In my defense, I didn't just want a "look" , I wanted the claws, the fire breath, stat boost, and fire immunity ... and I use these things in RP , more than actual use ... but have from time to time.Technically there is no problem for dex builds, but the problem in "singleplayer mode" comes excactly for allmost all due to their triple class RDD build. This means they have divided their forces into 3 different categories and as a result suffers powewise. Howeever RP wise anyone can use the models to give themselves wings etc if it was only a matter of that.
But, I wasn't complaining ... if it was taken that way , it was not my intent at all.
*Edit* My comment about KD , was just a vague example ... not really a specific issue ... I was just trying to point out, no matter your AC , regardless if it's heavy armor based or dex based, will not matter how high it does get at some point.
It wasn't a point of matter if there weren't ways around KD ... I just said that to say, there were other combat aspects you have to consider happening , no matter what your AC is or how it's attained. My bad for not being clear on that.
But Like I said before, I am actually fine with things how they are ...
I'm NOT unhappy with my characters or how things are.
The only two things I am not a fan of is :
1- Monsters seem to be as fast a hasted characters at times, and almost all- match or are as fast barbarian movement once you get into the higher and epic level areas. ( only issue with that is , it's difficult to use tactical retreats when they can out run you. Otherwise, it's not really an issue )
and
2 - and It takes a LOT of points for Lock pick on non rogue characters to open even the common chest ... , and you spend twice the points to get those.
Seeing how you can't buy the things found in the chest , and are only found IN those chest ... , it can be difficult when you have characters that don't really have the points to spend on it in the first place.
Not saying these things should be bought , the chest are fine ... , and I suppose you can technically play with-out finding hurricane pots or Mind Pots .... but , man thats alot of points for the basic DC 25 chest alone, much less the more advanced ones.
Which like you said, it's fine if you are rogue or bard and got the points to spend ... and they don't suffer the two points per skill point in that area ...
But these things aren't really anything "big" , and normally I wouldn't say anything about them at all.
I just feel there was some confusion in this discussion somewhere along the way.
I myself wasn't complaining ... the only reason I said anything at all in the first place, was because the others had said something on it, and because two of my characters are dex based ... I rather shared some of the concerns in the armor department ( I did not know Tolmar armors existed at the time ) , but for me ... or my characters , I honestly wasn't fretting over it.
Jess is NOT a front line tank fighter , she;s a flanker and chips away at her enemies ... ( Guerrilla warfare style )
and Anoksuna is ranged , she shouldn't be getting hit physically by much at all ... because she doesn't need to be that close.
and you asked me what was discussed ...
I'm sorry it didn't seem to make you happy ... , I honestly didn't think it was all that big a deal, and the impression I got from the others was that it was a minor concern , not really a game breaking thing.
and I hope that you don't feel non-appreciated, because I will be the first person to sing praises about this server, the work you put into it , and ask the others , even tell them you are a awesome dude , and you listen and do things beyond what other server owners would even remotely consider doing. In fact, I did during that conversation say that!
Most the things that don't really make me happy is basically NWN engine itself ... and there's no "fixing" those things that are hard coded into the game engine ,because Bioware people never PnP played, and they didn't know what they were doing in that regards as it applies to role-playing games ...
But that's nothing that's anyone's fault or can do anything about ... ,so you just have to make the best of it.
