Druids finally can be the happy animals they've always wanted to be!!!!
-
Mink form, ACTIVATE! :ohnoes:
-
Will the non-aggressive, regular forms affect how NPCs react to the character? Being able to walk past guards and such as a dog or a cat would be highly valuable for an outcast character in the absence of invisibility.

That would be pretty neat yeah
-
Oh my gosh, those druidic feats look awesome! A question, though! Will these new animal shapes also have differing stats/abilities or will they be copies from the base wildshape?
-
Fighter feats looking good!
-
<3 best hak update ever
now just gotta add Zeidenberg ;)
-

All shapes, existing or new, will have unique stats based on the animal form. They won’t all deal 1d8 damage. Some will deal more some less. Some of the dire animals are downright brutal.

Only the non-wild one so yes for the cat and dog.

Very nice! *Thumbs up*
That's going to be very useful in avoiding unwanted guard aggro and peasant panic.
-
It's probably not yet been finalized, but is it possible we get the stats for the new (and the revised) wildshapes? I imagine the new wildshapes are more for RP reasons, but it'd be fun to see what the devs came up with.
-
Added two new Ravenloft feats.
-
Those two new feats are pretty cool. I like that muse effects crafting rolls, too.
-
If Dead Man Walking requires a save against fear... will the feat user actually be under a fear effect if the save is failed?
-
Normal fear effects would apply on a failed fear saving throw. The bonus kicks in when the save is successful.
-
Dead Man Walking will be circumvented by anyone with Mind Blank, or with a class immune vs fear, like Paladin. Which is a bit silly, as someone on the Discord pointed out, there would be in-character cause to ask someone to dispell your mindblank, and lure over a creature with a fear aura, so you can boost your open lock skill a couple of points to open a locked door in a dungeon, instead of simply treating it as an auto-success if immune, which is how it should be treat imo. In that way, this 'general' feat with no requirements could be a applicable to Paladins as well, which as it stands, would receive no benefit from it.
..So my suggestion? Either restrict this feat from feat selection for Paladins, as it can be potentially misleading and a dead/useless feat if taken, for Paladin players. Most would, in common sense, assuming being immune to fear dictates an auto-success, instead of rules-lawyering the fact that since you were immune, and thus disallowed to make a saving throw, that you then do not count as having 'passed' the saving throw.
-
That would be overpowered. It’d essentially be a free bonus to paladins. Balance wise it makes no sense.
-
Perhaps I'm reading wrong but I think BSR was just argueing that it should not be made available for paladins to select so that less experienced paladin players might might not accidentally choose a feat they will receive no benefit from. I don't think he was suggesting that immunity from fear counts counts a success.
-
Dead Man Walking:

-
Don't you roll the saving throw before immunity is checked? It's been a while since I meddled with that, but binding it to the save should still be fine.
-
Right, BSR is arguing that Dead Man Walking is a false option for Paladins and therefore asking if there's a way of excluding it from their Feat selections on level up. I don't know if that's possible, but it might save some hassle in the long run if so.

Ah yeah, but no, it's not feasible. It's like other fear saving throw feats. They show up on the paladin's list but are useless.

Well, Paladins receive all of the vs. fear saving throw feats for free, more or less. So thus far, there aren't any feats that are useless to a Paladin.. Except maybe Voracious. Philos and Aprogressivist were correct, I was arguing for a way for this feat to not be available to Paladins, otherwise less experienced Paladin players would waste a feat, which costs one of 5 remakes to fix. Not a good situation for anyone involved.
-
We can allways add a line; this feat is useless for paladins and other characters imune to fear, in the feat description
-
If I'm reading and understanding it correctly, Muse does not give the one with the feat any bonuses, yes? Only those around them? So it wold be silly for a barb to take it, to boost their own stuff.

Exactly. You’re a muse, so an inspiration to others.
-
Added another feat and a new Ravenloft domain.
-
There are two feats named Muse now! Think it might be a typo.

I only see one. :)

-Added Augment Healing.
-
Augment Healing…. swoon. THANK YOU
-
Any update on when this is coming out? My cure spells are so wimpy!
-
Just a question on Augment Healing:
By the wiki at least, all of the regeneration spells are also Conjuration. Meaning they get the benefit as well.
Does that then add to their healing on initial burst? For example, regenerate gives an 18 HP burst on the first round (6+innate spell level *2) then peters down to 6?

As indicated in the feat description it only affects Conjuration healing spells, so Conjuration spells with the Healing descriptor.

Unless the in game description is wrong, all the regeneration spells are conjuration and healing spells as well. At least, the ones my level 11 cleric has unlocked. That was the cause of my confusion.
-
A good balance might be to make this feat apply to duration of regeneration spells, so instead of 2 extra HP on the CLW spell, you get 4 extra due to 2 extra rounds of regen. It effectively doubles the HP, but in slow regen instead of fast burst healing.
By the way, does anyone know if the healing domain affects these regen spells?
-
It does not. Healing domain is an empower effect, so it only happens if you have to roll dice to see what HP you recover. (Regen is more a druid thing, too)
-

I guess, but I really like the idea of Hypatia being able to slowly regenerate a larger amount of your wounds as opposed to burst healing in an emergency. That doesn't seem like it should need to be a druid only thing. But you can have it because if I can heal back more with an empowered cure spell than a slow regen, not much point in taking the regens...
-
Regen is already better than empowered healing. A regenerate serious spell for a 10th level druid restores 60 HP, while the equivalent spell for a cleric (on fourth level, cure critical) maxes at 42, unless you're healing domain--in which case it can hit 58. You're getting to essentially maximize + empower your spell for free in exchange for it taking a while. Clerics get regen spells a level later, druids get cure spells a level later, but they both get all the spells eventually.
That being said, I'd encourage a look at the wiki and some math to figure out what spells are capable of, since we're getting a little off topic.
-
Well.... maybe the healing domain ought to add 1hp per round of regen or something to keep the "healing" domain the best thing for "healing."

Mmm, good point. I forgot I set those as Conjuration (Healing). I'll look up how the rule applies but likely would be a big healing burst in the first round if you read the description of the feat.

I had a query on the feat: Dead Man Walking
Type of Feat: General
Prerequisite: None.
Specifics: After a brush with the horrors of the night, the character accepts that he is living on borrowed time. Upon making a successful Fear save, he receives a +2 bonus to all saving throws and skill checks for a duration of one turn and one round per level due to the icy calm with which he faces mortal danger. The recognition of man's mortality sometimes can be a source of strength.
Use: Automatic. Does not stack with itself and only applies to fear effects created by monstrous and non player characters.
While I was testing it out it indeed gave out +2 saving throws, but only to Fortitude and Reflex. Will remained the same, Is this intentional?
-
In Discord you were saying your PC had some other feats and a good Will save. Could it be a stacking bug of some sort?
The feat says it doesn't stack with itself, and maybe it's not stacking with something else (that it should be).

Normally I would say yes, but for the purpose of the test I made a new character with no gear save his splint mail so I'm not sure whether will save feats might nullify it or what
-
Strange; I'll make a few adjustments but usually when one save doesn't increase it's because you have a similar effect in place already.
