A couple of Bard issues
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2010 5:51 pm
Right off the bat I can see a big problem with the Bard class: "Stop Singing" has a nonzero fail rate. That's pretty ridiculous.
Aside from that though, instruments' spell ranges being affected by their pvals strikes me as a very bad idea. Instruments are already uncommon items; to give them a pval requirement for certain spells is crazy, making useful instruments almost impossible to find.
Personally, I am of the school that instruments should have zero benefit aside from trhe musical spells they provide, with said spells not requiring pval.
Oh, also... I know this isn't going to generate a lot of responses, seeing as ToME2 is considered a dead end. But there are some seriously broken classes in ToME2, and let's face it, T3 isn't going to be beta quality for a while. So I think we ought to be doing more than just "maintenance" on T2 and actually fixing some of the major balance issues.
