I'm not really sure I understand. If there is a problem with /c yank_pack, then make a rule regulating its use. As the esteemed DRD has just shown, nebulous courtesy suggestions are not going to do anything.

Again, that isn't really a good response to the suggestion... as I addressed in the post immediately before yours....

Even if mind-affecting spells were the only concern, which they are not (+2 saves, +2 ac), Clarity's duration is a great deal shorter than Protection from Alignment, and more expensive as well.

Surely in this case, Orcus (the so-called "master of undead") should have an avatar that is counted as undead

Arguments:

1. Protection from Alignment is a level 1 spell that is able to protect against every single alignment other than True Neutral. This makes True Neutral characters, particularly ones that cast mind spells but this holds true in general, immensely stronger than any other character with a different alignment. This is common knowledge, of course, but all the same I don't believe this is desirable.

2. Potions of Protection from X may be purchased for a smaller amount of gold (a significant amount smaller) than Potions of a Radical Soul from NPC vendors. Again, I don't believe this is desirable.

3. While I am sure that the DM team takes all of this into account when they look over PCs, and shifts characters accordingly, that can't possibly cover every single PC. It would be more effective to simply incorporate something like this into the module.

4. Barring the rare druidic exception True Neutral isn't a particularly difficult alignment to play and is in fact an alignment lots of people pick when they don't really have an alignment in mind. I'm not sure the "apathetics" of the world, those who don't take a stance or a stand, should be rewarded for that with the immense benefits they get (only very rarely being effected by +2 on saves, +2 ac, and immunity to mind spells is definitely immense). This is an extremely subjective argument but it's how I feel.

Conclusion:

I'm thinking that the server would be better served if, at the very least, potions of a radical soul were made available at the same price as its good and evil counterparts at NPC vendors. Preferably, they would be made brewable, and the option to cast a 'protection from neutrality' spell added, but I'm honestly not sure whether that's possible at this point. I welcome anyone else's opinions. :)

Bug Reports / Lower Salvage
April 24, 2015, 02:52:51 AM
A lot of the lower salvage placeables are impossible to reach, and they could probably stand with being moved. They are blocked by various other placeables like rubble and broken chairs. This is most evident in the Southern Alleyways, by the goblin bones.
