As of last night, anyway, bards don't get meditate. And for a lvl-21 bard, song of renewal cost more mana than it regenerated.

How about something I suggested on a similar thread about a year ago: How about giving warriors a new shield skill: shieldthump With this skill you bash the toes of your opponent, possibly slowing them down, diminishing their dodging ability. If you don't like that name think up another. You could t...

My favorite show. I hadn't watched television much, in years, and happened to catch the series pilot for some reason and instantly fell in love with it.

Dwarves can be bards. However, bards are currently seriously hosed. Imagine being a spell user and losing concentration >75% of the time. Though it gets better with levels... by lvl20 you should only fail 50% of the time. And, you'll have to wait until level 10 before you get your first song. They'r...

I am not in favor of down-grading equipment, even though I've only been burned a couple times by it: if you think an item needs changing, make a new item (different name/description/ansi/whatever) to take it's place, and not load the original item ever again. Over time they will disappear through lo...

Does it display your IP address (something like 192.168.10.1) or, does it display a symbolic name (mycomputer.mydomain.org)?

Or, how about mods to shieldpunch, giving it targetability? Shieldpunch feet would slam the edge of your shield down on the feet of the opponent. That would certainly reduce his agility(dodge/ac/?) and/or slow him down a tad, maybe reduce/eliminate fleeing. Shieldpunch face would slam the shield up ...

Any chance of getting one of the mage guilds of WD to allow necros in? It's really, really hard to get to the Leuthilspar necro guild

, and a long walk back to Bloodstone. Maybe put a necro guild inside the city of the dead?

Thanks!

It depends on what you mean by font size. Fonts have several measurments associated with them: ascent, descent, and leading. The 'line' that the font aligns to is called the 'baseline', ascent is the measurment from the baseline to the top of the highest letter, descent is the measurement from the b...

Shoot the mob in the foot, that'll 'staple' him in place. And, if it doesn't it's certainly going to slow him down or distract him some.

As anyone can testify, that develops software for a living, weekly status reports are the norm. Perhaps the gods (heh) can email the Player Relations God (whoever that is) once a week with a status report. The PRG can distill that down, and present it on the dev board.

I'm thinking that hijacking, at least in this country, is over. We've seen the last of it... at least for as long as it takes the general populous to forget the World Trade Center crashes. As long as people remember, they will not take the chance that their hijackers won't be copy-cats.

Give the shop a limited number of slots, say 30. When a new item is sold in the shop, the bottom item (non-shop-standard) drops off the list.

On the subject of ships: how about retiring Wave Dancer? It's getting a little old. Ships like the Realms Master or Silver Lady run rings around it. I'm sure an enterprising ship line would be willing to run a faster ship on the WD-BG run.
