Few questions

Unread post by Vhaeraun Baen're »

Has anyone ever actually tested to see if the Epic Damage Reduction feats stack with the 3/- DR feat for wearing heavy armor?

Also, are the Fast Healing epic feats available from Fighter Feats like the Epic DR ones are?


Lastly, What is the point of having Anointed Knight and Warrior of Darkness if they're EXACTLY the same?

One is Evil, one is Good. Probably about RPing PrCs in a particular way, ie RPing the Character Sheet.

Though, you can compare it to the Assassin/Avenger all-in-one PrC decision. Probably just was easier?!?

I should be able to help you with the two other questions :)

According to the ingame feat description and the Wikia, it specifically say that it doesn't stack - so I'd imagine it doesn't, but I haven't actually tested it.

I can't find anything on the Wikia or the Custom Changes page to indicate that this would be the case, so I'd guess not but I can't be certain


I hope that answered them?

To be honest, Assassin and Avenger should probably be two separate classes as well simply because both of them have a quite distinct difference in roleplay and different alignment requirements. Chaotic Good and Chaotic Neutral characters shouldn't be able to pick either of those two classes, which they currently can. Then there's the whole thing where non-evil characters actually RP their assassin class as the assassin class, which they shouldn't. This whole situation waters down the roleplay of the Assassin class greatly IMO. Buuuuuuut it's an old rule, introduced in ancient times, and it's also probably one of the most popular classes on the server so I don't see that ever changing.

Doesn't stack.

I think so. But you can test this in Jegs to be sure.

One good, one evil. They also aren't exactly the same, actually: Anointed Knight gets the Heal skill, while Warrior of Darkness gets Hide and Move Silently. Also, the massive crit buff looks like a holy effect with AK and an evil/negative energy effect with WoD.
