Hellions: Infravision?????
Of course hellions should have infravision- who ever heard of a dark knight walking into a wall because his evil overlords didn't give him the tools to see in the dark?? 45%  45%  [ 14 ]
Duh. Everybody knows that human hellions have to carry around a glowing nightlight. Like a freakin pixie, stalking the night... 55%  55%  [ 17 ]

But the hellion's deity would most definitely NOT smite the hellion for complaining that he doesn't know what enchantments are on random items he picks up.


The hellion deities are gods of Fear and Conquest. Any hellion complaining about -anything- is due a giantsized demotion to latrine duty until s/he portrays an attitude fitting of said god.

JBT ftw.

Half-elves are fine for some classes.


How about a convincing argument from the none noob gallery. Teehee.


Helves make great non-lightie bards.

Centaur and Giant scouts can't see in the dark and don't get a skill/spell to have such. So such is unnecessary


You know there's alot of items ingame that allows one to see in the dark, also it's never really all that dark for long when the moon springs out. Only two short periods of darkness. Place a Centaur scout owns a Half-elf scout every time.


Half-elves are the [REDACTED] race now, I agree. The huge number of cold iron weapons put into the game ruined half-elves, elves, sprites, and deep-elves from being competitive.

I would be more likely to pick half-elf for scout than I would centaur, however. 21 dex hasted and +damage from the growing number of warlocks in the game are significantly liabilities. I bet a half-elf does noticeably higher damage/round than a centaur does when fully buffed, simply because 4 dex makes that large of a difference in accuracy.

Q: Why play helf hellion?

A: More dex to land your cleave, more cha to land your intimidate / dominate.

I wasn't aware there was a point to having half-elf hellions in the first place.


I think that point would be called roleplay. Not everyone will sit there and pick a class and a race that goes oh so well with each other so they can go around powning everything and everyone and pking people to the dirt. omg some people probably chose combinations that would be fun to play. But I guess some people only have fun when they pkill each other and don't care about the concept of their char and the rp potential.


And no, I think infravision is would be unbalanced here's my reason, if you want to see in the dark you will need a light source if you're not innate infravision (helf's baby) and you can't hide or sneak. But you're not being able to hide and sneak counter balances your new ability to see in the dark now.

Helf hellions are sort of like delf mercs. There is no point to them. Naturally, being pointless completely disables any and all RP--right, Sherlock? You may notice if you shift through a gazillion pages of afterlife threads that I've played a delf merc. THERE IS NO POINT. Doesn't mean that it can't be fun.

Next time you want to insinuate that someone is a twink, maybe you should do it to an actual twink.

Wow, I never said you was a twink. I was just saying that maybe some people would find it fun to do things that are actually bad for pk and only do it for rp. And you're wrong. Only reason you call them pointless is cause you can't ueber pk. Well I got news for you. With my helf hellion I've pked human paladins, human hellions, centuar hellions and a number of other races, even from a pk stand point they can still stand alright. So just because they are not the best does not make them pointless. If you only ever saw a point in a class/race combo to be if they can kill or how good they can fight then you obviously are not seeing where I'm coming from. I'm saying it can be good rp, screw killing people that ain't the only thing this game is about. So there can be point in anything, you have fun playing that char, you like they way he acts and the history and the story you gave him and like to think, what would my character do in this situation. And not think, ok how am I going to kill this person.

Never called you a twink just saying you see more point in fighting and tactics then in rp. Have a guilty conscious? Besides, I seem to remember Slayne the half-elf hellion who did very well for himself.

Uhh fluff I'm not trying to start a fight with you dude. I never said anything about your pk record, that's like two times you put words in my mouth. At the risk of you taking this the wrong way I'm saying that I don't care about pk! That is my point, I obviously don't care about your pk record or anyone elses. I'm speaking of rp over pk that's all. Alright? I never said nothing about you not being able to pk or being a twink or anything. I was merely stating it's not pointless to play a class when rp is your point. You don't need to be super strong to rp. You can never get envovled in pk the entire time you play a char and have good rp and just explore the world and that might be your point and that might be why you like that char.
