I always thought it was strange that Mugwump was always described as a race with a keen intellect but didn't have any higher Int than alot of other races to make them seem more intelligent. Also how come they can DIVE under water, but can't breathe under it? strange

Because many frogs can swim underwater quite well, but can't breathe underwater? confused.gif

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*


I only know of three female ones form Serenwilde, and I doubt they'd be happy with loosing con, cause hive is used so little. There's Qistrel and one other Hartstone druid who's name has temporarily slipped my mind (apologies). And now Harkux, a Spiritsinger.

Think the name you are looking for is Alianna. tongue.gif

Any comments on making enrage STR bonus not weighted? dribble.gif



Imo: Taurian's are very well balanced overall. The level 1 magic pen is easily offset by high skill in Magic and proofs. Lvl 1 health regen is decent, as it supplements sipping/sparkles/scrolls/mercy and regeneration from Athletics if you ever use it. Electricity seems to be the damage mod rune of choice and I think druids also have a kind of lightning attack in their demense (totally not sure) so it's a decent racial passive, even if you never see it in PvE. Lvl 2 Cutting resistance buffs you against 3/4 of warrior specs, druids, and a large amount of PvE dmg sources. High str and con, okay dex, and int/cha scores that don't make you totally mana/ego kill fodder. From an Orclach players perspective, you're much better off than I am. I might be tougher overall, but you've definitely got the stat advantage.

Now, with all that said, I'd support Enrage giving a +2 unweighted, just because I'm a supporter of the Power Warrior movement. It'll probably never get past the Admins, but I'd root for you happy.gif

Subj: Racial Tweaks

The stat curve for damage modification has been adjusted once again so
it is parabolic (instead of 5% per level) and curves from 12-60 to a
maximum of 61%.

NEW: Tae'dae : Heal faster from elixirs, level 1
INCREASE : Lucidian : Intellgience 15

Also, taurian enrage +2 strength is no longer a DMP buff but directly
raises strength.


Where's the Trill love? Wheeeere

Edit: I know they're not gonna get more int, but, something? Let them speak Lucidian, too (but that would constitute a change in the "Racial talk"

The trill love has been shown countless times.

As far as the new curve goes, will do tests in a sec.

Nice! I actually plan on changing race to try this out happy.gif

countless times? They got some charisma and an influence boost in one type of influence battle that no one uses.

Edit: Not that i don't appreciate what they did get, but instead of being good at one thing, and bad at another, they're "meh" at everything.
Desitrus2008-05-01 19:54:00
Taurian still weighted.
Eventru2008-05-01 19:58:05
And now the changes should be live!

** The announced changes to stat bonuses, lucidian intelligence, tae'dae sip,
and taurian enrage are now live! **

Trill got the charisma boost. tongue.gif Trill got prettier, lucidians got smarter.

Oh, boo yeah! Thank you, Divine, for giving the Tae's back their sip!
Doman2008-05-01 20:07:54
I suppose they did get prettier, but pretty doesn't bring home the starsuckers

Show them a bit of leg, sway those hips a bit, use that level 2 seduction bonus! They might be clamouring to get into your home then. wink.gif
