Thank you. I am really impressed with what you've done here
in the four hour combat beta I watched. Love to be a part of this once
I can. I appreciate you taking the time to give a response and look
forward to participating when I can.
Realms Beyond will initially offer two different point systems for attributes:Regarding the rolling method: will this be a straight (simulation of ) 3d6 rolled 6 times or will there be some kind of 'weighting' system (e.g. simulating rolling 4d6 and then eliminating the lowest die result)?Our approach is very much inspired by ToEE obviously
- Roll the dice and freely assign the results
- Point Buy with increasing costs the higher the attribute
First, we had best 3d6 of 4d6, but because you can assign every roll to one attribute, we removed that benefit again - the results were just too good compared with point buy.
There will be a combat beta this summer and we currently plan to focus on this version.
Are we still on target for this summer? As in, prior to September 24th?
We're trying to finish the version as soon as possible but since we decided to add the almost final version of the character creation process, it takes longer than orginally planned.

I'm guessing it's either a closed beta or public but under NDA. In any case that's news to me, it's good that the game is progressing into beta. Thanks for the info.
Errrm, what? Who mentioned NDA?
The closed beta aka Combat beta for KS backers will definitely not require an NDA.
I'm assuming something like Pathfinder: Kingmaker(?)
Well ya, kind of. But still have to roll for it to discover the monsters strong points and vulnerabilities.
HobGoblin, which approach does the game have to Mods? Neverwinter-night like or the Elder Scrolls like?
If you want to change existing elements, you need to replace the related configuration files and scripts with your modified versions.
To add new elements, e.g. new races, spells, feats, items, etc. you can simply add new configuration files that be will be included by the game automatically.
So it's a bit of a hybrid? New materials and stuff can be picked up automatically but won't appear in a game unless placed or replacing something?
Is there a dynamic database of sorts?
What about ruleset changes?
Word of developers is that the system is a baseline 3.5, so it wouldn't be possible to, say, make an AD&D conversion.
They also want to modify certain rules such as alignment, but I really hope someone is keeping track of all these changes from 3.5.
Yeah, I hope they try to stay true to the 3.5 ruleset as possible. Of course, wishing for a "TOEE2" would be too much to ask for right?
Are there children in the game? Are they immortal?
Yes, there will be children in the game. They are invulnerable because they won't join a combat and they are not affected by damage spells.
