Admin Announcements / Epic Reputation and Awards
Last post by Fire Wraith - Sep 30, 2024, 04:19 PMSo as people may have noticed, we've removed the default "Epic Reputation" feat, and replaced it with two new feats - Epic Reputation (Fame) and Epic Reputation (Influence).
These are meant to be something given out as a story/storyline award for meaningful involvement and roleplay in major plot lines, and recognize the impact of the deeds of some characters, providing minor skill bonuses, and a roleplay impact as far as how future NPCs will generally treat that PC. We have two versions in that one represents a character who is widely known, for good or bad, and will be easily recognized by most or all people (Fame). This will play out as fame or infamy depending on the location - an evil drow PC might be famous in the Underdark, and infamous in Cormyr, while a Cormyrian would be famous in Cormyr but infamous in Zhentil Keep, and so forth. The other represents a character whose deeds are known not far and wide, but in more quiet circles - among thieves, spies, assassins, Harpers, and various secretive shadowy types and those who associate with them good or bad, and it represents a reputation not by name, but by mystique, possibly a cover name or symbol, and thus is more for shadowy characters who don't want to be recognized openly.
Given that there are a number of characters we feel are likely qualified for this, the DM staff has put together an initial list. Note that you don't have to take this if you don't feel it's warranted for you, or don't feel that either of these fits your character, especially given that there can be RP/IC drawbacks to having them depending on the situation.
Additionally, if you feel you should be on this list, but aren't, let us know and we'll consider it. Even if we don't think your character does yet, you're certainly eligible for it from ongoing and future plots!

They gain immunity to the effects of others' Charm, Dominate, and Hold Person spells, as such minor effects can no longer sway them to another's will against the force of their own charisma.

ServerQuestions / Re: Max level and other xp que...
Last post by aliceofthevoid - Sep 28, 2024, 09:23 AMYou do levels on storyline death. Mechanical death in a dungeon isn't actual death. Mechanical death does lose some xp, but xp that is recoverable through combat and it will never drop your level.

ServerQuestions / Re: Max level and other xp que...
Last post by onivel - Sep 28, 2024, 08:37 AMMax lvl is 30.... you don't lose lvls through death... no special scripting for mounted combat. You can fight while mounted, but things like the ride skill don't give you bonuses to combat while mounted. No idea what you mean by HGLL system.
