While it would perhaps be fitting for the setting, the guard has been advised not to fuss players over similar things as this, and players have voiced upset about things in a similar sphere, as it can be seen as disruptive to RP.

Sadly, I think this would be a nightmare to police and just add to more irritation among players based on feedback with other topics meaning it'd take away more than it'd add.

I may have missed any suggestions regarding changing its range, fall-off, or otherwise, but that is not what should be changed. There is nothing wrong with how Bard Song works; the issue stems from how long it lasts. And even then, I'm not saying it should be hamstrung completely; none of the 10...

Okay, thank you. That helps me with future suggestions. Perhaps some flat damage reduction might be in order, then, rather than Damage Immunity. It's of my understanding that DI is very small, usually being no more than 1 point currently, and that goes for almost everyone wearing armour or...

Perhaps it might be a case of upping the numbers a little? Make a large shield 3- 4 AC and a Tower 5- 6 AC? With enemy AB the way it is, they'll still check you often.

I think this is where we start getting into the weeds, when it comes to eroding the theme for content, when the content on an RP server should be the RP. Obviously, the counterpoint to that is RPing in dungeons. There's more nuance to be had when you start including the idea of a more robust...

Then I rescind my point. But again, using Towershields, we're penalised, even -1 AB is rather huge in the scale of TDN. I actually wonder if any AB reduction is a little harsh. Also, the DI doesn't really matter at this level of loot, and I have a feeling it won't really get much better in the...

I think bringing the Warden capstone abilities in somewhat of a moot point, overpower being just a flat AC bonus, which, at level 14, is 1 (to a max of 3 at 18), and shieldwall is arguably a questionable ability in terms of usefulness until we can use it to see for ourselves. The Warden also...

If they buff Tower Shields, everyone uses a tower shield because the Large makes no sense. Shield-specific feats need to be introduced to bring them in line with two-handers, some of which could/should be free for some martial classes. Alternatively, something needs to be done stats-wise to...

Just a side idea, and this might be silly but what the hell, what about simplifying it to; One-handed, Two-handed, Ranged. Or would this be oversimplified to the point of being broken?

To put a fine point on it; I feel penalised for wanting to use a sword and shield. Enemies have such high AB, I'm getting hit regardless of that +2 AC, killings things faster means I get hit less and therefore theres no reason for me to use a 2hander. Aggro is generated off damage, as a...

OP has hit the nail on the head in terms of my feelings. I enjoy the fact that other dungeons are being shifted in terms of difficulty, but the undead always felt like a risk vs reward scenario and something to be afraid of, cautious and otherwise uncertain about facing. Now? They miss that...

But long-duration buffs counter the thematic ideas painted by the server lore, as that is pretty powerful magic. Should they run longer? Sure... Hours? Holy shit no. A turn is 1 minute. If you added your Casting Modifer as extra turns, you could be casting, for example, Bull's Strength that...

The argument I'd have for mages being able to do that is... That's all they do? And they're hamstrung pretty badly for it. Certainly, it could be a 10d6 fireball that has friendly fire, leaves them vulnerable to Aoo, has saving throws and a cool down for 3 minutes. They wear no armour, can't...

I'm not saying anything else about the abilities that should change besides length/CD. No buff should be 10 minutes per level.
