Half-elf ideas

I think it's a good idea for half-drow, because humans and drow are almost the same size.

Fire giant / human sex just wouldn't work. He'd split her in half, or she'd turn his pelvic area into pancake penis.

dude.. WTF was that?

Same size mean that it CAN happen. But the nature of a drow means it is unlikely that it ever will. Then it is better with evil h-elves. Being more or less outcasts by default could make them turn evil.

In Tolkien's works, half-elves doesn't exist at all. The offspring of a human and elf will be one of the races, not a mix. That doesn't mean half-elves shouldn't exist in FL. Just as there aren't any good arguments why half-drows shouldn't exist in FL. It's not such a big leap, considering there has been several half-drow restrings.

I actually liked most of the ideas, but the automasteries in disarm/shield disarm/offhand disarm. You need to master these on your own, they shouldn't ever be innate. Also no other race has more then one weapon that they are innate in, so it should be either sword or exotic not both.

All in all, well done.

Everyone is innate in exotic (you have the weapon at 100% depending on your level). What is recommended is a small boost to exotic.

I like most of the ideas but not all of them like the automastery in shield disarm/disarm I think that is a little bit to much. Even though most people at 50 carry a no disarm weapon.

well in D&D half elves are not a mix according to the books. To elves half elves are human and to humans they are elves just a POV each race has. But as far as H-drows are concerned it can happen. A drow pillages a village and has some fun with the opposite sex, and they human maybe wanted to save the child from the Drow. Or maybe a human had his way with a drow and kept the child and raised it.

I had this one half elf ninja whose Rp was that his father had a drow slave and was born from her, there was more to that but that was it in a nut shell.

If Despiser played one we'd probably find out they're hideously overpowered somehow.

You know, I'd really love to see a log of a fight between Despiser and Old Man. That'd be a hell of a battle.

'Course, I think Old Man would win.

I would actually just suggest half-elves get autosneak. Then they wouldn't really be so bad.

The game has changed soo much since Old Man was in his seat, he was top notch with rp and skill. Then we have Despiser, who is one of the players who launched the god suit era. Depending on thier classes ofcourse, I think Despiser would take the victory. Because no matter how much skill you got, if someone is wearing a god suit and isnt a bane class the fight is only gonna swing one way.

Never played with Old Man. But Despiser didn't really PK in a traditional sense. He figured out an exploit where there was no way to win. So my money would be on him over any rough and tumble PKer.

Please, any player comparison assumes equivalent eq depending on class.

I'd actually pay to see that. Hell, I would even give up a my home to them so they could sit and play in comfort while I fed and pampered them.

On a side note. I think Old Man would win too. But, I think it wouldn't be an over the top kinda win. More like scratching it out barely.

I think they are both far too out of the loop to be any real competition these days

Old Man was very good (especially bolstered by reputation), but the game he played (and the opponents he played against) are long gone. I think he wouldn't be anything spectacular these days with the new rules, better balance, and much higher average player skill.

People who are 'supremely good' are those who can find the super power niches, get them, and then exploit them. (usually qrace/class/cabal/super eq combinations). Give them a regular combo and regular eq and you might be very suprised how average they really are.

aka

give any three decent (vet or elite) players similar combinations and you will have roughly similar outcomes...player skill (as far as mental skills (ex. mechanical knowledge)) accounts for far less than you might think after a certain threshold.....the only really important difference being connection speed (or trigger availability, typing speed, etc)

Yeah cel, but arent typing speed, reading speed, trigger design and implementation, over all tactical application of skills and using the envionment the factors that define pkill skill. I think these things contribute much more thna you give them credit for.

All things equal, equal eq, classes, race, the works..the above factors are what would decide the victor....aside from pure luck.

I do agree, however, that if you take some of the players that kickass out of their niche classes (hahah IE. the difference in my own Lehas when comapared to Lorfaine and Stytnlye) you see that they are no longer superior.

Now back on half elves.

Sneak alone would bring new breath to the race. I mean a meale autosneak race without the penalties of Elfs...

Disarm auto masteries is not a problem, as it is extremely easy to master.

But shield disarm, this one if a huge bonus. Not many player manage to master this because it you just cannot do it alone.

Have to agree on the shield disarm. Having a monk in a certain stance with this automastered would make them even more able to deal with any communer.

That stance only affects disarm, not shield-disarm.
