"Come on now, you can do way better than that scar-faced fool," remarks Reg with a golden grin, stretching his fingers. The loss of his weapon had almost no effect on his strength.

Gaah, did you read my mind when I mentioned that class yesterday? I suppose besides the name and the idea of buffing they're fairly different, though. I was toying with the idea of a mounted class but assumed it'd be pointless since everyone would choose Dragoon over it, but giving both the mounted concept and the buffing feature to the same class is an interesting solution. That said....I think it's too powerful. Ignoring row and defense is one thing, but on a class that's already permanently hastened, that's way too much damage. And that shield is just....damn. Every single member of the party deals a Critical Hit that ignores defense to every single member of the enemy party, and the next three party members get guaranteed rolls? That's both complicated and really overpowered. I would drop the SP piercing, for one. Heroic Charge needs to be changed into something else completely, I think manipulating rolls is just too powerful, as is the damage inflicted. It's a great idea for a class, though. Just needs a bit more balancing work.

He's a Sage, he can't deal physical damage anyway.

Round Three of Round Two >Pretzel heals himself (Cross of Light) - Heal (+28 health, -1 ether) >Dreyrugr is no longer stunned Erik vs. Reg (Twin Axe) - Damage (25 - 8 = 17 damage) >Pretzel disenchants enemy party - Failure (-5 ether) >Sylph puts Big Red to sleep - Success (Big Red asleep, -1 ether) >Nessa vs. Difur (Silver Crossbow) - Critical Hit (38 x 2 - 8 = 68 damage) Gontzo uses free hit on Pretzel - (28 - 16 = 12 damage) Feldorin uses free hit on Dreyrugr Reg - (46 - 4 = 42 damage) Little Red uses free hit on Erik - (16 - 8 = 8 damage, Erik KO'd) Feldorin poisoned - (1 damage) Sylph puts Big Red to sleep as Pretzel heals himself just in time to take another bolt from Gontzo.. Reg delivers a near-fatal slash to Erik's shoulder, and Little Red stabs him right in the back from the shadows, finishing him off, but the Sewer Wolf leader is taken off-guard as Feldorin's insane swinging hits him.

My point is that I don't think a character shouldn't be able to make connections this clearly when all the information he has to work off of is "A Mopag farmer helped these heroes in R'klif," which is I detail I can't even imagine anyone remembering unless they actually experienced it. Doesn't your character being able to know (mostly) everything that goes on in every Quest kind of take away from the experience of being there and being able to actually go through it for those that were originally on the Quest? Maybe it's just me. I like the idea of Quests being almost story or legend-like, even to other heroes, being able to say 'I was there' or 'I did that'. It's like if a random hero walked up to Arthur asking in vivid detail about his outbursts in Quest 53. (Not taking a stab at you Flipz, just giving an example).

I feel like that having a very knowledgeable character is fine as long as it's not or completely ignoring what's reasonable for an actual person to be able to recall or remember. Freedom of roleplaying is an obvious necessity, but never forgetting a single detail about anything your character has ever heard is something else. It's a farmer from a village. I have a hard time believing Arthur can remember him no matter the circumstances surrounding it. If he was on the Quest, yeah, it'd make perfect sense. But this guy isn't dressed up like a farmer, Arthur doesn't know what he looks like, and the only connection he could make is that he's from R'klif and knows heroes. Isn't it assuming a little too that Arthur can place exactly where and how he met a group of heroes nearly two years ago on a Quest he wasn't even on?

Fixed.

It's not unheard of. I vaguely remember a Maccus headpiece being sent accidentally as a replacement for anothers' in the PotC topic before the Black Pearl was even released. I'm interested to see this piece too.

It's not realistic. Is handing the heroes their megablocks in the first round a quirk?

Atramor relied heavily on the Pheles Rod as he walked along the rocky, slippery path along the falls. It wasn't unlike walking along the sails of ships, except, well....he wouldn't be coming back from a fall from up here. That in mind, he was careful to use the staff to check for particularly weak areas in the rock before walking along them. Maybe in an earlier time he wouldn't've bothered, but it seemed like death had been even closer than ever recently. "I'll take your word for it," commented Atramor through the thick mist. "I wouldn't ride onna those things on solid ground, much less the side of a mountain."

First thing in the morning, promise.

"Rest works, I s'pose."

I've got one idea called the Inquisitor that's pretty much built around obliterating enemies that use ether (and to a lesser degree, defense...it's less around protecting your party as much as it is levellng the playing ground between the party and enemies) and has an automatic multiplier against demonic and holy enemies that's similar to what you mean. It was directly inspired by Thothwick.

I've got one that's built around the idea of a leader acting as both support and offense, hopefully that'll appeal to some. Similar to a Knight, but sacrifices a shield to be able to buff allies.

Good point. A lot of my ideas involve giving players a choice as to what to do (similar to healing or spellcasting rather than just attacking), since it's a lot more fun to strategize with them in mind...but limiting them to just two (like how Sages can't physically attack) or having too many doesn't leave much room.

I'm curious to hear what kind of Expert classes people think we're lacking. I have an inordinate amount of ideas and wonder which would be most sought-after. I notice a lack of healing and magic classes, but nobody seems to be minding all that much when going from Mage to Dragoon. What does everyone look for?

DLL pointed out in the R&D Feldorin should've still had his negative effects. Rather than consuming Double Rainbow, he's damaged Nessa.

Round One of Round Two >Dreyrugr uses Smelling Salts on Pretzel - (Pretzel Hastened) >Pretzel uses Scroll of Disnechantment - Failure (-5 ether) >Pretzel uses Scroll of Disnechantment - Success (All enemies lose positive effects, -5 ether) >Erik vs. Big Red (Titanic Axe) - Miss (No effect) >Nessa vs. Feldorin (Silver Crossbow) - Special Damage: Flying High (23/2 - 3 = 9 damage to Nessa, 23/2 - 16 = 0 damage to Pretzel, Feldorin loses negative effects) >Sylph vs. Reg (Shrapnel Bow) - Aim (10 damage, -1 SP) Gontzo uses free hit on Dreyrugr - (28 - 9 = 19 damage) Difur and Little Red use free hit on Pretzel - ((21 + 16)/2 - 16 = 3 damage) This time, things go fairly well for the heroes. With Dreyrugr's help, Pretzel cripples Difur, Reg, and Feldorin. The High Elf takes a wild swing at Nessa and Pretzel, burning himself out in the process. Big Red narrowly dodges Erik's axe, ramming into Reg, causing Sylph's arrow to only graze the man's shoulder, taking a chunk of armor off with it. Gontzo nails Dreyrugr with a bolt, while Difur and Little Red's combined power can barely scratch Pretzel. Enemies Gontzo "Koona t'chuta, Oondii?" Level 28 Vermin *Fights in back row.

Drops: 50 gold Immune to enamored, confused, and hexed. Reg Goldjaw "Come on now heroes, weakening us isn't going to help you all that much.
