As a Paladin, I have been noticing some serious flaws in the character. For one thing, though it goes along with the roleplaying correctly, virtually all of a Paladin's abilities that are worth using are directed against darkness only. Not to mention that they consume colossal amounts of energy... If it comes to a battle of magic in any way, where an opponent isn't within reach, well, things can easily get nasty. Not many things to roleplay with, either. Does anyone here have any ideas of abilities for Paladins?

Hmm they could make Aura's. Like setting a mood for the battle. An example is like

Heal - heals each team member ___ hp per turn

or

Death - lowers the enemy's hp ___ per turn

or

something like those

Actually, if you want, I can think up a revised ability system for these two.

You have to remember though, we are the warriors of our group. If you want to add mroe Worship stuff, use the Priest Secondary Class I suggested. And yell at Cspace to put it up there.

Stop your moaning. People from all classes are saying that their classes stink, like mine. We have NO good abilities. Neways, it is because all of the classes are generally new and still need work. So sit back, and in time they'll get better.

It's because light chars don't really fight against light chars. That'd be stupid. All my skills as a Shadow Hunter are based mostly for DP against light. Or summons. Cause I get to to summon a zombie horse. Nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh.

If you want to fight a ranged opponent, simply attack them. I'm pretty sure the only reason you wouldn't be able to attack is if there's a structure. It's pretty obvious that it was like that in reality way back when.

I think Paladins and Shadow Hunters should have attack spells light double slash or charge shot. Also, they should be able to use things like crossbows or any heavy ranged weapon as a secondary weapon. But please don't revamp the system. I hate having to redo all my stats.

First of all, we need a better armor system. So far, no one has any armor. They're all fighting naked. eek7.gif

Set up and armor class system. Ranged weapon-type classes can wear light armor such as leather and chain or ringmail. Warrior-type classes can wear platemail and (back)sheilds. And magicbased classes can wear robes and summoned armor.
HI! I'M BACK SPORADICALLY! Nobody probably remembers me :(

I have armor grnwink.gif Some other people do too, so we aren't all fighting naked. Well, maybe you are, but...
