Harper Scout Ideas

Post by **LinuxPup** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 5:52 pm

I've never built a Harper Scout on NS4, so I'm not aware of any possible modifications that have already been done (if any)... if anyone who has would like to update the wiki with any ns4 custom changes to HS, that would be cool...

That said, I have some proposals to make the HS class more attractive...

Deneir's Eye - HS level 2 feat. When character achieves HS level 2, they get a token of real (bioware) true seeing 1x a day, and/or a permanent +20 to spot.

1. Sleep - HS level 2 feat. DC scales with character level. Again, I'm not sure if this has already been implemented or not... Something like... 10 + (half character level) + charisma modifier + 1d10. Save is will of course.

2. Tymora's Smile - HS level 3 feat. Normally it gives +2 to all saves for 5 turns. How about, it improves to +1 per 5 character levels for 1 turn/character level.

3. Cat's Grace and Eagle's Splender become empowered.

4. Lliira's Heart - HS Level 4. Normally +2 vs. mind affecting effects. I suggest either giving permament immunity to fear, or +4 to will.

5. At HS level 5, the HS gets a passive 20% increase in movement rate and immunity to movement rate decrease. This would make sense given they're a scout.

Was also thinking... since the Harper's seem to be savvy on gathering knowledge, secrets, and lore, perhaps they could use this knowledge when fighting enemies. So for example... +1 AB, +1 dodge AC, and +1 dmg per 10 base ranks of Lore.

Actually Cat and Eagle are already quite good. You can cast them on top of the usual cat or eagle (coming from bard, mage or cleric).

I like the lore idea. About the others. I guess they aren't really feasible. Most things are hard coded.

Also, it'd be cool if Harper Scouts could craft more potions (with their Craft Harper Item feat)... like Lesser Spell Mantle pots.

The way I understood it, and I could be wrong, is that automatic feats are difficult or impossible to change without a pak (like Death Attack), but some of the HS abilities are on-use.... like Tymora's Smile...

From th wiki: "Tymora's Smile gives an additional +2 saving throw bonus for every 3 levels of Champion of Torm beyond level 3"

Since cot and hs can not be taken at the same time, maybe change it to pally lvls (that seems like the closes)

I think the CoT thing is a bug
