A Land Far Away

Since Alfa is about making things as close to pnp as possible what about granting every pc disarm for free at level one since that is pnp, i duno about adding the return attempt if you fail because I'm not a coder.

Anyone know if trip and charge/bull rush/overun/trample will be in NWN2?
With mounts there should be many of these....


Or if there is a published feats list?

Interesting idea, but my qualm with Disarm is that it's a major hack. The D&D version is quite a bit different than the Bioware version. IIRC the two main differences are:

1. D&D penalizes the disarmer by allowing the defender a free disarm against the disarmer on failed attempts. NWN pits AB against skill and uses "discipline" to resist attempts.

2. D&D does not allow two standard actions - attack OR disarm but not both. Bioware blends the two into one action - disarm is also an attack that deals damage. Unless I'm mistaken, Knockdown works the same way (or perhaps it was KD and not Disarm that did this).

On a similar note though, I'd actually like to see the game extended beyond what it ships with. There is just a mountain of material out there from skills to feats, from PrCs to professions, from races to creatures that we can leverage. Since the release of D&D 3rd edition, scores of books, web enhancements, and supplements have been published. Over that same time period, NWN has evolved a mere fraction in comparison. Much of that is due to the constraints of the game engine, but some of it is a result of inertia.

Also on a related note, I'd like to see some of the Non-PNP skills stripped out, and replaced with the mechanics from PNP - especially the use of Discipline, Parry and Concentration to resist Taunt.

This is where the community can get together to make the best of what we have.

The drawback. Lack of organization.
