Chapter 1 questions and answers

Post questions here, and I will answer them to my best ability.
-
When should we start writing up apps?
-
Applications will be opened via announcement.
Suffice to say:
Dm Factions will not require an app initially.
Subraces will not be available immediately. A few lingering bugs will be sorted out in the Alpha. We want the game balanced for normal races- which means introducing more powerful subraces won't be helpful to this.

Do you have any plans for mounted combat?
Plans to get the monks to not suck at early levels?
Size changing script for the starting area?
Is there any custom mechanics that carry into the the v6 aside of the ranger changes? -
Do you have any plans for mounted combat?
Mounts are in consideration but a low priority wish, rather than a solid plan. Thus it is unlikely to have mounted combat on top of that any time soon.Plans to get the monks to not suck at early levels?
We aim to ensure that all classes are balanced between level 4-10Size changing script for the starting area?
We can now change the size of placeables and NPCs much easier, but we haven't discussed a size changing script for NPCsIs there any custom mechanics that carry into the the v6 aside of the ranger changes?
Too many to list, I'll let one of the mechanically savvy DMs answer this one ;) . -
Just a quick run by a DM for domains then?
-
Clerics don't need a check by a DM for their domains or creation, clerics just need to follow common sense and be prepared for remakes if they go totally off the chart. Aka no good/evil domain for example.

@Puffy thanks Puff!

Will the new version be fixed for the massive lag issues we had earlier this year?

I would say yes, for example it could take 20 minutes to open the old module in the toolset. Now it takes about 2 minutes.
Hubby has also worked very hard to removing unnecessary scripts and cleaning away script loops.
The massive lag from earlier this year was traced to AoE vfxs on bounty monsters, which have all been replaced with fun normal models without vfxs in the new version. -
What models will be used for Kenku PCs once they're available to players?
-
The standard wingless raven one :)

The setting describes it being just one year after the time of troubles. Am I correct in saying this means it has only been one year since the gods themselves roamed the planet?
Besides clerics, does this change how other divine classes drawn upon their powers in any way? Even though the gods are "silent", can magic users still draw upon their full strength as usual?

Correct. Paladins draw upon their powers from the greater cosmic good, however, the standard paladin LG oaths apply.

Monks don't suck, period. Just don't try to play them like you would a fullplater with shield and you're good.

Will we retain the ranger/druid companion system?
-
With the stories and history of old gone, will we retain a secion of the forums dedicated to preserve what happened in the last 17 years?
