Are you a dwarf by chance?

My 17 fvs 3 bard will be incredible melee, spells and healing!

I've already been working on caster dragonlord V2, this time with a lot of dragon breath, and wildmage is key to the process

​@@Strimtomwould a gnome work good as well for Pale Master? Ithink they did away with deep gnome cause I did not see it in character creation for the race at all.

@@brentbaker649 Deep gnome is under iconic, not race. First tab on character creation

@@Strimtom thank you

Yeah I really want to try this, especially since the aura is supposed to be able to proc the wild magic

Shadar Kai :)

@@daviddeandres7202 they are a human subrace.

They add whatever is easiest. Because they can recycle the Elf / Human / etc model, they save time on recreating new armor art and animations. It sucks, but that's the reason why the game has so many races that look pretty similar.

@@brothabuzz I'd rather have nothing than a lazy reskin.

@@user-vo2cw5yu9w to be fair, I don’t think they have a super great budget to work with. It’s only lazy because that’s the type of funding they’re working with

They have lizard folk in game actually so couldn’t be too hard to make a playable lizard folk race.

Kind of. Elves in DND lore basically tend to take on aspects of their environment. So elves that live in the sea become sea elves and elves that live in the forest become wood elves. So Eladrin are just elves that live in the feywild and have their fey nature beefed up a bit. Its kind of like different flavors of Pepsi and Eladrin are Pepsi Max.

To be fair, the poll was in 2017 (which is a while ago, but like 7 years is really far back) and we got dragonborn, which is at least dragon related. I think if the expansion wasn't in a very elf centric area we probably would have gotten something else.

@@Strimtomdon’t sell out to favor SSG. This was a cheap/easy and just another elf race designed instead of giving players something actually new like kobold or Gith etc. at least they gave some new hair options ehh?

Never mind at least near the end of your video you state about not needing another elf. Thought you were selling out lol

@@Strimtom that’s fair . I just would really like a kobold race XD . I think a lot of people would enjoy that.

@@middleagedgamers7750 I posted this in another thread on this video, but the reality is I don't see any difference between Eladrin and Genasi other than the name. They literally could have left the visuals the same and change references to spring/summer/autumn/winter to air/fire/earth/water and changed nothing else in the design and called it Genasi and people complaining about it being "another elf" would have been quiet. It really doesn't matter to me that it's called an elf or not. It's more about how it looks and how it's designed. I think it's a good addition in that regard. I do wish they'd have called it genasi just to avoid the "another elf" comments from everyone since it's effectively the exact same thing, but it looks like it will be fun to run through some TR's on these.

You need to earn eladrin lives to get racial completionist back

And I am just starting last race for racial completionist

@@Strimtomthey are going to have a racial past life for sure?

@@middleagedgamers7750 Yes, +1 Listen +1 Dex +1 Racial point

@@Strimtom Well another racial action point is always nice at least.

Yeah... I'm STILL looking for a better chrome-dome (shaved-head) option on most...

Licensing issues I believe

Krynn was long considered hard-to-reach by spelljammer or even planeswalking... There's also some serious game-mechanism issues, if you think in terms of "original" Krynn (equivalent to AD&D 3.5 _without_ Eberron **at best** ... building AP trees from the ground up to merge Krynn into DDO? Designers being burnt out in droves ... and THEN consider the whole cosmologic basis of the wizard segmentations. YIKES!). Still... would LOVE to see kender, Solamnic knights, and mechanics for post-Cataclysm, pre-War Of The Lance environment conditions!

33 sneak attack die for using dash out of invisible for 10s 👀

Yep!

Sweet, thanks ST

Great idea! I love sorcerer, so doing a new sorc build should be simple.

Thank you so much for responding in a quick and agreeable fashion. You are a household name here. Wishing you great success and looking forward to your future videos.

That might be too strong though. Gotta have trade offs for multi class and loosing higher tier spells is part of it.

@@middleagedgamers7750 You can do some fun things with lesser caster classes though (like bard). I honestly think 4 WM/16 bard for stormsingers is going to be the go to. That adds immunity stripping without losing caster levels due to mixed magic and you still get 2 level 6 spells (max for bard). I honestly don't know if you need more than 2 level 6 spells as a stormsinger. Warlocks also get their top level spells at level 16. I'm not sure if it works as well with different primary attributes, but artificers and alchemists get their top level spells at level 15, Paladin and Ranger get theirs at 14. I think people will be finding some interesting multiclass combos with those. Warlocks can benefit a lot from the immunity stripping. The big benefit to the mixed magic feat is for when your wild magic sorcerer is your primary class. It lets you throw two levels of pretty much any other class in without gimping your sorceror spellcasting. You can still use meteor swarm or iceberg and have 2 FVS levels for close wounds, 2 thief or monk levels for evasion, 2 arti levels for rune arms, 2 AOS levels for eldrich chain , 1 wizard for a metamagic feat and added hp available from eldrich warrior/pale master.1 barbarian for movement speed etc. Lots of splash ideas are now on the table for a sorc.

@Fububoo - particularly on older / less-advanced hardware under Windows 10/11: close all of your browsers BEFORE starting DDO. Yes, this would include everything else that you can besides *maybe* a basic text editor [Notepad, or Sublime Text] plus Windows Explorer & Task Manager. Helps further to make your initial setup of the game to use minimal screen resolutions and any other minimum-resource option available (THEN, after you have it running, ease back up the scale... devinitrly 1024 or less to start!)

Especially considering it's the Year of the Dragon, it was probably Kobold's best shot.
