4.3 progress? Options

[coaster]

Hi Sikret

Sorry to be a pain but do you have any idea when v4.3 will be ready for public release (not looking for a specific day, but whether it might be a matter of days or weeks?)

I would quite like another run through BG2 with IA installed, but as there seems to be an increasing list of bugfixes & features for 4.3 compared to 4.2, I am wondering if it is worth waiting for a bit longer.

Thanks

Sikret, I don't mean overpowered as in game breaking. If you look at my post, I was comparing this HLA to those other classes receive. I only meant "overpowered with respect to other high level abilities," particularly those of fighters/theives (priest and mages are sort of in a whole different stratosphere).

Just so we don't get tripped up on semantics, I'll choose a new word. Let's say, instead, that this power seems somewhat inequitable compared to what other classes receive, fighters and thieves, particularly. For example, a thief gets a 4 second boost to AC and some saves with evasion, and can invest a SECOND HLA point to improve the AC bonus and saves a bit (but not the 4 second duration).

Comparing that to what you're suggesting, which is 10 rounds of regen that equals what a 7th level cleric spell can do, and immunity to some of the most lethal spells out there (including level 9 mage spell imprisonment), this just seems a bit too good, again, for an HLA. The limit of one use per day helps, but again, my recommendation (as stated in my previous post) is not to change the regen, but modify the immunities to a bonus. Just a recommendation - I recall you asking for feedback. Do as you see fit.

As an aside, apparently I need to be extra careful with my wording on these boards, because apparently the only thing that was noted about my last post was a single word: overpowered. While had thought my additional context explained what I meant with by word (the word choice was not actually incorrect within the context I was using it), the response and specific example given - high level priests can do a similar thing using their highest level spell slot - makes me feel that I was unheard. But next time I'll just make sure my word choice is absolutely pristeen. I'm part of a small minority of english speakers who feels confident in my ability to pull that off.
