I disagree with most of what you listed here.  In fact I think some sort or perk system or a revamp of the monk stances would be much better though I understand time consuming to make when DMs could be making other things.

What I do agree on is that a class that's in cloth fighting and dodging probably should get uncanny dodge, it just never made sense to me really.

That said monks are sort of a challenge but extremely powerful.

Greetings, greeting.  Live and drink.

I have come to Ephias Well the great Jewel of the Desert on a pilgrimage.  Your temple is quite the sight.  Impressive, wet, and moist.  Though in my short time here I've noticed much suffering of the common folk and darkness that lurks just beyond your borders.  I will stay to wander these parts to offering healing and comfort spiritually as I also visit the holy sites of the area.

I wish to meet any of the faithful who might call this place home.

HB always out to have fun, DMing or playing random PCs to drag people around into content.  Always patient and nice to every player no matter what, I like that.

Glad you're still around HB!!

If one class gets it why not, my fighter could use two feats at 5 too

Honestly I think barbarian should only gain their class ability DI in light armor.  Allow them to wear any armor  if they want but they only gain the DI from the gear at that point. 

It's a bit absurd they can get 40-50% DI plus elemental DI plus an extra feat at level 5 plus all the other barbarian perks like huge hp and rage.

Perhaps lightening restrictions on alignment for various classes.  It has already been done for barbarians and bards I believe.

I could see Druids of all alignments.  Is the class really keeping balance anymore?

I could see monks of all alignments except chaotic.

Not sure what others think but it might open up some new concepts.

Also in regards to 'faction RP power' the Rose hold the power over pretty much all questing.  Thats immense IC and OOC.

Anyways.  My point might be to rebalance the other factions basic gear if not boosting the Fourth Legions?  Though that seems like a backwards step.

My suggestion is to give all the armor types +1 ac at least.

The reasoning is that they are a faction involved usually heavy in PvP conflict.  Also it is a faction so some reward / incentive should be there.  Their armors are massive downgrades.  I understand you get perks for joining in the RP sense.

It's odd to me the Banda and Balladeers can wear all the elite quest armor and just dye it at association level.  They can even wear helmets and such.  While also getting RP perks of the faction.

Sergeant armors already have far more perks / bonus over the default.  There's a very large gap I feel.

Even the college armors have +1 and are really really nice and that's a basically community college.

It's ok some quests are easy and some are hard.  You can do max 9 quest at lower levels too.

Perhaps one day DMs will revamp quests to change them a bit.  Who knows. 

Greetings Old Friend.

I write to understand how sponsorship on the Stele works.  There are 'groups' now who I would barely call a group at all.  More like a small gathering of lovers friends.  Self proclaimed scouts and small operation force yet are rarely if ever seen in the field by those who spend a great deal of time all over the Great Ring and beyond.  Personally I just don't understand perhaps.  Is it a political move?

I propose a new amendment or perhaps a law that will outline the actual requirements for an organization to become sponsored on the Stele.

1. Have and maintain at least 5 members, excluding a commanding officer.

2. Have a clear stated charter declaring your duties to Ephias Well.

3. Actively maintain your sworn duties under any conditions or adversity.

4. Have an active headquarters of operations.

I will continue to work on this but I plan to bring this matter up at the next Assembly.

I don't get the removal of the ability for small races.  They already have a disadvantage of being KDed because of size yet lose any advantage being small like an ac bonus or ab bonus.  You can also only use small weapons further lessening damage given and max a medium weapon two handed.

Since people play 20 dex halfling all small races / build should be yoinked?  You already have -2str making you less than other races for any class except a 20 dex halfling.

I think it should be reversed and if the concern is people jacking up one stat to the max maybe there are other ways to address it?

Greetings.

Ah thank you for explaining it to me.  I understand this will be a prolonged conflict.  I'm eager to fight and do my part once more.

I've fought with Sergeant Ashworth many times.  He is very inspiring and a worthy warrior to lead.  I would follow him into the most deadly and dangerous battles.  He's a true battle brother.  That's the sort of person you need as the true Field Commander.  I think many would agree.

May Agaslakku be with us in the coming times.

Hello.

I'm writing to ask for historical reference and accuracy, how many battles or engagements has the the Field Commander actually participated in?

So far I've heard that it's a big zero that she's been in the field commanding anything.  I'm maybe confused about the position.  Does one actually have to lead men and women in battle or is it merely a ceremonial position that one uses to boast over about over bellow?

Perhaps I am misinformed so I  eagerly await to be corrected. 

I hope to follow a true inspiring leader who is on the field with the men risking their life.

Hello.

We spoke a bit before but you're a busy man.  I still seek a master to apprentice under and it's spoke around Ephias Well that you're the best.

How can I prove myself worthy to apprentice under you?  I'd like to learn the ways of engineering and tinkering.  That is if you wish to take someone under your tutorage.
