So, from the sound of it, this is your request: That a helpfile be created, or updated if existing, to show which guilds each race can become a member of? If this is what you mean, I'm sure that is something that can and will be taken into consideration by the immortal staff, and chances are Mystra ...

To the best of my knowledge, as the guy that wrote most of the helpfiles for the new Races, that indeed Danica is quite correct. The information was taken directly from Races of Faerun. While their skill sets and stat bonuses and negs, most likely have been adapted to better suit the FK enviornment,...

I think that's why this would be a three feat point feat.

That way, the advantage is, they can spend those feat points on other things, while a priest that wants that advantage, needs to invest either feat points, or the glory to get feat points into it.

I know just for personal experience, I wouldn't mind at all dropping three feat points into something like this, to help improve my ability to meditate.

Agreed. Mostly I think this would be for balance. A Cleric of Lathander, resplendent in his rose tinted platemail, would be able to refresh his spells given by his god, as easily as a Mielikkan druid in her leather garb. Codewise though, the heavier armoured cleric takes quite a bit longer to refres...

I think that's what they're trying to get across yes. It would allow priests to regain mana, even while they're wearing the Platemail which their vocation allows. Right now, any armor at all, impedes your success at meditation. The preposed feat, would either, cut that down immediately, or, if multi...

Wemics aren't allowed to be evil, as for the most part they aren't as a race.

They are nomadic huntsmen. Not to be confused with Lamia, which are in fact, always evil.

I wasn't trying to say that it wasn't possible this could be a Mind spell.

Just that they actually do have a psionic ability, known as Mindlink, Forced Mindlink, Thieving Mindlink, etc.

Just mentioning it for others edification.

Most of that last part was my mistake, as I believe you are able to send tells when you are dead, even if you do not have an amulet. Though, don't quote me on that, as I've been at work since very early, and my brain is a slight form of mush currently. :) As for the NC issue. Yes, if the spell does ...

It's a very valid question, and I'm sure half of the reason is my own innate sense of paranoia. Here's a scenario. I am a tester. I tend to log onto the game port, and often idle there, as I'm a newbie council member, and this is a way I can be able to answer questions and the like. Now, while I'm d...

Well, Part of the issue for me is that I keep getting this mental picture, of someone being forced into Roleplay they are not comfortable with, and due to someone casting this spell they are unable to call for help to stop the situation. Coding this spell to allow for Otells even while it's on would...

Good point. But here's the kick to that. If you can't remove their amulet before they call for help....how could you cast the spell before they do so? Same principle applies, but it's just a matter of instead of creating a spell that takes this ability away, why not just do it with what is already a...

Okay, my opinion. I am really really leery of allowing any player to spy on another both from an IC and OOC standpoint. I think while this might be a decent addition to the game, it's possible negatives outweight it's benefits. There are already numerous ways that Wizzies can spy on people, that I w...

Yes,

Remember, the Shadow Weave is essentially, access to a darker reflection of the Weave, granted to you by a Goddess that wishes for nothing more than a return to oblivion. And a Follower of Shar, is helping to make that possible.

Hrm,

I really don't like the idea of forcing anyone in this way. I think honestly this would be better handled by..say...removing their amulet? (with their consent to such RP of course)

This gets you the same effect, as they won't be able to send tells without it.

Yup, it's Psionics.

Mindlink, Forced Mindlink, etc, are all Psionic powers, of the Telepathy sort.

The problem with that is that clerics aren't really known for their Area of Effect spells, at least in my opinion. The reason one person is affected by an ear piercing screech, is they are the only one that hears it, as per the spell. Personally I think Sound burst makes sense. It's a spell that hur...

Neverwinter Nights, is Bioware's interpretation of Faerun. Forgotten Kingdoms is Mystra and Tyr's (as well as other Imm's) interpretation of Faerun.

Actually, That's not quite true. There were rules in Second Ed, for Demi-paladins, allowing for elven, dwarven, halfling, and I believe gnomish paladins. That's the rules lawyer in me though, that just needed to make that clarification. As for the rule itself, that's an admin call and it's how they ...

My take. You should view the Who List with a grain of salt. If it's an evil, looking to follow an evil deity, you should probably not IC'ly Rp that out. If it's a good, looking to follow a Good deity, then you can probably ic'ly rp that out. It's a great tool for the Admins, and HP's of faiths to se...
