A Land Far Away

Class vs class balance with CvC 'fairness' as the primary basis for policy seems nonsensical, unless you want to play in an arena style server. In a fight to the death at lvl 1 a wizard will die to a barbarian 9 times out of 10; no one calls for a 'fix' to the wizard or to gimp the barbarian becaus...

That's a good deal, Dergon. As your attorney, I advise you to take it.

I have a 1 Gb Nvidia 9800, an AMD quadcore and 8 gigs of ram. I have a 20mbps dl speed, around 3mbps ul. There are much better PCs out there, but I can run new games at max settings most of the time. And I lag like CRAZY....on ALFA servers. Not on other nwn2 servers. If I can run Bad Company 2 multi...

MS is now showing up in the server list once again, but is not responding.

"Connection error: Server is not responding (timed out)."

I'm IG, so ready whenever everyone else is.

Interesting question. Idk about "common knowledge", but a low DC Knowledge (religion) check would reveal that the deities are allies. A friendly relationship between deities doesn't necessarily equate to a friendly relationsjhip between clergy, however. To the more specific issue of the re...

Tiax rules all! You are but grease stains on the wheel of time compared to Tiax!

A minor earthquake off the coast of Amn disrupts Spellhold on the island of Brynnlaw. Several of the deviant magic-users inside manage to escape, vowing vengeance on the nation that imprisoned them.

...and flee to the Moonshae Isles.

What? It could happen. A man can dream, can't he?

Intelligent vermin do exist in DnD. And they keep their mind-influencing effects immunity. Its just a trait that vermin get for their type, same way as Outsiders don't need to eat, drink or sleep. While there may be intelligent vermin that are immune to mind-affecting spells because of traits other...

I concur with Zelk's point. The special qualities of those forms in addition to spellcasting would make polymorph significantly more powerful than its PnP incarnation, and IMO more powerful than it should be. SR 26 as a 4th lvl spell with no drawback is broken. Fixing both would be desirable, but we...

I didn't mean to raise the issue of the worth of static content. My point was that the scale is so small. We're talking about fixing a major class feature possessed by two of the core classes for the same amount of server load that just 2-3 NPCs create. If it created such a burden that we would be f...

I'd have thought a global class change, applicable across all servers in all combat situations would outweigh any little static in any cost benefit analysis? I would think so. When put in the context of being weighed against a single static or a couple of NPCs, the cost seems pretty negligible. See...

This thread is confusing. So, we're saying that existing effects that grant concealment do NOT prevent SA. Implementing OM in a manner that restricts SA would be inconsistent with existing effects. Implementing OM in a manner that does not restrict SA would effectively enhance rogues. We want to enh...

I disagree in the strongest possible terms about Abjurant Champion. I know I raise balance concerns about a lot of things, but AC is in an entirely different class of broken. I don't even know where to start. A fight5/wiz1/AC5 can do obscene things. Such as casting a shield spell which occupies a 1s...
