rip sweet prince, lorch was godfrey's #1 fan

Casters already have it rougher this chapter in PVP and I don't think that Clarity being easily accessible is a good thing for balance.

Brewing Clarity is cheaper than Haste and Displacement and is equally as important if not more. I think it is a fair investment for non-spellcasters.

I mean, the fact that these are equippable and have damage die is enough to cover most of these scenarios.

It does become tacky and undesirable in my opinion if we start getting characters who specialize in say, fighting with a  pipe.

There are some instances where I don't think it cheapens a concept; the broom mage, for example, or a paladin of the book who wields a holy text in combat, etc.

Though, someone specifically training to fight with an oar seems silly. Now, if your group was captured by lizardfolk, had their gear taken, and found makeshift weapons as a means to escape? Yeah, bring that type of RP on.

Make it +1 DC / 4 (or 5) Intimidate instead of 3.

Make the Fear also effect nearby allies/neutral PCs.

While I know there'd be faction issues, make it so that it only effects friendly/neutral/enemy PCs and only enemy NPCs.

I think it would be nice to see a starting portal that starts you directly in the Ponds, preferably at level 3 and with a key to ring 98.

Choosing this portal would make you unable to do the bulk of delivery quests in other hubs but allow for ponds specific low level quests.

I wouldn't mind Sorcerers being allowed to choose a Perk and a Bloodline. Some of which might synergize well one another and others being prohibited.

You could even have Prestige bloodlines.

Prestigious bloodlines?

Dragonblood
Otherblood
Warlock

I think it'd be cool if the gate was actually smashed open or there was a break in the wall to get in.

Those bloody savages who don't care for the king deserve it.

Very cool, Halfbrood. Some of the stats are pretty humorous as well.

The reason why Confusion fits well with a Mad Berserker is because he's liable to hit allies and foes alike as if he were in a maddened daze.

As it stands I don't think that Blindness adequately captures the feel of a berserker on the field. Being blind with rage doesn't imply one can't see but instead "sees red", going into a terrifying frenzy and unrestrained anger and chaos that even his friends might be swatted out of the way.

I would propose that Blindness be swapped with Confusion (1 round * level / 2) to better represent a Mad Berserker's unrelenting carnage on the field.

This would mean a level 8 barbarian would fall into 4 rounds of Confusion before (assuming the barbarian has 14 constitution) having 5 rounds of rage remaining afterward. To compensate for this maybe another -2 AC should be added onto the current -2 AC for a total of -4 AC during rage.

The vegepygmy spawns in the Underdark - Foul Hollows - Moldmire area were not hostile, all other spawns were.

No hostile NPCs spawned in the Russet Ravine or Castle Creep QAs. Loot chests were working fine as was questlog triggers. No combat log indicators of a bug upon enter or exit of the QAs or the Underdark - Foul Hollows - Moldmire area.

Get this implemented. A+

I don't really think that the problem of the Covenant is a lack of perks. I think it is more a problem of player interest and lack of a presence that never allows for what is possible in the Covenant to fully be realized.

With the barbican destroyed now is the perfect opportunity for this.
