Offense may not be about actively trying to avoid getting hit, but that doesn't mean you can't learn something if you happen to avoid getting hit. I get that this is to prevent what you feel may be abusive training techniques, but I personally don't think it 'makes total sense' to remove the gains ...

I never thought the time would pass that Lae would not return to the land of the living, nor when the one who blew life in her depart from the lands. I hope this is only a hiatus and not a true departure. Even while away for years now, when I peek back in, under a new name, or an old face echoes of ...

Befriend a Utasa and you might.

For a moment, just a fleeting moment I though the leadership within the Outpost had a warmed heart that grew three sizes this past day. I worried if they were about to have a tasty.. er 'unfortunate' accident one night.

Hunted by whom, which organization and/or governance? I am more than slightly out of the loop and would like to be updated is all.

Hmm.. Is this 'Elystole' acting in good faith of Shadgard? If so is this grounds for a member of the Outpost to be justified in attacking freely those of Shadgard for aggression inflicted upon by their active agent 'Elystole'? If so, I might have to begin playing my Outpost supporter and causing cha...

While this started elsewhere, I would like to find and read more journals if it is reasonable/possible. This would be a good IC way of keeping up to date, don't you think? For reference.. I have been largely gone for two years.. so I have a lot to get updated on, haha. Original Topic: http://bbs.con...

nothing particular that I wanted to ask about there is a char of mine I haven't done much on mainly because I'm not relaly sure what to do. or where things are. it would be nice to have a way to ask someone. there arnt many of neither of the guilds with in question that I have chars in. that I just...

I wasn't talking about abilities I was talking about where the headquarters are and the services If you wish to know that, then you can ask about it on 'Question' or you can ask permission to learn about the Guild in question via E-Mail with staff. I'm curious, which guild did you want to know more...

well that is kind of the point. so a guild isn't populated enough to have people help you does that mean we should all have are characters killed and because there is no one to ask for assistance? that doesn't seem quite right if someone does the hard towk to get into an rp guild then who is to say...

They aren't in fact, I can think of at least one more. And speaking a bit more on topic... I can see your point I think. It's alot harder to be a bad character in clok than a good one, especially a SUCCESSFUL bad character. Secretive guilds are just one of the points of some of the more antagonisti...

I have limited knowledge on most guilds but my own, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the monks the only non "bad" organization (guild/city) that needs rp/gm approval? That's not really my main point, though. Monks are also the only 'good' organization (guild/city), everything else ar...

Keeping it IC.. why not have the Infirmary mail the debtor that they have X balance needed to pay off, plus 5riln for mailing cost?

That's why I wasn't suggesting that. Your ability to determine quolity would be tied to either your ability to make it, or your ability to use it. Swordsman and other bladesmen often used test cuts to tell quality. To echo this, you could have a one to three time use item that wouldn't use up durab...

So no one liked my earlier suggestion of the Average non-craftsman pc being unable to see quality? :( It would simply cause people to study when they buy anything, if they end up having bad luck on the damage rolls or roll ranges.. the would quickly finger the seller as a liar and a conartist. Why?...

Barius wrote:I'll give you that. I mainly had in mind weapons anyway, so pretend I was talking merely about weapons and not armor.

The fix then is still the same. Make weapons finite, not one time use but repairing has a increased chance at lowering quality to average.

Barius wrote:The only way you're going to get players to be happy with average quality items is to...

Not really. Look at armor, people often use near average armor from its finite nature even with repairs. Weapons just need to be more like armor.

Stealing a little from Avatar: TLB a litttttttle, why not lightning for pyromancy? I mean, in general, a lot of what's in that show seems like it could fit in reasonably. As for air, sonic booms, or sharpening it into something that cuts? Because you can already weave lightning without having two c...

I was there when Masteries were put in place, but they did nothing other than unlock three channels of the same element. Do they do something special now?

Hmm... How much have Elemancers changed in my absence?

Last time I was back I was getting the Guild 'rebalanced' as a regular thing. I'm not sure I should drain the rest of the magic from the world.

I was under the impression that elemancers don't belong on the front lines, but simply supporting the other stronger characters. With this in mind it makes complete sense that they not be completely combat oriented, but made to support a group of people in creative ways. ...Have I really slept this...

Battle skirts are also non feminine in the slightest.. Roman soldiers used them, Normally leather strips 2-3 inches wide with metal rivits that go down to the knees.

Not really, it changes the worth of the shiny object. The daring will still use it. Shiny weapons and armor are not for training, they are for after you complete your training.
