Item lists expanded, some slight tweaks when it comes to skills, more use for Intelligence.

My thoughts too about the leak. And it looks like it's a pre-pre-pre-alpha. I hope the version the playtesters are playing is much better.

Baldur's Gate 1 had mystery and open world, but little when it came to NPC interaction. Baldur's Gate 2 had no mystery and no open world, but awesome NPC interaction, even better than Witcher or Gothic (although it lacks 'atmospheric actions' present in the 3D games). My perfect game would...

Back to the original idea. We could mark certain traits, such as 'cruel' as Evil. We could mark 'Honorable' as Lawful and Good. etc. etc. This way such a trait system as I proposed in the first post would work in the confines of the 9-alignment system and would reduce the ambiguity and...

Lots of stuff added, including reworked weapon proficiencies, descendant of the gods template, and mundane items.

Regarding the situation as being 'offensive' or 'immature' - courtesans, the medieval predecessors of whores (and the kinds you could meet in RPGs) could be described more as 'mistresses' (i.e. women rich men 'kept - paid for her lodging, life, servants, clothes etc in exchange for visiting...

I'm super happy. They say the game will include new NPCs. And "more chapters". And BG 1 & 2 will be better connected in terms of the plot.... /Must make a wishlist!/

That's what I think too. There should be a, Idk, AC dodge bonus or some other AC bonus based on my level. But it's best if it's optional (player-decided) like the Expertise bonus in 3e, not automatic.

Did I write that I wanted "good" and "evil" and "chaotic" and "lawful"? No. I wrote that I wanted "personality traits" such as "honest", "cruel", "sadistic", "caring", "brave", "domineering".... and these help roleplaying. The 9 alignments certainly do not help roleplaying much since they can...

Bump, cause it deserves it. Do you think the divine blood template is balanced?

I think your idea is awesome. Especially the names - I'd love to get hold of the generator used to create them. An aside - what is Purchase DC? Where did you get it from? Did you invent it? I'm creating a world and wondering how can I limit players' buying stuff (and not only by having items...

If the NPCs have some sort of alignment (alignment traits, alignment notes, personality traits, personality notes, whatever we call it) so why shouldn't the characters have it? It would encourage consistent roleplay.

Alignment traits added. Flaws added. A drug named ‘mad desire’ added. Planetouched templates added.

I don't want to discuss learned vs. inherent traits. They are just "alignment traits", as arbitrary as alignment in previous editions was. No one disputes whether a paladin is born LG or learns to be LG.

There was a Kara-Tur themed article in a Dragon, don't remember which issue, with lots of nice feats and skills for monks.

What keeps you from marking those orclings as cruel and sadistic in terms of "alignment traits"?

The Paladins are a special case - the alignment restriction has been on them forever (even though I can see them working fine without it). But yes, I want the "trait" to be purely a roleplaying aid.

My view of the problem falls squarely between the two middle options (that is, two primary and two secondary; make all six matter). What I mean is, I want the class to have two primary and two secondary attributes, but the remaining two should also be necessary. No dump-stats!

The DM. Same as it always was. It's the DM who decides your paladin is no longer LG... or that you have to change alignment because you're roleplaying CG instead of NG... EDIT: I don't want alignment to be factored into core as a way of balancing classes. I don't want alignment to be a part of...

Some templates and monsters (outsiders) added. Also, started working on flaws.
