Custom PrC's

[thaelis]

Hey don't know if anyone has suggested this yet but were you thinking of adding any custom classes? If so this pack by Kaedrin seems pretty good....although I think some of them are way overpowered i.e. Swiftblade WTF?!!

I think adding more diversity is always a good thing as long as the overpowered classes are weeded out...

I have used this before in single player. I enjoyed Hellfire Warlock, personally. However, I would vote against this because it involves overrides, which are notorious for causing errors, and apparently if you patch a game with files in your override directory it messed up. Which is completely dumb if you ask me because upgrading to a newer patch should NOT check the folders you have stored in your MyDocuments folder.

[thaelis]

I think there are multiple versions and only the single player version uses overrides. Then again I could be wrong...Jus a suggestion anyway if the builders dnt like it they can just say NO in big capital letters with lots of angry faces

[radium]

NO





(lol.)

Seriously, my 2c: The best server I played on for NWN1 didn't use anything bar CEP. The other one I played on used multiple haks, so many that it was hard to keep up, and deterred many players from joining. HAKs/Addons/Overrides will generally slow down the game as well, and they can actually lag a server if too many players have overrides. I read an article on it on the vault.

haha classy. it still rocks 4 single player though!! cheers

If we do add custom PrCs then it won't be for a while because right now the devs are busy trying to add new content and finish up existing ones. Once the server is stable and large and everything is in place - then we'll start focusing on the add-ons and extra stuff that comes along with it. Personally I love PrC's, its just right now might not be a great time to put them in - because the server is still trying to fix bugs so we can get out of Beta.

Yeah I brought this up a loooooong time ago, but as Sojourn has already said the Dev's are more worried about bringing you a finished product than adding in more stuff. This may be added in later or our own custom classes, but for now enjoy the ones you have and just wait around a bit.

Just FYI, Kaedrin provides a hak version that doesn't require any overrides.

[dezlathoth]

Well the hak version might be alright, then. But I am content to, as Ice said, sit around and enjoy the classes we already have.

[Sojourn]

Yeah consider it a blessing what we have now because all standard races and classes are available...on other servers you need all sorts of applications and tiresome procedures to choose certain races and prc's. Also, most servers don't even allow red dragon disciples, or genasi or tieflings/aasimars. There are two servers I could think of that requires an app just to play a cleric. So we should consider ourselves fortunate here.

[Thief Of Navarre]

Exactly, the fact that we have two sword coast specific PrC's is a blessing as well!

I think it would be great if this could be added eventualy (Areas/loot etc should be a higher priority right now of course) providing it doesnt lag the server or anything. It adds alot of good stuff..one thing that caught my eye was the ton of spells that Paladins should have but were left out which really makes them weak as hell.

[DEV Jlf2n]

Yeah the new scripter is big into new classes as well. Im all for it as long as there are no overrirdes and the server can handle it. Seeing Pcs being able to play a monster would make for some really good times as well.

So keep your eyes open but don't expect them anytime soon. We have a ton of stuff to do before we can think about things like that.

[Iceshard]

I call the goblin merchant! lol Playing a monster would be better if gear actually showed up on them, otherwise looking like the same damn skin all the time is boring

[Thief Of Navarre]

Yeah, but remember PC's can only be intelligent creatures, no Eldar sentient puddings!

Then again using that logic humankind is a questionable characters race...
