Nausicaa was good, but the manga was a lot better than the anime.. like just about every other anime/manga out there. Vampire Hunter D was fun, I wish they'd make a sequel. The original Record of Lodoss Wars was excellent, but the "sequel" Chronicles of the Heroic Knight was lacking. Dragonslayer wa...

I agree that APs should get warhorses as well, but it looks like the Sojourn staff agrees with us. Fact is, a charger IS a warhorse. charg·er1 (chärjr) n. 1.One that charges, such as an instrument that charges or replenishes storage batteries. 2.A horse trained for battle; a cavalry horse. So I'm no...

Mal, I think you misinterpreted what I meant.. I was trying to say that you were trying to be cautious by putting in that disclaimer but everyone was ignoring it. Sorry if that was unclear, I know the post was a bit short and vague *chuckle* I was just trying to give you a bit of simple backup, gues...

Rynlaeis

Your disclaimer doesn't seem to help much, Mal.

Rynlaeis

I'd venture a guess that perhaps you're not doing as much damage as you think; I noticed the same thing at lower levels but after level 10 or so the mobs seemed to be a little more static with lost hit points. Perhaps make it so that mob regen is based on level, at least at lower levels, so that whe...

I think a coastal road would definitely be a boon to the Evermeet atmosphere. It would add another area to Evermeet (which is always a plus) and define EM more as an island, like Silvea said, which I think would add to the "mood" of Evermeet. Only thing is, I believe Evermeet in Forgotten Realms is ...

What was the point of this post? I believe it was that Grey Elf warriors don't have enough hit points at higher levels (higher? every level..) to survive when other warriors do. Is this true? Yes, I believe so. Does anyone deny it? Not that I've seen. If you do then perhaps you haven't seen Grey Elf...

Rynlaeis

Perhaps if we had doctors swinging swords into combat that might be more relevant, but I don't consider warriors doctors. The warrior classes were the classes I was speaking of. Besides which, clerics should be trained in the use of their bludgeoning weapons and mages should have a smattering of sta...

Rynlaeis

Cherzra - I wasn't trying to say that extra attacks are necessarily the way to go, I was trying to make a point that if this were to be implemented then there should be some sort of compensation since the larger warriors already have the advantage as is, that's all. I didn't mean to say that extra a...

Rynlaeis

Restated: If this were to be implemented then there should be some advantage to using LIGHTER WEAPONS, not to being a different race. If you use lighter weapons then perhaps you'd get more attacks. Or something else, maybe you'd hit more often, or get a hit penalty if you were using two 2h weapons. ...

Rynlaeis

You'll probably get the old argument that two-handed weapons were specifically designed to be used two-handed even for people of greater strength, but I really think that argument has a few faults. As long as the handle of a weapon is big enough, I'd say generally it could be used two or one-handed ...

Rynlaeis

I really extremely disagree that fumbling adds realism, people don't run around fumbling their weapons everywhere during real combat, any more than trained modern soldiers run around dropping their guns everywhere. Fumbling is bad enough as is, for heaven's sakes don't make it any worse. [This messa...

Rynlaeis

I love them Gally.

Simply enchanting.

Rynlaeis

I don't recall ever fumbling a sword in real life. So just the fact that fumbling exists is bad enough I think, to make fumbling "realistic" when it really isn't realistic in the first place is a little too much.

Rynlaeis

Fumbling is bad enough as it is, as a grey elven ranger with 100 dex I fumble just like that rogue Gythi was talking about, I have several aliases set for throwing my sword across the room because I try to joke about it instead of getting upset, even though it happens so constantly that I have troub...

Rynlaeis

It's not about waiting longer, I don't care about that, I just think it's strange that the mobs wouldn't follow the same casting rules as players. I suppose it could be cheesed somehow somewhere but most everything can anyway.

Rynlaeis

It'd be nice if the silver-plated shield that the kobold blacksmith gives for that silver nugget quest was half-decent. The way it is now, the quest takes quite awhile to do and costs a relatively large amount of money for the people that are trying to do it (150 plat or so for 14-20th level elves g...

Rynlaeis

Yes that was the point, it just seems strange that players stop casting immediately without a target but mobs just truck right along..

Rynlaeis

This has always bugged me, if a mob starts casting a spell on me such as a fireball or something, and I flee out of the room, and wait for 4 seconds, then I walk back in and get hit with the fireball.. why don't they stop casting when we leave like we do when they leave?

Rynlaeis

Or just add those to minor c.

Rynlaeis

Ragorn - I'm aware of the differences between dexterity and agility, and it does sound as if dexterity would be more important especially to parry, but an old Sojourn player, I think it was Narial, told me that shieldblock and parry were based off of agility.. then again, that was a long time ago an...

Rynlaeis

The second proposal looks quite good, but I think, as Treladian said, the addition of a variety of bows and arrows is a must. I enjoy archery as it is now, but I think it would be a lot more interesting if we were using different and diverse bows and arrows. I completely agree with most of the items...

Rynlaeis

Actually I believe parry and shieldblock are both agility based skills. I remember hearing that the skills on the practice listing are misplaced under the wrong stats now, perhaps because of the new skill additions or something. Could be wrong.

Rynlaeis

I think it's a good idea; seasoned warriors should have at least a decent idea of quality when it comes to weapons and armor, so they should be able to tell which weapon would be more effective and such.

Rynlaeis

Oh and I really haven't seen many grey elven rangers.. probably about as many grey elves as humans, maybe a few more.. most of the rangers are half-elves, that's more what I was geared towards with the dexterity thing, that elves have better dex than half-elves (I hope).

Rynlaeis

I wasn't trying to make grey and half-elves "better" I was just saying that it'd be logical to follow with the extra arrow or dart with the dexterity thing. And elves don't get an extra attack for dexterity every round, it happens maybe once a battle. So it's really no big deal, it's just nice to se...

Rynlaeis

Well since high dexterity is giving us extra melee attacks, it seems to follow that perhaps we'd get an extra arrow out or an extra dart thrown as well. Just another thing that might help to balance out the less beefy but more dextrous of the races when it comes to being rogues and rangers.

Rynlaeis

Incidentally I run a MUD too, which is based upon Circlemud 3.0; that's why I mentioned that adding a variable to ASCII pfiles is pathetically easy - I've done it several dozen times and it only takes a few minutes. I was under the vague impression that Sojourn was somehow based off of Diku or Circl...

Rynlaeis

A bit off topic but, Copper is some sort of codebase I gather? I've never heard of it, I was under the impression that Sojourn was originally based off of some kind of Diku derivative. Or is that what Copper is? I'd be interested in finding out what Sojourn was originally based on.

Rynlaeis

Elseenas - if Sojourn uses ASCII player files then the change would not require a pwipe. As to the coding, it would take all of two minutes to code, then an annoyingly long compilation from changing one of the header files which might take an additional 5-10 minutes. All in all, the time it takes to...

Waelos - Yes he did, we started at exactly the same time, played almost the same amount, and I hit level 28 when he was still 18.. poor guy. Faloran tells you, "*sighs* I'm never getting off Evermeet" Sure you are Fal, two more days you'll see.. "End of an Era" Anyway, one final clarification: I was...

Rynlaeis

Look, Waelos, if you want to argue, make your own points, don't trash mine when they're perfectly valid. I'm not here to argue with you, I don't post on these boards to get ripped apart by fellow Sojourn mudders. If your opinion conflicts with mine then that's fine, I don't care, let's just agree to...

Rynlaeis

And no, I was an elven ranger.

Rynlaeis

You lost a few hit points from one level, that's hardly enough to judge. Quote: You said "It seems to me that all permanent hit point loss does is scare away potential new players." You then said: "Sojourn definitely doesn't need more players, this isn't about the playerbase, it's not even about los...

Rynlaeis

Oh also - You don't think Sojourn has lost good players due to hp loss, even small amounts? I'm willing to bet there's plenty who would have been fine if not for the hp loss, think about it, you log on for the first time, OOoh Sojourn how nice. You play, get a few levels, testing the place out, tent...

Rynlaeis

Don't remember that ever happening to me, I only lost 2 levels that I remember and gained them back right away, without any perm hp loss. Like I said in my posts, this isn't about me personally, I really don't care, the system works fine for me. And do you mean 2 days of playing time or 2 rl days? I...

Rynlaeis

Not anyone else on this thread? It seemed to me that about 50% of the posts on this thread agreed that permanent hit point loss was a "bad thing." Perhaps my meaning was somehow misconstrued in the telling. I did not mean that the -fear- of hp loss is what drives people away, I meant that the actual...

Rynlaeis

I agree that the loss of max hp should be taken out. Maybe some people can level up to 25 in a few days but try starting out on Evermeet for your first time on Sojourn. Elves don't get many hp as it is, so losing even more to deaths is just discouraging, and I really don't see what it could possibly...

Rynlaeis

Actually Sarvis that's not entirely accurate. Martial arts ending with the "do" (way) suffix are intended more for spiritual and athletic purposes, while martial arts with the jitsu (art) suffix are intended for hurting, maiming, and killing people. In other words, if you want to do martial arts for...

If I recall correctly on Soj2 agility did have a decent effect on tanking skills; human warriors would get hit a less than barbs, and elves even less. I read somewhere above that dexterity should help with hitroll and I agree with this, I think dexterity probably has more to do with hitting than doe...

If you want to get into computer programming just go to college and major in computer science; you don't need any background as long as you're willing and prepared to study and look over your work as it's given to you. Most colleges will start from the ground up in computer science so as long as you...

Rynlaeis

Nah, one of the few great things about being an elf is being one of the only races allowed on Evermeet, and a citizenship quest would take that "coolness factor" away. I suppose if it was only doable by high-level people or something then that might work, but not for mid-low levels imho.

Rynlaeis

I recall hearing somewhere that Paladins on Soj2 got +20% to damage while wielding 2h weapons, I'm not sure if that's entirely accurate or just a rumor though.

Rynlaeis

Yeah they go up one every 4 levels in 3rd, but I think FR was supposed to be based off of 2nd.. but whatever, not like it matters, point is that I'd like to see stat increases every few levels on Soj3 also, regardless of what was done in D&D in any edition. [This message has been edited by Rynlaeis ...

Rynlaeis

Hmm well stats don't go up in D&D.. not basic statistic anyway, not unless you change the rules around a bit. Although I could be wrong about that, I always used my own set of rules anyway that included occasional stat increases.. But I think it'd be nice to get a stat point every few levels or some...

Rynlaeis

As a matter of fact Faerwynd, skalds are Scandinavian I believe :) But yeah I think it's great if bards can rush into battle with the rest of them, and "pump people up" with music, kinda like morale boosters when you're hearing your favorite music being played during a fight.

Well judging by the amount of responses in this thread I'd say that something does need to be done http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif But I'm sure the admin are working on it anyway.
