Would like Elves to be High Elves and look like they do in the movies LOTR. As far as 2 Wis and Dex, would also make a good Druid. Since dex should also augument armor class?

This game looks Amazing! The things I have been reading about it put it as the best game in 10 years! This is being hailed as the RPG to end all other RPG's AD

Hi all. It is great to have news about foundry. As a NWN1 and NWN2 game player I have to say that I have spent much more hours at aurora than what I did inside the game. Actually I am still running my own personnal persistent NWN1 module (spanish one) since 2004... and it is very surprising I still have some players coming in. Anyway, you are correctly guessing that my question is regarding around scripting capabilities... I wouldn't have spent so many hours without the scripting posibilities, the hardcore rules, the fugue plane, the private job trades, database access to mysql web, complicated and intrincated puzzle entrances to newer instances... so many things that are far beyond just droping tiles, sounds and monsters...

All I have to say is 'yuck'. This interpretation of 4th-edition Elven Accuracy is really lame compared to the impact this racial ability should have. Before, it was an encounter power that allowed a reroll of a missed ability. Now in Neverwinter, that's going to be a measly 5% damage boost on the rare times a natural twenty is rolled. That's... actually -quite- pathetic an interpretation. Also, "Elves" in 4th edition stand in for "Wood Elves" in more traditional versions of D

First, it is unlikely that the MMO uses a simple d20 mechanic for accuracy. Most likely the game has a complicated mechanic for to damage, crit chance, and crit damage boost like most other online games. Secondly, the mechanic is similar to other MMOs, such as the buff from an operative in SWTOR.

the game does not follow turn based mechanics.

Yeah, I would have thought that elves would be more inclined towards arcane magic, according to what gamers are used to. But, knowledge as in .. wisdom .. old knowledge, and dexterity, health and exercise are excellent traits for an old, agile race.

WIS shows natural inclination of elves towards natural/primal powers. I suspect eladrin will have INT to show their inclination towards arcane.

I was expecting a bit more info and traits, considering that 50% of the races in this game have elven blood and the game lacks some of the most iconic D

In the 4th edition elves are not inclined towards magic, this is the "eladrins" the mages of the game (eladrin = elves of the elementary plan). In 4th edition, elves are oriented in divine magic or good archer, but not profane anymore.

Cool... Would have preferred an int bonus but additional wis never hurts especially with saving throws. Dex now, no brainer. Love it, being a rogue and all...

Sounds like it would fit well to either scout types or magical, i liek it.
discorddiscord @ Sep 25th, 2012 2:43PM
Shouldnt they be inclined towards magic as well though. Elves were always wizards in the olden days.

You should see the elves in 4th edition more like the wood elves where the eladrin as already menioned are the high elves or sun elves depending on the setting. So elves are more inclined to melee classes like the ranger and rogue (dex) or primal classes like the druid and shaman (wis) and the eladrin are the ones inclined to the arcane arts.

sounds like a good start to an archer/ranger
