Thanks, that was highly informative.

I live to give.
Sakr2010-12-12 22:45:18
that's merian, what is merian with your specialization? Are you planning on changing guilds or something?
(Edit: Go faeling)
(Double edit: Forcefield faeling, charisma buffs are easier, alongside with intelligence...)
Unknown2010-12-13 00:09:38
You're an Aquamancer? I'd say Human or female Kephera.

edit: If you're a runist, Aslaran is actually not bad, with that balance and equilibrium bonus.

If your a psion, you really don't gain much from balance or equilibrium bonus.
Unknown2010-12-13 01:05:39
Sorry, I'm an Aquamancer TP, with no plans on changing.
Shamarah2010-12-13 01:40:54
Assuming your character is female, consider Kephera. Merian are very untanky and the int doesn't really make up for it.

And the equilibrium bonus won't help your psionic stuff.

There's no good reason to be a Merian aquamancer. :\\

- Human evolution changed
Worse? Better?

Kephera looks good, but RP wise doesn't mesh well, so it's... "do I want to be awesome, or do I want my RP to fit?"

Esano2010-12-13 04:43:30
Worse: one point from the primary stat and one point from con for each evolution.
Sakr2010-12-13 04:47:34
faeling, the rp would work. You've been very disgruntled with the politics of Celest, the drama, eventually making you hate the city a bit too much. This triggered a hidden chromosome to mutate, and warp your skin into a dark green color, the drama breaking your back and making you crouch down - looking smaller to the eye. You've also watched day after day as your webbed fingers and feet moved throughout your body to your back, eventually sprouting mottled grey wings on you (insert birthday here). For all purposes you've become a faeling, though you still identify with your group - that fierce loyalty that kept your low constitution, yet the drama made you more nimble in both mind in body as you ran out of it's way, increasing your dexterity and intelligence (somewhat).

works?

RP theory

works?

dry.gif Aeral is not disgruntled with the politics of Celest, and she likely won't be. Not looking to change the RP path I'm currently set on for her. tongue.gif
I left merian because of the total lack of tankiness. Faeling doesn't look that much better. I mean, 9 con? I'd like high con/charisma. I don't think it's possible. :|

Faeling:
CODE
  o  Have a level 3 elixir bonus.
  o  Have a level 2 faster balance regain.
  o  Have a level 1 faster herb balance.

Unless these make a MASSIVE difference.

I would prefer to stay away from kephera.

CODE
Human Caster:
     Strength    : 13     Dexterity   : 14     Constitution: 13
     Intelligence: 15     Charisma    : 13     Size        : 12

Human doesn't seem to be good for any specific class. Assuming "caster" is referring to mage/guardian.

Thoughts on Lucidian?

Reincarnation doesn't require an 'agonized-transformation' RP. You just realize that you were put in the wrong body and get the Fates to fix you up, kthnx.
Unknown2010-12-13 13:38:05
Or be an Illuminati and go, 'Oh, I just felt like I wanted to transform my whole race instead of just one part of my body'. I'm pretty sure that's how Kialkarkea explains his rampant race changing through his cameo.

Now I'm wondering if a faeling or trill Illuminati who sprouts wings would have an extra pair of wings or not. chin.gif

The elixir bonus is pretty huge.

Human benefits from 13 con and no weaknesses.
Sylphas2010-12-13 19:17:02
Merian have elemental weaknesses and 10 con. Faeling have a massive sip bonus and 9 con. Faeling win the tankiness race by a landslide. I'd rank faeling as tankier than anything with less than 12 con, unless you're being focused by a group or something else really bursty.

Nah, it was more that right now aslaran and being a cat is what I base a lot of my RP off of. I'm just considering changing for better combat.
