#70494, "Protection good/evil"
|
Is there any way to control which one you get if you're neither good nor evil? This has always been my biggest beef when playing neutrals, even if I have cancellation.
Why does it even work that way? Would it not be logical to make it a permanent choice (the way it was for neutral clerics in D&D), or have it protect you from both good and evil, at half strength?

is that you have ability protect from alignment, while good/evil cannot.
So having it at random isn't much of a problem.

Not that I play them often (prot is one of the reasons I don't) but I've always felt they're getting the shaft re: gear and preps.
The best gear is either evil only or goodie only, you can't use protection, you have most disadvantages of a goodie but none of the advantages of evil.

You can use protection as a neutral, just unreliably which doesn't matter if you are looking at offensive raid or retrieval.
At the same time no one can protect against you.

There would at least be logic to neutrals not having protection at all, but randomness is just... meh.

I don't get why way back they decided to give this boost to neutral against their g/e enemies. As it is now, at the very least there ought to exist a prot vs neutral for g/e as well.
