All bows are underrated in D&D and NWN.

There are not many that choose to take armor proficiency as a wizard or sorcerer, so we are talking about a very tiny minority here.

May be more then you think. Not all characters are single class. Toss in one level of something that can wear leather and you have the light armor feat and whatever else that class comes with.
 
(I have a wizard/bard ;) )

Each persons idea of memorable is their own. All that matters is if you're having fun and it's memorable to you.

As far as successful. Again, one persons definition of this may differ from anothers. Successful to me is making a PC that is fun and doesn't know what the fugue looks like. Others think going to the fugue means nothing and their PC's change the server but they are immortals that died 99 times in doing so. Now if you can have fun, change the server and do it with single digit deaths you are accomplishing something IMO.

(I still feel it should be a Con point loss instead of XP for death.)

[have fun!]

Power, levels, goals, blah, blah, blah, this that and the other thing...
 
It's a game, have fun! The more fun you're having with your PC the more others will enjoy RPing with it and the more memorable that character will be. IF you're not having fun then neither will the players around your PC and they will find another PC to have FUN with and your un-fun PC is forgotten.
 
Smile and the world smiles with you, frown and you frown alone.

You just need to make sure you're close enough and are flagged as a faction member.

I wish I had a dime for every time I heard this. I believe it was Talir that IG/IC could not "flag" my PC for that rest area. It made the PC in question (who had an "agenda" and personality) a bit useless. Even rattle shack guild houses have rest areas and they're not (as Dash so nicely put it)

filled with cool shit and history from the beginnings of the server. Not to mention its own quest and various NPCs.

Sorry, but I am a member and player here (or was). Weather anybody else has done what I have or not is besides the point. At least one player (me) has abandoned the Syndicate due to the DM's having more important things to do than care about a random PC's needs.

Ya know what... nm, not worth it...

I think Meldread brings up some good points myself...
 
Only MhO but... I made a PC specifically to join the Syndicate and be my main only to find out they had no spawn point and couldn't rest. Can somebody tell me what good a wizard faction that can't rest is worth? Sorry, not going to pay 10 gold a pop to use spells in a RP situation. It's one thing to do it before or after questing but not every time you use simple spells for RPing something. When brought up in threads and to DM's it always got a "Will look into it" response. So my Syndicate PC faded away.
 
As far as NPC's. Umm.. How about throwing one or two at the PC factions. (Tell me again how many NPC's the Steel Fists have?) It wouldn't hurt to toss an NPC into some of the more active or longer lived PC factions or maybe even a cool new PC faction concept that got DM attention from the get-go like the Bitch-Queen thing. I mean come on, DM factions start out with dozens and we're told they're needed only to have PC faction have to beg and kiss ass to get any at all or even one.

IMO the Stygians are fine, they're tested to be recruited, well armed and armored soldiers and supposedly behind the scenes dealing with verying conflicts all the time. My beef would be about dock thugs. Quite frankly a 5th or 6th level PC should not have to be afraid of a single "thug" in the dock district, yet the dock thugs can stand up to the well armed and armored, trained and tested Stygians. That's ridiculous, plain and simple. If the "thug" is special give him a name as warning "pipe smoking thug" or something but basic thugs and fishermen and crap should not be over 4th level. Hell 4th level is even high for an unarmored, untrained person that picked up a club and calls himself a thug. Thugs and ruffians are about their numbers NOT their individual strength.

Got a Rat virus in my home computer Sunday night :mad:. (I've been posting from work.) Taking longer than I hoped to clean it out, I hope to have Cricket back in game soon.

The Netherese used names like Nethril, Asram, Anauria and Hlondath for their cities.
I like thes suggestions:
Trenada
