Re: Mechanics, FOIG, and Lanterns

Look, I'm not asking for a guided tour. I'm not saying there shouldn't be cool secrets. I'm saying that something I've been given automatically as a class feature shouldn't be one of them. You haven't it's an RP tool added to a feat anyone taking that feat gets to use it if they want to, hell even ...

Re: Mechanics, FOIG, and Lanterns

The point he is making is you can beat the "covered" system with enough skill. So it is WYSIWYG. Also covered doesn't hide race. No but the command -disguise _race does change the race shown. My drow can use disguise race to say sun elf, moon elf, wild elf, even aquatic elf. So while the ears are c...

Re: Metagaming

Best way to handle this is to make your character sheet name your public legal name. For renting boat this seems like an unfortunate 'not main focus of the feature' situation. But for normal property owning, the idea is your publicly known name should be your character name. Then you use disguises ...

That sort of hand waving has led to people telling my fully covered elf's that their ears were showing when a hood is worn, and the ears were not in fact showing.

Re: Adventure XP - pool size

1) Most of my characters tend to have 40k+ banked. The exception being pirates who quit adventure writs. 2) I mostly do the freelance. It is lower XP up front, but I count on the writ XP for just RPing. So my story is about hanging with friends, weaving a story with others rather than killing everyt...

Re: Mechanics, FOIG, and Lanterns

Not that they should have to, my character should have a minimum amount of information about what these auras are from the get-go, otherwise there's no good reason why I should be able to distinctly tell them apart for what they are. If I don't know what an aura is or means, how do I know it's a wa...

Elemental DI is a bit of a weird choice. If you are choosing Fire stance to protect yourself from Fire, all the fire-type mobs you are presumably fighting are likewise going to be ignoring your fire damage in turn. It would need to be fairly sizable percent to really factor into any decision-making...

Re: HARBINGER FEEDBACK

I believe the change to the black blade was a little to harsh. If the duration is to be changed for two turns then could the time to cast it be changed for two minutes? Or perhaps it remains out for six turns with a time of four minutes. This would allow time for the epic ability to be available. Wi...

Thank you for taking time to quickly fix the issues and keeping my Hexblade from being deleted (and I suppose the other ones too :lol: ). Seriously it sucks dropping everything when it is a paid job and you do this because you like the game.

Re: Feylocks No Longer Have A Damage Spell

All these warlock options have eldrich blast. That’s the main mechanical theme of the class. The other options are good for flavour.
