Recruiting IC with a core of 1-3 players for the concept would have been much more tasteful TBH.

Good luck though!

Only really viable on rangers and some other obscure multiclass builds.

Ideally they could just use Expertise, but I'm not positive on the scripting particulars.

The armchair generals who invariably lose all their PvP can spare me the tips.

Anyway, as I mentioned, this isn't a QQ thread at all. I do not mind at  all that I was defeated - I took a gamble with an odd spellset (yeah, I could have rocked dispels and holds, but how boring is that?), it  didn't pay off, such is life. I'm cool with that, really.

The PvP was only referenced as a joke more than anything. This  suggestion of making E/IE to +3/+6 to bring it in line with PnP is an old one and has been a concern  shared by DMs themselves. The whole thread is just a 'reminder' that IE  is still lame (working through holds, blocking touch attacks entirely, etc) and at least IMO should be  disabled until its fixed.

Well first of all your mad because someone with IE beat you... And ranting about it... There are so many ways to own someone with  IE it's not even funny. So saying it should be not allowed when it's obviously very well balanced seems like rage because you lost in pvp..

I'm not ranting, I succintly listed the reasons why IE is an unseemly feat and should be removed or changed. There was no 'rage' at all, and the PvP as inferred was merely a prompt to post about a balance concern I (and many DMs, and players who actually know what they're talking about - that's not you BTW)  have had for some time now.

I wasn't going to respond to the other uninformed replies in this thread but because you tried so hard to make me look stupid, I did. Resultantly, of course, you now look like a moron.

If you have a cool/successful PC faction you'll have no problem buying dyes so you can all have matching uniforms.

If you want to look truly unique, drop those $$$ on the custom armor. I see no reason to make custom armor cheap.

Agree with OP. This is just extremely annoying, and adds little.

First of all, being well-supplied is not related to how well you RP or how well you're involving others at all. I've had PCs who were far from my best be extremely supplied and I've had PCs who I consider my best relatively poor.

As touched upon briefly by Howland, staying well supplied is a result of efficiency. There is individual efficiency, which mostly is related to skill at NWN questing mechanics (positioning, buff management, etc) but the most important thing is quest party cooperation. Rather than functioning an 8 man free for all, the group pools it resources, allocates roles, and divides spoils in a way that benefits each character the most.

Possibly. Breston, are you a cleric?

Lag right now (13th Feb, 12PM AEST) is incredibly bad. Took literally a minute to enter the Gobsquat via conversation and a full 15seconds to sit in a chair.

Bump!

Can the DMs please ban Egon from the Suggestion forum altogether?

I'm aware. Didn't think I had to mention that I didn't move or try any actions!

Yo, I think its time we had a look at this feat.

- Gives +10 stacking AC immediately upon activation
- Can be used when held
- Works vs touch attacks (ranged AND melee)
- Can be activated while walking, thus making closing the distance against ranged opponents a no-brainer
- Makes every duel boring
- Works in conjunction with Taunt, meaning often that over half the AB penalty for using it is negated
- Allows for basically breezy questing (without actually assisting the party very well)

I suggest that IE is either disabled compeltely or the E/IE gets readjusted to +3/+6 AC to make it less of a disgusting feat.

...

TLDR: I got owned in a duel by a guy with Improved Expertise today which reminded me how much of a dirty, wretched feat it really is. :)
