Post subject:  Race issues

I was just wondering if it´s possible that my char can be converted to a vampire. I know that race option is disabled and was when i created my char but since other ppl have races is it possible to change mine now?

yes it is entirely possible,

although your fate is entirely in the hands of whichever gm does it for you. as they could overlook something in a rush, it could be in your favor, or it could be bad against you.

my advice is to get someone who truly understands races, stones, classes, and skills, like me or regiss or ashes or most pple in lov. and have them offer advice to you before you get with staff. that way you will be able to help them double check everything that needs to be done.

but it can easily be done by any gm.

Ok, well ill just have to wait and se what the gms will say then. Its just that since all the old players, which is about 70% of the players had the option to choose a race and i wouldnt have been a human if i had a choice.

Is the starting skills/stats different between human and vampire? I started as human with 11 str 11 dex 11 int 50 tactics and 50 healing. If these skills or stats should be higher then starting as a vampire i´d be glad to lower them to what they shouldve been as a vampire. And if its vice versa i dont want them to be raised i just want the 100 more skill cap and the abilitys.

WTF?? are races back now??

No, this is just a request to get one since some people have races and according to Drizzt its possible to convert the char if only the gms will agree to it

lmao fat chance its gonna happen though. If the Gms change your char then EVERYONE will be bugging them. So unless your good buddies with a GM I wouldn't bother. And yes the starting skills of a race char are different than a human. You don't get to allocate skills such as your 50 healing 50 tatics. The starting skills of race chars were predetermined. Im not sure what they where for Vampires though.

see this topic for the entire discusion http://www.dxgaming.com/phpbb/viewtopic ... light=race

good luck to you in your ventures!

Oh well as for now i can just gm swords, parry, anatomy, tactics, archery and healing. Those skills is useless unless i have resist, ofcourse i could get rid of archery and get resist instead but that would suck against a mage since all he would do is run around and me not inflicting 1 single dmg point.

So if i cant have both archery and resist including the other 5 theres completely no point of me playing cause ill suck against mages.

Only reason for me to play or anyone else who´s new for that matter atm is to be a mage and since i dont wanna be a mage... what should i do?

I read the whole thread dedo and the singal it sends is that the old players are the only ones who should have the advantage and all the new players shouldnt even start unless they want to be a mage. Also i saw Thassius was talking about the option of giving humans 100 higher skill cap and 30 magery cap. What about the race stone then? if race stones work for the current vampires and whatnot, why would it be impossible to throw in the race stone aswell?
Sorry to say this but, why the f*** should the old players have a race and the new ones not having the option to chose one, only solution to this is either make EVERYONE human or let everyone chose whatever race they like since according to drizzt its possible.

Im back on obsidian for the 3rd or 4th time now and im familiar with the different races and my thoughts on the humans are that theyre only good for crafters and mages. Warrior humans will never stand a chance neither against a vampire warrior or a human mage.

Anyhow im not the one with the powers all i know is that if i dont get to be equal with everyone else, which makes the most sense right? I really have to consider wether to quit playing here or not.

Dude, Do gm swords, parry, Resist, tactics, archery, healing and 60 anatomy. Dunno what you would do about poisoning.

if they get rid of race chars then they lose the vets.

we all want races back but BB disabled them Im sure for a good reason not all vets have Vamps. I myself have a human warrior, she sucks no doubt but I deal with it. You just have to start makeing powerful allies :D or make a mage.

I would suggest make a human warrior and just have fun. Its a game after all, dont leave the house alone and look both ways before you cross the street.

well first thats 60 over cap, but even if i was given 100 more skill cap there would still be the difference with the race stone. and all this is just about unjustice which i dont so the reason for... because some of you guys been here longer then me?

Oh well i still dont know what the verdict will be but im assuming i wont get what i want, so now im questioning it since i saw what thassius wrote in the other thread.

No its not
human skill cap is 660 or 680, cant remember.

Post subject: 

Dedo i was not trying to make everyone a human im just saying since races apparently work for some of you why cant the gms give us the stone and cap aswell? only thing thats bugged as i understand it is the racechamber.

Difference between you and me dedo is that you made a human warrior which was your decision. I didnt make the decision to be a human warrior and be worthless

Xkill youre right now i remember, as you say its 680, in that case im not as screwed as i first thought :)

thassius has been busy lately eventually he will stop ignoring us :D the human skill cap is around 680 but is slightly different for each player. As far as I remember Races were only disabled so they could be fixed. I could be way off there. But you have to admit that it would be unfair to players who took the time to gm another skill to suddenly take that away. Eventually staff will get this sorted out and maybe then 75% of the shard would be happy. something will always be out of balence though.

how could getting the races back be unfair and as i just said its a VERY stupid thing to make everyone a human and just as stupid idea that is, well the same goes for us new players not having the option to chose
