This is very cool. I'm still going to mostly be ranged on my character since I figure that's more thematically appropriate, but I appreciate having the option to do otherwise. Perhaps this can be used to train the melee skill with spell attacks too?

I know it's practically heresy to suggest it, but I'd really, really like an NPC source for lockpicking. Maybe it's my time zone but when I'm on (which has been rare recently I'll grant you), I just never see anyone doing it, and I have so many lockboxes that the things take up every inch of ...

I agree with the general sentiment of the above insofar that certain skills are just kind of necessary or 'make sense' for training no matter who you are. Having played ultima way back in the day, which limited skill points thing of COGG seemed heavily based upon (disclaimer, I never played COGG ...

Quoting people is hard, so I'm just not going to bother with quotes. Here you go:

armor
You are wearing the following armor:

head: .... (leather) a leather helmet
neck: .... (leather) a leather gorget
torso: ... (leather) a leather cuirass
arms: .... (leather) some leather vambraces
hands ...

I'm not a two handed weapon user outside of the occasional glaive (I just like glaives), but I will stick my oar in and say yes, armor hindrance penalties are a pain. I trained in heavy armor up to the current soft cap when I normally only wear light armor, and even now I still have about a 23 ...

I've also been playing with this ability and its attached ability (Reflexive Channeling). And I love the ability for the RP and backdrop of magic that it is; namely that of using spooky cold nether magic as a shield rather than lugging an actual shield around. However, I do also have to agree with ...

Very cool, I look forward to seeing this Occult Proficiency stat in game, and how it comes to be intertwined with abilities and skills further.

Yes, thank you for your attention to the kerfluffle, Rias & the rest of the staff team.

Well, this is why I'd said to build on my prior suggestion; these things are additive, meant to work together.


Oh. This must be what they were talking about when they said I couldn't see the forest for the trees.
Well.
Carry on then. You have my full approval of armor set bonuses for magic ...

In the interest of Adresin's suggestion (and since we've belabored the point of the problem existing enough, I think) - to build on my last post; instead of hindrance penalty reductions for Rooks/Elemancers/Primalists, perhaps their 'armor specialization' provides a reroll bonus to the channeling ...

I imagine if Rooks and Elemancers and Primalists and any other class specialization is intended to be as proficient in armor use as the Combat Specializations, their class specs would give them a reduction to their armor hindrance penalties.


The issue at hand isn't that rook/elemancer ...

I'm just popping back in my own thread to gently point out that all of the Woes exhibited above also apply to light and medium armor users as well. It's not JUST a heavy armor problem; you will get nailed with severe negative rerolls in light armor too, especially if you actually want to stick ...

I had a multi-page long essay about armor use and how its currently impacting the game for the worse, but it was lost when the forum decided to sign me out when I clicked 'preview'.

I don't have the energy to try and retype the whole thing so this is the short version:

Failing armor use checks ...

Do we know roughly what difficulty of combat (I'm assuming that there will be a lot of this) this expedition will entail? As in, what skill levels for combat skills would be appropriate/acceptable for that location? Is this even something we can ask without breaking any rule?

I just don't want to ...

perhaps we could get message board objects in certain guild areas for communication within those guilds?


I've taken a guess at which place you meant and placed a post board there. Most, if not all, guilds should have a post board in their major hubs so if anyone knows of any other major guild ...

I don't know what the general mood is on this sort of thing, but perhaps we could get message board objects in certain guild areas for communication within those guilds? The same kind that are at the Shadgard center and market. I've had the opportunity to peek into at least one of these places and ...

Is there no current (Nov 1st, 2024) means of acquiring skills/abilities for this guild? Without revealing information, I know of two locations that are said to have training NPCs and both appear to be inaccessible. I've not found any way to start with relevant guild skills and assume there is some ...
