NWN Ideas, Suggestions, Requests / RE: Bard Summons
« on: September 22, 2005, 11:18:00 am »
I personally do not see a reason for the thought of such a modification myself Steve. However every time I have ever viewed this sort of suggestion the process comes up from someone. I hope by commenting on its silliness that this time becomes the exception. Flying instruments in battle, utterly inane.

I am rather fond of bards myself Steve, and I agree with you upon both points of having reasons not to and reasons to make such a change. However I didn’t know that the cute Halfling was once a bard, thou the Rogue/Cleric cross should have caught my attention. Thus it is my hopes that by providing the first line of arguments against the provisions of a summon change they can be properly assessed and debated properly. At the very least we might as well have some fun on this hopeless battle.

In review of your suggestion Steve I have decided to make my own little commentary.

 The spreadsheet you provided was easily ledge able, a valuable tool in providing a coherent presentation of your point. The flowing of the post was excellent I actually read thru it and gave each segment some thought.

However, I note in presentation two critical flaws in the reasoning behind amplifying Bard Summons. Using rangers as the platform thou clever failed to address the two primary arguments that will prevent this from actually coming to pass.

The first Argument, can be summarized in two words; “Ozymandias Llewellyn”
The Second Argument; The breakdown of current bards skills/abilities that in theory justifies weak summons that hold no practical value to anyone and serve as only a wasted spell and momentary distraction. The reasoning behind this is, giving a quality summon may result in summons doing all the work.

Notably however the first, second and third level summons are most likely overpowered for their general level. A more reasonable reflective level might be; level 1 remains level 1, level 2 remains level 2, level 3 becomes level 4.

There is one final set of scatter that will likely shatter your actually valid and intelligent point. Someone requests custom bard summons despite never having played a bard or having any interest in playing a bard. Or someone either declares bards to powerful or to weak and an argument ensues over that devaluating the original post.

However the likely final declaration upon the mater is that, it has already been taken into consideration and there will be no changes.

Your turn Steve, provide your secondary example set to break the filibuster so I can come up with another set of reasons why it shouldn’t/wont occur. Maybe we can get a nice fourteen or fifteen set post before someone on the design team reads this.

Bard

After a few minuts of thought, being dissatisfied with the woefull lack of coherent content in my post. I would sugest going thru the intro chapter of Neverwinter Nights single player to get a feal for the controls again. That and it is always worth a giggle to see Leanthar outdo Bioware at their own game.

*looks up while spinning a bone between his fingers adding a note with quick flowing letters looking more suited for a magical text then anything*

It bothered me, it died. But, I imagine it will return to lurking in the shadows of the Rift, if you still wish to pursue it. If you wish to know more of its nature, its habits and, what it is; contact me. – Ozymandias

General Discussion / RE: Do you have a Bard?
« on: August 23, 2005, 04:55:00 am »
Maybe I should ask a second opinion if I do or don't, can't make up my mind.

Bard^1 - (bärd)

One of an ancient Celtic order of minstrel poets who composed and recited verses celebrating the legendary exploits of chieftains and heroes.
A poet, especially a lyric poet.

There we go, this should make the rest of the votes interesting.

Their are a few bandades that the player an DM's can take.

1) Deactivateing combat info in the second chat bar (DMs and Players can take this step)
2) Turn off your sounds, lower your video settings. (Helps me so it may help you)

NWN was desighned for 4-5 people +1 DM. Alas it can handle more but it gets whiney.

The quest ran at 3:30AM PST. Lots of things happened, ask Ozy but be very prepared for a grouchy bard.

We tested the dragon thing earlyer - Hlintites are just to jaded, and desensitised to weirdness. Even the actual hlint resedents are now very used to it. I would not be supprised if a pit fiend walked thru town and no one batted an eyelash when he asked where he could find an inn or if they wanted to join him in goblin bashing..I really wouldn't be supprised at all if that happened and no one cared.
