I was expecting this to be part of the thread. MOAR popcorn please




Dang! Why didn't someone tell me making spells was this easy? Why did we devs spend weeks making sure Earthquake worked right, for both players and monsters? Should have just copied the text and BAM, done!


You mean that's not how it's done?


Erm. Yes? This is at least somewhat based on tabletop. Giving a dozen spells (or invocations) is generous based on the source material, especially with up to ~12'ish more from Pacts and Tainted Scholar.

(Not that all Warlocks are into books, really.)
I really have to applaud you all for tackling the alignment issue with warlock. When I 1st heard the rumors, that was the 1st thing that popped into my mind.
In PnP I've seen some DM's ignore/tweak this facet with some terrible results, and a lot of bickering.


The translation for PnP to DDO is a huge undertaking. I have a feeling the players will be split on how it's received and opined.

question, will any of this development affect other alignment factors currently in-place throughout the game?

And additionally, will you develop some alignment based items that are class restricted?
