Collins is a trader and does not utilize stealth. He does get a ridiculously large attack bonus, I'm sure, from using a mount and this certainly doesn't interfere with the overall combat strategy he is entirely geared for. His use of a horse is absolutely logical and certainly not an example of atyp...

While stealth can lower defenses significantly, it does not provide a direct boost to combat skills that allows one to grow in combat at an accelerated rate. Hiding is very limited in many ways and certainly not a constant bonus, but a skill just like any other, that must be specifically trained. Ch...

I think I remember this being suggested before at some point but couldn't find it so here it is again. How about adding some stealthier mounts (i.e. able to hide) for light weapon using professions like udemi, shar, utasa, and thieves. Maybe have the bonus go in reverse of the usual order: Polearms:...

[OOC - DEV Rias]: Sceptus Corvus was an ordinary boy until his mom forced him to go to church one too many times. He then declared his hatred for the Church and took up sorcery. He now spends most of his time poring over dusty old tomes and improving his hopscotch game. The end.

I thought they weren't overpowered and also that you can't hunt with them...

Alternatively, just as a suggestion you could have the energy drain from a 3rd channel not influenced by channeling. The second channel would then be hard to train off but possible with channeling. The first channel would be strongly influenced by channeling. I'm not saying this is how it should be ...

Cool ability. Does this have a chance to fail (some sort of check) or is it an automatic break of engagement?

I sometimes hunt with spearhead, but I think for me it's that not many people (that Acarin tolerates) hunt what I do AND if I were to drop down to something easier, I wouldn't be receiving any skill gains.

Wait.... you mean they're not intended to have 5000 for all of their combat skills?

Not very close to reality. This game is mainly fantasy.

look zergling The zergling runs on all fours, the size of a largeish dog. In addition to a maw of razor teeth and four wickedly-clawed feet, it sports two spindly, talon-tipped appendages sprouting from its back. You say, "You look like you'd make a fine mount." You nod to a salivating zer...

That sounds more than fair.

My highest weapon skill is somewhere between 1250 and 1750 and my dodge and melee are lower than that. I keep getting tasks to kill dangerous infested bowmen and sentries in the logging camp (Their R/M is somewhere between 2200 and 2600 because I like ranges). These attempts are rarely successful du...

[FROM Kiyaani (OOC)]: but i had my eye of the tiger music all set up for claw. claw claw claw. claw claw claw. claw claw claw claw. CLAW!

Now I'll never get to slaughter Dimmes.

Thanks for crushing my last remaining dream.




Disclaimer: This is intended as a joke, not as a real display of disappointment.

FYI, that was a joke. fin.

Thanks Sionyl! Always glad to hear that someone enjoyed my rp! First, I ask everyone I first meet if they are associated with the church. Acarin accuses many people of being templar or monks when he first meets them regardless of what they are wearing and assumes they are church friendly until they ...

Congratulations. Shadgard now hates you.

Does this work on rooks/claw members with nether vision running (since they have a much lower light requirement)?

This seems like it would be in the realm of Shar, not utasa. I want to stress that this is not a complaint and I certainly don't mind utasa darkening rooms for shar members further. This just seems a little odd to me with their current ability set and with shadow orb already existing. I'd think bend...

I pronounce Acarin as Ack!-ARRRRH-in
It more piratey that way.
Alternatively, it can be pronounced as "Big A"

I don't get it.

EDIT: Although evelyn's previous post stating that I only pick on weak players (and also stating that I never attack established players) has now been removed after this posting, I will leave this up in case anyone else feels that I am treating them unfairly through IC actions. Lets see: I've certai...

I entirely agree that tormenting any player just for the sake of one's own personal entertainment is uncalled for as outlined in policy 2. That being said, there are rp reasons why one may attack a new character which I've been told are legitimate. I wholeheartedly believe that entirely new characte...
