Stormlords

[shorn]

"Stormlords wield thunder and lightning like a warrior wields his sword. Because of their command of one of the most destructive aspects of nature, Stormlords are viewed with awe and fear by lesser folk, regardless of their motivation.

A Stormlord is a kind of battle cleric. The character continues to develop her divine spellcasting without any loss of spell levels or spells per day, gains several nice bonuses to certain weapons, and exceptional resistance to electrical damage. The weapon bonuses apply only to Stormlord weapons, meaning the Spear, Throwing axe, Dart, and Shuriken. Clerics tend to make the best Stormlords, but most any divine spellcasting character will be able to unlock the class."

This is the Neverwinter Nights 2 description of the stormlord, unaffiliated with Talos as a god, but clearly relating to the destructive power of storms.

So, the question is, do you think a Stormlord in neverwinter nights 2 should be a follower of Talos, or not?

[highwayman]

Personally I think it should be required.

If someone Wants to wield that power, then stick to the origional template.

[adzling]

i agree highwayman.
and what's more there should be NO drow stormlords!!!
There is no thunder and lightning in the UD!

[caveman282]

I whole heartedly agree that stormlords should follow talos. We all know how well nwn2 was designed...

[Jiszo]

I agree for the most part. but there are a few other dieties that I would think should be allowed as well. hhmmm, no drow stome lords, makes sense but I think they should be allowed only if they have a really good rp reason to why they are one. and that shouldnt be limited to just drow but all UD races

[shorn]

Well, if we get a few more like this, perhaps we should request it be added into the hak we have as a requirement. Additionally, I also agree with the drow statement, for the most part.

[highwayman]

The drow are free to choose the oozemaster template. haha.

[Jiszo]

lol. yes. thats what i've always wanted to be. A big globe of ooze.

[DM haunted]

Well everyone knows how I feel...Talos

[sen]

Talos should definetely be a requirement to the Storm Lord class, in the same way as the doom guide requires to follow Kelemvor (which would probably be rather Myrkul in our case, but fortunately we haven´t upgradged to SoZ yet so we don´t have to bother with this right now )

[zoombee]

Yes Tslos should be a must have if someone is planing to be a stormlord
there isnt a good enough reason rp wise unless they dont know they must follow Talos wich was my case

but look at it this way maybe a Drow could be good if he had a good enough reason rp wise
now we wouldnt want that right ?

[adzling]

you must be careful with "good drow".
They should be EXTREMELY rare and if not properly kept in check by the players (killing drow on the surface on sight) and the dm staff soon the surface will be overrun with drizz't clones.
It happened on my last server and it resulted in much inanity.
At one point half the server was drow.

cheesemasters love "good" drow.

[Forumlord of Talos]

Page 203 of Faithes and Pantheons clearly states as follows

Stormlords

Stormlords are the chief agents of the Destroyer's wrath, inflicting destructive rampages wherever they wander in order to spread word of his endless fury.

The Destroyer is another name given to Talos.

PnP makes it pretty cut and dry. There is really no reason to question this further

You cant buck the system just cuz you want goodie goodie cheez

[mrdeadman]

I agree. All must bow before the power of the fury that is Talos!

[adzling]

thank gawd that we're not hearing from the "oh noos i want to play a stormlord of tyr!" folks.

cut the cheese not the RP.
