Basic Game Mechanics. It would be nice to have info on all these changes posted in one spot so new players have an idea on the character restrictions and have basic guidelines on how to build there character for this server.

As far as i know, the only basic game mechanics changes that have been done are restricting the RDD class.
I agree thou, such changes especially if there in the future will be more, should be listed probably.

Yeah so far we have only restricted RDD. Hopefully that will be it but I can't say for certain. Keep in mind we are new to the PW business and learning as we go.
A lot of PWs have the benifit of running a NWN PW in the past. I never played NWN, much less on a NWN PW, so a lot of the things that some PWs have figured out I'm still learning about. Luckily Otomo has some experience working on a NWN PW and that has helped me a ton.

Do ECL's work properly in that say your ECL is 3 then your max level would be 27?

Do ECL's work properly in that say your ECL is 3 then your max level would be 27? The max level will still be 30, it just takes a lot more xp's to get there. The ECL in the game is basically implemented as a huge penalty at level 1, and then (ECL+level)x1000 more xps for each level after that. Here are some of the numbers if you're interested: ECL 0 is 1000 to reach level 2, 3000 for level 3, 6000 for level 4, 10000 for level 5. ECL 1 is 3000 to reach level 2, 6000 to reach level 3 ECL 2 is 6000 to reach level 2, 10000 to reach level 3 ECL 3 is 10000 to reach level 2, 15000 to reach level 3. To reach level 30: ECL 0 needs 465000 ECL 1 needs 496000 ECL 2 needs 528000 ECL 3 needs 561000 If I remember correctly, in the original campaign, it was done such that ECL penalty characters were always behind other party members and you could not reach level 20 if you had an ECL penalty. (they had an XP cap) I believe that restriction was removed with MoTB because you could start at any level, yet the npc's were started at a static level. (they switched to a level cap) So in this PW, an ECL class could end up with more xps than a non-ecl, but they would still be the same level. (this gives them more power due to racial advantages, but at a steeper cost) |
