I'm all for this one, for all the reasons mentioned by Durnic. If someone wants to use a giant shield, let them! They might find that it's the best experience they've ever had at a game. And then you disarm/shatter/pepper it with spells. But hey, they'll get an awesome story out of it. There's...

I completely disagree. The simplest solution is what San Francisco chapter (and Seattle? Not sure) have already been doing. A brief localized pause that doesn't effect other sections of the combat so you can simply respond. "Ok hang on hang on .. parry parry reposte (reposte! ok parry) weapon...

We just did our playtest on Saturday. 7-8 mods, every one of them had combat which ranged in difficulty levels (god damn I'm sore and tired!). Flurry didn't come into play more then, maybe, once or twice. Personally, I feel that it's not really needed. It works great for Calgary, and maybe a few...

Again, not talking about paragon paths. NOT HELPING :p

I like this idea. Do that.

Personally, I think the current setup is complete crap and is detrimental to players. We have someone who's been wanting to change from Templar to Scholar. None of the player base has the scroll or the catalyst. He reached out to plot, something was figured out, they were all set to do it, but...

Which is why I've been avoiding them

Again, my comment was more of a "hey btw", not a "well this is in this path so you might as well go that way to get that." However, I don't agree at all that they can't be tested, especially since this upcoming test is specifically for testing the paths. My current test build doesn't have...

You're absolutely right, I wasn't suggesting it, that was just a passive " hey btw".

As for things that will help counter takeouts, we do always have access to resist element and resist poison, they're just not helping increase the xp spent in the fighter tree. Perhaps splitting parry, like slay was split, would be a good option. 2 point weapon parry, 2 point spell parry. Now...

I've been playing a fighter since start. I've never moved into rogue skills. Not a single test build that I've created for this rules set has included any rogue skills. The whole point is there should be no reason to go to rogue skills if you don't want rogue skills. Yes, the fluid setup allows...

Maybe, but the point of the thread has been "pure fighter". Now you're talking about buying rogue skills. I've actually forgotten that stun limb got moved into rogue abilities.

Oh. A few things that might help with defense against takeouts. There was a ritual that went something along the lines of "if the damage swung is less then 1/3rd of your armor, you don't take the carrier until your armor is breached." Hope that's still there. That's really only good for melee...

alright alright, here you go. I'm in low 30s, so my buildout is going to be vastly different, of course. I also benefit from a bunch of built sunk into blacksmithing which counts towards fighter skills, which is nice. It allows me to pick up more fighter skills without having to force the...

I really want to pipe in on this, I've got some thoughts, but we haven't had our playtest yet

heh true, but i wasn't talking about that part.

Yeah, loot split was great. 5 more seconds and we would have been picking Rosete and Leon up off the floor. So close. So, so close ....

Which is great for your storm casters :D

I don't get how this was unsafe. If you're in combat, lets say melee, you get hit with the spell, you stop moving. Just stand there. If you are unsafe just standing there, then your original combat positioning was unsafe to begin with. You're not in combat, you're running towards something...

Some seriously great conversations and discussions. ("Hey Neighbor, your bills are paid 'cause you don't pay for labor") The handling of the necromoth and having the plans completely reversed, was very cool to see people stepping up. Undead line. Nice to see the NPCs get the taste of what we...
