"Any racial skills of the target’s current race are lost but skills specific to the new race may be gained in their place depending on the inner strength of the spirit. In addition the target loses any skills that are more difficult to learn. The transforming player may relearn any skills lost...

As a mid level (25) who adventures with high levels (30-45), I have at times felt I was not as effective as them. This has very little to do with level, and far more to do with the number of magic items they have amassed, compared to me. More defenses to allow them to drive deeper into the enemy...

Is a Mark ritual cast upon the Spirit visible, or detectable by any means other than by Identification in a Celestial Circle or a Lore Ritual. The ritual states; "If the Mark is on a spirit it will always be on that body part containing the spirit if parts of the body are separated." That...

The Curse of Undeath ritual states: "This ritual may not be transferred by any means and is unaffected by the transfer enchantment ritual." Yet it also states: "A Transfer Enchantment may be used to transfer the bottle to another item with another function such as a weapon." Considering that...

What is the purpose of a Transform to Greater Undead ritual forcing a PC to become a Plot controlled NPC for the duration of the ritual? Does becoming Plot controlled, mean I even get a say as to what my character does, do I have to check in with Plot before each event to see what my characters...

The difficulty here is defining what "Best" means. If it means able to deal the most damage - I would say Fighter with C-Scholar right behind. The rogue could be up there, but rarely has the opportunity to get behind in all fights. If it means has the most abilities to use during an event -...

All I really care is that Celestial and Earth are generally balanced, getting rid of Golems goes a long way towards that, but not far enough. Earth gaining a wand or Celestial losing one makes no difference to me, and the only place I feel it does matter is in a discussion debating caster vs...

While I like the idea. This would only expand the divide in strength between Celestial and Earth casters and Templars. If Earth gets wands, if Champion of the Living gets the same ability to use their sword as a wand and Oak of the Arcane is made a general High Magic, then This change would be...

I am, that is why I brought up the idea of modifying the Specialist path. If the concern is that Specialist is not set up to deal with reversible spells, then just add Earth and Necro separately. Allowing the earth caster to Specialize into either earth or necromancy. Thus they only receive the...

Under that logic, paragon in their current form should be removed entirely and we should get back to focusing on making the core rules more streamlined. A prospect I am for 100% for. It would be far better to have paragon abilities such as what is listed in many paragon powers available to be...

Right there with you on the paragons not being that great. Yet that is the point of these rules discussions, to try and make them better, so that when they do become the rules of the game they are better rules for everyone, and in turn make the game better for more players than it does now.

Had the intention been to display pedigree, that would be true, yet the intention was to preface, a frame of reference. (i.e. 20 years) That would take changing the touchcasting requirements of Healers resolve, as well as "Healer". Yet that would in fact be an effective way to allow for a...

They don't have to add a paragon path, they would only need to add Earth/Necromancy to the specialist paragon options. They could even get rid of elementalist and add Evocation to the Specialist options

I would disagree that non-healer earth casters are a niche role. In all the years that I have played, over 20 now, at least half if not closer to 70% of earth casters want to be offensive, yet the social structure of Alliance corners them into being heal batteries for others. The fact is earth...

The main problem with the "Healer" in this capacity it that the healers resolve pool, while it can be used for chaos, it may only be touch cast, so useless in combat, except to heal your half body skeletons, that still only swing for 2. So healers resolve will likely go entirely into converting...

The fact that Death will be a curse now, and thus can kill things it never could before, really makes the point that Paralyze as a curse should be treated as a curse, and not its own special spell.

The necromancy side of earth casting should never be taken into consideration as to balancing its power, considering Necromancy is illegal per the rules and will never be publicly useful unless you want your character to be hunted down and killed by everyone. Also if lesser undead have more...

Destroy undead is a 7th level spell. This spell will destroy any one lesser undead creature. Greater undead will take 50 Body Points of damage. Under the current write up for 0.9, I could cast that or cast a 7th level cure spell that would deal 70 damage to an undead. I would hope that would...

Why is Earth and Necromancy not included in the specialist effect groups? Evocation I understand, there is the Elementalist, but the Healer is not comparable. Why is it assumed that all earth casters want to be light combat town healers, some of us would love to be undead exploding monsters, and...

I have discovered many discrepancies with the rituals listed on the forums and some changes that need to be made. I do not know if these are typos in the formal information posted, or are actual errors in the official write ups for each formal ritual. Blissful Rest Change Gypsy to Selunari...
