Evil race for ranger

[kieros]

Would it be possible to create an evil race for rangers, maybe evil beasts or something different to add more variety for rangers. I think its a great starting class for players and they can really get into the dynamics of the game with more selection which hopefully would increase skill and willingness to try something different

[Ergorion]

I can't remember which thread this happened on, but it was another new race thread where someone listed all the different stat combos that don't exist right now. Dav said something like new stuff starts with the mathematics. So if you're able to find that thread, pick one of the unused stat combos, think of a race name, what legacies if any they have, what automasters they have, resists, and vulns, then I would come back and post again.

Is this the format that would be looked for?

Wis:16
Dex:20
Con:22

Chaotic Only.
Neutral or Evil Only.

Available Classes: Warrior, Ranger, Thief, Berserker

Strengths: Immune to Poisons. Permanent Pathfinding (or +10% move regen).
Weaknesses: +10% to all purchases. Only alcoholic beverages can quench their thirst.

I am sure they will be flamed or whatever but since no one else was suggesting anything. Constructive criticism always welcome.

[Erlwith]

For a ranger I'd rather have the extra 4 points of wisdom than 2 extra con.

Pathfinding is already "permanent."

[Stiehl26]

What I was thinking with the pathfinding was that the race as a whole gets pathfinding or move regen based on their strong legs and/or ability to easily run in the forest (rangers would get it at 100% or whatever). I also thought that satyrs in general aren't wise per se, they tend to drink a lot in mythology and their higher consititution would be reflected in their drinking and their outdoor living.

Goblin
-Str: 19
-int: 17
-wis: 18

-con: 20

Chaotic or Neutral Only.
Evil Only.

Available Classes: Warrior, Thief, Ranger, Shaman, and Necromancer.

Resistances: Resistant to Negative energy

Maybe throw in berserkers so we can have....RAGING GOBLINS! With Haste! Lol That are also counted as one/one's and are red.

i vote drow rangers. could be worth a shot and could give someone an opportunity to try it and if it's too powerful/weak then remove them but i've never really understood why drows couldn't be a ranger.

[Stiehl26]

Dav doesn't like the idea of a drow ranger because of Forgotten Realms and Drizz't. I posted a while ago on the whole "other race for evil rangers than human" and got flamed out of the water.

[Olyn]

you're aiming way too high with those stat suggestions.

[Stiehl26]

I thought someone had said they needed to add up to 99 or 100. What is a more typical total?

[Olyn]

personally, I think goblin thieves might be neat but here's a kobold suggestion. Satyr or centaur rangers have some potential imo.

Kobold

-Str: 17
-int: 18
-wis: 18
-dex: 24
-con: 19

lawful
evil

hometowns: Timaran or Darkhaven i.e. no kobold justices

Available Classes: Thief

resist: cold
Vulns: pierce

extra skills
tricky traps - extra damage or chance to knock out on trip wire
ferocious claws - hand to hand counts as exotic instead of unarmed. Allow uncanny with claws (maybe even for extra damage)when hobbled.


Size: Small

[Ergorion]

Damn Olyn. Kobolds are dumb as rocks. I don't think that stat combo would be good for a rogue-only race on the grounds that: a) training steal/pry would be a bitch

b) hobble annuls the cool awesome dodge that they get

c) kobold is looking basically like a stupid halfling with one less con point and fewer class options

[Mr. Forgotten]

halfling stats- STR: 17, INT: 17, WIS: 20, DEX: 25, CON: 20

vs

kobold stats- -STR: 17, INT: 18, WIS: 18, DEX: 24, CON: 19


looks like kobolds are just as strong and smarter, whereas halflings
are wiser, more dextrous and healthier.
