Cool, well thats been sorted. I am hoping not for a Bard but instead something unusual...not an archer or bowazon remake...but something like a knife thrower, spear/javalin thrower or slinger even.

Just soooo sick of the boring predictable classes....

Barbarian I can understand for cross over of ...

Are you kidding or hinting on what someone has leaked? Not fair! :)

If it is a Bard that would also be very cool.

Bard's from the D&D world have normally been under powered or at least used as a team buffer rather than a stand alone character.

So if they go down this track maybe we could be ...

Yeah I am interested also to see the total damage output.
I am doing around 4000 odd damage using Barnars Star (weapon), and having the holy fire aura on + lightning aura from the Dream helm...

The trouble always is with these type of builds that rely on rune words and socketed weapons is finding ...

I have a question...

Say I was wearing a Dream helm (which grants level 15 lightning aura) and was a paladin character...would the damage output increase if I put points into resist lightning aura (as a synergy)?

Same thing goes if I was using Doom (which grants cold aura) etc...

If this is the ...

Just tested it and yes they do stack. :)

So now my concept of having lightning, fire and cold auras all at the same time is proven. :)

Currently I have fire aura at 25lvl and wearing Dream helm (15lvl lightning aura)...now all I need is a Doom weapon...and a merc that has a polearm runeword that ...

If they activate the skill.

Does this mean that a lightning aura + fire aura + cold aura (lets say I was wearing Dream helm for lightning aura, using weapon Doom for cold aura and was using a Paladin that had Holy fire aura going) will cause fire + cold + lightning damage against all enemy monsters within range?

Could be a Rogue....hope not though...a little bit predictable then.

Something completely different would be great...like the Shaman.

Why not something like Knife thrower or Javelin/Spear throwing Hunter or something.....

I get a little bit bored with the arrow thingy....if they are going down ...

Hi everyone,

Just to state that I am looking forward to D3's release. Regardless of whether it will be more colourful, less gritty blah blah....Blizzard always cranks out great games so absolutely looking forward to it. (got that out of the way)

I have 2 predictions....a Ranger or Skirmisher of ...

I have to absolutely agree with Siberys on this one and even go one step further to say that customisation is the key to the essence of what makes a RPG game an RPG game. The Diablo games have always featured this as one of its strong points.

D1 vs D2 is an interesting question - if I had to make a ...

quoted by Noober "I didn't bother playing Titan Quest but judging by the fact it is dead and widely panned I doubt it was particularly good, and D2 has far more real character options than NWN. With respect to tying stats to skills, that is already effectively done in D2 as say, to use a good bow ...

Urquan Masters (Starcontrol 2) - downloaded as a free game online
- Gameplay is just awesome with this oldie :)

Bladerunner - (detective/shootem up game) Westwood studios released this game some time ago....great fun and has multiple endings depending how you do things throughout the course of the ...

There are a few announcements that I have noticed such as DPS stats being added to D3 and a few others (from interviews) which lead me to believe that there are a few ideas from TQ (or numerous other action rpg games that have DPS etc) creeping into the D3 framework.

I still think D3 will be a far ...

I agree with both. It is hard to knock something unless you have tried it. However on that note of trying it...it doesn't sound too appealing to my style of DMing (and the group I play with).

I believe the DM should be a constant - he is the story teller and the one who has control on the events ...

I agree and disagree Siberys,

Yes you are right in saying cross gender games have been around a while. But like I said in the title I am comparing TQ with D3.

TQ did get ideas from D2 and then made TQ a superior game because of it. And from the looks of it so is D3 (taking from D2) but I just hope ...

By the sounds of it Blizzard has taken a leaf out of Iron Lore's book with the inclusion of be able to chose man or woman characters (from what I can tell).

It will be very interesting if Titan Quest can still hold a following of players even when D3 comes out.

I just hope that Blizzard continues ...

If the DM is going to repeatedly use wish to save a "villain" character he really needs to think about rewarding the characters xp for the encounter anyways.

Another thing to note is that "wishes" have limitations. Yes maybe he could wish himself back alive but it is using a magical item and if he ...

I agree with Gawain and Siberys...

The shift from AD&D to 3rd edition was more of playability and comon sense change.

I have been playing D&D right from the first red box set came out right through and yes AD&D was fun once you came to grips with constantly referring to tables and the like for ...

All I can say is max out Sleep from the Dream tree. This basically will put to sleep whole clusters of monsters with a single cast and has a very quick recharge so you can cast multiple times.

Also don't forget the Nightmare pet....essential pet for boosting the potency of your wolves/nymph.

Good ...

Don't forget other possibilities such as Bracers of AC, Amulets of Res/Prot/Nat.Armr etc, spectacles of True Seeing/Darkvision etc, belts of dexterity/freedom of movement etc and boots of Speed/dexterity/fortitude/res/prot. etc....

Spectacles and belts especially are item slots that are hard to ...
