Of course I didn’t make it. Found it and posted it here. Thought it’d give a chuckle!

We don’t have classes. You are what your skills/spells are.

So pick the wild-kin and learn the skills that’d mimic a Druid.

over 71 discussions here!

@gofrit The problem in general that I have seen is that torches are merely a highlight of where the people who are ignorant are, unless there are actually big disadvantages to moving through the dark without one.

The big advantage to the truly dark screen, is that people work around that to see when it is not intended. Which makes it pointless.

So my note is that BOTH of those problems need addressed, or the entire idea of a dark night and light sources becomes rendered nothing but something to abuse.

humans have tech and you're not wanting them to have torches to signal where they are? pfff. I want every human to have a torch!

In today's PIL (pill?) we're going to show everyone tiger-kin concept art.

@boogis
Your completely ignoring the cost of a mount. We have survival mechanics, so should mounts. Not enough water or food and the may run away. Not enough attention and they may runaway or turn on the owner, etc.

There are no classes so it’s possible any race can learn shapeshifting if we have those abilities in game.

@boogis
Fighting still used foot troops because horses were expensive. Hence why I keep stating it.

There were strategies developed to dismount the rider and/or disable the mount.

there's more to mounted combat than just pikes. Nearly every weapon and spell could be used on a mount.

Now getting the mount comfortable with your attacks.. Oh that's the secret.

yes not only spears but spear could be like anti-mount weapon, this could be for warriors but also mages could have a special spell and archers as well.

the main idea for balance what i suggest is that you will deal lot less damage on mount then on feet. so you would have to choose either you wanna keep your horse (and run away/fight) or you wanna jump on your feet and fight in full straighth. what is your oppinion? isnt it a balance which would help?

mounted combat should do more damage. it's the reward for getting a mount and learning how to fight on it. Problem will be the amount of people targeting you to demount you. And again the cost of combat mounts should be very high. if you do reduced damage while mounted then what's the point of mounted combat!

@boogis @Prometheus
Mounted combat could be a knowledge tree set. Then there's the anti-mount knowledge tree set (or some skills added to the existing groups). Crafting potential is there too. Saddles, stirrups, bolas, etc. Some ranks of spells/abilities could dismount players. An option to target the mount or player could be introduced (skill shots i know but there's still an axis to aim low or high). Then there's food, maintenance, etc.

I'd make mounted combat pretty expensive within the game economy. That would be the balance I'd strive for. They're powerful on the field but if you lose one then you're out a few (this is high) gold.

@kellewic
To me that Cleric was a new mechanic which I haven't seen. Though it was interesting, it sucked to level up though.

I did love the Savage in DAoC where you spent HP to empower attack or some just wouldn't work without spending HP. I can't remember if there was an ability that leeched.

@prometheus
That’s what expansions or content patches are for!

I’d love to see mounted combat for the main reason it isn’t prevalent in video games.

As a demon cook will I be able to deep fry my human and beast kills ?

Ahah that's not planned really, it would be a little too much You'll be able to do enough evil deeds already!

It would fit the RP very well. Humans eat animal meat all the times, demons would eat anything that didn’t eat them first.

@azraelius

I loved the cleric in Neverwinter Online. It would do damage to creatures but would also do small healing to nearby melee players.

If someone knows how to heal they also know how to kill.

@gothix
I'm pretty sure there's a book written with some insight to the gods. Not to mention these gods are pretty close to the followers so they'd probably step in and say or do something.

It doesn't have to be all skills but a few would be neat to have alignment locked.

why would a god of life be ok with a follower using necromancy? Why would a god of death be ok with a follower using life spells?

I like it BUT what if they were execution moves.

@crystalisrc

what's the website url?

@boogis
We don't know anything about the skills for taming.
