shouldn't be talking unless the type of creature is capable of speech. That's the general rule of thumb, someti...

Obviously there's some in here that seem sort of like traps, like the ESF for Evocation/Necromancy and the Golem secrets. Tutor is a nice addition for RP but I personally feel like it'd fit better as a capstone for 5 levels of LM. I wish we'd retire this term "trap" because people use it way too lo...

This doesn't really negate my point though that the forums have essentially become second class to the discord. Why submit bug reports here if they're going to hang for a year for example? That's not different than just being forgotten on the discord and the discord would have taken less time to su...

I have a character who has been cursed for RL months. Every time I log in the curse instantly renews. I tried remove, all the restores, the pray command, even dying and respawning hasn't fixed it. If that is the intended behavior I think at the very least death ought to remove a curse, or the means ...

Spriggan Bride

I tested it a little and I have to agree the restrictions are too confining. There are a lot of colors that should be acceptable that aren’t. I also wonder about cases like wanting to play unusual but legal characters like, for example, a gnome pale master with skin that’s more pale and grey than no...

Spriggan Bride

I know I could probably make a character to test this but asking anyway. Is the bard-only guild open to anyone with 3 bard levels or is there a higher requirement? What about a dirgesinger without bard levels?

Spriggan Bride

I wish eschew components was an epic feat wizards and sorcs could take if they wished. I have the feeling most wouldn't because it's pure QoL and they'd rather have another epic spell focus or offensive feat anyway but still nice to have the option.

Spriggan Bride

Could be wrong but I think there is some code in place to mask death attacks in some form. Would have to be tested from more than your own point of view. I had asked other players in tells if they could see it and they confirmed it said death attack, not sneak attack. This is 2020 or 2021 though I ...

Most other charisma classes now limit divine might and shield synergy. Maybe if sorcerer did too there could be ways to give it more flavor.

Assassin's death attack shows as that in the combat log, and popup text. If you're trying to conceal that you are an assassin, it's pretty much impossible if you ever want to group. This is the only one I can directly speak on, but having Rogue levels, or anything with sneak attack, it shows up as ...

One problem is there’s a huge difference between someone who’s well connected IC and on Discord who can access raw materials for crafting easily and someone who’s independent whether that means they’re a newer player or playing someone who can’t fall into a big trade guild. The former can stock grea...

SOTH is bragging rights if you want to always be the best bard in the group. You're the one who will always get to sing if there are multiple bards. Maybe that matters more to some people than PVP, it might to me depending on the character (stuck up artist over battle bard) I have the feeling you ca...

] This would be an issue if such things as characters being banned from settlements based on their last name did not happen on the island of Arelith. Not for actions they took, but their family name and told disown your family or you cannot RP in most of the settlement cities. Same people are suppo...

Spriggan Bride

. Always gonna be chancers/scoundrels, and I'm not at all surprised by a 34% figure in this case. The settlement in question has a relatively small "natural" voting base and the "stakes" in this case were pretty high/historical. Not just that but there has rarely been an election there where the wi...

Spriggan Bride

That just doesn't line up with the experience I have in game. Politics is just one small part of Arelith to me and it's sometimes interesting and sometimes not. I'm probably not going to take the charge to "rally votes" if I don't fit in somewhere as much as shift my focus into some aspect that is c...

Spriggan Bride

DMs were saying earlier in this thread you're expected to be active in the settlement. I don't agree that should be a clause since you could be a citizen, and care about that settlement, but run into a brick wall when you're trying to be involved there in the current regime so you spend your time el...

Spriggan Bride

Saying you have to be politically active in a settlement to vote doesn't acknowledge how easy it is to be frozen out of a settlements politics or simply not see a way to get involved yourself. I would hope that if an active character is inspired by the change an election would bring they would be al...

Spriggan Bride

By this virtue alone any attempts to open it up again creates a play area that is outside the city but is still trying to influence it via votes as it will ultimately impact them. As such it is unwise to restore Westcliff, it would have to be a seperate township with elections again to warrant a sp...

Spriggan Bride

I always found smaller communities much more welcoming on Arelith. Cordor and Guld and even Anundor are very difficult for me to get involved with. Granted I am naturally shy and don’t play prime time hours but the communities there are so large, and with so many strong personalities that nobody giv...

Spriggan Bride

I wish the existing settlements were a lot seedier. At least parts of them. The surface seems like a gentrified neighborhood. It's too clean and nice and tame in general. Why couldn't lower Cordor or the Guldorand docks be a place you just don't go alone, especially at night? Maybe the crops could f...

Spriggan Bride

Maybe because Guldorand isn't pro slavery to the point of having a slave master? I mean, it wouldn't have to be in Guldorand city limits. Could add a small Underdark area to the server... Maybe a little port with a slave caller and a few amenities... And as an added bonus connect it to the Deep Wel...

Additional starting area(s) with level 1-20 quests. The Brog additions were very welcome and we could use some more of that in general, I mean a lot of these low level writ areas haven't changed since the mid 2000s. The biggest thing keeping me from making new characters any more is how little I can...

5e D&D lets players start with a wild range of races and the most relevant current D&D property is Baldurs Gate 3 which lets you be a Githyanki or Tiefling or Dragonborn. I don’t think 3e D&D is even a frame of reference newer players are going to be familiar with (and even with it, a good drow is p...

Spriggan Bride

The level 16 start is a blessing for casual or limited time players like me. I know people are getting to 30 in a month but it takes me at least month to get to level 16 with my play time and it's very nice to be able to just enter the game with a character who is strong enough to join in existing a...
