Talon I think you should relax a bit and let players decide what is fun for them and stop all that crap there. I f I think 20ac is more fun for me than gs then that's all. And if gs is better for you then its all good too. Don't say it doesnt take skills in 20ac. Make a char work on it and come duel me, we shall see if it take skills or not..
Did you actually read my initial post in this thread, or just trying to stir trouble?

Yes I agree Akuma.

So anyway, tell me when your ready Talon.
Ah - I see it was the "stir trouble" option, as youve managed to refer to me twice for no apparent reason whatsoever.
Just proves the mentality of these 20ac children if you ask me......

To quote a famous pundit:

"Have I gone insane or have I just gone sane in an insane world?"
- The Tick

OK, back to the topic of this post. "What is the point?"

So, what is the point of this thread?

I think the point is that the "12 AC - 20 AC" forum isn't going to get any constructive strategy discussions or informational threads. The reason for this could be that there isn't any strategy to discuss about 12 - 20 AC builds or duels.

Firstly, in my world I am a god.

Geez man, at 12ac, the biggest amount of skill you guys 'have', is to have a few bard levels and curse song and taunt.
Then if someone uses remove curse, then you bitch about it.

I mean COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How STUPID can you be????

Thats 12ac for you, you can ONLY get your ab high enough to hit someone by using curse song, and taunt. Then you bitch when someones conc is high, or if they use remove curse/restorations/etc.

20 ac doesnt even have that 'luxury' of reducing someones ac to be anywhere near hittable. So black mamba - and yes this is targetted directly at you - you are just a skilless 20 roller. Please feel free to provide your 20ac chars ab/ac ratio so we can ALL have a good chuckle. Or are you of the opinion that more ab makes you more likely to roll a 20, as another famous member of this forum pointed out only a few months ago.....

And AS for your choice of resist, how come when I made a DD I got bitched at for being cheap. Surely you dont see anything wrong with me reducing the damage i would recieve - you are a bunch of resisters after all......

However (Re: 5ab/ac):
Quote
hell yah back to old school nwn!
The ruleset we use at godspire is used to enforce that balance that we had at level 20. So we havent really left oldschool nwn, just extended it into level 40.
Although im not a resist fan, having played it for many months when we werent quite sure what we were doing (early days of nwn), I understand that many of you will refuse to progress with the game. So my suggestion to you, is to try the godspire ruleset but (god forbid) allow resist!!! Shock horror!!!
Actually - in all seriousness, thats exactly what you should be doing. I mean, you guys have crazy ass ILR. Level 40 items are ludicrous. At least you would have some of that "sacrifice aspect" you had at level 20.

Not to mention that 12ac-20ac is skilless :D

I have a  20AC AA for when I do local vault RPing.

88 AB, 115 AC = if I were to fight myself it'd be 20s.

Have no fear everyone.  I will explain this 12-20ac craze and why some like it.

Simple reason...They do not pocess the necessary brain power to  contemplate how to build a 9ac no resist char.

Before all you resist kiddies whine that I am calling you stupid, I am not.
It is my opinion that you are all probably between the ages of 8-16 years old and your heads haven't matured yet to our stage.  Nothing to be ashamed about, I mean we were all that age once...

When you all grow up into good educations and can do basic math such as subtract ABs from ACs, then I will look forward to seeing you all on Godspire.

Have a nice day  :D

Oh come on Talon:P

It's so fun argueing with ya hehe
But ya you kinda bitch at ppl hehe
But I knew it would be a matter of minutes until u reply hehe

Let's just say that both of them 9ac and 20ac is good because it suits different ppl. It's the best AC if it suits you so thats y i say 20ac is best and u say 9ac is best.
But plz don't say it doesnt take skills. Yes it doesnt take less skills then 9ac indeed but it still takes skills to make a good char. Don't you agree on this one?:P

Heheh what do you mean its' lame?

Ok for the purpose of my study, please inform me as to your age group.
Try and be honest also...

Imagine I am part of some super advanced race who has found an interest in lesser lifeforms and is conducting studies on them.

It seems that two different points are being argued here.

The first is: Does building, equiping and playing 9AC duelers take more skill than 12-20AC?

One side argues that higher than 9AC doesn't take any skill because of the AB/AC ratio. Many formulas, mathmatical equations and hypothetical circumstances have been described to prove this point.

The other side thinks 9AC, 12AC and 20AC all take skill to play. They have yet to provide any solid evidence.


The second point that is trying to be made, is that the 9AC supporters think the 12-20AC people actually lack intelligence. This is probably caused by the 12-20AC supporters lack of evidence in the first argument.

The 9AC people have provided analysis of item costs, restricted properties and spells, AB/AC comparisons for different builds and a lot of other actual effort to support their point. (unfortunatly much of this data was lost after the site went down)

If some people like 12-20AC that's fine but if they are going to argue that it takes skill they will have to provide some sort of solid mathmatical proof.

- 420

EDIT: OH and I still don't see any other threads in the 12-20AC forum that are actually discussing builds, strategy or anything constructive regarding 12-20AC. There is a reason for this I suspect.
