I think that one reason why Reza could be more neutral (or even more evil - those rats are vicious!) is because it's a primarily -human- town. I know, humans are neutral, but IMHO, all neutral means is that there's no racial expectation to act evil/good. And I can certainly see why Vampires would have more of a hold there, as "the sins of the flesh" have a tight hold on most people. I've always thought of Reza as a border-esque town, with set laws, yes, but not with much respect to those laws. I think the balance of the towns is pretty good the way that it is - Primarily, the towns are all neutral, but you have your good side of town, and the bad. In more ways than one. Also, to touch on why Plith, the battle-center on the war against evil would allow evil-aligned characters in: Who judges what characters or mobs are evil? Or good? I know one huge part of my Slayer character's background is based off of the fact that she was a murdering, skull-splitting, stab-you-in-the-back pirate for most of her life. But she's still a Slayer, and therefore "good" Appearences, even when covered in scales, and eating kittens, are deceiving. Anyway, just thought I'd add my two-cents in, as babbling as it may be.

So guess what good buddy, I have your pword and you can get ahold of me any way you'd like, I'll give him right back to you. Much love, Durron

That sounds really awesome Syn. Yet another thing for me to look forward to when I'm finally able to connect 20,000 years from now.

So Minotaurs ( a sentient bovine in humanoid form) are easier to visualize than a race of humanoid form sentient "rockmen"? Or the almost demihuman Titans? An earth/rock based race is not as common but they do exist elsewhere. Every race on sentience was originally thought of somewhere else. Again the magic/fantasy basis of the game would be enough to allow for these "exotic" races. They could be made more "original" by changing the name and some stats but they would still be based on something else. And again, the elemental earth component of this race would give them at least average human intelligence and dex. Would they suffer trying to hit a small (ie dwarf etc) target sure, but no more or at least not much more than a Titan. Your "average" human, elf, vampire, lich or what ever race would not survive in the adventuring world, the player character of any race is Above average hence the stats.

It sucks, completely. Something needs to be fixed, or changed, or maybe it needs to be completely re-vamped, just something.

Too simple. I say we change the affect to dispelling the entire area, rename it to gosplat and work our way from there.

In so far as pvp is concerned, I think the balance issues would be much more easily solved if there weren't discrepancies between the number of attacks each player could potentially have coupled with a limit on defenses. Spread over the course of a fight there's little that can compare to the damage potential of one, two, or even three more attacks per round than your opponent. The only reason it doesn't cause a total collapse of balance is the tendency of the various algorithms to "streak", adding a fairly high degree of random luck to a fight. Using this tendency as a form of balance really only degrades the ability of the player to use strategy and skill however.

Sneak stays on for me.

Ah thanks for the response Ertai, I love it when the imms tell us mere mortals how things work. If any of you would be so kind as telling us some more formulas and such, im sure it appease the anal bastards among us. One I have been wondering about is just how the armor class system works as I have had a hard time testing that with the randomness of damage. Looking forward to the pmount info though , thanks. :)

actually, it was from other muds as well…but v_ASS_ago, and you can see it if you look really closely, jacked a shitload of ideas from AD&D 2nd addition. 1 point for each one of those things you can spot there! or just dont log there bc it chuggggssss asscock. :)

For making it not just a vuln against vamps, what about my idea above about being able to use it in combat, against anyone, as stabbing them with a stake with very small percentage chance of death, much higher chance of just jabbing them? I also like the idea of it being used against lesser vampires - old blood being so much more powerful, and old vampires having experience and strength from so many years, young vampires it makes sense to be vulnerable, even with trained up stats. Would be a very cool skill to have if an area was created as a vampire area.. a crypt or something, not just the one little place under Reza, but a town or at least a large area. For RP value that'd be nice, since right now vampires (not counting players!) are sort of an afterthought in the game's set up - their areas, RP equipment and mobs play a very minor role. Rat mobs play a larger RP value than the total of vampire stuff. Just a thought :) Heh, forgive me if it's not totally coherent, I'm sick again and on lots of cold medicine…. and back to bed with me.

yea, that's a problem with theme music. If it's crappy Midi music, people might just want to listen to it about once or twice, shut the thing off and put on their own music. We gotta try to add something that won't waste the artist's time and work.

That could be interesting.

Sorry about not being around this weekend. I was busy from thursday on either dealing with family or…. hell, it was my birthday. I was having a shitload of fun. But I should be around all weekend. eRT
