About killing Iuz

Right now those toee gods (Ted especially) are busy building a new world, KOTB--& the kind of .dll hacking such a thing would entail is, I'm pretty certain, beyond any currently-active modder's ability, outside (perhaps?) of Spellslinger. So I'd surmise this is a case of 'do it if you want it' if you can. A guy named Bradwinri (sic) was working on it a while back and then kind of disappeared, search for his stuff for any tips he may have left behind.

 

Yeah, I kinda figured. Believe me, I have no desire to come off demanding and steal them away from that project. Just a spot of whimsical dreaming on my part. Perhaps I'll work up .dll-ing and see how long it takes me to sack the project.

 

Heh. Good to know. Sacked as of now...wow, didn't take long at all. Now I can free up that time for drinking :drunk: ! Actually, just wanted an excuse to use that smiley.

 

I'm sorry--I didn't mean to suggest you sounded demanding, it's actually something I've seen a number of people ask for and I was just kind of hurrying the conversation along to (what seemed to me) its inevitable conclusion. I also really didn't mean to talk for anybody--I'm just repeating a common theme.

Incidentally, if it (i.e. the inclusion of some new classes) WERE to be done, I actually get the impression it would make a lot of people happy. If you're serious about "work up .dll-ing" you would become a major hero round here. Which (again) isn't meant to say you should! It's just saying.

 

I agree with that completely. I myself have seen several people around (including myself) asking "When the new classes will be put in." A week from never was the answer, which made quite a few people angry. So, if it could be done, whoever would figure out how, they would worship at his feet. Literally, most likely.

 

Perhaps not, but I think he'd make a perfect Cavalier. It's like the very definition of what an evil knight would be.

EDIT: In the Great Kingdom of Aerdy, far to the east, they have an order known as the Demonic Knights of Doom...but these guys actually have demonic powers, ranks, etc., and are far more powerful than mere cavaliers.

 

Don't know. Anything with the moniker, "of doom," sounds a tad silly/cliche/trite...but of course, imho. I personally like Demonic Knights of Mostly Fiendish Qualities! Can't be having absolutes in D&D, oh no.

 

You do realize that the Overking is quite mad, don't you?

 

Funny - I actually remember the old, old Dragon Mag detailing the other alignment "champions" and all were distinctly listed NOT as Paladins, but as their own class.

Also, please note Thrommel hails from the lawful good kingdom(s) of Veluna and Furondy, so Paladin or "Paladin Lord" (one in the same IMO) he is lawful good, and his sword's alignment was most definitely prescribed by way of a typo!

 

Those old magazines had lots of unofficial classes in them, including Samurai, Ninja, Anti-paladins, etc. Cavaliers were there, too, as a pre-release of the Unearthed Arcana in 1985. My issues begin around the low #40's, and go through the early 100's - along with the first 3 copies of the "Best Of", with every ooold class you can imagine. Only the stuff slated for the UA release was "official" in nature. Cavaliers are their own class, albeit a sub-class of Fighters, and Paladins are a sub-class of cavalier. Cavaliers had more abilites (& restrictions) than fighters, and paladins were even more so; if they fell, they were still cavaliers.

 

But Paladins were a sub class of the fighter class (as was the ranger) before the cavalier was introduced. I'm referring to the player's hb and the dmg (before UA was written.)

 

personally i feel paladins are unecessary and all too frequently make PCs in dnd games ive played a hassle roleplay/diplomacy/creativity wise, the class doesnt make sense to me, paladins dont do anything a combat cleric couldnt, they just need to make some crusading/opposed alignment combating domains and youd be all set

of course i may be jaded because i always lean towards the evil alignments, and on occasion i dive headfirst with a running start, and i play with a guy who ALWAYS makes a paladin because he cant figure out how to deal good melee damage without smiting so i always have to creep around his moral code and we eventually have some party destroying conflict

 

haha nice, most of my friends and i are so blasphemous only the most saintlike or open minded semi-apathetic christians could ever tolerate us, evangelizing would only make us have to turn up our death metal

AND YET ONE STILL ALWAYS PLAYS A PALADIN AAAAAAARG why cant he have the zest for evil in dnd
