Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Good day,

As the subject says, I think it would increase variety and potentially promote more roleplay if the deity specific PRCs would be opened up to clerics of other gods with overlapping portfolios. Example:

Silverstar now also available to Sehanine, Shar, Eilistraee, Shargaas, etc
Techsmith now also available to Moradin, Oghma, Flandal Steelskin, Geb, Thoth, etc
Morninglord now also available to Silvanus, Yondalla, Osiris, Horus Re, etc
Stormlord now also available to Akadi, Aerdrie, Isis, etc

Would have to be renamed or descriptions updated similar to Phantom from Ninja, but I think it'd be great!

Wouldn't it water down those PRCs ? Unless there are lore reasons to open up some of those PRCs to other gods I'd rather not do that. Otoh there are specialty PRCs for a ton of gods, I won't make any promise to do them all but if a couple are are asked by many people and are feasible within NWN2 then that's interesting.

I think the better option is to implement more deity specific PRCs

There's literally no reason lore-grounded reason why those deity-specific PRCs should be opened to other deities. Even though it might be nice for some of the players mechanically with their concept, it would break the setting's consistency and immersion.

To make it have sense, we'd have to waterdown the PRCs and take away all of the lore associated with them. On top of that, some of the skills that those classes give don't get along with the deities you've proposed to open them up for. Silverstars work to -destroy- Shar, not work for her. They even have abilities to protect against Shadow Weave.

True, but that requires more work. This was just a work around to that.

There isn’t, I agree. Which is why I recommended the renaming and lore change, kind of like Phantom was redone from Ninja.

There are, I love the variety. But the number of hands able to implement them as you well know, are not alot. This was just a recommended work around.

I suppose what I mean is that I wouldn't want such a change to go in. I play on this server for Forgotten Realms setting and that would simply lower my, personal, experience with the server itself as a roleplayer.

No lore does not need to be any more watered. As for making new ones, i would just go through the list of most - medium played faiths and reward those with a PrC.

Okay

Seconded! That being said I understand it's a lot of work. And not being a coder myself it's not something I could volunteer to help with.

As the subject says, I think it would increase variety and potentially promote more roleplay if the deity specific PRCs would be opened up to clerics of other gods with overlapping portfolios. Example:

Silverstar now also available to Sehanine, Shar, Eilistraee, Shargaas, etc
Techsmith now also available to Moradin, Oghma, Flandal Steelskin, Geb, Thoth, etc
Morninglord now also available to Silvanus, Yondalla, Osiris, Horus Re, etc
Stormlord now also available to Akadi, Aerdrie, Isis, etc

Would have to be renamed or descriptions updated similar to Phantom from Ninja, but I think it'd be great!

This would not promote Roleplay. This would literally destroy the very reason these PRC exist in the first place.
