what is the basis of this quasi? it seems like you just slapped together a couple classes and changed a couple spells

that aside, druid/cleric isnt the best choice for a quasi mix. both are divine spellcasters with a fairly similar spellbook. quasis are generally designed for mixing classes that are completely different

[nicnik]

interesting concept, however i would like to see a druid/sorc or druid/bard combo with a purpose. perhaps u can look into that? or druid/melee class.

Arcane trickster (from nwn2) is very interesting too, perhaps u can look at that too.

The basis is for a quasiclass of priests that worship life beginning (druid +sun domain) and Life ending(Evil domain for the negetive spells instead of death because i dont feel they need more death spells)

I meant to put in a few things with spears like the Symbol is a spear they have to have equipped to cast on.

Druids have a much more arcane spellbook than a cleric and many different spells Because they have cantrips the same the heal sect of spells and the summon spells in common doesnt mean the spellbooks are similiar Druids spells are Nature and life based while clerics are holy and godly spells.

Was thinking about arcane trickster Altered a bit instead of having telekinetic powers was thinking about giving them benefits based on arcane ability to rogue skills

Druid/Sorc to be honest iwas waiting for the Spirit Shaman class to pop out in NWN2 to make something for HG for it.

Druid/Bard i might have made of those check my uber long amount of quasi's

the druid spellbook is actually fairly limited in comparison to the cleric/arcane spellbooks; id estimate about half of the druid spells are also on the cleric list, with a few more depending on domain selection. the lower levels have more spells unique to the class, but the same applies to cleric

the name of the quasi doesnt quite show any worship of beginning/life, but that doesnt really matter at this point. the spell selection would need more work as it also doesnt really seem to have a general direction (seems to be mostly random, in spells chosen and the effects they have)

'

Twilight = mixure of light and dark during the day this class is a mixture of the dark and light aspects of life (birth growth and death)

Ill explain exactly why the spells were chosen:
Cure/inflict: obvious reasons class with control of life would heal and harm enemies at will

Camoflauge the line between dark/light is blurry and one is able to hide in the shadows even when in daylight

Entangle (growth of vines to grip enemies until their death)
Bless/bane inspire life/death into allies/enemies

Blood Frenzy Use the idea of death to spur a frenzy of life causing destructions of life resulting in death (the cycle)

Flame lash Fire=destruction and death lash=bonds resulting in death

Negetive energy ray: Death ray of sorts

Searing light: Ray of life to destroy undeath

Remove curse disease: Bring life back to allies

Bestow curse/Contagion: Bring death into enemies

Negetive Energy Burst: Blast of death

Healing sting: drain life from another to bring life to self

Infestation of Maggots: Disease that destroys lifeforce

Poison: its freaking poison

Hammer of Gods: a burst of life granted by the gods to smite enemies

Flame strike: see flame lash

Circle of Doom: Pretty self explanitory

Healing Circle: Same as circle o doom

Slay Living: More obvious for a life/death Priest

Inferno: reminds oen of hell and hell is where one goes after death and is eternal life of torure

Battletide: Bless+bane put together again an obvious one in its effects

Creeping doom: Spawn life(insects) to destroy life(enemies)

Heal/Harm: Obvious

Drown: Ending life (obivous)

Undeath to Death: Obvious for a priest of a balance between life and death

Rez: See above

Destruction: creates an orb of death that destroys the enemies very being

Sunbeam/burst: Blast of life to destroy undeath

Finger of death: Obvious

Natures balance: Uber obvious

Aura vs alignment:protection vs death/life

Mass heal (obvious)

Energy drain: suck life out of enemy to give to self

Elemental swarm Control over the forces of creation (the 4 original elements of the world earth wind water fire)

[FunkySwerve]

That's a pretty weak rationale, given that nearly every spell in HG has the purpose of either preserving allies' lives or helping to kill enemies. Spells like entangle demonstrate just how watered down you can make it:

"Entangle (growth of vines to grip enemies until their death)"

Funky

[wnxhalfwingseen]

Well meh i didnt explain entangle well enough. Basically your creating life in the plants. which is the life requirement of the twilight mage
I have exact 11 Life based spells
and 11 death spell spells
not counting the cure.inflict series which cancel eachother out and spells such as creeping doom which is both Creating insects out of nothign ( life ) thats sole purpose is to drain life out of the enemy (death)
and healing sting (transfer of life)
and spells that are polars (circle of doom + healing circle) remove disease/curse and bestow curse/ contagion

[FunkySwerve]

No, what I'm telling you is NOT that your explanations weren't good enough, but that by the expansive definition you are using pretty much ANY spell could fit.

oh okay XD either way i felt i didnt explain well enough your correct in saying the expansive definitions are such. but in my eyes maybe flame strike+flame lash+inferno should go bye bye
as they were stretches anyway any other spells should be shaved off for the definition to narrow to anything that direction creates life or destroys it or alters its flow by its mere definition (as in not burns somehting to death or shocks something or hits them with ice but manipulates thier very life)
