Pale Master. . .

I had a player named "Amendaus" asking if the Pale Master still got hurt if using the healing potons, will you be adding those death potions back to game?

Yes, death potions will be back. In the meantime, use the inflict wounds and harm spells to heal.

Thank you.

I don't plan to make it easy on pale masters. They are an evil class with plenty of bonuses in their own right. They don't need a lot of niceties from civilization.

Not a problem for me cause I don't make them, was just asking for another player was all.

I was just trying to point out that KT will always favor good characters more than evil ones. I have no problem with people who like evil characters and classes, but society will work against them just like it works against evil people in real life (well, generally it does). If someone goes evil, they gain the advantage of removing restraints on what they do. Good players are prevented from using all the same tactics.

I believe in a spiritual battle between good and evil, and KT is a reflection of my beliefs. However, I don't see good and evil as balanced forces. I believe good will win out in the end even if evil is temporarily ascendant. I'm also governed by a morale code that prevents me from glorifying evil.

So, I allow pale masters but I don't plan to make them more powerful than they already are.

Has anyone tried to play a pale master lately? Are they playable, or have I made it too difficult for them?

Just wondering but if KT always favours good, then why are Blackguards so powerful? Blackguards are a lot more evil than Palemasters yet the Blackguards get a really nice summon and are a fairly good class all around and Palemasters who cant hit anything in combat because of having a mage's attack path and can't cast spells worth beans getting penalized? The only real bonus to playing Palemaster is the extra AC and being immune to criticals, other than that the class is pretty much useless. A Palemaster requires any non-good which means that the Palemaster can be neutral and not evil. Blackguards and Assassins are any evil yet Blackguards get bonuses that can make them better than any good aligned character and Assassins are a fairly nice class to add to a rogue shadowdancer and only get the small penalty of being evil. Is there something I'm just not getting? However Palemasters are playable once you stock up on death potions with other characters and get the undead set but they still cant hit anything in combat.
