New wizard assistance (race, spell changes)

Why doesn't it matter, you ask?

...because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from Mohawk because they've got all the money!

How significant is the -10 logic of half krolvins vs say + 10 of burgh gnomes?

It's a few EXP points per pulse. Unless you are really paying close attention to the numbers ticking down you probably won't even notice.

[Murrandii]

-10 = -2 exp per minute / pulse on nodes

+ 10 = + 2 exp per minute / on nodes

that's a +4, all things considered equal, difference.

For each hour, it's 240 exp. If you you play 10 hours a day, it's 2,4k difference. 6 days a week = 14,4k, a month = 61k, a year = 743k.

If you play less, then, your impact is lessen.

If you aren't racing to cap bro, the effect is almost close to 0.

@Avaia: I agree on stats that some people put too much weight on em. This game, however, is a mechanical game for many purposes and the more numbers you have, normally, the "easier" it gets.

PICK THE RACE YOU WANT TO PLAY! By that I mean, pick the race you envision your character being, like so many have said, anything works. I have a half-elf bolting wizard that is very near cap and a UAC elf wizard in his 60's, I cannot tell the difference between the two as far as how dangerous each is relative to their levels and learning ability. As a side note, I always set my stats to cap at 19 and forget about them, so worrying about stats is silly. This is not a mechanical game it is an RP game with mechanics. If that is how some choose to play, and focus on only the mechanics, that's cool but they miss out on a lot.

Basically. If you focus too much on the mechanics of the game, this shit is not fun, imo.

[Alashir]

Awesome. Appreciate all the input

[Methais]

Nah.

In 2 years you will realize that while you may bolt in the 460s and JoeminmaxerXXxX bolts in the 480s (completely made-up numbers)you still kill things with remarkable swiftness and the game is easy and it just doesn't matter.

This is correct.

Other than rolling someone up and training in literally nothing, I wonder if it's possible make a build so gimped that it's impossible for them to level.

I'm too lazy for this experiment, but we need someone who is less lazy to do this.

He was not a wizard but for giggles I created a burghai gnome sorc that swings a naginata and even that build worked, and if that can work, I think most anything can work.
