[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 2732107, member: 2067"] A few notes in general: 1: We're still missing the roles of some of the classes in Urbis. Rangers? Rogues? Fighters? Where do these people come from, where are they trained, and how do they grow up in the city streets? 2: How monsters fit into this civilized world is left sketchy. It could use some filling it. Urbis takes magic into account very solidly -- how does Urbis take into account the wild beasts of the setting, the dragons, the beholders, the dire animals? What is the place of Ythraks in a massive urban sprawl? 3: It is said the Nexus Towers make the giant cities possible. But who controls the nexus towers? How are they controlled, especially in the more democratic areas? Are they patrolled by guards who keep out the riffraff? Could an adept enough rogue sneak into the towers and control or level the city at will? How do some of these epic spells get their spellcasters? Does a Nexus Tower provide anything to a fighter or a rogue or other non-magical class that manages to get into it, other than spellcasting? And how, exactly, did they make the cities possible? They build buildings and enrich crops, but do they control disease? Do they enforce law and order? Do they enhance trade? I'm sure each city-state has it's own unique uses for the towers...what are they? How do they help develop a unique personality for each city-state? [/QUOTE]
