Well, this is a creating a character only option. When the game starts, you go through every thing like normal, race, male, subclass, and then it would ask you; what kind of character will this be? Fighter, Mage, theif, knight… bla bla bla. These classes will determine how your stats start off in the game. For the 20/20 20/20 100/100 stats. You could have 40/40 40/40 60/60. Or something else to start off. This would also be useful when someone picks a mage class and they have more than 20 mana to start off the level. Then, they will also get to chose what Kind of weapon they think they would be immagine their charcter using. Every starter class would get a certain list of weapons. This will give them some sort of boost when using the weapon. Emtae

I Keep trying to immagine a Bard playing a song, dancing and/or singing in combat… sadly isn't working... But any way... I like the basis of Ith's thoughts on bards. They do have some leathal songs. I would still like to keep some of the none combat songs like Rigor, Purple Mist, fat owl hoping, and a dwarven tale. Adding songs like, sleep, charm, and some sort of cursing idea would be good. I can under stand some of the songs like healing dance thing, and such, however, these spells benifit mainly characters with lots of mana to spare. But, a good point none the less. A suggestion would be, if a sage, have the % of success, and power of healing go up per second. If using an intrument, have the magical abilities take less mana per second. This would be like using magical powers stored inside the intrument being used. On Nops idea on weapons, I could see a couple of uses. My characters desc. will have a golden harp for a bow, and in inventory, making it seem like its actually being worn. Weapons like swords, only game I know of were a instrument works like a sword would be Illusions of Gaia. He uses a flute for a sword style weapon. I could see swords with flute style handles on them, or some how attached. I think people can use their immagination. I personally think, making it not possible to wear and an intrument at the same time would be fair. People who don't even have bow skills use them any way. I am pushing for the Sage % boost, and the bow/instrument change up. And currently, holding an instrument, and being bard offer no boost for a bard atm. Emtae

Hopefully I'll come back, remember I drive in the convoy's that keep getting blown up :P

Driving is fun for about the first week then it turns into road rage every time you get behind the wheel! :D Cuz people dont know how to freakin drive. I'd walk everywhere but the closest strip club is like 5 miles away so I want a car :P

Having a light source and two other held items does seem unrealistic. This is only because of the "You light the whatever and hold it." Maybe that line should be changed to read something a little more believable, or just changed to take out the hold part. You light the black heart of Gazar. Then you're down to only two items held (three if you're a bard). Holding an instrument, problem solved. ANd in the past bards did suck, then CoA became popular, Rigor became heavily useful, and Illusionists found a liking to the songs not being blocked by spell deflection. And even if bard music will always be unblockable by spell deflection, in no_magic rooms, a bard shouldn't be able to play at all. No_Magic rooms should be more like Silence rooms.

^^ Agreed.

Job? What's that?

let him know Ardghal says hi too

maybe twas just luck? :P

There is nothing wrong with using a proxy to access Sentience. I have to do it myself.

Ok I got pushed foward one day then I got pushed foward another half a day so I am offically gone after this. I hope the game keeps kicking ass and Ill be out there kicking ass for all you. Later! I had to be a Soldier to get through life now I get to be considered one by the rest of the world. :)

Thanks a ton man - it means heaps to us in charge when people say stuff like this 8) I've been real busy with school the last few weeks (big surprise), but still working on the game, me and whisp have some fun stuff planned for y'all as soon as we can get it all tested and merged. I'm off for a drink and some dinner - cheers y'all !

Warlords, male or female, should be called Warlords. Witches, male or female, should be called Witches. Especially taking into consideration that even in wiccan religeon, males are referred to as witches as there are no warlocks :)

Avatar looks great Stareve! Now I just have to steal… erm "get" an avatar of my own. :lol:

Just a note, the v4.0 mud master 2000 is still in development and is not what I would consider stable due to some big code changes. Yes its open source now, but finding coders with time and desire is a diffrent matter :( So I have to suggest 3.90 at http://www.mmgui.com until someone gets crackin on 4.0 and gets it back to a point where it is at least as stable as 3.90 is now. Great free MUD client though :)

Hell, might as well just tack the whole thing on as an attatchment for the enjoyment of all.
