Everquest

[dema]

Hey, I just picked up this book, I have to say it's pretty darn good. I might just have to toss my WotC PHB out now, and all those Splat books, we'll see how well they intergrate. But the classes seem so cool that you don't need splat books.

I haven't played EQ online ever (my computer sucks)

I'm dying to get the GMG and MofNorath, is that the place? Norath.

Seems very 1st/2de ish, I like what was done with teleport and binding to homecities, very cool, I like the idea. Mana spell system, with easy to change spell lists- neat.

Ohh, the book it self is hugh and well priced for it's size. I havn't been this giddy about a DnD book (yeah I know it's EQ but what ever) since I first heard about 3e and looked over the 3e PHB.

Factions, cool idea-

The bad seems to be the lack of illusion spells like the old school phatasmal force and stuff, also most spells seem like attack/defense/ add AC add HP, Drain, but hell DnD is like that too. I won't miss tensers floating disc too much, but if I want it I can have it.


This EQ this seems like 3e v3.8 and it's OGL to boot.

Pick it up at your local gaming store, I know buy.com has it for 18 bucks but I couldn't wait.

Can't wait to show my players,

I've been really enjoying running this game, but am trying to put it on hold until I get the DM book. It's fun, heck yeah.

But at the same time, I think it would work even better when combined with the standard 3e rules for item creation.

I, too, am very excited about the prospects of either playing EQRPG or at the very least integrating some of the cooler parts into my 3E campaign! Cant wait for MON and the DM's guide for it...

Porting

Anyone start porting over 3e spells and items over to EQ? As well as PrCs if needed?

Maybe the white wolf boards would be a better place for this?

think some spells would be nice to translate over, like areal fly spell perhaps. But I think its nice not to have the spell for every situation spell casters like they do in D&D.

I havn't looked too deep but there don't seem to be any save or die spells either. I think that solves some problems too. Correct me if I'm wrong.

there are a lot of hold type things but they don't mean instant death anymore. Also I think the wizard has a disinigrate spell at his highest level. The problems are two fold, one you odn't get equipment, two you don't get any exp if you succeed in using this spell.

I don't understand why

Shard you say - there are a lot of hold type things but they don't mean instant death anymore. Also I think the wizard has a disinigrate spell at his highest level. The problems are two fold, one you odn't get equipment, two you don't get any exp if you succeed in using this spell.

Why don't they get exp for using that disintegrate type spell? Is there a note pertaining only to that spell? I understand the gear being lost bit though.

yes there is a specific note in the spell, as for why? I don't know maybe some everquest mmorpg players could tell you.

Wow that is insane- I might stop giving XP for any save or die spell in dnd3e then, see how that pans out.
