Silent running - sounds like a nice new epic feat to me.. is it possible to implement new feats?

Thanos suggestion sounds like a good idea. I doubt that it completely solves the problem with shields being overly powerful (they really should have less boni than armor, but I'm getting a bit off topic here), but it's a step in the right direction and seems rather well-balanced. Although I have the...

Cutting the damage immunities and resistances from shields down significantly (by half?) seems a good idea to me. The whole two-handed weapons, dual wield and shield issue seems rather well balanced when shields aren't that powerful.

Where did you get that patch information? Didn't see anything on the bioware site..

Since there's no xp penalty for being pkilled, I don't see a big problem with it. Also so far I haven't seen a malicious attitude here where higher levels alk around killing newbies. The few times where I've been pkilled by high levels were by accident (area spells) and the killers were very nice an...

Actually I got it from the forum - someone mentioned that racial abilities (including spell resists) are basically item effects - and those don't stack

The max level is 40, not 20..

Yes, the spell resistance feat stacks with monk's spell resistance. It won't stack with spell resistance from items or race though.

Also, if we're adding Clang's suggstion of ensuring that there are enough levels left, why force people to take those 5 or 10 levels in a row? We could just put in a level check to make sure that they have to take them sometime. Then the monk, paladin, monk, paladin .. levelling style would be possi...

Sounds good to me, wether it be 5 levels or 10. Considering that there will be 40 levels total for only 3 classes max, 10 levels seems still reasonable. Also should put in the check Clang suggested. Making it a requirement for all classes seems unreasonable to me, most classes don't get huge boni on...

From what I hear the Devs are planning on increasing the stats directly by editing the database entries, but that's something for the future, not one of the main concerns right now.

Hmm.. sounds good, if we can prevent an exploit such as a people raising and killing them over and over again for drops and/or xp..

I didn't really see the spell gaining exploit as the main problem with level loss, but simply the frustration of losing a level just to having to gain it again (and levelling up is a pain in the .. apart from the xp gaining problem). At least as a low level drow it's very hard to gain any xp in the ...

I wouldn't go with complete immunity to either melee or magic, but a high resistance would make sense, 75% or something. Sounds good to me.. party party party.. I can almost imagine a big battle where half of the mobs are magic resistant and the other half physical resistant - so you need a well-ba...

I have the same impression as far as economy is concerned: Too much good gear is dropped. I stopped looting anything long ago after some friendly players just gave me 100k gold each. So now I also just give away gold whenever someone needs any, since I have more than I can possibly spend at my level...
