Re: Questions - Diaspora IV

Someone acted on information from a background post? I am shocked! (Sarcasm detected - I did not put any posts up for a reason)

Re: Kn Rule Feedback

You are overestimating the utility of spells. Taking a Realm spell who's sole function is to counter another specific Realm Spell is not flexible. Taking the "destroy undead" spell eats up a Realm Spell slot. If people reduce the use of Legion because of the Anti-Legion spell - you are effectively w...

Re: Kn Rule Feedback

I am saying this as a Wizard myself. I think it is good I cannot just defect everything in sight without fear of failure making a Source 1 basically a "you cannot invade me until you have 20 units" - this is a bad mechanic.

Re: Kn Rule Feedback

Defection is an auto-win spell at low domain-strength for negligible cost. It prevents conflict by it's very existence. Adding a method of making Defection potentially not the best option - while it might very well stay the best option a lot of the time - is a net good.

Re: Kn Rule Feedback

Otherwise - 9/10 Defection is just the only and obvious answer to everything. If it is always the best answer - it is too good - or there is no situation where it isn't reasonably good - and that is bad design.

Re: Kn Rule Feedback

I agree. It adds tactically interesting requirements. Did my enemy pre-cast Courage? Do they even have access to it? Do I dare risk casting Defection when it may fizzle? I'd only comment that Courage feels more like Combat and Army more like War. I'd flip the Spheres required if you are trying to na...

Re: Kn Rule Feedback

If you take all the good schools of Wizardry - you are a Wizard with full Plate and better HP and due to WIS bonus to spells/day you actually end up with more spells even than a specialist wizard - it's only the theoretical loss of level 8-9 spells.

Re: Kn Rule Feedback

You can have a Priest that is better at fighting than a Fighter or a Priest that is a better thief than a Thief. You can have a Priest that is probably a better Wizard than a Wizard. There is actually almost no limit on what a Priest can do in this game.
