    [0.9] Why is Ritual Use different for each class?

    One thing to keep in mind re: ritual use is that most items with this cost are also charges per day. A sword with a single Spell Parry doesn't let someone use 20 RU charges to spell Parry 20 times a day. Higher level characters can use more overall items per day, but they don't use any items...

    A Different way to deploy 'Paragons'

    As a player (not in an official capacity) I am wholly opposed to this as disproportionalit effecting characters based on their current build when the rule would be implemented. To explain- At lower levels, build gain, and thus build recovery, is fairly quick. At higher levels, it slows. What...

    Corrupt - Is this ready for use?

    I may need to go back to notes, but one of the things I thought the owners asked to be tested was a change to both Create Undead and Corrupt to pause counts upon effect, including death/resurrection/etc. That appears to be the intent of the "restore to the status prior to the spell" line. If...

    [0.9] Paragon Paths

    Curse is a valid option for Specialist (as is command, binding, and some others). Healing and Evocation were specifically excluded.

    Paragon Paths - What is our goal, here?

    Regarding the purpose and design process, and to peel back the curtain a little (and to try and get this back on topic)- Pick any PC available ability. Any given single skill is obtainable by 8th level for the class it is intended for. With the current 7 class system, nearly half of the game...

    [0.9] Paragon Paths

    One other paradigm shift I believe people should also consider is access and disparity. People are comparing these the Golems, transforms, and other traditional "power increasing things", which I believe to be in error (or at least, extreme). A large part of what made those problematic was the...

    [0.9] Paragon Paths

    The last question on Elemwntalist shows the wording might need some tweaking- the intent is that when you throw an elemental packet of a minimum of that size, you get the extra packet- i.e. 40 elemental ice, spell stun limb.

    [0.9] Paragon Paths

    Also, it is worth mentioning that these are not designed solely for insanely end-game and epic characters. After a point, any build style system has trouble with unchecked growth. For a character with 400-500 build, the 50 build investment, while still significant, is only a part of what...

    [0.9] Paragon Paths

    From a melee (fighter) perspective 50 build provides the following- 10 critical attacks, 1 parry, 1 slay, 1 improved slay, and 12 build for other skills like disarms, resolute, etc. It also provides the vast majority of the prerequisites for an Eviscerate, Riposte, and a second purchase of the...

    Faire day 2/18/17

    It is. Cross posting from the CT boards- Teaser- A previously undiscovered area under the ancient fortress on Drake Island may hold answers to a current problem. The Caldarian military garrisoning the mysterious fortress is spread thin defending against increasing Kurzinor aggression, and...

    [0.8] Chaining Martial Skills

    To mirror Dan a little- some variant of the (still in testing) Swarm mechanic had been used in multiple chapters, as this very thread indicates. This indicated that multiple games saw a similar problem (be it cultural, site based, numbers, or some other reason). Much like was done years ago...

    Poison Strike

    This is currently being discussed by the owners, but to clarify one thing - Many of the comments indicate that people are equating "attacks" and "weapon attacks" in an incorrect way. "Immune to Silver weapon attacks" would currently only matter versus silver weapon attacks. If a plot team...

    Poison Strike

    You are potentially confusing delivery and qualifier. Poison strike turns any weapon attack into a poison attack, which changes the available defenses. For example- "10 normal" is technically "10 weapon normal" but Weapon is the implied default. If Poison Strike is used, it becomes "10 poison...

    "Prove it" calls

    Bless, COP, Templar are already all over that line. In all fairness though, the ritual was written/named when the operative mechanic was JUST Guard/Return/etc and was not something that was expected to be one of the most common things said in combat. With adding the source back in, that is...

    Ripping from a Bind

    It's actually exactly the opposite- it used to be a direct corralation and was later dividided into two abilities. The monster database format hasn't been updated since. Useless trivia. JP

    Trapping Large Rooms

    I think Dan likely has the truth of it. A nicely posted list in logistics, creating a consistent expectation per chapter (not per event) would be the expected norm- Something like (example)- Cabin A, B, C- 1 game room Cabin D - 2 rooms Main Tavern Area- 4 rooms Tavern Private rooms- 1 room...
