I never thought of buying 100 crit attacks and 3 profs. I think it's a build worth playtesting and I wonder how much damage that fighter can dish out. Would they use some crit attacks to power items? Would they land 500 normal hits during their 100 minutes of power? When I think of a normal...

I didn't see that 1-3 thing. These new rules are not simple enough!

So I tried to build a damage oriented fighter, which may be worth comparing to the 356 build celestial scholar I posted above: OHE, shield Blacksmith 1 Prof 8 crit attack 20 improved slay 8 slay 12 parry 10 riposte 6 396 build. I didn't spend forever crunching the numbers, but it's worth...

Right now, fighters, rogues, and celestial scholars can spend all their build on combat skills. Level 25, level 50, level 75 makes no difference - you can keep buying skills to increase your damage. With the new rules, fighters and rogues will eventually find it difficult to continue building a...

I'm happy to talk about roles besides DPS. However, it is with DPS that I feel we'll see the biggest changes. I guess healers will still be healers. Thinking out loud, with the current rules a rogue or a fighter or a celestial scholar could be great DPS. With the new rules I'm not sure if rogues...

I don't think we'll see WoW style tanks, but I think the new rules will push more fighters into tanky builds. I suppose it would be cool if someone built a DPS fighter and a tankier fighter for Matt in the character build thread. Right now fighters can be awesome DPS but under the new rules I'm...

I don't want to limit the conversation by saying we can only talk about tanks, healers and DPS. So I hope people contribute different ideas for combat roles. However, since the rules are all about combat, I guess we should stick to combat roles and not worry about stuff like "party face" and...

Good question - the second one, what playtesters think are the likely roles for each class.

So regarding wand damage, if we eliminate damage from formals (up to +3 currently) and greater wands (also up to +3 currently) in the new rules, that does bring down celestial caster damage to be more in line what a similar level fighter might swing. Personally, I like getting rid of greater...

I wanted to split this conversation off from the character build thread so that Matt's thread can stay focused on the original topic:

Thanks again for the comments. To me, though, these two comments are conflicting: Thorgrim seems to be saying that the new rules should improve the following performance gaps: NPCs get confused by their stats. New players can't challenge many NPCs. However, Draven seems to be saying that...

I have a celestial scholar in the mid 30s. The difference in build spending with the new rules would be making room for meditate. Everything else would stay the same. Read and write = 3 Read magic = 4 12 block = 300 formal 15 = 45 meditate =4 To me, this character is much more powerful with...

Thanks for the replies so far. So far I see three performance opportunities in the comments: 1. Casters aren't having enough fun because they are afraid to throw spells in some situations. 2. BBG fights aren't enough fun because BBGs get swarmed. 3. Low level players don't have enough fun in...

When I playtested the new rules, I was unclear on some of the reasoning behind the changes. Sometimes I could figure it out. For example, "The intent was to streamline the system by reducing effects which were very similar to other effects without losing the flavor of the system long-term...

Someone in in PNW needs to start a little tour company. Rides to the two end of January events and a little floor space for the week days in between would be an attractive little tour package.

I've never seen a sneaky NPC necromancer. A lot of time the NPC necromancer is just a BBG that PCs kill and search. I've never even seen an NPC necromancer put on trial - I guess there has never been any question about guilt. PC necromancers sometimes get a trial but I have also seen them...

Are you and the furbabies ok?

I had been playing for 2-3 years when I was getting a component identified. Permanence primary. Someone else on my team happened to be hanging around the guild and asked if I knew I had to give it to the team. "I didn't know that." A big argument ensues between the team leaders and my friend...
