How about some boosts for weaponed shifter forms? I'm aware that shifters have already recieved sizable bonuses to their abilities, bu the vast majority of those are on unarmed forms. If the stats provided by the weapon forms could be raised, they could become much more playable. After all, why take the 25 dexterity from Epic Kobold and play it for stealth/sneaks, when the comparable rogue has up to 52 base dexterity? I'm not saying that the forms should be equal in power to the equivalent class character (they really shouldn't) but they were made for a much lower magic setting, and as such, recieve little use here. Maybe a bonus to hit would be enough, if it can be worked around the +20 cap to AB. Forms like Risen Lord have great immunities, but with 21 Strength he's not going to hit anything much farther than Strange Tower. This way, Shifter players could go for other secondary classes, rather than being obligated to take monk. Thanks! P.S.-I have no real experience with NWScripts, so if these are hardcoded or difficult to modify, chalk it up to my ignorance.

Can't without editing 2das at the very least. They MIGHT be serverside only, but it's unlikely. I'll look into it. Funky

The Quasiclass "Staffmaster" has bonus of damage from his spell "Blackstaff". I must have lvl 25 of WM to gain positive and negative damage and 40 lvls of wizard and WM to gain 2d12 damage bonus. Does LL lvl stack with this bonus? I would like to make something like 15 wizard/22 WM/3 monk and to have 2d12 positive and negative damage at lvl 43. Is it possible?

No, it isn't. LL currently does not affect that progression, and will not. LL WILL effect damage amount, when it gets rewired for the feats update. Funky

It´s a pity because AC of build 15 wiz/25 WM is too low. Good is that I´ll gain 2d12 magic but positive + negative is better

Actually, magic is better, because positive seldom works at all on most boss critters, and negative never works on undead... And as to minotaur subrace, ask around, I'm sure there are books out there. Many are often sold in the sale chests. Usually around 250-400 million or so. If I've got a spare copy, someone else out there had to have saved them

Wacky idea: have Epic Focus in Abjuration make Dispel Magic spells (Mords, Greater Dispel, etc) effect only non-party mobs when cast as an AoE (so you don't accidentally strip your party of spells).

Interesting. I'll have to look into the current implementation more closely, to see what it's already doing, but this is a timely suggestion, because dispel edits are coming very soon. Funky

I don´t agree with this: "casters clad in armor heavier than clothing or wearing a shield will cast the regular version of the spell; this spell will end if armor heavier than clothing or a shield is equipped after casting". It is good but Staffmaster has one problem. He usually wears full plate (and shield) but if he does, he has 95% chance of arcane spell failure (I tried that now and the 39th spell worked). That means it´s almost impossible to cast that spell. I think Staffmaster should gain automatic still spell III like Bane Knight. Of course, Staffmaster can take it too, but if I want to make 15 wiz/25 wm, I have to take shield, light armor, medium armor and heavy armor profiency and that´s a lot. So there´s no more place to take 3 feats. I can take a few more points of dexterity and go without shield and armor but AC 93=[10(basic)+8(dex)+2(armor skin)+4(tumble)+13(robe)+16(ring)+20(amulet)+20(boots+haste)] isn´t enough for fighter and I lost dex bonus when I´m flat-footed. What do you think?

What do you think? Just want to point that as a staffmaster you get different defensive spells to baneknight, specifically the very nice etheral visage spell as staffmaster, at higher levels its one of the nicest defensive spells going when not wearing armour/shield.

I think Staffmaster should gain automatic still spell III like Bane Knight. You're missing several things here. First, staffmasters can easily get still spell. Instead of getting it for free, however, they get a powerful defensive spell in Etherial Visage, as the last poster remarked. You can certainly opt to wear armor if you like, and forgo the custom chnges to the EV spell, but I wouldn't recommend that unless you play a large sized subrace so that you can wear a shield as well. Getting both the conceal and the ability to wear plate and shield would be rediculously overpowered, even without getting the still spell feat for free. Funky

There is one chance how to use shield and full plate. Full plate (45%) and small shield (5%) means 50% of arcane spell failure. I will have...with +12 things to INT (30)...2 premotions, 4 ethereal visages (2 extended) and 4 greater stoneskins (1 extended) so I should be able to cast it at least once per rest .
