A gaming website leaked a bunch of info today on the expansion pack. One of the things included is a game mode called Savage Species that will allow PVP gameplay with playable monster races!
Apparently the game will be taking a page from LOTRO and adding factions to DDO. In DDO's case it will be the nation of Droam vs Stormreach. Monsters vs the Five Nations.
The first of the Droam races available for preview is the fan favorite Troll.
The troll has several interesting abilities and stats, along with several weaknesses to balance it out. Its favored class of course is Barbarian.
One of its biggest perks is the +4 to Strength at creation. This can be increased to a staggering +12 over other races by level 20. To balance this trolls have -4 Int, -4 Cha, and -2 Wis and are limited as to what they can wield and wear.
Trolls only have slots for Trinkets, Necklaces, Belts, and Bracers. Trolls have no armor slot. Instead your natural armor goes up as you level.
Trolls are also restricted to Longbows, Clubs, Greatclubs, Warhammers, Mauls, and Staves.
All troll players have a vulnerability to fire and acid and take double damage from those sources. You will be unable to regen damage from these attacks unless you drink a cure pot or receive another form of magical healing. Rumor has it you can take enhancements to counteract this weakness in later levels.
Special Abilities:
Trolls get greater regeneration at level 1. The regeneration ability can be improved further in enhancements.
Profane Curse. Trolls get a special incite move similar to a paladins Divine Righteousness.

Additionally your rants have deteriorated to insane ramblings causing any enemy you intimidate to suffer the effects of Phantasmal Killer.

Have a fun April Fool's Day everyone. :)
And remember take everything you see online with a heaping dose of salt today lol.
Edit: Really going to miss the Roderick's wand working in public on Monday. :D
The summons are also extremely hard to get to stand still for photos and a pain to edit in MSpaint lol.
