More stat points and racial points.

Quote:
Starting at 7pm Eastern (-4 GMT) on Monday, June 3rd we will be opening Lamannia for an exclusive invitation-only preview of the next race (and Iconic Hero) coming to Dungeons & Dragons Online with the "Magic of Myth Drannor" expansion!

Invitations have already been sent for this preview, but if you missed getting our invitation and want in for future previews, get in touch with me. Content creators - feel free to use this thread to let people know about your plans if you'd like! This preview is for members of the games industry press along with livestreamers, bloggers/vloggers, and other content creators who reach an audience relevant to the game. I also include some Wiki editors and such to help them out w/their work. These previews serve as a promotional tool for us and as a way to support our content creation community and their audience.

This preview will open to the general public on Tuesday at 11:00 AM Eastern and will continue until 5:00 PM Eastern on Thursday, June 6th. We'll have more information including things like Lamannia release notes on Tuesday.


The part I put in bold makes me laugh  Grin

Let me take a wild guess ...  The racial past stat bonus will be ANYTHING but strength.

I wonder if since we just got a sorc archtype we'll also get a sorc iconic?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Jesus Christ. The models were in the game already!!

It didn't take a genius to figure out SSG was going to take the shortest and laziest route possible to a "new" race. EG7 has put SSG under so much pressure to crank out stuff that shortcuts like this were inevitable.

I don't think its pressure from EG7 so much as SSG just sucking in general. They've all got a terrible case of senioritus.

Yeah, I don't think we need to bring in EG7 to make SSG suck.  They do just fine on their own.

Chaosmancer could actually be halfway decent if the stripper SLAs either applied to both elements for the season or came in a two SLA variant. Winter would be fun as hell to finally strip undead of immunity if you're playing some sort of PM/DA/DD/AbyssLock/Magus.

They sure do, but that doesn't mean EG7 can't also make their suckiness worse.

Lets all agree its a suckyness parade and no one is using any more than one quarter of an ass.
