Will goblins have the ability to hide/sneak regardless of class? If so, to what proficiency?

do the races have relatively the same spell complexities if they were at the same level and same stats? Or are they based off off the race i.e. gnome has higher spell complexities over a troll.

No. they get a bonus to the skills /if/ they have them.

The complexity bonuses listed are on top of any other bonuses they get. They are absolute values though, not a percentage.

let me redo my question so it sounds more clear :P

would a gnome (without added complexity bonuses from starsigns, bloodlines, and race bonuses listed above) have the same complexities as a troll (without added complexity bonuses from starsigns, bloodlines, and race bonueses listed above)?

well in that case (i cant be sure on anything i say anymore) before adding all bonuses and reduations due to race and all that then im sure all races are exactly the same but as kiasyn said, just being a troll would give you a -1 to all complexitys

This means a day of coding fun for me really. I'll be adding anything I can think of.

Think about being able to tinker a set of mechanical pets, tweaking objects (like turning a pair of greaves into a steampowered pair of greaves to give it +1 str) and a few extra craft options here and there. Nothing uber, just enough to have some fun with it.

Its all still pretty vague. If I do not have the time i'll keep tinkerdwarf locked for when I do.

Doesn't the no extra damage from aggressive/berserk style seem a bit much for the half-orc/orc race? Doesn't that equate into a rather large hp bonus?

Btw I think Rock Troll should be changed to Mountain Troll in order to 1. fit in with the style of the other Trolls (Forest, Desert) and 2. so that its differentiated from Rock Troll pets...

So back with half-orc/orc...

It appears that aggressive style means you take about 10% extra damage? Not sure about berserk. Probably 15% or 20%

So a 10% bonus to hp? That would be 6,000 enchant space for being in aggressive, more for berserk. How about half that? Half extra damage for being in aggressive/berserk. Still nice and useful, without giving them a significant percent bonus that tops the other races.
