Thats funny, far as I can tell, humans are pretty much the worst rogues available, though i havent checked out gnomes in that class. Gnomes have higher dex and agi than humans..not sure why someone would think worse of them :) Crappy strength. This may affect dual wielding. It definately affects th...

Humans aren't a bad race, just not the ideal choice for mages since they don't have great int, but as rogues they're not a bad choice Thats funny, far as I can tell, humans are pretty much the worst rogues available, though i havent checked out gnomes in that class. Humans are one of the only goodr...

http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2003-10-29 Square also has a horrendous track record with character/class balance. Aside from possibly FF1, I can't think of any FF game I've played that didn't have characters that felt useless or jobs/job combos that could blow everything else out of the ...

As long as we are going on tangets, give pallies a ninth or tenth circle spell kinda like that of thorns on Diablo but not as powerful, and only works on evil aligned mobs, refelct a little bit of damage liek a tonned down fire/coldshield that only works on evil aligned mobs. Anti's can have the op...

Well since noone has bothered to answer other then Nilan, I'm still uncertain where Rangers sit in comparison to the other classes I asked about in terms of Riposte/Parry. Oops, forgot about this. Rip caps at 85, parry at 80. Defense caps at 80. As to the suggestion about improving riposte, obvious...

rangers need a clearer defined focus. This says it all really. We originally had a robust proposal from Miax that would have added both functionality and flavor to the class, but many of those ideas got neglected or otherwise forgotten due to various factors, responsibility for various aspects of t...

what happened to the traditional different arrow types Flaming arrows. acid arrows arrows of mageslaying arrows of dragonslaying arrows of the vampire lightning arrows arrows of stunning arrows of ice everyone of these items would give rangers something to do.. and make them more useful in certain ...

Pfft, windy IS warriorable, it just has that nasty side proc that speeds up the inevitable with elf warriors. 8) Seriously though, it's a 3d4 weapon whose proc depends heavily on your damroll to do any damage (and also on being a grey. I only get 2 attacks on average from the thing, but almost all t...

It would be much more reasonable to allow money to be used to buy skill notches above what you can get at a guildmaster. A lot of us know how various skills we have can do, but may not have the time to devote solely to raising it via repetition.

Treladian

I'll reiterate an idea from the old bbs. If the staff isn't comfortable with a full fledged fly spell for shaman, even if it's self-only, having the spell shapechange the caster into an actual bird for the duration would still provide a useful utility spell while keeping things in flavor and keeping...

First, gythka is !pali. Second your idea for a quest is a bit lacking. Ilneval is a god. Not a demi or quasigod, but a god. Killing off a god that still has their full power is not something that any mortal can conceivably do. Kazgoroth is at least dormant and nowhere near as powerful as Ilneval. Fu...

You realize that for the majority of halfelves, windy only procs 2 extra attacks on average, don't you? Paralysis is MUCH more powerful than that.

I demand that we be able to build money bins to dump all our useless coins and go swimming in it.

Treladian

I imagine that if some of the more useful potions you could buy were more easy to get to, some money would go out of the system. The cheap little vit potions in WD might be gone, but 60 p ones are still around and I don't doubt that many players would buy a bunch for emergencies if they were sold in...

Treladian

If any such system is implemented, then it should not just be based on a stat. After all, damroll isn't based purely on strength, it's strength plus additional modifiers off of eq.

Treladian

This would mean that many high level players would start hording extra copies of their items. I already keep a bunch of spare arrow quest components on storage just in case I break or lose too many, I wouldn't want other players to even have to think about this kind of annoyance.

I'm actually amazed that nobody selected the last option of lowering res effect fade. I'm not going to say what I voted for, but res fade was a close second. I think that the time sinks.. sitting around waiting to play.. are the part of the game that drive the most people away over time. I hate wai...

On a more serious note, there is something like this in Star Wars Galaxies. Occasionally an NPC will drop a locked container when killed, which can only be opened by members of the smuggler profession. What typically winds up happening is that people wind up with a ton of these things in their inven...

This reminds me of a story I read about someone's D&D campaign. When one member of the group was DMing, he filled his campaign world with boxes lying around that would either contain a trap or treasure. They would often be lying around in the middle of 4 way intersections for some reason and the par...

All I want are some sharks with some frickin lasers on their head! Seriously, I'd love to have a swarm of squirrels, rats, or spiders as a pet.

Definately the EQ changes. If they go in before any hosting hiatus, things will seem different when the mud gets up and running again and give some of us getting more and more jaded more reasons to endure the wait. I'm sure some of us would continue discussing and analyzing the changes even during t...

When I played an evil aligned goodie character, it always seemed to be more of my restriction than the paladin's or ranger's. Then, this one time I made a trade with a paladin for an item, and the paladin got stripped of his paladinhood, and then had the gall to yell at me for trading with him. He ...

a) Eyes: to attempt to blind b) Head: to attempt killing blow (when mob at <5% of hps?) c) Hand: to attempt to disarm d) Foot: to attempt to bash (trip) e) Throat: to attempt to stop casting (like song of disruption?) ...etc. Could also add different possible body parts for different types of mobs....

Mounts should really get evasion I think. Something that runs that much faster than a human is going to be able to get out of a blast radius that much faster when they see that conduit to the elemental plane of fire start up.

Yuan-ti weren't venomous in 2nd edition D&D, but abominations have some sort of poison in 3rd edition. It would be interesting to have the change in the source material reflected here.

And of course magic>>physical, but mages start out very weak and have to work hard to gain their powers. warriors/rogues they're pretty powerful at low levels compaired to mobs of similar level, but they don't get vastely better as mages do. The problem with this argument is that with any persisten...

You think is is annoying with a BAG!?!? Try having a quiver of mixed arrows :shock:

Third: The 1h Vs 2h battle. The reason all 1h weapons aren't 5d5 compared to 8d4 of most 2h'ers is that dualing things like this would be significantly more powerful than a 2h weapon and that compared with more attacks = HUGE damage gap. Don't forget that ranger/dire dual wielding has a rather stri...

Dalar, what Caedym is pointing out is if I can only do damage by area spells, then I'll have to be fighting multiple mobs at once instead of just one. Not very fair odds compared to everyone else class wise. :( I don't think the issue is having force missiles so much as the sheer power they have co...

It IS possible for mobs to search out a rogue and more area makers making use of this could make things more interesting without totally destroying sneak and hide. Some mobs could be set to patrol an area while searching while others remain oblivious. If a rogue doesn't take some effort to make sure...

1) Magic arrows that have a 95% chance of returning directly to the quiver. Personally, I'd like a spell in 7th, 9th, or 10th circle that acts as a collect command from rooms within a certain radius. The 5% that doesn't return and goes stray 2 rooms through a grid with aggros will still be annoying...

Treladian

Probably because dires are still relatively new and no god's felt like making a long and complicated quest for one yet in addition to making the right kind of area for it to go into, plus bugging Garguath to code the thing. But I think both rangers and dires need epic quest bows more than swords in ...

Are you Insane?! your best two handers are in the 8d4 range of damage. i've seen COUNTLESS 1h weapons that are 4d4 and better. Especially the 1h piercers seem to be pretty powerful overall... There supposedly was an intention to revise all the 1h melee weapons but that never got past 1h piercers fr...

Stealth is more than just ducking into dark corners. So long as you're able to stay out of someone's line of sight, you're essentially hidden from them, even if it's just two of you on a flat plain at noon on a sunny day. When playing Thief or Deus Ex, I played a lot of line of sight games with patr...

Sylvos: Thanks for reminding me of a skill idea I had LONG ago but never got around to typing up. I have to agree with Sylvos about rogues being the sole best scouts being silly.

There's one central issue with all the non-eq ideas posted in this thread: They're all melee related. Yeah, they'd be useful, but if archery is supposed to be our thing, then that's what really needs to be tweaked first IMO.

Something to keep in mind is that sentient ancient undead are extremely intelligent because they're ancient, not just because they're undead. A lich or vampire that's been alive for hundreds of years will have accumulated much knowledge in that time but being a walking corpse for a few months isn't ...

Wyvern's aren't exactly natural creatures either. Dinosaurs, however, are. Rare on Toril, but still naturally existing in some regions. But besides chewing, goring, or stomping on adventurers, they don't have much in the way of neat abilities.

In response to Crumar wearing nightshade bracelets because there is nothing else available, I think Sunstone Bracelets may be nice good aligned wrist items (though I'm no warrior expert).

This discussion has been had before and I still maintain that having your pets heal you is not "too easy" (whatever that means).
