It's good to be home.  <3

Oh man, rest in peace. You were so many things to me in my time on EFU. I'll never forget you. xx

When I make a post in the Exile forum it doesn't show up, I switched browsers and tried again and got the message below, upon refreshing, there is no post. Perhaps my permissions are not set properly?

Thanks.

Goodbye old friend. [wheeze]

I'm not the best at knowing what can and can't be done with NWN but here are some loose suggestions for druid kits.

Vermancer. Neutral Evil

This druid has dedicated their life to the protection of and communion with the often less desirable vermin of the world.

Add vermin to the list for animal empathy (New skill/feat?)

Allow vermin as companions.

Monstrous Beetles and queen spider wildshape forms.

Gauntlets are equipped and cannot be removed giving the Vermmancer extra damage in unarmed combat, upgraded at lvl8

Web spell

Perday abilities; Disease cone, Poison cone.




Elemental Druid. Chaotic Neutral

This druid has dedicated themselves and continues to work with the prime elements.

Add Elementals to the list for animal empathy (New skill/feat?)

Below lvl 8 - basic elemental forms and summons. 1/day random flame/ice/acid/electrical berry.

At lvl 8 the druid must choose an element to attune to. Powerful single elemental form and summon. Alignment shift towards the chosen element

1/rest flame/ice/acid/electrical berry of chosen element.

Spells - Acid splash, electric jolt, flare, ray of frost.
Ice dagger, burning hands.

At lvl8 new spells become available according to the attuned element chosen.

Fireball, Gust of wind, Lightning bolt, Acid breath.




Hunter of Undeath. Neutral Good.

This druid has dedicated their lives to putting to rest the undead and slaying those who raise them.

Turn undead feat/ability

Protection from Alignment , disrupt undead and Aura of glory spell.

1per/rest random, improved version of holy water throwable or bullets.





Aspect of the Balance - Lawful Neutral.

Before the darkening and the loss of the surface world, this druid had become the very embodiment and a true guardian of the Balance that so many druids hold dear.
Even now, in the face of the shattering of that Balance, this druid maintains their vigil.


Feats - Monk AC bonus, still mind, purity of body and wholeness of body at their respective levels.


Spontaneous casting for healing spells.

Unique summoning theme. Instead of conventional summons the druid calls upon various "aspects" of the Balance (similar to the Law theme?) Birth- An immobile beacon that summons random animals to fight beside the druid over time. Life - an immobile minor healing beacon which heals allies slowly over time.
Death- an immobile beacon that deals negative energy dmg over time.

It would be great to see more druid spells, either brought in through kits or added to the standard druid class. The lack of true mastery of various components of nature or natural forces leaves druids sometimes, as stated above, casting the same spells over and over, most of them mechanically necessary but have very little flavor. Some of the spells druids do get access to are pretty much never  used because they just aren't that good namely; Entangle, Charm, Hold animal, Dominate animal and Quillfire. If you do decide you want to use other spells  you just don't have the slots to spare (especially if you're a summoner and most notably 2nd circle ). Having said all that I find that the key to a good and enjoyable druid is to come up with your own flavor and adjust your spells accordingly where possible, you don't always get the best of whats on offer or for survival but I find it makes playing a druid a bit more interesting. I think perhaps the best way would be to make some basic kits with differing spells, nothing too fancy, just some thematic spells and abilities.

Couldn't agree more with this idea, A+

PC & GSID - Araneidae

I found a "Dark Mushroom on a Stick" in the random quest "Fungi and Mushrooms" The item has restrictions which I meet but when I attempt to equip the item I get the "slot disabled" message. I've tested the item with someone else's PC who is the same class as me and it works fine.



EDIT: Upon further investigation it appears that either this item, another item or both are bugged or otherwise marked as something they are not/ marked to disable the wrong item. I have an item which disables helmets which in fact disables the "Moon on a Stick" or the stick is marked as a helmet, either way, I can't use both.

I have to agree, if your natural skill before roll is higher than the climb DC then on rolling a 1 you should either succeed the climb (You almost slip but your skill in climbing saves you as you grab a hand hold and climb up) or perhaps on a re-rolled skill check, you fall but take no or greatly reduced damage. (You slip and fall but manage to land quite skillfully, saving yourself from any serious injuries). It can be quite annoying to have a PC with high 50's or more in natural climbing skill and invest EFUSS points only fail a DC 12 climb and take heavy damage, understandably you might be carrying a lot of gear which would add to the damage of falling but it just feels a little harsh and out of balance with many other systems.

P.S I too have had instant deaths from climbing, not fun.

Any existing Elves, Mourning or otherwise, who think their Pc's would like to get back in touch with their wild side are more than welcome to contact us IG or on IRC #keepers.

Welcome, have fun and guard your coffee.

Sometimes shifting (to Shark) before you dive in can help.

Time for something new. Thoroughly enjoyed playing Nuria, thanks to everyone who interacted with her, especially the Under Blades. I have a bunch of screen but well, they're mostly filled with fire, here's one for the road at least.

 

See you on the next one.

100% self serving. A Flaming throne from the plane of fire which is perhaps deployable.
