Someone has to say this. TN for too long has been the go to alignment to basically bypass virtually all Protection from alignment spells and max on spells DC/get through mind spells. Making TN the strongest alignment. In particular for infamous PHK illusionists that conveniently happen to pick a side. Make protection from neutrality a spell. Will this make the current trend of casting PFG, PFE, PFL, and PFC replaced by PFE, PFG, PFN, letting casters ward themselves against all 3 big alignment groups?

I say restore honour and put an end to TN being a powergamer alignment. Its BS that all alignment can effectively be countered by 2 protection from alignment spells but TN can only be countered by clarity (Assuming that its only mind spells AC and save bonuses non existent.)

Or maybe I need to role up a TN Scythe wielding Crit x4 Guardian all about "maintaining balance" and bypass everyones nice PFA protections. I sincerely don't think this is something EFU needs and it'd be lame as hell. But in the name of making a mockery of protection from alignment as it stands it may need to be done. Or maybe a good explanation can be given on why True Neutral is so powerful that they deserve to bypass every other alignments trump spell?

I know potions of radical soul exist, but I see no reason it can't be a spell/buff widely available like every other form of protection from alignment spell/items that do protection from alignment.

I wouldn't mind if protection from 'True Neutral' was part of what Protection from Law / Protection from Chaos covered so people aren't needing to expend extra spellslots than they normally would have.

Well, someone isn't being jolly, I see.

Anyway this is something the team has already discussed about (weeks ago) and I imagine we'll have something along those lines down the road, but I don't believe it will happen right now.

The reason it is not a spell is quite simple - Bioware never made such a spell. Adding new spells is time-consuming (and quite a dull process), and while new spells will be added, it is still the choice of the team on what to focus on.

I suggest to avoid making PCs to try and force our hands into changing stuff you don't approve regarding the mechanics or the server, I don't believe it will be fun for you or others, and I'm quite sure it won't end well for you.


Happy holidays!
