No, but epic caster bonuses will apply.

Re: Regarding absence and sudden disappearance during roleplay

Sending a tell to a player is the best method, never use any OOC in a public channel like Whisper/Talk/Shout. Good luck with the job! Remember that real life comes first!

Re: Spell components

This is more a suggestion than feedback. Please make sure to keep messages in this forum to giving feedback instead of asking for changes or new things. There are a lot of suppliers of spell components on both surface and UD, you'll need to look around a little bit! Spell components are only needed ...

This won't be disclosed.

It rolls search vs a DC for each player in the party.
Each success vs that DC increases the next persons DC to beat and adds 1 to the loot it'll generate in a chest
It now orders least skill to most to make sure that the people with least skill will still contribute fairly

tldr, you get more loot

Re: Search

This change rewards grouping up. You are not at all worse off by going through content alone, it's just that groups now have chances for more loot. You can allocate your party member roles in exactly the same way, ask someone to be the one looting. It rolls from lowest search score to most search sc...

Re: Faction leaders need better rule-compliance tools

Please just let DMs know via a PM to "Active DMs" if you suspect someone is crossing streams. That's all you need to do. If you're friends with the other player, you can also let them know that they can't have more than one character in the faction and let them choose which one they want to continue...

Re: The Onus of Stream-Crossing Prevention in Factions

The short answer is: If you're aware, then you do have responsibility in this situation. If you feel there's a problem then you can reach out to the DMs who can look into it. You could let the player know (since you likely know them OOC in the first place if you know which characters belong to the s...

Re: Sibayad should be an explicitly evil settlement

There is nothing holding players back from doing this other than their own drive, lack of imagination, or lack of interest. If you like this kind of RP and you like Sibayad, go make it happen!

Re: No PvP Zones

Make sure that you don't confuse IC rules with OOC rules. OOC rules can be found here (wiki.nwnarelith.com/rules) and must be adhered to at all times. IC rules can be broken by anyone, anytime you want, if it makes sense for your character. You need to keep in mind that there can sometimes be severe...

Re: Pirate Ink

Currently I don't see any really valid reasons to get Dread ink, reasons that would benefit a dread pirate's RP experience other than being looked down upon in settlements or not even having the chance to go there at all. Sounds more like an entirely OOC concern than whether your character would be...

Give yourself 20 minutes on the surface and suddenly, 20-30-40-50 max'd out toons you have not seen in months or years all login in at the same time and utterly crush and destroy your 4-5-6 people party in about 10

Re: Surface "Enslavement" needed

A character with a good alignment probably shouldn’t be too overly concerned with impeding the freedom of other characters in the first place. You’ve got shackles for temporary prisoners, cities and factions have cells for capture RP. You can roleplay the rest pretty easily. Mechanics to force peopl...

Re: Surface "Enslavement" needed

Anything you can do with the slavery system could just as easily be roleplayed out without mechanics. You can do that anytime on the surface! There are also shackles, Sibayad slavery, etc.

Many of the excellent suggestions also don’t need to be mechanically enforced. You are only limited by your imagination.

Re: Using Delevel to get to lower levels and play with friends

This is exploiting.

Make a new character if you want the low level experience with friends, alternatively you can -remake your character and start from scratch. A DM will be able to lower your level to a desired level if needed, but you won't be able to get the experience back afterward.
