Shattered Kingdoms

Okay so I am a n00b but what are some of the names of the dwaves clans?

First name anyone thinks of in regards to names for Dwarven clans, Quae. It's the best clan ever.

Peso's post is not accurate.

Yeah.. even in my newblyness I can see a few things that are off. He's got the basics right though. No one does give them a proper chance and people keep following the advice for their spec.s (Or just plane weapon suggestions for barbs) based on what is popular, when each race, player, and player group can significantly alter what is and will be good for them.

Right before people laughed at the sickle my dorf, Orrin, was ripping things to bits. He was one of these fabled MC dwarves and that helped him be pretty stout, but I'm sure creative people can get along just fine without having to go into that specific group.

Though, I will NEVER forget the time that Orac's dwarf and mine fought in Nerina with like three other PCs who had to send in a sorc. to petrify us and we took like near zero damage. I had my spec.ed long sword ( ) on too, so we could have probably owned even harder had I had my sickle by that point.

I've stated it time and again, but Orrin was prime to be a PK machine but I need to stick with my RP [REDACTED] mentality.. He had very little RP, so he went into the trash. If I had him back I could make him pretty awesome all around, but you don't get second chances like THAT in Sk. Meh..

As with a lot of things in SK it takes the right player behind the keys to make it work. There were plenty of people who would rock the average giant or dwarf with a helf merc. So really it all lands on the style of how you play and what you pull off.

Or maybe I'm still too much of a newb.

I know that I am n00b but I am not that much of a n00b. Quae was the name of all the mud-sexing shim that RP out of the Five daggers! Fithly shiming [REDACTED]!

Dwarves are the best available race right now for melee classes.

Now... I can't tell you why.

But, they are.

Thanks,
Bye.

I bet theres leet script lewt in the game he's not elling us about and gives dorfs mega buff + 1.

Moved this topic to Gameplay.

Dwarves are certainly the least played race in the game - less even than centaurs. I was thinking about a possible new innate ability for them. I thought I'd go ahead and let people comment and improve on it:

Name: Earthmeld

Syntax: earthmeld

This ability builds calls upon the dwarven heritage of being in close contact with the earth. When used, it drains an appropriate amount of mana or move. While in effect the dwarf cannot be moved from his location - he cannot be tripped or bashed but also cannot move. This ability cannot be used while flying or mounted. Most likely you could stop using the ability at any time by typing the command a second time.

Comments? Would it make dwarves more desireable? Overpowering? Underpowered?

Dwarves do need something, but I think this would completely overpower them. Find a priest or shaman, get 50 heal flasks. Have all your flasks out, get into a fight, type the command for the ability, and..You'd never die.

Wow, an (insert cabal spell here) for bash and trip AT ONCE. That's INSANE, Dulrik. I want to be constructive, believe me - and suggest a way to make it better...but I can't think of anything besides "holy CRAP".
That's an all or nothing thing - and that's definitely all. Aedus was badass enough as it is. Just imagine if he couldn't be bashed or tripped. Just give dwarves a mining/weaponmaking tradeskill. People will play them then.
