Re: Spell / Phantasm re-work

I'm relatively certain that Lethality only applies to weapons, by the way (as opposed to spells). Why not just have Illuminate break stealth? The way you have it is a bigger nerf to Mag/Cun stealthy Shadowblades. Honestly your idea would make me even less likely to pick up the Phantasm tree on Archm...

Re: Why not more randomness?

There's no reason you couldn't use a normal distribution in the way that he says. You don't have to normalize spike damage at the average. For instance, you can normalize at one standard deviation above the average. You can also crop the distribution in such a way that anything outside one standard ...

Re: Newbie First Impressions

1. I find it extremely odd mages are locked from new players on the onset - alchemists aren't user friendly. But that's okay I guess, I mean, the game is highly replayable.

Re: Den of Thieves

The lockpicking example is just an example of how the roguelike element of the game would be utilized. In the game proper there would be some combat, but I wanted to make it extremely difficult to just mass murder everyone. I secretly want to demonstrate how the roguelike playing style can be used f...

Den of Thieves

The title is a work in progress. Concept The idea of the module is to build an RPG with some mini-games that are roguelike.
