Summoner Class
I disagree. I think Chanter should stay the Summoner class. Not that it should be the only class that gets summons, but that it has the most of them. I think mechanically it works with chanting taking a long time to build up and summons generally being pretty powerful. And makes Chanters something besides a ****ty Sorcerer with 2/3rds the spells and some skills as the Pathfinder/D&D 3.X Bard was. I get your complaint about not liking summons while liking Bards, but in PoE I think there's enough decent Invocations to have a Chanter who doesn't summon. I don't understand the people requesting a dedicated Summoner class, do you guys just want the super pet or another half caster?

Summoner Class
No, the Pathfinder class is too specialized and while another class may be cool we've already got 11 that cover a lot of bases before multiclassing and subclasses are factored in. A Chanter subclass that gives better summons or can summon with less phrases would be cool though.

List of Subclasses as we learn about them.
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Ganrich's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'm thinking it could be something like Magran and (whatever that god worshipped by the lord who comes back in Act 3 is named) could have the same subclass. I hope you're right tbh, but I remember something along those lines.

List of Subclasses as we learn about them.
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Ganrich's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I believe that Priests and Paladins are subclasses based on order or god. Perhaps I'm not remebering it correctly though. I'm curious if the subclasses will be designed to be opposites, like the other Rogue is more durable but less damaging or the Fighter has better base accuracy and damage but less benefit from effective weaponry. Not really hoping for it across the board, but in the case of the Rogue I can see that being a good thing. Just please no Beastmaster or Invoker.

Changing your character at level 1
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Karkarov's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Appearance, Class, and Portrait should be definite. Two are cosmetic but fairly light changes and with the changes in mechanics I'd hate to be stuck in a class I don't like because it was my PoE class. (Sub)Race and Background wouldn't make narrative sense since they are changing the mechanics then you might as well allow it. Name and Sex are cosmetic but at this point you may as well make a new character.

Well you could address the point, I wasn't the only kid in those classes after all, and even the ones who did the work still run into the same issues of not knowing how recognise subject-verb agreement or figure out equations in college math classes. When I went to college I saw this firsthand and I really doubt all of my fellow students spent high school snorting crushed up vicodin. But if you want to focus on little old me, I started doing drugs heavy in my junior year and until that point all I had were **** teachers. I suppose it's possible that my senior teachers were good and my fellow students were full of **** when they said they weren't but what do I know? I knew how to read before KG and impressed the teacher with my reading level. You seem to have some alternative facts about my education mate.

No, I had access to books and my dad did a lot of carpentry that helped me pick up geometry. The point isn't my individual expereince, but rather that public schools are not teaching kids anything they wouldn't get from a textbook and this shows when they get to college an are incapable of writing an essay. Public school education is more about memorization than learning if you will.

Yes. If all classes are going to be is a holding pen for an hour at a time It shouldn't be a surprise that students don't bother trying or learning. I learned reading and math from home, not school. I get you.

To get this back on topic... As someone who went to public school in Texas, I have to agree with this. In my senior year I took a class called College Algebra that doubled as a credit for College, Math 1308 or 1314 I think. Anyways most of the class consisted of getting worksheets with simplistic problems and childlike puzzles like "what did the farmer say to the pig". I think I got a C in the class, because I would never did the classwork or homework and would only wake up t take a quiz or a test, which I would make an 85 as my lowest score. And that class wasn't unique in its simplicity. Admittedly I didn't do very well in high school, did way too many drugs and rarely did homework or classwork. Almost failed in English because I didn't do a paper and a project. Always did very well on tests and my SAT score was impressive, or at least some advisors I talked to said as much, but not doing half the work tends to negatively impact your score. I blame boredom more than anything, all of my teachers were ****, I got less out of classes listening to them than I did skimming wikipedia articles or reading the textbook, classes consisted of reviewing information to take tests or dumb worksheets, and there was no challenge or learning involved. I don't have any concrete solutions to fire off the hip and blanket statements like "we need to encourage imagination" are meaningless tripe that don't add anything to the discussion. But there is a major problem with the US public education system and judging by what 'tep has said it's only gotten worse. I'm gonna go back to work now, have fun.

Capitalism isn't a utopia(and if your idea of utopia involves working for someone else 40 hours a week you are a probably a masochist) and it is the global economic system of today, just because some idiot says it's not real capitalism because muh corporations doesn't change that. Now please follow the link below and actually read Marx because it's clear you've read a wiki article at best. https://www.marxists.org

60% is good enough. You guys need to focus on the alternative facts instead of the negative ones.

Ammo for ranged weapons
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to ArnoldRimmer's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Limited types of special ammo like sleep effects or slowing is what I want. And enchantment level tied to the ranged weapon is the way to go so we aren't hoarding +5 arrows and ****.

Obsidian! I looked through 19 pages of suggestions so you don't have to.
Those are all really good, but I think we should have underwater battles with Krakens, those shark things I read about in an in-game book, and some half squid monsters I read about from the same book. Or at least a shipside battle. Tentacles really creep me out and I would like the chance to kill fictional creatures that have them. On top of that I'd like a new class, not sure what but if you're gonna revamp the class system may as well go big. And reclassing as part of the import, of we're getting knocked down to lvl1 we may as well get a new class if we don't like the changes to our old one. And maybe changes to the armor system where it's either plate or nude. To be honest I haven't touched PoE after my first playthrough and you may have already fixed this. And I'd like PoE to be the trilogy BG wasn't, namely in that you don't pull out something like ToB. You should also build a wall around these forums and make RPGCodex pay for it.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to TheisEjsing's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Underwater battles with Aboleth knockoffs and Krakens. Ammo with special effects. New Class. Multiclassing where we aren't stuck with just one kit/subclass. More factions. Eastern, Middle-Eastern, and African weaponry.
