If people outside The Society or The Dragonarmies started making guild "suggestions" the outrage would be monumental.

Oh well, nothing like a little hypocrisy with breakfast.

What? Oh is mersereau says nothing

How about a focus on the stealth recode then tackle the rangers recode. I still find it annoying that basically any one can see me hiding/sneaking. When fighting a ranger the only thing you need to really worry about is losing your weapon. It's not like we'll hack and slash you to death or cast a spell that will almost kill you in 1 hit.

Losing weapon < Death

Currently the lack of bursty offense turns into staying power, and the ability to win most one vs one fights in the long run.
Edit: I should say the very looooonnnng run

If stealth is being recoded could make autosneak a global ability realted to a cutoff level of sneak, so if u have sup journey sneak even by using equipment u can use auto sneak.
Or add full commands for sneak so there aren't some places u vcan only sneak to by having auto on.
If sneak and hide r buffed could balance it by greatly increasing fatigue on movement when sneaking. Having always on no downside invisibility seems a bit over the top.
Also make sneaking almost impossible while u still have adrenelin. Have to calm down before going stealth mode again.
Make nearly no NPCs deal with u when ur hidden, eg have to reveal yourself to buy ticket for ship.

Do the letters F.O. mean anything to you?

You mean we cannot use it because another game does or something?

Because another guild plans on using it ;P

You had better instruct your Genesis Attorneys to build a war chest, in anticipation of dealing with the numerous law suits that arise when Angmar realise that someone is stealing their already trademarked abilities. A pretty scary prospect.

An occupational ranger class is essentially stuck in effectiveness halfway between a functional occupational guild of a different class and a layman guild. Personally I think the class may need redefining what its role is supposed to be. The jack of all trades role has pretty much been taken over by the mercenary concept.

I may have read this wrong but when you mention a layman guild are you making a reference to the Heralds?

I think he's saying the Rangers aren't as strong as an occupational guild and just barely better than a layman. Just in general.

Ahhh, that makes sense. I was going to say that it would make sense though. They're very similar in terms of granted spells.

Don't think he is saying they are barely better than a layman.
Rather its like they are both a layman caster and occupational fighting guild in one. But because of that versatilty the fighting side lacks punch when compared to a more pure all out fighting guild.

Rangers already have/had companies don't know tbh. If knights of Gondor was a step too far, could make the companies idea more specialised still. make them changeable with less fuss and make one of them a lot more fighty if that's what ppl want. But those companies probably have a rich history they don't want to loose.
