Is there a way we can add some dex to the Female Kephera? The dex of the Females are horrible for anyone that wants to play a female Kephera monk. I personally don't understand the difference aside from females getting Hive Mind, but I don't see geting an extra 50 health per person in the hive a good trade off of dealing damage, wounds, etc on a physical level.

Just a thought as I considered changing to kephera right before the changes when in, and decided that it's not worth it to go from 17 dex to 9 dex just to try to work in guild RP of the Shofangi.

After playing with Illithoid for a while, illdrain is awesome but it's rather frustrating that they have to bash constantly just to reach their full stat potential, something that no other race has to do. I think it would be overall beneficial to both:

1. Increase how much ego you get per corpse (I'm thinking about double the current rate)
2. Make the bonus ego only decay when you are online

The entire point is that females don't DO physical labor. They're the queens, the thinkers, and men are the warriors.

And an eq bonus and the ability to buff ourselves with cloth, which gives us the ability to TRANSFIX people outdoors in sunlight!

Hmm, maybe Estarra could give us a list of things are WILL NOT happen, so we can stop pining for them (like a trill racial language.
Unknown2008-04-30 23:42:06
Examples of things I see we want:

1) Tae'Dae sip bonus
2) Trill language
3) Lucidian int buff
4) Instant win button for Rian

I think that's all. wink.gif

Int buff won't happen for the same reason Trill won't either. Hallifax. They don't get buffed now cuz they'd have to be nerfed later.

Well that's all well and good and very understandable.. but I wouldn't be apposed to losing up to 2 Con and putting it in Dex and assuming that of course you can get enough Kephera in the same area to Hive with this shouldn't effect Females all that much.
Doman2008-04-30 23:49:13
Exactly, you're asking for something for free.

"hey, Give me 2 dex, I don't mind losing 2 con because I can make the health back with a hive.
Sahra2008-05-01 00:29:12
No what I meant was, that if you can get that many people that happen to be Keph in the same place first off, secondly not already in another's hive, then it wouldn't upset current female kephs...

Now, I'm sorta new.. been here 2 weeks or so total, but not once have I seen a Kephera player, male or female... maybe I'm not in the right places... *shrug*
Unknown2008-05-01 00:34:13
Slightly off topic,

Sahra, you can do a RWHO when you're in-game to see all the members of your race that are online at the moment in time. Just so you know. wink.gif If you already knew that, please ignore this message as it is redundant and stupid. Thank you!

Disclaimer: Not that you will find some kephera, as I don't know what the population is like, but you know... thought I'd tell you anyway.

Unsure of whether or not dwarf alcohol testing was conducted. I never read this whole thing. But here's my results. 0 magic DMP, No robes, no proofs. Dwarf has level 2 magic resistance. So I compared it to orclach who also has level 2 magic resistance. Keep in mind that Dwarves can

Merian have 16 Int and they're a spec race.
Mugwump, Elfen, Faeling, and female Kephera all have 15 Int.
Lucidian are tied with Dracnari, Aslaran and Illithoid at 14 Int.

Given then history of the Elder Gods, I don't think that really makes sense, but that's just me.

Plus, when is Hallifax going to realistically come out? Right.

Hey, I'm merely quoting Morgfyre.
Celina2008-05-01 04:21:22
I do love being tae'dae. Too bad it sucks for combat.

I think the sip bonus needs to be added back, perhaps a little lower at level 2. Alternatively, add a lvl 2 health regen or something.
Malarious2008-05-01 08:56:01
Lucidians are going to be a spec race so they wont be usable prespec so much (though they already are).

They have 14 con and 14 int, thats a very nice combination and multiple resists (though blunt weaknes would kill).

So dont expect them to get love at the moment Sarra sad.gif
