Re: Blade singer
I have to say, as one of the long term elven players of the server, and one who has spent a really long time in a position of influence in a focal guild, I sincerely hope the people that make bladesingers are very limited, and that those who do are bound by lore in their RP. I find the potential immersion breaking powerbuilding to be a little disturbing. Tantive has pushed for this PRC, but Tantive has spent countless hours RPing the training and dedication needed to become a bladesinger. I would almost prefer this class be considered application only, because it should be relatively rare to find bladesingers.

Re: Blade singer
There are tons of better power builds for gish types. Anyone who power builds and chooses blade singer is doing it wrong. Not that they're bad, they aren't...it's just that 6/10 progression and the high feat requirements leaves a lot to be desired.kellendril wrote:I have to say, as one of the long term elven players of the server, and one who has spent a really long time in a position of influence in a focal guild, I sincerely hope the people that make bladesingers are very limited, and that those who do are bound by lore in their RP.

Re: Blade singer
Thing is, Bladesinger has very strict RP requirements in PNP, and I think you should consider those if you are planning to make one, or you will find that the elves of the server react accordingly.Skalden wrote:Well i hope there is no restriction to it, for me this class suits my ideas of best char magic and sword together glad it is soon to be inor is something changed in timeline for it? still end of month i hope?

Its the elven version of a paladin in a rp sense, But well we don't make paladins application only.kellendril wrote:Thing is, Bladesinger has very strict RP requirements in PNP, and I think you should consider those if you are planning to make one, or you will find that the elves of the server react accordingly.Skalden wrote:Well i hope there is no restriction to it, for me this class suits my ideas of best char magic and sword together glad it is soon to be inor is something changed in timeline for it? still end of month i hope?

Re: Blade singer
Not sure I entirely agree there, because the depth of training that an elf would have to go through to be a full fledged Bladesinger and pass muster would take a very long time, and the bladesingers are supposed to be dedicated to the elven way of life, though I think paladins should also be very much bound by their RP and subject to losing their spells and abilities if they offend their deity. In the case of the bladesinger, that doesn't work as the magic doesn't come from a deity.

Re: Blade singer
Technically, nope. Half elves have hurdles in age and willingness. Cause its mostly taught from a master to an apprentice. And teaching it to a half elf is frowned upon too. And possibly even considered so the half elf had stolen the secrets, which by then would mean you'de be hunting that half elf for the crime.

Re: Blade singer
Honestly, I think it will be up to the elven community to police the bladesingers, which kinda stinks. If you can't commit to the rp, make another build in NWN2DB

Re: Blade singer
I would love to roleplay this class properly, which is why I hope someone would like to be a mentor/teacher for her.

You don't have to run around telling people that you are superior, simply because your perfected excellence already shines through every action you do. Even the most mundane the action you perform, you do with so much grace and elegance no other race could ever hope to match.
Friend of mine is playing a elf on the server now who hides a reall small and subtle insult into everything he says. Really fun rp.
