Two weeks isn't necessarily enough time to get multiple 20'something toons to 40, for people (like me) who have limited playing time, with work being crazy, and having limited amounts of time to play each night (if I get to play at all). That's the only reason I was curious. I would at least like the ability to change stats on some of them, to accomodate for the new skill points needed for some builds.
Thanks for the info Funky.

So does this mean we can infer that you won't have to be level 41, or that there will be any other level restrictions associated with using the Reincarnation system? I've been struggling with where to spend my time on toons, and not sure what to do in regards to "mid-level" toons. There will probably be some limit, though 40 is the highest minimum I would consider setting. Lower is possible, but by the time the reincarnation system goes in everyone will have had two weeks notice, which is plenty time to either get a toon to 40 or just take the changes already in into account. But then, there's no reason NOT to allow a lower limit, at this point anyway. Funky The lowest limit for the reincarnation system should be 20+, any character before 20 shouldn't be in that bad of shape even with a bad builder behind it.

I love the new CEP weapons being able to be finessed now but as far as I knew we could not take the weapon feats (WF, IC, EWF, etc) with CEP weapons. Has that been changed as well? If not is it/could it be changed at some point?
Great update though, love it.
Thanks,
~DL

If not is it/could it be changed at some point? Right now, Weapon Focus (Club), EWF (Club), IC (Club), OC (Club), and DC (Club) are surrogates for all CEP weapons. You will be able to feat-swap WF Club and so on in the future for the actual feats in question using the scry (probably after we add rare, etc versions of those weapons to the game). But if you want to try a CEP weapon right now, you can use the Club feats. Weapon of Choice (Club) is not yet a surrogate for the CEP weapons for weapon masters, but will be very soon, probably next update. Acaos

I love the new update possiblities but some things didn't seem quite right and wanted to mention them and see what people thought. I build a Large Race toon to test finesse. It works as stated, but hardly optimal. The only large race with a dex bonus is the Stinger with a +2. Is there a chance to allow a large race to finesse more effectively, or was this as designed? Nothing to stop you from going Erinyes 5 Bard / 5 AA / 50 RDD with longbow and your medium melee weapon of choice! (note: no one said this was a GOOD idea). Acaos Yeah wondered about doing something similar a while back - the animation for a large RDD using a bow was a little disappointing IIRC though (the Shapestrong barb one is just plain funny) but maybe since Rdds got more appearance choices that's changed.. edit: Yeah, the dragons look pretty cool actually.. ..I guess the next question is whether or not the bonus damage from mighty is superior to the enchant arrow bonuses a 'Flurry of Arrows' would get. Given that enchant arrow adds AB as well as Damage, i doubt it'd be worth it. (You'd probably be immune to hells KD checks though, which would be nice, although I think your AC would be pretty low).

Does the lvl 10 RDD reduction of immunity from 100% to 70% affect subraces that have a natural reduction of immunity? If I have lets say 100% fire vulnerability and then take 10 lvls of RDD do I then become only 30% fire vulnerable? I might go test this now

From what im gathering once you get 4 levels of RDD you get all your vulnerabilities mean nothing becaus eyou have 10% fire immunity minimum and the vulns only count against you when you try to add to that so effective a 4 rdd/1 bard splash is effective for killing treant vuln and other such things

Can large-sized PCs seriously use a longbow one handed? How does that work? That must be a flaw in the engine. Trazik

No, they can't. But there's nothing to stop you from swapping off between using a longbow (Dex based) and finessing a medium weapon.

I have to say I can see many builds working with Large races and finesse. Anyway kudos again to you all for a stunning mod update. Acaos, does this mean Barbarians can finesse medium weapons when shapestrong? Would be good if they can. Cheers Lala
