Some suggestions for Melee I have. 1) Reduce the numerical effectiveness of defensive spells while increasing the effectiveness of defensive skills for all classes by the same amount. As long as the changes are applied evenly this should mean that the overall damage to mages defensive is not as seve...

Good luck answering that question. For an interesting visual essay on the subject, look at the late works of Fredrick Remington. The last 10 years or so of his career were spent trying to answer that question. I think he found out the answer was 'all of the above'

How about rogue myconids?

Zen

The problem is rangers lack the damage that rogues do (even with the bow) so we try to make up for it in damage gear unfortunately rouges can do better than us in damage gear So here are a few ideas to help us along. Not so sure about that, I don't know many rogues that can hit 46 damroll (Essentia...

And the comment that a ranger out "tanks" and unmounted knight due to elven agility? Zen you might want to reexamine that comment. I don't know about you, but I rather have a unmounted paladin/anti tank then a ranger :) for tankingme, as would most other zone leaders or even doing small groups of e...

Zen

As for a spell for rangers to make them better dual wielders.. i don't think that is right. Rangers are by no means true casters... they use very little in the line of spells and rarely get above 3rd 4th lvl spells. I'm not sure what you're saying here, but if you're trying to say that rangers don'...

Zen

Giving Anti-Paladins and Paladins more of a role in the group is a simple as addressing the issues with their mounts. Right now, mounts die too easily to clouds, flee seperately from their riders on roar and can only be ridden in rooms that are flagged outdoors. Granted there needs to be some drawba...

Zen

8) I don't think this would suddenly cause people to leap up and grab all the rangers when the game boots. I think people know that rangers are useful for luring, tracking, and hitting. Too bad rangers don't like hitpoint gear, or else they could probably tank decently, too. It pains me to say it, ...

Zen

In the pen an paper version the mount and the rider share saves and immunities. For purposes of simplification I would suggest making the mount use the riders save when it's being ridden. If the Knight saves against fear or spell, so does the horse IF he is on it.

Good work on the auction system.

My only suggestion atm would be to make the auction channel show the item name instead of the number. Vandic just bid 1000000 plats on a bigass sword of dwarven smitage is a lot more interesting than Vandic just bid 1000000 plats on item 12343

How about having the mud determine if you can ride or not based on the height of the room instead of simply checking to see if it's indoors or outdoors. A giant can walk where a knight cannot ride atm. On a related note, can mounts be made to use the players saving rolls whenever they are being ridd...

Zen

There isnt that big a gap with warrior and paladin hp. I can get my 118 yr old paladin to over 1k hp w/o spells while still using 2h. I suppose big is relative, especially when talking to a Gnome. To be more specific there is an approximately 200-250 hps gap between a paladin and a barbarian/dwarve...

Melee on sojourn refers to the non-spell and non-ranged aspects of the muds combat engine. Basicly anything where you walk up and take a swing at someone is considered melee combat. Many of the basic principles for melee combat apply to ranged and spell combat, hitpoints and damage etc. But there ar...

I don't think the entire guild roster should be available to non-members, but I think that making the guild leader's name show up on assoc info ## would be a good thing to help out younger players looking for a home on the mud.

Well.... paladins were the premiere tank at the begining of this wipe, but the mud is ever changing. Paladins are still better tanks that warriors in many situations, but most paladins have given up their tanking roles in favor of wearing hit/dam. Embodiment also contributes a warriors status as pri...

Llandrien, if you can't find 2 hrs to put into running a zone, do you think its fair to get the same reward as someone who does? Thank you for the informative tone of your post Savras. To clarify my meaning, I think a zone smaller yet still difficult zone with fewer, high quality rewards is prefera...

Zen

The occurance of uber zones lately is already discouraging and frustrating. For me personally, the fun factor of any zone drops off the map after 2-3 hours. For the most part, I do not have the time RL or the stamina in the game to do 12 hour zone marathons, and many are in the same boat. Granted, t...

Your skill limits are related to your level, they can be practiced by use or at your guild hall IF your level based skill limit is higher than your current skill level. It is also important to not that your master can only train you so far in any given skill, in order to hit your maximum for that sk...

Zen

Regardless of what you enjoy or why you play, I think there's a issue when the majority of players have to do xp at levels 46+ to advance, instead of doing what they enjoy, be it questing, rp'ng, exploring or zoning. With as much as there is to do on sojourn, I have to wonder why this should be the ...

Zen

The real game for sojourn is zoning, and granted you have to get up in levels and/or knowledge to zone, at least if you want to do anything worth doing for more than sheer amusement. Now I haven't heard that from the forgers, but that seems to be the feeling among the players. Zoning is where it's a...

Zen

I think a quest that would allow most good races to choose to become outcast would be an interesting addition to the game. I say most because there are certain races and classes that simply should not group with evil races for a variety of reasons. Paladins an Elves come to mind, and perhaps even an...

Zen

My two cents. 1) There does not need to be, or is it helpful to have, equivalent items for every alignment. Diversity is the stable of life, and there's nothing wrong with alignment restricted equipment as a general concept. 2) Non-equivalent eq is only a problem when the overall balance of items in...

Etched dagger is a proc on crit weapon, under the new code mobs have a chance to dodge crits. I an nutshell your critical attack was dodge and the proc was not. Mobs can also dodge procs too, so now you could get the opposite, and land a crit without the proc.

I just saw X2 and it is extremely good, go see it yourself. It's hardly true to the comics, but very enjoyable. (Mystique is much cooler in the comic books.)

it should be an innate barbarian skill. Or an innate Thanuk skill. Either way i was bitching about this months ago, and nobody cared.

There are 4 invasions in the game, the rules should be the same for all of them. Jot invasion rules are a dinosaur from before the trolls, before smoke, before muspelheim and before gith invasion. Whatever the rules are for Jot invasion should be the same rules for any other invasion. First group wi...

D&D guidelines aren't balanced for a long term game with 200-300 participants.

D&D guidlines also remove all restrictions on class, race and alignment, I don't see that happening soon. being an evil ranger would rock tho.

Longshot! Er... wait that's not X-men... is it?

Of the ones in the movie, Cyclops has always been my favorite character, with Logan a close second.

The fact that Grey's can't be illusionists is the only reason I don't have an illusie. It would be nice if grey's could be illusionists, but I don't think it really fits into the image of grey elves on sojourn.

Edited because Yayaril agreed with me mostly, and I didn't know what to say.

With or without the Bible, I have yet to hear of a culture that developed its laws without a religious basis.

If Yayaril agrees with me, does that mean I'm a bad person?

Zen

You could certainly make the point that the western world has based it's laws on the moral code of the Bible. While not all laws are based on Judiaism and Christiantiy, it can be said that all laws are derived from a moral authority, and the origins of that moral authority are found in a religion or...

It wouldn't be a bad idea if they sucked as tanks, but casting pets that could tank stuff would be over the top. They would have to be made to cast spells <7th circle as well, pets with embodiment wouldn't be cool.

Sporadic roleplay sessions that last into the wee hours of the morning are not a possibility for those with real life finals and jobs to contend with. If restrings are going to be tied to involvement in campaign sessions, then the opportunities to participate need to be as predictable and regular as...

I for one would love to see an idea like this implemented, or any other idea for restrings. There was a time when restrings were being handed out rather liberally, and then it stopped. I'll be the first to agree that restrings shouldn't be taken lightly, but either there needs to be no restrings in ...

It's nice to rant about a minor foot note on his post. I would agree however that making an ranger shoot more arrows per round would fix nothing. Forget the aggrivation it takes to get good arrows, more arrows per round means more damage per round. So without downgrading the damage overall there isn...
