Bud your like two week old is level 8 before we've even done anything.

I think the problem is more the 8 max quests are not that hard, and the 9-10 quests can be very hard, and I agree they are definitely very cool, so would love to see if something could be done there.

Problem statement: If sufficient risks are not taken, it meant pcs were able to stack up potions, creating a very hard to balance system for DMs.

Current solution: Limiting the number of potions etc you carry, and crippling you if you go over them.

Issue: Immediately optimises for certain builds and classes. A fighter/rogue is immediately better off, as they can use wands and scrolls, and given average level is 7, ab is not much different. Wizards are also pretty great in this system. Any dex based classes are immediately penalised, as they have to trade off mage armour + cats grace vs bulls str for same result.

Suggested solutions:

1) Remove bag limit but have potions leak out randomly over resets, forcing you to use or lose.
2) Create tier 1 and tier 2 potion system - tier 1 are the obvious like bulls str, endurance, etc and are limited, tier 2 are eagles splender, mage armour etc, and are limitless

Before, this splint used to give +3 ac vs pcs, now it's only +2 ac vs pcs

Not sure why this was ever nerfed, given how shield potions/spells + tumble can create higher ac, how we already have fullplates,  it would be cool to have this reverted.

(disclaimer, I do wear this)

IF YOU LET ME FINISH IRONSIDE

JK, mobile randomly cuts off the text when you make a post

Could we add some sort of tool that retags the rogue's crossbow? Or maybe make something sellable, similar to what druids had?

Having played one for a bit, can I recommend the following;

- crossbows multi function as grapple guns if you are pure
- rogues get higher wand limit if pure

This gives more utility to rogues which is cool, especially at lower levels and if you

This is so vom I cannot believe you asked for this vp lol.

Basically enables buffing for party to go off

As someone who has played pcs that have been against mobs I am totally against this ruling. Make it illegal without dm approval.

Players mostly randomly heal pcs, before even thinking, which is very frustrating and cheesy/griefy. It also 99% of the time causes players to assume they can get up, and raises the classic vet argument of you might as well fd them.  now.

What is this? Another stranger pc jumping between peerage and the rings whenever they are bored and want to do something riskless? Quelle surprise.

In all seriousness, these types of things do really bastardise the hard work of real ring running pcs and should be removed for this reason. I still think that planar bazaar thing was a good medium, not sure why it was removed!

Some is yeah, but there's a lot of why missing, and also general atmosphere regarding a lot of events.

You're missing the point of the post. It was to understand wtf has happened recently, because it's not greatly documented even though these were mass dm events....anyway I got my answers

Got it, cheers.

Follow on;
- Why are people helping Ojo then? Who said he would help them defeat the count? And why would knights etc think they'd ever need his help? Did all the Lords like agree they needed his help?
- Who said Arrhenius was our fated guide? Has the King said anything about him, or the Count?

Basically I am just trying to understand the line between what is factually true and what is like twisted words from pcs/npcs with agendas. So we don't have some reveal at the end where Sverri/Ojo take off their mask and it's the count underneath..

I'm completely out the loop so can we get like an overarching summary of the current situation regarding everything, as I've really no idea what is going on and the dm announcements didn't help much.

So to confirm, within the realm of nonspolier;
- The count is still drilling towards the king (?) - But everyone hates him now? Or is everyone pro king now? Why do we hate him exactly? Has it been established if he is connected to Nothing?
- Ojo the bloodmage has returned - Is bloodmagic okay ? Its not seen as taboo or anything, so we can all help him? Did anyone even explain why we are helping him?
- Sunpurse is closed (?) - Is the estate just shut while everything has a makeover or did phelan go do something?
- Sverri is the spirit of Arrenhius or w/e - Is this a new thing to peerage? Has it happened before? If its new are people generally for or against it? Is the spirit evil? Are we meant to know who he was?
- The Nothing is moving closer (?) - Is it? There's agents about so are we meant to think the Nothing is like growing closer?

Currently I'm largely ignoring most of the above because I'm really not sure how to act, so would be good to know.

Seemed like a cool char,  a pity you decided to fd a naked guy on near death as a weapon master really,  as a duel would've been much more interesting and satisfying if you won.

Honestly this quest is a bit of a mess and I actively avoid it lol.

It used to be cool, thematic and in an area that made sense, now it's so random, deadly as hell, and has lost it's cool boss.

It would be cool if it had some purpose...like fire themed items or something

I hope you punched people with that book.
