Stability and Crafting

[Music_Man]

I'm very curious what ever happened to that nifty little effect called Stability? It seems after Invaders! came out with the ring of balance, that Stability hasn't even been thought of again. It is a very neat effect, and a nice cherry on top for those True Neutral characters who don't wear higher bonuses to AC and resistance.

And now with the opportunity to craft items, I would have imagined it would have re-emerged -- it is, afterall, a perfect opportunity to reintroduce this neglected effect.

To be completely honest, I was rather dumbfounded with the fact Existential Stalemate does not include Stability. It seems counter-intuitive to me. In essence, Stablity is this same type of balance and stalemate between opposing negative and positive forces -- they are thematically the same... or so it is to my interpretation at least.

I really want to know, if Stability (and hopefully even Greater Stability) are ever going to be worked with again, especially in light of the crafting system -- or if it is the intent of the developers to allow this effect to go the way of the dodo and uncermoniously fade away.

Stability is only available through crafted greataxes, rapiers, battleaxes, dwarven axes etc.

There is a Greater Stability Robe I believe that is an end reward for the Abbot

I too thought that the third tier of stalemate would have Greater Stability on it...meh

Hey bro, bring Thaelor along on the Abbot runs we are doing. I'll get you and Nessa ready no problem.

Not the same, but a solution of sorts

Balance of Land and Sky is 'Improved Stability' instead of greater...+3 instead of +2 or 4. It's even so balanced, it doesn't require True Neutral to equip!

Balance of Land and Sky gives what is essentially Improved Stability (+3 Deflection, +3 Resistance) and you don't even need to be TN to use it.

Poo! oronisi beat me to it.

Has anyone with a T.Neutral charactar actually confirmed that it is not an "unwritten" effect of Concordant Opp yet?

I have wondered about the lack of stability increases as well as my main two characters are both T.Neutral.

Does Balance of Land and Sky stack with all other resistance and armor bonuses?

[TreknaQudane]

No

Stability is not of use to characters of higher than about level 9. The bonuses don't stack, and are less than the Protection or Resistance they'd have from other sources.

antithesis.


a robe I pulled out of one of the orchard quests is greater stability plus ice and light gaurd I think.

was useless to my true nuetral fighter with his +5 full plate of stabiity so its on AH in ghalla if you want it (anyone?.....crickets..crickets)

Correct on the robe, wrong on the guards. Lesser fire and ice guards.

Stability would be nice IF it stacked

a rewording of the effect and it's reintroduction would be stellar IMO, otherwise beyond greater stability it's not too useful
there is only the one greater stability item too and that's a robe.... the AC bonus is therefore relevant to only a few certain builds so it's basically a lesser fire and ice guard robe the serves as a resistance 4 item

nothing ground breaking and easily replacable with a robe or outfit with better abilities
