I think prop 19 is good, except that orcs should probably get -1 end here? They don't really need a buff in any form and not nerfing their HP along with the heavy melee races is an oversight imo. Dwarf should have the HP advantage as they are the tanky race in theory. Basically orcs are gaining 20h...

- Step 2: Make the reward for holding the town say 1-3% of all gold given out from exping, quests rewards and any commerce done (ie buying/selling stuff from shops, auction house, healing at temples , maybe even bank deposit amounts etc) in that towns area each week (kinda like the guild tax) That ...

Really like the fact that you are thinking of things that take the game far beyond Rok's one dimensional gameplay. In some ways i really like the idea. I've always thought Rok would have done well with a town control type mechanism. However I don't really like the ways you suggested implementing it ...

I think I disagree with Eld/JF on this one... PROVIDED that there is appropriate player compensation being offered from NH (eg some racial respecs given - of a generous enough nature that most ppl generally won't feel burned by it) Simulation testing would take a lot of time and probably not reach a...

i would imagine in that sense the mage would shoot 8 blasts at a horc instead. the odds are 6/8 will hit vs 5.5 in that theory. the whammo effect would fit better against d/e human etc. what if we changed the idea slightly. say a magical rune or trap that could be placed on a square with a 3 minute...

most of the spells i used are renamed spells that are ingame (i.e "higher tier damage spell" essentialy equal to blast but slightly less output due to the fact sorc should remain highest damage) some may prove tricky, but overall i think most are doable (except maybe magic missle on arcan...

Nice ideas.... So many new spells/skills that I don't even have the brain space to consider how each of them would affect game balance. But I was thinking about what you said about increasing magical threat in game (in the race stats changes thread) and I think perhaps only a single spell is needed ...

Proposal 19 looks the best of recent ones imho. Sure there's a lot of unknowns here that may not play out as well as ppl hope in practice (eg the new +1 dodge Agi on Ling, the 50% fizzle reduction in elf etc) but at least on paper it seems that every race maintains its distinctiveness to some degree...

The only 2nd thought I had re +1 dodge Agi on "little people" is that with gnomes you could technically +1 endurance and effectivly get a better than best elf sorcerer for the most part (ie 22 dodge Agi, 18 End and better int/wis... Only niche left for elf sorcerer to be better is if they...

I see both sides of argument. On one hand I appreciate that Lat just wants to get changes in quickly and do so at a more incremental/manageable rate. This is practical. But I do think that in trying to get this accomplished, his consistent posts effecively saying "calm down, all is well" c...
