Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

[Legildur]

Not sure if War is that powerful. If it fits the theme, then sure, go for it. The higher level domain spells are awesome, but not that much below that.

 

[Rystil Arden]

The interesting thing about domains is that you only need one that has reasonable spells in it to take, since you can't pick from both. Getting good domain powers is important too. As they go, Protection is not so great, especially since the 1 time bonus has to be pre-buffed and only lasts an hour, and it doesn't stack with Cloak of Resistance. War Domain's free Weapon Focus counteracts the loss of BAB for Cleric, and it also gives free weapon proficiency. The trouble is that Corellon's Favoured Weapon is not the bow, so the rather powerful combo of Elf + War domains to get two bonus archery feats at level 1 only works for Shevaresh.

Hey Rystil, sorry to bring this up in an unrelated thread but since the game is dead I don't suppose I'll get an answer posting in it's threads. Just what happened to Equivalent Exchange?

 

[Shayuri]

Yeah, Rystil, I noticed that Corellon favors the longsword too...but it's still better than Protection's domain powah...

And I just can't see Su following another god. Gotta be Corellon. He da man.

Momentum loss. It seems to happen eventually to most PbPs, especially those with Mutants and Masterminds as the base ruleset for whatever reason. I've only really seen games end a natural planned way in the Living X forums (but not Living Supers, since that falls to the Mutants and Masterminds thing)

Yeah, Shevaresh kinda sucks anyway--pretty much usually powergamers who want him as a god. The odd thing is that Sehanine Moonbow doesn't, despite her name, have a bow as her favoured weapon. Not that she has the War domain anyway.

 

[Shayuri]

It's actually extremely rare, it seems, for a god to have a ranged weapon favored.

I think the designers typically assume, consciously or not, that a cleric is basically a "divine fighter," and pattern favored weapons with that in mind. A war-domain cleric is supposed to get down and dirty in melee...

You'd think elf clerics wouldn't necessarily conform to that...but eh. I think I'll take War.

A little extra oomph never hurts, and since adventurers rarely engage foes at great range, someone running in to melee me will probably happen a lot.

Poor Al... *sniff* Now he'll never be reunited with his brother... Except SPOILER in the movie... SPOILER

Well if you ever start up something like that again I'll be happy to play.
