I'm gonna set this up as a place to post bitching about races (kinda obvious). This isn't the place to post ideas to make one race better. This is the place to bitch and whine about a race. what you think sould happen to one race or another. To be honest, i don't know how long this post will last cause of the name (the only other name i could think of was "some chesse with your whine" or race whiner)
Here, i'll start. 2 of the most over powered races in my opinion are the vampires and the dwarves. The dwarves cause they have no real vuln. (i know this has been brought up over and over). The vampire because they have the best HP,MP, MV of any race (at least point wise). The shape skill has only one counter and it's a quest item. A vampire can sit anywhere and if you don't have this one item, you don't know if they are there or not. that gives the vamp a retarded advantage over everyone else. I think there should be a spell that lets you see trough the shape skill. I don't think this should be a remort skill for the simple fact that a first class vamp can shape and why would it take a remort to see a first class mort?
Well, there, i started it. i'm kinda wondering how big this can of worms is gonna get.
Thanks

Shape does not help once the battle begins. So Shape as a pk skill is stretching it in my opinion. And without true sight, there are ways to "know" if a vampire is about. With true sight you only see thru shape or shift(so this includes Slayers) if you are in the same room with them so where doesnt help anyways. And Vamps vulns to fire and holy, the most common and the highest natural damage vulns out there. Plus taking damage from just being there just under 1/2 the time (sunlight 6am-5pm) is a big drain on the hp/mana/move.
Being shaped in and of itself has never gotten me a pk, only the not paying attention of the victim.
As far as dwarves being overpowered? Well they dont have any usable(at this time) vulns this is true but they surely dont have any racial superpowers that are "great", they have nice ones and are good to play but really dont have anything special other than the repair skill (saves gold). Berserk is nice but not "awesome" So I would disagree to them being one of the 2 best pk races.
IMHO if I had to pick 2 races as the top pk races I would probably say drow with their extra defense and Titans with their extra attack and their ability to wield the bigger damage 2handed weapons one handed. But both are beatable. Then of course Sith who at the moment (though i realiize it is being worked on) have the undefeatable skill that ends combat for a slit possibility. Not saying sith are undefeatable just that one skill that if it lands (die roll) and it always seems to on me (again damn unlucky die roll it seems) it is done. And any skill or equipment or spell that the defender has can not stop it.

Id definately have to say titan and dragon are the best. They can do far more damage than any other race and have very little weapon counters, if any. Now as for sneaking up on people they are hampered of course, leaving only vampires and slayers. Just my two cents, but id rather fight a vampire or drow any day. As red said, they have easy to access vulnerabilities. Nerfing vampires and slayers shift is nonsense, I for one keep a close eye on
whose around me, If you dont then you deserve whats coming.
