Even with these changes exploration is largely not worth it. Very low rewards for very difficult encounters. There's not much point to the open world areas. The loot's objectively worse than questing. Learning the languages is largely fluff/plot. Dragging lower levelled players with you is just flat out dangerous and they're likely to get skill-walled by a jump or balance check and you'll lose them, so everyone on the trip needs to have a chiseled jawline.

I agree with your suggestions, just don't think it would be enough.

@chomperchomp

Actually the movement speed buff doesn't even show up for me.

It doesn't apply at all. I'm the same speed as normal speed mobs.

The same issue might apply to the 10% speed bonus but I didn't notice at the time, it didn't come up.

And yeah, when you use a movespeed buff it seems to cap out at 150% and then remove the buff altogether.

The 20% Movement speed bonus from level 7 Lycanthrope Hybrid form doesn't seem to be applying.

Deshifting and reshifting is occasionally required to apply the skin/claws/bite, so it might be part of the skin related issues.

Them spiders suck, yo.

I agree with this.

Death penalties are very weak at the moment.

Isabella Kaskandar, maid turned charity worker, a commoner who found a small fortune overnight, has been making rounds in the poorer regions of the city. She preaches of the heroes who saved her life to any who will hear her; House Vaylan and House Misrim. Drakuseth, Elmar, Grell, and Nyx.

What would otherwise be a message of praise from a common citizen has taken weight with food and a magical wand of healing, and finds itself on more willing ears.

1). Human/Bard/Chaotic Evil/Rannus Black
2). Apprentice of the Tower
3). Goals – Rannus’ focus is enchantment magic. At a tender age he found he had a gift to captivate with his vocal gifts, spending his youth seducing older women, spending their gold in gambling dens, and moving on when they were penniless. Now that he is in Arabel, at the vaunted tower of Raubagaush he wishes to explore taking this further to exact a degree of influence and manipulation through song.
Rannus wishes to accrue the most varied and complete library of exotic songs in Arabel. This will be accomplished by placing bounties on them, leading expeditions in pursuit of them, submitting stories, sonnets and songs to the powerful in return for their reward. He then intends to study and interpret them with a view to creating his own enchantment variations – sleep, confusion etc.
He will extend his expeditions and bounties into magic items and fantastical beasts as he looks to construct/commission musical instruments reflecting the unique properties of the creatures being hunted. Examples of this are a guitar made with Krenshar hair and the wood of a treant, and a cloak made from the skins of a wide variety of goodly fey.
Away from his musical pursuits, Rannus will foment hostilities between the Order of the True Sun and the Crimson Guard to distract the Knights from their studious investigations into the activity of the Tower. Both have expressed interests in hosting tournaments and have gone way to show their martial prowess, Rannus believes this could be expounded into a rivalry to occupy both parties. This owing to his resentment of rigid law and order, preferring, instead, chaos and mayhem.
Rivalling his hatred of law and order is a resentment of nobility and privilege, born of a typical anti-establishment mindset. He will contribute to efforts such as those of Joril D’Sable in forms of propaganda against the landed gentry, looking to combat the contrarian use of the terminology “Lord” Misrim in Arabels new meritocracy.

Suspiciously specific thing to have an AC bonus against.

Dig it.

Ban spiffy.
