Having talked o Mortui on Discord, it appears healing supplies besides potions haven't been added to the higher level quests. Such as healing wands, kits and scrolls. Lower level quests seem ok!

@Prof-Misclick said in Healing for fighters that doesn't break expertiese.:

If monsters are hitting too often then their AB needs to be looked at

If monsters are doing too high a percentage of hp per hit then DMG needs to be looked at

Consumables are supposed to be rare/expensive so they are a “holy shit button” @Chips :trade_mark: intending to deal with major obstacles. They can make the general stuff easier but the trade off is gp for easier xp.

Fighters will be getting kits (same with Barbs and Monks) as a priority to help offset current deficiency and add some thematic flavour.

PC crafting is being worked on and will be implemented as soon as we can to allow for slightly lower cost consumables

Potions and wands are being made and added to stores with price tweaking as we go to find the sweet spot between cost, availability and need. We are trying to move away from the required potion chug before every quest.

Quests are constantly being tweaked regarding loot provides, gold given and overall challenge.

That’s how we are going to make things balanced. Not adding stuff to fix a problem that is only a problem because other things are not in place.

I am not in favour of healing not breaking expertise. As Apple said it will just become “the proper way to play a fighter/tank” instead of a possible choice. Having that as a kit feature would be plenty cool though.

In short we know there is still a lot of work to be done so thanks for the continued patience.

I agree, i think healing should break expertise.

Orc kits

Orc Tribal

Run of the mill orc fighter from the tribes around Arabel. Follow orc pantheon

Must be orc, pure barbarian.

Level 4: Weapon prof: exotic
Level 6: Bonus Feat: Toughness

Disciple of Shargass

A feral orc been taught by the infamous clergy of Shargaas

At least 1 level Rogue, orc only. Follow Shargaas

Level 4: Exotic Weapon Prof
Level 6: Bonus Feat: Stealthy

Kenku Kits

Designed to make sneaking easier for martial classes

Class: Any, except Rogue or Ranger

Can cast invisible once per day, can cast darkness once per day, can cast expedious retreat once per day

Certainly something to consider, but this seems a good compromise until we can get something like that up and tested.

Oh that was just brainstorming possibilities, if a specific Bless Weapon alteration is possible! Like how the flame weapon alterations change the damage type, whereas bless weapon token might change it from damage vs undead to damage vs something else. Since the set is specifically designed vs reptiles, and does have paladin spell slots. :) If something like that is possible it could open the doors to other new thematic toys for other racial slaying.

Eventually there will be a gladiator system that will roughly generate loot/creature with a challenge rating between 1-4, and you win a piece of loot appropriate for the challenge/level of the encounter.

1-4 = weak gladiator battle.
5-8 = medium gladiator battle
9-13= difficult battle.

The player would deposit an amount of gold (non-refundable) and would say 'start' and whatever. details pending.

As for the True Sun Tournaments- they are done by me, for the explicit purpose for my enjoyment. No one needs to participate if they don't want to.

Would enemies not dropping loot and having chests not be an easier way? This is only a really a problem in DM events.

Adjustments made to summons at various levels.

I've got something in the works

There are still a couple quests which haven't been done yet :) For now... It is hard though, I will say that, even with optimized parties because we are essentially doing this on Hard Mode +. What I can say from experience is that buffs like barkskin and stuff aren't a luxury. They are absolutely 100% mandatory for the quests in their current balance, and with npc prices there is a really big difference in quest challenge and reward/sustainability. You can easily hit a point where you can't quest because you don't have buffs/healing, and can't get buffs/healing because you can't quest.

But it is still a work in progress! Once loot has been added, or some encounters tweaked, we'll be able to see what the bigger picture is like. At the moment though.... Buckle up buckaroo and get ready to score some bragging rights of "Yea I did all that stuff before it even had rewards!"

Echoing this after watching another roll of 1's and 3's. It'd be nice to have some flavor and variety!
