Classes not on server?

[Maevan2]

I think it is good there are certain rules and that access to certain classes/races are restricted in some way There are already enough lightballs running around and i really don't want to bump into a Genasi at every second corner. But i'd like to see the Neverwinter Night Nine as playable class, perhaps after some IC event if people really consider to be somethign special.

I think he's talking about the currently closed classes, I think it was Favoured and Warlock.

[Feydakin]

Players should just be allowed to take any class they like, exept for typical PG combinations we all know.

Wish i could play my Bard/FS.. but, had to settle for Bard/Cleric, though that wasnt in the character's background at all.

Players are allowed to take any class they want. Some classes require an application, but they are still available (as you will see on the statistics page)

[rustediron]

I agree with Kald, Darky and Mae, but I think ticla is taking a bit too far.
Too many favoured souls would just be... odd.
However, I do think Saulus should allow drow on the server (moderated), though maybe that's being saved for later when they've made the underdark/underdark entrance area.

My thoughts on this issue exactly.

You are not alone

I have to wonder why Neverwinter Nine is restricted aside from the obvious name implications. Can't the name just be ignored (like everyone ignored Champion of "Torm" in NWN 1) and used in some other fashion? I always looked at most classes as being more than their name. I never think of a character as a rogue/fighter but maybe they're a ninja or a thief or a mercenary or whatever. A name isn't everything.

What if it was called "Knight of Nobility" or something? Then that would open up the class to anyone who was knighted by local Sundren nobility here, and it fits the theme of the class well too.

Of course that might not work if there is no feudal system in place and if the DMs still don't want to bother with it. But even still, I'm sure there's some other way the class could be used, since it is an interesting class.

Harpers are one of the most secretive organisations in Faerun, my advice is to not let on that your char is one- the info will get metagamed, despite folks good intentions at keeping things IC.
A Banite would kill a suspected Harper without question, as would a member of the Cult of the Dragon and possibly the Red Wizards. Divulging your a Harper to a non-Harper is tantamount to placing a death warrant on your head, and in the right (or wrong maybe) circumstances could actually mark you as a traitor to the organisation- something the Harpers themselves deal with one way only, death.

Honktraphonic, dont assume your char is the first Harper in Sundren and their only contact here. A Harper does not need to be a Harper Agent class to be part of the organisation.

I do indeed know these things. and as far as anyone knows i'm just a bard. To my knowledge i have yet to even hint to anyone that my character is a HArper. I have a great love for the Harpers and am familiar with their style of operation.

And yes i am well aware of the heavy presence of Baneites and the Red Wizards... all the more reason for the HArpers to be interested

Takhla has met two, on run by a DM the other by a player. Of course thats only if they were telling the truth

Already have a HArper on the server, thanks.

Not sure if I was the first, but I know I am one of them if not. When I saw a PW that was original but actually a part of Faerun I almost peed myself at the chance to play a Harper. Valraein was actually raised by the Harpers after they were forced to kill his evil father (long story, rp to learn the real truth). He was sent to sunderen to find out how much good the HArpers could do there, send back reports and try to get a foothold for the organization.

So if anyone else is or plans to become a HArper you should totally get with me and we can get something really cool started.

Isn't Dungeons & Dragons about using your imagination, and not being limited by just what you see?

Also, the Neverwinter Nine [the actual group, not the class] being nine of the most powerful individuals in Faerun? Not likely. They're really just bodyguards, generals, advisors and special forces to Nasher. There are many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many more powerful people out there.

Yes, many, many powerful... like the Zentharim and Seven Sisters (I think tey were called that).

[R3VOLV360]

Neverwinter is a very powerful city...it is certainly the largest (right? or are there ones in other Planes/Underdark that are larger?)

From my oodles of Forgotten Realm's knowledge (the NWN2 Loading screen ) it is "dwarfed by the city of splendours, Waterdeep". But is probably one of the largest.

They're really just bodyguards, generals, advisors and special forces to Nasher.

So you could RP something like Nasher has sent you to investigate Sundren on account of hostile action from the area or lack of trade or some such.
