APM : Mechanical Questions

Post by Rotku »

Alara or Rusty or anyone else who might know:

What are the status of these NWN2 classes in ALFA?

Favored soul
Spirit shaman
Warlock

Arcane Scholar of Candlekeep
Arcane archer
Arcane trickster
Assassin
Blackguard
Divine champion
Duelist
Dwarven defender
Eldritch knight
Frenzied berserker
Harper agent
Invisible blade
Neverwinter Nine (class)
Pale master
Red Wizard of Thay
Red dragon disciple
Sacred fist
Shadow Thief of Amn (class)
Shadowdancer
Stormlord
Warpriest
Weapon master

Do we still have the same system for gaining PrCs as NWN1?

We had discussions, but not decisions, on a lot of them.

I've been talking about that problem to BB and Rusty, and I think we'll compile a list of red, yellow and green lights for them.

Some are just in need of balancing, where I'd personally like some cooperation and input from the TA and PA (so far the NWN 2 boards and Standards boards have been the only places of discussion), others may be scrapped outright (RDD jumps to the fore).

I'm not aware of any new provisions to the PrC system, though we will have to design PrC requirements for the new PrCs that will get into the game, so I think it's fair to assume they're on yellow until then ;).

Would you folk like my assistance with this? Perhaps a plan/proposal to kick the dialogue off and make it easier to get to a good decision quickly?

This seems pretty critical to sort out before live..

My credentials are-:
* I've been an ALFA EADM for more than 12 months before and have run PrC quests for 3 PCs
* I've been playing D&D for 19 years
* I ran my own consulting business where I wrote tonnes of proposals
* I've been a manager of large consensus based groups of managers for many years and I believe I can help facilitate fast, efficient decision making without creating groupthink.

Changed the thread name, to save me making hundreds of threads each time I had a question. Three more quick questions for now:

Spell Changes. Any? Where would I find the list?

Skill Changes. Any? Where would I find the list?

Feat Changes. Any? Where would I find the list?

Animal Companions. Have we made any changes at this point, from the standard NWN2 system?

Domains. I remember there been a list of (ALFA) gods and their domains/alignment somewhere. Anyone know where this would be?

FFS, if it's shipped with the game just let it be used. Instead of limiting what PCs can do, shouldn't we be... oh I don't know... adding?

Okay, found the feat changes.

Is this them all?

Sorry, can't post in that thread - no access.

Rotku, feat discussion is here for the standards part:

omg some nerds debating

And here for the final wrap-ups cross-department wise:

zomg them nerds bringing their nerdity to talk with even more nerds

As you can see, it's almost finalised - whee!


Here is the ongoing skill discussion:

will those nerds stop at nothing..1.!1

Hopefully, we'll solve it with the techies over the next few days still.

We have not yet adopted any ALFA spell changes, as the community and Obsidian has done a good game of catching up. We may do so at a later point, for now, it is unproblematic.

I'm not aware of Animal Companion or cleric Domain pushes, for the FR pantheon and their domains I guess some googling around might help, I found this http://realmshelps.dandello.net/dieties/index.shtml , which doesn't have a nice overview table but offers the info - I'm sure with some more poking, you'll find a good ressource.

Hope that helped some, cheers and thanks for your documenting efforts!
