<p>Right now it plays like a video game or a MUD. Combat comes out the worst because it is so terribly spammy, like someone is hitting the same key on their keyboard as fast as they can. Demoralize, Demoralize, Grapple! Trip, Trip, Grapple! Grapple, Attack, Attack! It's because all of these things are 1 action, and everyone gets three of them no matter their level. And then you have combatants scurrying all around the battlefield like insects. It's just silly.</p>
<p>And that's just combat. The more I play this thing, the less I like it. It combines the worst elements of 4E and MMOs into one package, then layers on a "let's kill the party!" mindset.</p>Davor wrote:My point was not that those were the only things that needed fixing, but that once those major issues are sorted (updating feats, which you mentioned, giving all classes better supportive options [other classes good at healing, which you mentioned], and making ancestry a bit less fiddly, which you mentioned), the game will be a much better state.

<p>Also I haven't checked what it looks like at higher levels, but a level 5 barbarian would only heal about 20% of their max HP each time and I suspect that'll decrease sharply as maximum HP outpaces their healing, which just means that the higher level the character (and consequently, the more damage monsters are assumed to be able to deal), the less viable they'll be.</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>And you also have vigor as your 3rd action each round if you're getting a pounding for round by round temp HPs.</blockquote><p>I did poke at this a bit and it looks like vigor up until the mid levels should absorb one average attack from a monster of your level, and afterwards gets outpaced by monster damage. It's never a <i>bad</i> use of an action as far as I can tell (especially if it stacks? I'm assuming it doesn't, but didn't actually see anything saying it wouldn't), but it's a stiff race against the kinds of damage monsters deal.

<p>Now that 90% of martial damage comes from their magic weapons, sunder enchantment on them is bonkers. </blockquote><p>That'll help for monsters which use magic items, for sure (assuming you connect). Looking at the bestiary for level 14 monsters, there are four critters, one of which uses magic weapons (and it has a nasty backup attack). You'd be reducing its damage from 3d8+14 with 2d8 persistent bleed to 1d10+7 with 2d6 fire and 1d8 persistent fire, or just causing it to fly out of reach and use its 4d8+4 damage missile with 2d8 persistent fire.
<p>That persistent damage is liable to be a killer, since you can never get the flat check DC below 15, and that's if you're spending actions to do things like douse the fire or perform Medicine checks (though by that level you should be making the DC 15 check to do so automatically — hell, the barbarian himself, even with 10 WIS, probably can't fail that check even without a single point in Medicine).</p>
<p>That's a problem of persistent damage, but it's going to hurt even more for the character who only heals as much as a single healing spell every hour. :\</p>shroudb wrote:It's not paltry.

<p>You start with X number of skill trainings that you can pick from your class skills, skills from intelligence bonus can be any skill, making them a class skill for you.
<br />
When you hit level 5 you may become expert in any class skill, or trained in a non-class skill.
<br />
At 9 you can become master in any signature skill, or expert in non-class skills.
<br />
At 13 you can become legendary in a class skill or master in a non-class skill.
<br />
At 17 you can become legendary in any skill.</p>
<p>Everyone can eventually become legendary in any skill.
<br />
Certain classes can get it sooner.
<br />
Multiclass feats can give you 1 skill from their list to yours, except rogue which would give 2.</p>
