We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Conjuration

Post by Cihparg »

Since we're already allowing Necromancers to cast two undead to their side; what about Conjurers?
Conjurers have been left with only more powerful summons - Which I believe, Necromancers also get.
So, in which case, would it not be fair to allow Conjurers keep not one, but two summons, as do Necromancers?

Yes, I understand that Necromancers raise undead, where Conjurers summon from other planes.
But I don't exactly see that as a restrictive factor. At most, a Necromancer can keep three summons alongside itself.

Which, in itself, brings us to the next issue: Necromancers that are epic on both Necromancy and Conjuration, would be able to control not three, but FOUR minions.
To fix this, a Necromancer would have the option to change either of the "Hireling" rank summons, to either Undead or Planar.

This alone leaves Necromancers at an advantage, they'd still have Three summons versus Two of the Conjurer's.

Beep boop.

Necromancy stopped boosting summons a while back - it just gives you more of them.

I have no intention of making conjurers swarm things. That's a necromancy theme.
