Downloader Broken?

Just tried to log in and the downloader comes up with only a question mark and does nothing? Is there work going on or did something break?

Re: Mundane is playing on Hard Mode?

On the money topic, there are a few areas in the game that you can make 30-50k gp soloing on a mundane character. I've done it on a Fighter Earthkin Defender build on a single run through (not doing a loop, but there, to the end and back out). This helps with equipment to raise AC and AB and for the...

Minotaur Options

I know the bonuses, and the +3 ECL. But what is optimal class for Minotaur? Obviously Fighter or Barbarian would be a good fit, maybe with WM or some other Prestige class, but is there a class they excel at? I have a Greater reward and want to build something to play when my main character has nothi...

Hexblade

So I built a Hexblade on the PGCC server and I was underwhelmed. What is the preferred build for a Hexblade? STR build without heavy armor proficiency seemed to have a meh AC. Spell list topping out at level 4 was also rather meh. And the number of spells available at level thirty (full Hex) with an...

Re: Mundane is playing on Hard Mode?

If you are looking for a pure class build to 30 then Ranger is the way to go. Dex Ranger trades damage for AC, Str Ranger favors damage over AC. Either way, your damage output is increased by your Animal Companion if you -guard them. Heal skill is a must. Str Ranger will put out nearly as much damag...

Re: Warlock Pirate.

In general, warlock pirates would focus on their sailing ability as well as teamwork abilities, at a cost of their solo potential or PVP strength.["

Are the summons no strong enough to use as a solo PVE?

Edit: Sorry, don't know how to do a proper quote.

Warlock Pirate.

At some point I had made an LE Warlock Pirate of Sencliff. I did not really play him. I know I can relevel him in game, but I have no idea the skills I will need to play him effectively (or what skills I've taken. I've not checked.) So, without going into build ideas and multiclassing here, what ski...

Re: Greater and Major Awards Options

Expand that, too to Animal Companions, but only if the Familiar/AC scales in level along side the character. And I'd say limit scaling to the original class. An interesting idea could be the option to treat all skills as class skills for a greater/ major award. Again, limited only to the original cl...

Re: Does Arelith needs more ships??

I know there are rentable ships, but I think they could be expanded. Rather than a single point to rent one ship, that point can offer a ship to anyone with the funds to rent one. Also, I don't know how the rentable ships work, but Sail skill should not be required to rent one and head out. The NPC ...

I large areas if they are densely populated with enemies. For instance the caves going down to the Jarl. This can be a fun adventure.

Re: Summoner (non-undead)

I'd say Ranger can be a solid class as far as summoning goes. Call your Animal Companion, add awaken (in game items can gain this for you), add the sequencer of your choosing. Don't forget to use empathy on animals in the area and you end up with three animals to fight at your side. Two of which can...

I'm inclined not to withdraw it. I made it clear that this is what three class characters are to me. Agreement or not was neither asked for nor required. If you see it differently, I have no problem with this. Everyone plays this game differently.

Re: Are two handed melee weapons worth it?

I'll have to check with a bastard sword sometime, but I currently play a one-hand edged focused dwarf with a dwarven waraxe. I can put the shield away and two hand that without losing (or gaining) AB but I gain much more on damage (especially criticals). I have AC on demand (at a cost of damage) whe...

I think, if you've built your character as an antagonist, you should offer an "out" for characters/players that really aren't into or built for PVP.

Pure Swashbuckler Build

I've seen a couple builds that add fighter/WM to the mix, but nothing for a pure build. Swashbuckler seems to lend itself well for a DEX build with the appropriate amount of INT. It also seems very good as a STR build. AC considered, DEX is the way to go, but damage considered, STR has the advantage...
