Shattered Kingdoms

I'm aware, but why are religious spells 'better' for light/cloth faiths than heavy if magical vestments sorted it all out?

I'm rather confused.

Nobody said that magical vestment sorted anything out.

Magical Vestment didint sort it out, if even becuase thats just one more spell to hold.

Magic vestment did not balance anything out, because of the fact that it is another spell to hold. You might have an argument if the spell did not require concentration but was on a timer.

Dulrik basically said that cloth religion spells will be easier and/or more effective than other religion spells.

Tthe answer you need is...

Yes.

Dulrik, thank you for spending time on our game! Good job.

Even though I didn't get my damn goblins, I must admit this is a job well done.

Good job, Dulrik.

I love the changes, though I've yet to experience these throwing NPCs. Does "sentient NPC" include tribunal NPCs? And does that change if I bring a trib NPC into my group?

Okay, as I am experiencing at this very moment, Necro's get screwed period. I am here with 3 elite undead but I can't walk through Zhensh because I have golden griffons spawning and throwing axes at me that take 30% of my hp per hit. Now normally I would go Ethereal, but I can't really do that because somehow these griffon barbarians learned to fade into ether, so I use mirror image scrolls which 4 scrolls last me oh about 5 fights, without guarunteed protection, how am I supposed to avoid getting hit when I have 3 griffons pop up throwing what appears to be unlimited axes at me? I have to sleep after every fight and were I be in a PK situation I'd be severely hindered by this fact, I think something needs to be done either about the bounty NPCs going ethereal, or them not having throwing weapons.

I dont see why all throwing is always targeted at the player. It seems quite strange considering you are trying to make it no different between NPCs and PC. If I have a charmy how are they going to know its a charmy, shouldnt they be attacking the guy who is lumping them over the head rather than throwing weapons at the guy sitting behind them doing nothing.

Throw should be a part of the AI and slot in next to should I bash trip cast a spell etc. It should not be I throw every round because I know thats a PC behind that bear and if I kill him the bear will wander off harmlessly. Also spawning weapons on the spot seems a bit lame considering if a PC carried around so many weapons they would lose their dodge bonus to AC because of weight. Put some lag time into spawning weapons if its not already there might balance things out. Bash lag to spawn three to five weapons sounds reasonable.
