Ark was taking longer then normal to go about his business. He was taking time to wander various trails and roads he came across, half for the fun of it and half so he actually knew where they went. He started to cut through the wildlands to reach his destination faster, visually the area did not lo...

Maybe I'm weird but shouldn't death be a very real option and difficult to come back from? Maybe that's just me... its not weird to have an opinion on how death should work that's why we are here, there is no perfect answer just ideas so feel free to always throw yours out there. ^_^ and there are ...

I would agree with that, would make it much more simple to balance path skills at the very least.

divination was a cool skill that did not fit in a LARP let alone FH, as it promoted lone wolf play, and going further, made a singular player want at least one GM or NPC to run scenes with. the game just does not have the staff to support the skill, despite the fact that it is a really cool idea. I ...

over 70 spells. . .I never thought I would see the day when a caster had more spells then arcane, and as many unique options as nearly 4 other paths. . .combined, not counting its path abilities. this pretty much puts the final nail in the coffin for my view on Magus and the new casting system, I mi...

awesome response again. and I do agree with nearly all of your reasoning and understand why things are the way they are. (I did have a much larger post but it felt to confrontational so I didn't post it) and thanks for making ecopoliticalinvestment a word as well XD my biggest problem with it is how...

actually most of my posts are to encourage conversation and points of view and are often not done just for me (I PM or simply call the GM's and talk with them about the issues) but if they get responses then the GM's can get an idea of how the overall player base feels, even if we completely disagre...

Kind of lumping all three of these into one because they all kind of revolve around the same answer to the same question and that's the overall idea of kind of game are we playing. I didn't add the investment / political / economical / whatever its called today into the title because A) it would not...

I agree with almost all of what you said, and completely agree that not only healers but any group working together is going to be a tough force, and that yes people seem to go till there in negs. I have yet to play a full healer but every character I build or am a part of has some form of healing, ...

Daaawwwww, you got me Kiel, you know I like this kind of Mage :3 aside from tiny tweaks or not liking a spell or two (okay when there are this many) I obviously like it. I also like that there are only a few big game stop spells but still LOTS of spells that can be cast and be effective and helpful ...

I would have to look over all the swap outs and try and find breaks, problems, or issues with them on a case by case basis. Because as you pointed out skills like sense essence don't seem like an issue, at that point its just short end of the stick in that something had to be a swap out and it got t...

you are correct on power of the ancients I was thinking about jack of all trades still sorry about that. and its not just about mechanically breaking the game, skills are often made swap outs based on RP, the swap out skills are often considered defining skills of there path, so much so that only th...

swap outs are PURPOSEFULLY made swap outs so jack of all trades and sage cannot get them, that is done deliberately and by design and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Sage can pick one advanced in place of one if its own master as a master level skill and has access to mimic. neither of those...

I would agree with Kiel on at least 1 master skill, the lack of any is simply a huge negative. however I would disagree on mimic as that is such a definitive sage skill and Jack has plenty of versatility and basic options already.

I had intended to do one of these and Zydana kind of reminded me to do so in another topic. there are a couple things I wanted to touch on in this thread, things like character progression and its systems, character turnover (death or starting a new character), and anything else related I can think ...
