Let me join the flow… hm… weird thing that I can’t think of favorite class, common or prestige. I just love the fact that each of them get it’s proper recognition in story at some point…
…hm-hm-hm…
Blast it, let’s pick Necromancer for prestige. Like that special scene IF you choose to reveal yourself by animating army…
My necromancer actually succesfully united kingdom without undead army and with only elves and halflings out of all demihumans(He kinda racist. Halflings were taken in almost accidentally and elves got invited by Vale).
Interesting to see if we have another epic opportunity for reveal in third game.
Also, for common classes… let it be Thug. For unique alternative to charismatic approach XD
I just love the fact that I could combine some of my favorite classes.
My knight-druid-dragonrider who also has a Griffin companion is just plain awesome. Being a druid, my character can live a very long life with his Green scaled dragon. Huzzah for immortality!
The third level of druid, obrained in LH2 (which he can’t get if he’s a knight-druid-dragonrider), grants immortality. Probably a hold over from high level (or was it based on their rank?) getting that in D&D since at least 2nd edition.
In games and fantasy, druids do not age (“biological inmortality”, kind of like lobsters), or age more slowly. There are at least two mentions inside the game (you can even rejuvenate when dealing with bunta).
When you get the archdruid title, you stop aging, and gain shapeshifting abilities.
You know, lobsters aren’t really immortal. They eventually get so large that they can’t successfully molt and die as a result - so they do die around a certain age range. They just don’t tend to die from a huge variety of diseases or ailments when they get older like humans do.
is not correct to say that a lobster is inmortal, however, due to the amounts of telomerase in it’s body, we can say that lobster cells are, in a way, inmortal.
Well, I would probably advance one more rank in the next game.
My headcanon is that my character will probably have the time in the future to advance his rank after he is done with the throne and goes hippy on everyone and disappears from the face of Daria. He’ll probably go around collecting magical beasts and create a reserve for them while also stopping the desert from spreading ( because why the f*ck not).
A real druid would recognize that a desert is as natural an environment as any other and wouldn’t halt its spread unless it was growing via unnatural means (and maybe not even then, depending on circumstances).
Aren’t they supposed to maintain balance? It’s been a while since i’ve played the druid so I may be wrong about that, but Wouldn’t that mean stopping the desert’s expansion as it endangers the balance of ecosystems even if it is natural?
If it’s expands due to natural climatic changes in ecosystem, I doubt Druid should interfere. After all, they preserve Natural order. And such order includes growth, decline, gradual change… not Static Nature. Balance doesn’t mean Constant.
Well no it does not mean constant, but by its literal definition balance in this context is by its definition a condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions. So it seems in this context balance and the natural order cannot both be preserved; they would need to choose
That’s depending on what you see as “equal”. For me “equal” means self-maintaining as macro-system and slowly developeing.
So, if due to years of existence mostly green and lush planet/world became mostly desert-type, while still having healthy life/resource cycle, i’ll consider this part of natural balance. Thousands years later it may become otherwise. Such type of balance could be preserved in whole world timeline instead of single(fleeting for Mother Nature) timeframe.
. Also I’ve gotta ask, how the heck do you get a dragon?
