and it's easy to find use for a build with intimidate
If by "easy" you mean "pure barbarian ONLY", then yes. It's "easy". For every other type of build on the server, it's useless.

Taunt is a similar mid-level skill. It's only useful if you build for it, whereas disc/spot/hide can be make-or-break skills for entire groups of builds (for instance, */SD).

Useful skills: Hide/MS/Disc. Rest tend to be capped / be forced contests / not matter whatsoever.

My first toon here pumped Appraise as that skill was used on the server i'd just left to significantly increase the value of goods sold to vendors. Not happy when I found it wasn't used.

Don't dismiss the idea that a DM might find a mini-event with a reward for broken books. It has happened before and I am pretty sure it will happen again.

50-100 broken books for a +1 stat book. It wont devalue books currently in circulation or ones previously used but will offer an adequate and sought after reward. The coding would be as simple as changing the value of current book code. Leave the xp cost the same as a +2 book.

People wont be churning out super characters but it would offer builders options and flexibility to test new builds and new players to easily work toward creating competitive toons.

50 -100 broken books for a +1 to save tome (will, reflex, or fort)

Hmmm i think Elda's on to something here.
How about a Avendell Job token available for all factions. Giving level 10+ something to do other then grind ogre/giants.
I assume after MnM finishs AO jobs (soon by the sounds of it) he'll be an expert.

Playing other NWN servers and MMO's it is pretty apparant that people love Quests. A +1 save (one time only) for each save is a great reason to quest. It should be alot more challenging then our faction jobs. Perhaps make each quest available at 20,30 then 40 for each +1 save quest.

Champions Quest
Level 20
Collect boss heads (Jinn,Jugoo,FrostGiantbosses,Sunkenbosses,UnkownEvil,Mezzoboss,GnollChief,BanditKing,Demonlord,Gustav)
Level 30 (Zonbosses,Skara,inc Acolyte,IOD bosses,Terra,firelord,Mistress,Sealord,Shadowlord,Tigerboss,Rags,HoK)
Level 40 (Whitelord,Blacklord,HOD,DWP,DE,ELY,AByss,Celestia)

Not only would it allow new players to explore the server besides the main leveling areas, It'd allow old players to make there toons test thier mettle against all the bosses and get traffic in areas that are collecting dust for the most part

just an idea. New content creates more player traffic.

I really like Alka's suggestion. It's not a huge change but it really does give us min maxers something to do.
I have always imagined that when shamed prepares for relic events, he grabs his bull horn, he finds his Napoleon hat, and he settles in for a weekend of barking orders and generally pissing off everyone in the tc/nc coalition. - Burrahobbit

Good idea.

Will bring it to DM forums for further discussion.

I like the idea, i'd just be wary about giving save bonuses simply because its already pretty easy to build things that can never fail a spell save dc in pvp.

Save totals are no longer saved to character sheet (base is calculated on login). There's fort/reflex/will save bonus fields, I don't remember where they're used (used to just be able to change them and it'd work, but don't think that's the case anymore).
