Path NPCs

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.

Path NPCs

Post by RedGiant »

Simple suggestion. For some paths, these already exist. For those that don't; provide an NPC which allows you to take a path on an existing character. It would be additionally great if for some of these the path NPC would be duplicated in the underdark. (ie. a Sniper path NPC outside Myon and Andunor?)

I think this opens up roleplaying possibilities. "You want to really learn how to use a bow? Ah, well you best see the old elf out by Minmir." It also allows you to grow a character mid-stream if the roleplay takes them in that direction.

I've considered this since implementing the concept of paths, but I'm not sure I want to see too many paths combined. So it may happen, but it's not on my list for the short term.
