For some reason I had it stuck in my head that an SR check was D20 + spell lvl + penetration vs the SR #. If that was the case a 30 SR wouldn't be too bad. I decided to figure out why it seems that alot of low level spells were breaking my 22 SR so I went back and double checked. Whoops, guess that ...

Its not so much a question of what the class is intended to be by the developers, but a question of whether you can make it a viable option for use (as opposed to a marketting bullet as you put it.). How bad would it be to make a small hak file for class modifications anyway? Its obvious the issue h...

How bout some modifications to the harper scout class? Since it was brought up altering RDD specials by dragon type I'm sure you could come up with some boosts for this under played PrC. I'm thinking that this could be a possible class combination between a ranger and a monk (ie some movement speed/...

If the PM bonus is deflection for its class feature it won't stack with the Svirf. Yes that's right, Svirf bonus is.. deflection (for pete's sake).

This needs to be changed to reflect properly for the race as dodge bonus.

This probably fall more under the suggestion category but I feel it applies to this topic. I have played on another server using subraces that runs a script to actually modify the character file on creation. You create your character as normal with your subrace in mind, log in, talk to an NPC which ...

Svirf's spell resistance is capped? At what?

Documentation says 10 +4 every 4 levels but doesn't say anything about a cap.

*Edit* found it in the tracker, looks like it caps at Epic (30 SR)*Edit*

How kind of you to include me in the post for this incident, where I come from slander is against the law.. since I had nothing to do with the actual event itself and my name does NOT appear in your screen shot. I only stepped in so far as to point out how absolutely full of ___ you are and how your...

I personally don't even care so much that an ECL needs to apply to a sub race.. it does in PnP D&D and I would expect the same here. But some balancing would be nice in favor of making these subraces worth looking over. I'm mostly irked at the inability to stick with a party for all intents and purp...

You're right, most cases sub-race abilities don't even come close to making up for lack of class levels with special abilities. Take a half-ogre for example: +4 Strength, +2 Constitution, -2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence, -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma +4 Taunt, -2 Discipline, -2 Persuade +2 to all Fortitude s...

Sub-Races and Synergy

Well, I'll just start off by asking.. why? Why bother having sub races in this module under the synergy xp system. It flat out does not work. Every Sub-Race that takes a hit with an ECL, also take a massive hit to xp in a party. ECL seems to apply every negative to party experience possible from bei...

I don't particularly care for the idea of using summons as the sole method for leveling to start. I do believe that the high level and epic summons are the ones that should count for something. These are feats not spells or class perks. You don't take Dragon Knight to go out and kill ogres at level ...

Summons: Suggestions, problems.

First off I'm going to start by saying, nerfing them is not a bad idea, but more testing and input is needed to make them worth using. I'm not too impressed that in the last 8 hours no one has said "boo" about these changes on the forums (one exception but specific to a couple problems), but the sho...

I can't be bothered to pick out quotes here but its self explainatory.. My whole reason in bringing this point up to begin with was erred in the sense that it appeared to me that weird had been altered by the server devs with all of the other un mentioned changes. The spell was balanced fine before ...

I stand corrected. I believed I had checked the spell description and double checked the spell effects. Odd that the wording was altered the way it is. My resource is outdated from where I chose to use the spell from initially: http://www.gamebanshee.com/neverwinternights/spells/sorcererwizardleveln...
