Re: What are the proper stats for a level 50 shield?

And, finally, our analysis didn't include anything on hitroll percentage calculations - presumably since we're not changing hitroll in this thought experiment, all of the individual attacks would continue to hit at the same rates, thereby maintaining our calculations accurately. I mention this beca...

Re: What are the proper stats for a level 50 shield?

Thanks for weighing in EB! It seems like our numbers are fairly close. Just for posterity, here's a little more detail about the assumptions I made: I did take the probabilities of the different autoattacks into account, based on some comments you made a few years ago :lol: The only difference was i...

Re: What are the proper stats for a level 50 shield?

Okay, my math was indeed off. I had always thought that second and third attack applied to the offhand weapon, too. Here's my corrected numbers, which are a little less outrageous: If a shield has the same damroll bonus as the weapon it replaces, it reduces the AA damage of Elves and Druids by 40% a...

What are the proper stats for a level 50 shield?

I'm continuing a conversation Xorex and I were having in chat the other day: how could shields become more useful? Obviously they aren't useless for Illithids, and there are some niche situations where a character might temporarily opt for a shield. But, particularly at the higher mortal levels, it ...

Re: Scavenger hunt!

Wilder found some root beer, so excluding the forum post and the tip from Oakley, which aren't really applicable anymore, he's at 12/19 items.

Is there a rule of thumb for how much the mana cost of spells goes down as you level?

Re: Scavenger hunt!

Wilder has expressed some interest in this scavenger hunt, so I’m rebooting it. I’ve forgotten what most of these items were, so I will be just as surprised as him when he finds them.

Hopefully EB will donate a prize. Otherwise the reward will be a ton of gold.

Re: Various questions from returning player

I think skills are capped at 95%. Improvements in practice level seem to get progressively rarer. I believe shopkeepers keep their inventory until the server resets. You’ll have to find new loot to sell and new shopkeepers to sell to. We can do some experiments in the arena if you want to figure out...
