Re: Remove Halflings

I had forgotten about that golf thing. Please add the unrandart "Golf Club", which, when it kills an enemy, uses the head of the enemy as a projectile thrown in the same direction as the hit that killed it.

BTW, is a circle of people who regularly meet to play golf also a golf club?

Pretty sure it's a country club?

Re: Remove Halflings

Halflings were a relatively uninteresting species in terms of gameplay, feeling somewhat like Kobold but with weapon specialization like Merfolk.Their theme originates from Tolkien, a source of lore that crawl is trying to borrow less from these days. Their gorgeous hairy feet not withstanding, this particular Tolkien reference wasn't particularly interesting.

There is no fucking way their delicious hair covered toes are less interesting than HE's wonderful golden locks.

They don't have anything except a boring innate mutation and a very big apt on a useless weapon that's about to get removed if the 0.20 ranged "reform" a.k.a removal is to be taken seriously. It's just a Kobold with a better LB/Axe apt in exchange for having unintuitive apt tweaks on the upper half of the spell skill tree.

Re: Remove Halflings

Halflings' "thing" is being a small race with good defensive apts, which combined with the EV bonus they get from being small makes them pretty tanky.

It's not very interesting though. If the game desperately needs a small, tanky race, it would probably better to have one with some kind of unique racial gimmick/feature that aids their durability instead of just "good numbers".

Re: Remove Halflings

Halflings actually are fun, as opposed to high elves which are just worse humans
I'm with tasonir on this one.

Merge mahkleb and qazlal. Qaz blasts are better and more interesting and the cost of the mahk healing can be the noise and that its hard to rest. Course qaz is actually pretty strong already if you use disaster area right, but it also takes really high invo skill so.....
