[Council House, Assembly Room] The high ceiling is coffer-paneled in oak, polished to such a high gleam that it reflects back light from any source. Grey-green tapestries hang from brass poles set at intervals along the white walls. Floor standing candleholders bear thick, yellowed candles that gleam softly, casting a golden glow over the room. A bright light shines down upon the podium at the front of the room. Also here: GameMaster Melatha, and the citizens of Athens. Obvious exits: out. >Melatha says, "Thank you all for coming. I am GM Melatha, combat and warrior guru. Tonight we will talk a little bit about the upcoming release of combat Version 5.0, and how it will effect your characters. Please take a seat, get settled, and when everyone is ready, we will get started." >Melatha says, "First will be me talking, afterwards I will take questions" and streamers appears. When the swirling winds die down the centaur form of GameMaster Jubalee is revealed! >Jubalee smiles. >Jubalee waves. >Melatha says, "As many of you might have gathered, we have been hard at work on reallocation. What you may not know, is that we have also been hard at work completely rewriting all of combat, adding features, redoing how basic things work, and revisiting many issues that you guys... the players, have brought up. " >Melatha says, "We haven't been able to address every issue at one time, but many, many of the small issues have been worked on. Game balance and playability have been major concerns during this rewrite. Measures have also been put into place that will allow me to address basic combat issues in hours or days instead of months or years. " Announcement: Tonight's forum on Combat is in progress at the Council House in the Northwest quad of Athens. Please join us if you are able. > Jubalee is suddenly gone, sucked up in a whirlwind of confetti! >Melatha says, "From here on out, new features, additions, abilities, weapons, combat moves, and the support required by the professions themselves within combat, will allow for faster, more responsive development. " >Melatha says, "Many core systems have been rewrorked to allow for this greater game balance, and those which have not been reworked are in development at this time. There will be more changes after reallocation, however, we felt the need to address these issues before reallocation gets here, so there will be fewer problems when it arrives." >Melatha says, "So, getting down to business. I would first like to announce the arrival of Battlecraft! (the warrior skill system in this pre-reallocation version)." >Melatha says, "warriors may now yell and holler.. you deserve it" >You hear, seemingly from nowhere, an enthusiastic voice cheering at the tops of its lungs. >You hear the voice of Jubalee exclaim, "Ok, so I'm not a warrior, but it's exciting!" Utas asks, "are these skills warrior specfic?" >Melatha says, "I'll get to questions in a minute" >Melatha says, "I am also pleased to announce Combat Version 5.0, including hand and a hanf fighting style, polearm class weapons, and plyer controlled stancing abilities. This version comes complete with a MEASURE verb that will tell you EXACTLY how good you are with any given weapon." >Melatha says, "All of this will come out soon" Melatha says, "groans are now appropriate" >Arythe asks, "Soon as in?" >Utas asks, "hand and Hanf?" >Melatha says, "To be honest..." >Arythe says, "You don't know." >Melatha says, "This was a trick" >Melatha says, "It is now live" >Merlun asks, "how do you do the battlecry?" Zacc asks, "Is that like a RSN?" >Melatha says, "That's what I mean when *I* say soon" >Agrimony gawks at Melatha. >Agrimony asks, "live?" >Darkstorm asks, "so we can see how good we are with weapons now?" >Merlun cackles! >Melatha says, "everyone measure a weapon" >Claudine says, "wow" Agrimony says, "tell me it isn't a dream." >Gloomthryn says, "say reallocation will be here soon Melatha" >Claudine says, "I mean wow" >Zacc says, "Well, I can't tell much about it" >Cydara's eyes widen as she utters the name of Melatha! >Melatha says, "when yer done, please setlle again" >Cydara says, "nifty." >Agrimony says, "talkative thing it is" >Gerett says, "Hm.." >Darkstorm lets out a hearty cheer for Melatha! Melatha says, "ok, ok, you can play with it after the forum as well..." >Melatha grins. >Melatha says, "settle" >Phalo says, "you should have waited to tell" >Melatha grins. >Melatha says, "I'm a different sort of GM " >Melatha says, "next, try info" >Darkstorm asks, "can we ask questions soon?" >Llorien removes an iron fish spine sword from her backpack. >Melatha says, "You'll notice encumbrance is gone" >Melatha says, "questions soon, not yet" >Melatha says, "next... try stance" >Melatha says, "you may set a base stance for yourself" >Arythe asks, "Wha's stance do?" >Phalo lets out a howl for Melatha! >Gerett asks, "Did I miss something in info?" >Tkeeri says, "show's how guarded you may be towards an attack" Melatha says, "stance sets a base stance for you to fight from... and handles what I call combat avoid" >Melatha says, "when you are at a negative stance, you are harder to leap at. The closer to -25 you are, the harder it is to engage you with leap" >Melatha says, "This was done for our ranged users" >Melatha says, "There is a new weapon class..." >Melatha says, "Polearms" >Utas asks, "how does it effect an attack?" >Gerett says, "Questions later." >Utas says, "whoops sorry" >Melatha says, "Polearms act as ranged weapons outside of melee, and poor two-handers in melee" >Arythe says, "So spears basically" >Melatha says, "exactly" >Darkstorm asks, "staff?" >Melatha says, "We also have hand and a half fighting style" >Melatha says, "if you are using a one hander, and your offhand is empty, you recieve a bonus to damage" >Melatha says, "dodge makes you harder to hit, and you will notice a new display of dodging during combat" >Melatha says, "armor absorbs damage" >Melatha says, "armor reduces your effective dodge" >Melatha says, "there is another major change" >Melatha says, "heavier armor costs mora fatigue when using leap, tumple, and flip" >Arythe says, "makes sense." >Melatha says, "being fatigued will effect your dodge as well" >Melatha says, "Now, on to some Battlecraft" >Melatha says, "There are 4 skills released tonight." >Beldin says, "Instant death being usable by all warriors..." >Melatha says, "I had hoped for more, but they will be here soon. Soon as in me saying soon, not what you are accustomed to." >Arythe chortles at Melatha. >Melatha grins. >Gerett asks, "Next year instead of three?" >Gerett beams! >Tkeeri grins at Melatha. >Darkstorm says, "2 years isnt so bad." >Melatha says, "ok, now raise yer hands fer questions" >Darkstorm raises his hand. >Gloomthryn raises his hand. >Merlun raises his hand. >Windel raises his hand. >Tkeeri raises her hand. >Melatha says, "Darkstorm" >Darkstorm says, "I have 2 questions." >A cloud of golden sparks suddenly appears in the air, forming the outline of a male Human before resolving into Bontinor himself. >Astraea leans on Melatha. >Stardust raises her hand. >Utas raises his hand. >Darkstorm asks, "If there is no encumberance, does that mean you can use any type of armor even though it might be heavy?" >Melatha says, "yes" >Utas asks, "are these skills warrior specfic?" >Melatha says, "The effectiveness of armor is capped by your level" Jubalee appears in a whirlwind of confetti and party streamers. >Darkstorm asks, "If armor absorbs damage, is there a certain amount before the armor breaks?" Melatha says, "This will change in post reallocation, but that is how it will be for now" >Melatha says, "yes" >Darkstorm gasps! >Bontinor chuckles at Darkstorm. >Melatha says, "you may assess your armor to determine how damaged it is" Bontinor says, "No free lunch, sorry." >Melatha says, "then fix it" >Windel grins. >Tkeeri grins at Bontinor. >Stardust begins to carelessly examine her silvery chain shirt. >Darkstorm asks, "armor kit?" >Melatha says, "there are toolkits available at the weapon and armor shops around town" >Darkstorm asks, "can I ask 1 more?" >Melatha says, "quickly, yes" Darkstorm asks, "will weapons break?" >Melatha says, "Everything can be repaired, it will never be too broken to fix" >Merlun says, "just warriors can do it better" >Gerett mutters unless it shatters into a million tiny pieces. >Melatha says, "You may need to go to someone more skilled, or an NPC, but it can be fixed" >Bontinor nods. >Melatha says, "anyone can repair minor damage" >Melatha says, "ok..." >Bontinor says, "No worries about things vanishing on you." >Melatha says, "next was Gloomthryn" >Darkstorm grins at Bontinor. >Elementalist Kalipso just arrived. >Gloomthryn asks, "due to the implemtaon of hand and a half fighting, have one handers been down tweeked, or two handers uptweaked?" >Melatha exclaims, "And thank you to GM Bontinor for a fine materials and damage system!" >Melatha lets out a howl for Bontinor! >Llorien lets out a hearty cheer for Bontinor! >Tkeeri lets out a howl for Bontinor! >Jubalee applauds Bontinor! >Windel gets an impish expression on his face, and lets out a hearty cheer. >Leanna applauds Bontinor! >Merlun lets out a howl for Bontinor! >Stardust applauds Bontinor! >Bontinor chuckles. >Stardust applauds Bontinor! >Hellena claps her hands at Bontinor. >Agrimony gazes at Bontinor in awe. >Melatha says, "It is an entirely new combat system, no downtweaking has happened yet" >Melatha grins at Gloomthryn. >Bontinor says, "If you're still applauding after I'm done tinkering, then I'll know I've done something right." >Astraea says, "heh." >Tkeeri grins at Bontinor. >Arythe giggles at Bontinor. >Darkstorm beams at Astraea! >Gloomthryn asks, "so all damage systems are different as of now?" >Melatha says, "yes" >Gloomthryn nods. >Stardust exclaims, "Huzzah!" >Melatha says, "measure your weapon to see your damage ranges" >Melatha says, "Kill times are targetted at 45 seconds when you use no combat aids" >Gerett says, "I got considerably weaker." >Gerett nods to Melatha. >Gerett says, "I hold you responsible." >Arythe raises her hand. >Beldin says, "Hah. Already found something to bug." >Jubalee chuckles at Gerett. >Kida raises her hand. >Melatha says, "Bug bugs, use the boards, and I will also be available to fix things later" >Astraea says, "Thats something that does need to be understood. Your not going to get the same 382 damage every swing anymore. Your going to have to fight for about 45 seconds. which means like 6 to 9 attacks... not 3." >Utas peers quizzically at Melatha. >Utas says, "say again for us new guys in slow words" >Gerett exclaims, "Hope you boosted the experience!" >Melatha says, "ok, Merlun" >Skkyler says, "Hah! No bugs, I told you so." >Tkeeri asks, "what if I don't have 45 seconds?" >Merlun says, "well i had 2" >Melatha says, "ok" >Windel asks, "remember old old combat?" >Windel peers quizzically at Gerett. >Windel says, "there ya go" Astraea says, "50 experience every minute... = 1000 experience in 20. " >Gerett nods to Windel. >Windel grins at Gerett. >Melatha says, "settle again folks" >Windel says, "same time" >Astraea says, "I think that seems pretty good." >Enchantress Ivorie just arrived. >Merlun asks, "is how to use the new warrior skills going to be posted?" >Tkeeri points at Melatha. >Tkeeri says, "he said it" >Merlun says, "you didnt tell how to use them" >Gerett flails his arms around in front of Astraea. >Melatha says, "Actually, I will be in a tent in a few minutes helping the first warriors learn skills" >Gerett says, "I dont get 50." >Melatha says, "it will all be posted as well, yes" >Merlun nods. >Darkstorm raises his hand. >Melatha asks, "next question?" >Darkstorm sighs. >Melatha peers quizzically at Merlun. >Stardust raises her hand. >Kida raises her hand. >Tkeeri glances at Melatha. >Cirena points at Tkeeri. >Cirena nods to Melatha. Merlun says, "secondly i notitced that balanced weapon didnt give the damage stats " >Windel points at himself. >Windel grins. >Tkeeri grins at Cirena. >Kida nods. >Melatha says, "Bug bugs, and I'll look into it" >Melatha grins. >Gerett says, "My balanced weapon did." >Gerett pokes a steel katana. >Merlun says, "oh nevermind think i did that before it took effect" >Cervesus says, "so did mine" >Melatha says, "There are bound to be issues folks..." >Gerett says, "Have to be holding it though." >Melatha grins. >Merlun nods. >Melatha says, "That is why I will be available to fix things as they are reported" >Merlun says, "that was all" >Melatha nods to Merlun. >Merlun smiles. >Melatha exclaims, "Windel!" >Agrimony asks, "any specific folder you'd like bugs and comments to go to for new combat?" >Melatha says, "Combat" >Darkstorm grins. >Windel asks, "If you can say, what stats/skills determine your stamina for fatigue?" >Windel grins at Melatha. >Melatha says, "That won't be a secret..." >Melatha says, "It will change after reallo, and then it will become a secret likely" >Melatha says, "for now, it is equal to your health" >Gerett groans. >Windel asks, "and the range after the first on my sai.. is that a critical strike deal?" >Melatha says, "no" >Melatha says, "That is a lucky shot, above and beyond crits" >Cydara pulls at a citrine cup-shaped relic. Windel says, "ah" >Windel says, "okay" >Windel grins. >Windel says, "thanks" >Cydara mutters something under her breath. >Melatha says, "the high end of your measured damage will be hard to hit" >Windel nods. >Gerett sticks out his tongue and lets loose with a loud, "Thbtbtbtbt" from his lips! >Melatha grins at Gerett. >Gerett mutters gonna take a week to kill these damned things. >Melatha exclaims, "Tkeeri!" >Tkeeri grins at Melatha. >Gerett removes a steel katana from his doeskin sheath. >Tkeeri asks, "being a warrior, there's nothing saying that I'm required to wear armor...but will that be a disadvantage for me?" >Ivorie eyes up Bontinor. >Melatha says, "Depends on yer training" >Tkeeri says, "I personally can't see a tree-climbing amazon wearing a lot of heavy armor" >Gerett nods to Windel. >Melatha says, "You will notice a new display in combat, showing yer dodge" >Arythe giggles at Tkeeri. >Darkstorm beams! >Darkstorm exclaims, "Go dodge!" >Melatha says, "If yer dodge is terrible... might want some armor" >Melatha grins at Tkeeri. >Darkstorm raises his hand. >Tkeeri asks, "so as long as I keep my dodging skills trained up, I'm fairly ok?" >Melatha says, "Ayup" >Astraea removes a two-handed pink flamingo from her silk purse. >Tkeeri says, "I know you said the armor would absorb some of the damage, but if my dodging is ok, I should be taking less anyways" >Arythe blinks at Astraea. >Arythe giggles at Astraea. >Phalo groans at Astraea. Gerett nods to Llorien. >Melatha says, "there is one other thing I should add here" Dancer Skorche just arrived. >Skorche sits down. >Astraea says, "hehe." >Tkeeri nods to Melatha. >Melatha says, "Magical armor" Phalo mutters please no more pink >Phalo shudders. >Gloomthryn hums! >Melatha grins. >Arythe listens intently to Melatha. >Tkeeri winks at Melatha. >Gloomthryn raises his hand. >Merlun listens intently to Melatha. >(Agrimony prepares emergency rations of elixir for all the oopses that will occur during the first engagement.) >Darkstorm asks, "magic armor?" >Melatha says, "There will be armor of dodging, and all kinds of things" >Darkstorm exclaims, "yay!" >Darkstorm lets out a hearty cheer for Melatha! >Astraea puts a two-handed pink flamingo in a small silk purse. >Melatha says, "Armor of dodging, for instance, will grant you dodge, but no AC" >Arythe asks, "AC?" >Melatha says, "armor class" >Kida raises her hand. >Melatha says, "it will absorb no damage" >Darkstorm raises his hand. >The blood slowly drains from Merlun's face. >Arythe nods. >Agrimony removes her etched bronze bodice-armor. >Tkeeri grins at Cirena. >Melatha says, "there will also be various levels of armor ability in between" >Bontinor says, "And it will take the place of something that could absorb damage. Your choice, though." >Bontinor says, "Might, sorry." >Melatha says, "very rare armor will grant both AC and Dodge... like the armor of Ares" >Tkeeri grins at Bontinor. >Agrimony begins a careless inspection of her etched bronze bodice-armor. >Agrimony finishes examining her etched bronze bodice-armor, but she appears only marginally enlightened. >Cirena starts to say something, then stops. >Gerett asks, "Where can I get some?" Gerett flashes his teeth in a quick smile. >Arythe giggles at Gerett. >Bontinor grins at Gerett. >Darkstorm says, "I have so many questions, I forgot some." >Darkstorm sighs. Bontinor says, "I hear Ares has a set. You might want to talk to him." >Melatha says, "I will be altering your present armor at the fair this weekend..." >Astraea says, "well it could do both." >Tkeeri says, "Ares is a sissy lala" >Agrimony puts a knotwork etched bronze bodice-armor on. >Arythe cackles at Bontinor! >Melatha says, "For a LOT of dinar" >Cirena nods to Tkeeri. >Melatha says, "weapons too" >Cirena says, "And more" >Arythe giggles at Melatha. >Gloomthryn nods. >Zacc frowns. >Melatha says, "not the looks, just how they work" >Stardust blinks. >Darkstorm cackles!

Gloomthryn says, "okay, i'll take that as a maybe" >Stardust says, "We should be able to do a lot of things for ourselves" >Astraea says, "And I said maybe maybe not." >Tkeeri grins at Astraea. >Melatha says, "remember..." Mathuna says, "if your talking enchanted weapons, yes its been discussed, but will wait at least for the main office to upgrade the thinger in the background." >Mathuna grins. >Astraea says, "A southern forge is an enchantment of a weapon." >Melatha says, "This is not everything that will be..." >Astraea ponders. >Astraea says, "So is a northern forge." >Astraea nods. >Mathuna nods to Astraea. >Melatha says, "Many things simply have to wait fer reallocation" >Astraea says, "not all powerful or lasting of forever." >Gerett asks, "How about a real forge?" >Gerett smirks at Astraea. >Astraea says, "So the answer is yes you can already enchant weapons." >Mathuna says, "and yes southern and northern forge will eventually cause the weapons to do fire or cold damage while its on the weapons." >Mathuna says, "but thats for the future." >Melatha says, "Smithing has not been addressed yet" >Melatha nods to Gerett. >Merlun gazes around at his surroundings. >Melatha points at Merlun. >Astraea says, "Smithing is an issue asside from combat.

You have no idea how hard it was years ago." >Melatha shrugs. >Molecule says, "Oh it does." Merlun says, "i have" >Gloomthryn licks Skkyler on the ear. Kalipso grins at Beldin. >Molecule glances at Beldin. >Tkeeri nods to Beldin. >Molecule says, "I'll whine if I choose." >Hellena nods to Beldin. >Darkstorm laughs at Molecule. >Molecule says, "You go and go from 300+ normal to 8." >Molecule grunts. >Skkyler snuggles up close to Gloomthryn laying her head on his shoulder. >Astraea says, "The system is geared so that a creature your level will take approximately 45 seconds to kill." >Hellena says, "Especially for us warriors" >Darkstorm says, "there's your hard-headed warrior, Molecule" >Darkstorm grins. >Astraea says, "If this is not the case.... Then something may be in error." >Molecule slowly empties his lungs. >Merlun says, "i see his concern" >Molecule asks, "Someone explain how damage is done? Or are we discussing something?" >Melatha says, "If it takes you longer than 90 seconds to kill a critter, please let me know" >Cirena says, "Measure your weapon" >Melatha says, "on level that is" >Astraea says, "Taht might mean that you do get a occasional hit of 2... or 8... instead of hitting 321 every single swing be it wint a dagger or a greatsword." >Blade Master Zanzibar just arrived followed by Raekel. >Zanzibar sits down. >Raekel sits down. Melatha nods to Astraea. >Molecule says, "Uh.." >Kalipso asks, "is that 45 seconds for one person, or group or ...?" Molecule says, "Tell me this.." >Molecule says, "Doesn't seem logical.." >Cirena nods to Molecule. >Molecule asks, "Iron longsword, can do that puny of damage?" >Melatha says, "MOlecule..." >Molecule blinks. >Molecule asks, "Eh?" >Deryni asks, "Well how do you know if a critter is on level.... they measure as worthy or equal right?" >Windel removes a ruby-flaked hilted silver knife from his knitted sack. >Merlun shakes his head. >Zacc just arrived. >Molecule nods to Deryni. >Melatha says, "This is a forum run by me" >Molecule peers quizzically at Melatha. >Merlun leans back. >Molecule nods to Melatha. >Melatha nods to Molecule. >Molecule says, "I'll shush." >Melatha grins. >Molecule says, "Just a bit annoied." >Molecule grumbles. >Molecule removes a vile jagged-edged black iron longsword with dark black opal inlaid in the hilt from his white sheath. >Darkstorm mutters 8.. >Melatha says, "Raise yer hand and I will call on ya" >Melatha grins. >Molecule raises his hand. >Kalipso raises her hand. >Agrimony raises her hand. >Melatha points at Molecule. >Windel puts a ruby-flaked hilted silver knife in a large knitted sack. >Molecule grunts. >Darkstorm laughs! Melatha whistles skillfully to himself. >Molecule asks, "My turn?" >Windel puts a steel sai with a carved ivory hilt in an embroidered nymph and satyr haversack. >Molecule says, "To ask." >Molecule peers quizzically at Melatha. >Melatha nods to Molecule. >Molecule snorts. >Merlun frowns. >Molecule says, "Good good good..." >Molecule asks, "Why did I do 8?" >Darkstorm scoffs. >Melatha says, "Deep breath" Molecule blinks. >Merlun says, "i guess i wont get answered" >Molecule asks, "WHy did I do 7?" >Molecule blinks. >Beldin says, "Because you hit it crappy. Not that hard of an answer." >Astraea picks up a test longsword. >Zanzibar nods to Raekel. >Molecule glances at Beldin. >Molecule says, "Fall silent." >Skkyler snorts at Molecule. >Beldin says, "Yes massah." >Darkstorm asks, "Because you are weak?" >Darkstorm shrugs. >Skkyler exclaims, "Sir, yes sir!" >Merlun pats Molecule on the shoulder. >Tkeeri nods to Cirena. >Zanzibar gives Raekel a smooch. >Molecule slowly empties his lungs. >Molecule turns toward Melatha. >Cydara chuckles at Beldin. >Molecule asks, "WHy am I/we hitting so weak?" >Seni smiles at Dum. >Darkstorm says, "I wonder if I could beat Molecule in the arena now.." >Dum smiles at Seni. >Melatha says, "measure your weapon for me MOlecule" >Astraea dissolves in a shower of golden sparks as she heads off. >Kalipso relaxes slightly. >Zanzibar removes a massive steel executioner's sword from his weapon harness. >Merlun nods. Molecule says, "I can do 16 to 183 damage with it. I have a small chance of doing 183 to 366." Melatha says, "there ya go" >Molecule exclaims, "366 is WAY below my max!" >Molecule asks, "WHy did it droP?" >Gerett says, "No it isn't." Molecule blinks. >Melatha says, "not anymore" >Gerett says, "Your max is 366 now." >Melatha says, "This is NEW combat" >Molecule blinks. >Molecule mutters something under his breath. >Vatholian says, "Welcome to Combat 5.0" >Molecule slowly empties his lungs. >Melatha says, "It went live less than 45 minutes ago" >Molecule says, "Welcome to hades is what it sounds like to far." >Zanzibar slowly licks the length of his blade, making sure to clean off any blood that might have adhered to its surface. >Molecule grunts. >Zanzibar stows a massive steel executioner's sword in a supple leather weapon harness. >Zacc raises his hand. Windel grins at Zanzibar. >Kalipso grows visibly calmer. >Renae removes a ruby-flaked hilted silver knife from her draw-string ipposaks. >Arythe looks at Zanzibar and blanches. >Melatha says, "Battlecraft is live as well" >Hellena grins at Zanzibar. >Zanzibar winks at Windel. >Gloomthryn says, "the critters will be doing the same damage Molecule" >Molecule snorts. >Tkeeri grins at Melatha. >Molecule says, "I'd rather take my beating and give a beating." >Molecule grumbles. >Liye just arrived. >Liye settles down onto the floor. >Melatha says, "Warriors have a skillset all thier own" >Merlun sighs. >Molecule asks, "WHich is?" >Molecule peers quizzically at Melatha. >Melatha says, "Battlecraft" >Molecule asks, "Which is?" >Molecule grins at Melatha. >Melatha says, "There will be a tent tonight where you may learn skills" >Darkstorm joins Zanzibar's group. >Llorien lets out a loud sigh as she runs her hands through her hair. >Tkeeri grins at Melatha. >Llorien joins Zanzibar's group. >Merlun sighs. >Stardust asks, "Warrior only?" >Arythe nuzzles Merlun. >Molecule gazes at Melatha. >Melatha says, "yes, in the pre-reallocation version it is warrior only" >Stardust nods to Melatha. Molecule says, "Thank god.." >Melatha says, "post reallocation will be open to anyone" >Molecule looks at Renae and sighs. >Stardust says, "I can live with that" Zanzibar snuggles up close to Llorien. Molecule asks, "Wait, Reallocation is here?" >Molecule blinks. >Melatha says, "relax Molecule" >Melatha grins. Molecule says, "Sorry, but I can't." >Molecule says, "Not till I see blood." >Melatha asks, "ok, next?" >Molecule mutters something under his breath. >Molecule exclaims, "Noo!" >Molecule asks, "Whats Battlecraft?" >Molecule gazes at Melatha. >Llorien flails her arms about. Mathuna says, "sorry not yet Molecule, this is one step on the way to reallocation." >Llorien gives Molecule a little shake. >Cirena says, "I think people had questions in front of you" >Molecule ponders. >Cirena nods to Molecule. >Melatha says, "Kalipso" Darkstorm stands up. >Beldin says, "Battlecraft is the skillset, and the skillset is Battlecraft." >Agrimony raises her hand. >Molecule says, "Sorry." >Molecule babbles incoherently. >Kalipso asks, "the 45 seconds per critter, is that for one hunter, and if so it is adjusted for those that hunt with others, or is the 45 seconds just cut accourdingly?" Merlun pats Molecule on the shoulder. >Mathuna says, "but battlecraft is ready now." >Molecule slowly empties his lungs. >Mathuna grins at Melatha. >Zanzibar snuggles up close to Raekel laying his head on her shoulder. >Molecule gazes at his longsword. >Molecule grumbles. >Agrimony says, "I'll post a log of the forum in the combat folder for anyone who came in late and needs to catch up." >Melatha says, "45 seconds on average, given the damage you do" Molecule beams at Agrimony! >Liye smiles at Agrimony. >Kalipso nods. Melatha says, "that can be 20 seconds or 90 seconds depending on luck" >Molecule offers Zanzibar a vile jagged-edged black iron longsword with dark black opal inlaid in the hilt. >Molecule mutters something under his breath. >Zanzibar accepts Molecule's iron longsword. >Kalipso says, "so it can be shorter if there are more than one." >Melatha says, "absolutely" >Zanzibar offers Molecule a vile jagged-edged black iron longsword with dark black opal inlaid in the hilt. >Kalipso nods to Melatha. >Molecule accepts Zanzibar's iron longsword. >Kalipso says, "thanks." >Ruffling its feathers, a resplendent green parrot sings a few twittering notes on Raekel's shoulder before falling silent. >Melatha says, "settle folks" >Melatha grins. >Melatha says, "I know it's a lot to take in" >Merlun shakes his head. >Molecule sighs. >Melatha says, "using measure, you can find the weapon that works best for you. That's why it's there" >Melatha asks, "ok, who was next?" >Agrimony raises her hand. >Bontinor points at Agrimony. >Melatha points at Agrimony. >Tkeeri nods to Bontinor. >Agrimony asks, "Everyone is dying to know so I'll bite....and ask. How will this new combat and battlecraft work in conjunction with poisons, alchemy combat enhancements such as barkskin? Will the cries of foul play because alchemists are overpowered be stifled? If so, how, by alchemy being downtweaked or by the rest of combat being uptweaked to be equal to alchemy?" >Darkstorm asks, "doesnt Daerio have 1 of those?" >A cloud of golden sparks suddenly appears in the air, forming the outline of a female Human before resolving into Astraea herself. >Melatha says, "breath" >Bontinor says, "And impatient, too." >Melatha nods to Agrimony. >Demitria nods to Seni. >Melatha says, "Yes, there will be cries of foul play" >Molecule puts a vile jagged-edged black iron longsword with dark black opal inlaid in the hilt in a white sheath. >Molecule removes an iron sardonyx-inlaid greatsword from his velvet sack. >Melatha says, "There will be imballances" >Molecule sighs. >Darkstorm grins at Molecule. >Molecule puts an iron sardonyx-inlaid greatsword in a large white velvet sack. >Melatha says, "We will fix them tho" >Darkstorm puts an iron sardonyx-inlaid greatsword in a ruby-dusted black cloak. >Molecule removes a grain engraved silver flail from his velvet sack. >Melatha grins at Agrimony. >Molecule lets out a miserable sigh. >Mathuna says, "some of them are already being worked on." >Molecule puts a grain engraved silver flail in a large white velvet sack. >A cloud of golden sparks suddenly appears in the air, forming the outline of a male Giant before resolving into Wanderstar himself. >Melatha says, "I can't say how they will be fixed yet, but everything is being brought in line" >Gloomthryn gasps at Agrimony! >Mathuna says, "later tonight 3 of the spells will use the new combat engine, 2 of them still need damage tweaked for it." >Wanderstar says, "I can FIX you." Gloomthryn says, "you summoned him" >Agrimony asks, "so will poisons and barkskin affect how new combat works?" >Zanzibar nods. >Mathuna says, "Wanderstar is getting wands onto the combat engine also." >Tkeeri grins at Wanderstar. >Melatha says, "define affect" >Melatha grins. >Tkeeri says, "I'd hate to see how you fix them though" >Gloomthryn babbles something about Wanderstar. Tkeeri winks at Wanderstar. >Liye says, "I'm terribly afraid with this many gm's in one place" >Mathuna says, "the skin formulas still don't work right." >Arythe giggles at Liye. >Deryni nods to Liye. >Melatha says, "They are skills and do things, so yes, they will have effects" >Agrimony asks, "I guess, what I'm asking is if I measure my weapon without being juiced and then drink a bunch of draughts and measure it again, will the numbers change?" >Zanzibar nods to Llorien. >Melatha says, "if the draughts work, yes" >Zanzibar raises his hand. >Mathuna says, "it uses your skills and the draughts modify your skills, so yes." >Melatha says, "if the draught works, and the numbers don't change, bug it" >Agrimony nods. >Agrimony says, "good, thanks." >Molecule asks, "Uh, was the hole point of new combat to make everyone exactly alike?" >Zanzibar raises his hand. >Molecule blinks. >Melatha exclaims, "Zanz!" >Agrimony says, "I always liked the old combat. Good to see alchemy returning to it." >Molecule snorts. >Zanzibar says, "thanks" >Bontinor says, "I think Zacc was next." >Melatha says, "ahh" >Melatha says, "Zacc" >Zanzibar says, "ok" >Zanzibar pokes Darkstorm in the ribs. >Melatha says, "sorry, I type slow, so am getting help tracking who's nexr, please have patience" >Zanzibar says, "no problem Melatha" >Zacc says, "Ugh, nevermind. I'll ask on the boards" >Melatha says, "Thankee" >Melatha says, "Go ahead" >Melatha grins at Zacc. >Wanderstar says, "Do not fear its not as if I have made any unbalanced horribly overpowered systems yet..." >Melatha says, "This forum is fer you players, not me, ask away" >Wanderstar hums! >Gloomthryn chuckles at Wanderstar. >Molecule chuckles at Wanderstar. >Windel says, "yet" >Melatha says, "I'm just keepin it civil" >Arythe snickers at Wanderstar. >Skorche raises his hand. >Merlun frowns. >Cirena raises her hand. >Zanzibar whispers to himself. >Melatha asks, "You typin Zacc?" >Melatha grins. >Darkstorm mumbles something under his breath. >Liye asks, "Someone types slower then Melatha?" >Darkstorm mumbles to himself. >Liye says, "I'm shocked" >Melatha laughs at Liye. >Molecule chuckles at Liye. >Zacc asks, "Doesn't 45 seem a bit too long for some professions? I'm an alchemist, and it's very hard for me to deal with groups of critters. Now if I'm battling something for 30 and another wanders in, then that's another 45. After 30 more, another could wander in. This means trouble to me. Is there going to be tweaks to make certain professions actually stand a chance?" >Melatha says, "It makes me feel good, I like him already" >Melatha nods. Molecule nods to Zacc. >Molecule exclaims, "Exactly!" >Darkstorm mumbles something under his breath. Melatha says, "45 is base for weapons combat alone" >Molecule mutters Swarms and we are dead. >Molecule whistles tunelessly to himself. >Tkeeri glances at Wanderstar. Melatha says, "use your alchemy skills to shorten that time" >Agrimony says, "it sounds like it will take more then one swig of draught to fill our heads with learning" >Zacc asks, "Skills? Explosives?" >Astraea says, "well rember that the critters are not going to be whacking you dead in 2 hits either. " >Darkstorm says, "rogues cant use their skills to shorten that time." >Arythe strokes the back of Merlun's neck. >Molecule mutters something under his breath. >Zacc says, "I'd need ten large containers to carry that many powders" >Melatha says, "draughts, mombs, wands, you name it" >Stardust says, "Thank the gods for that" >Melatha says, "bombs that is" >Deryni grins at Arythe. >Zacc says, "At younger levels draughts are a problem to obtain" >Gloomthryn licks Skkyler on the side of the nose. >Arythe says, "was just gonna wonder what mombs were" >Skkyler blinks. >Darkstorm says, "I love mombs." >Skkyler gives Gloomthryn a little prod between the shoulder blades. >Arythe gives a quick, lopsided grin. >Darkstorm says, "they are so cool" Melatha says, "Huntin at younger levels has been made easier" >Skkyler leans on Gloomthryn. Zanzibar whispers to himself. >Wanderstar says, "With one alchemy tool alone yes you might die horribly mutilated and all that... but you dont have just one tool." >Deryni pokes Arythe in the ribs. Arythe babbles something about Wanderstar. >Bontinor grins at Wanderstar. >Zacc glances at a heavy bronze dragon's breath warhand. >Darkstorm blinks at Wanderstar. >Melatha nods to Astraea. >Zacc says, "This seems to hit me more than the critters do" >Arythe says, "horribly mutilated sounds... Rather mutilated." >Liye asks, "Dont you guys do that to us for fun?" >Gerett says, "So now you may have to use bombs, war thingeys, wands, vines AND bees." >Gerett nods. >Mathuna says, "there are reasons for things like the smoke vials." >Mathuna grins at Zacc. >Gerett says, "And draughts and potions." >Gerett nods. >Wanderstar says, "Yes we do" >Mathuna says, "its just been a long time since they where needed." >Tkeeri grins at Wanderstar. >Liye winks at Wanderstar. >Melatha says, "Combat is a base system. Your profession will fill the gaps to make it easier or harder" Gerett plops his feet around on the ground. >Gloomthryn says, "and there you named just about everything usefull Gerett" >Mathuna says, "something to stun your opponant is good too." >Gerett says, "I have a sword." >Gerett nods to Gloomthryn. >Merlun shakes his head. >Gerett says, "I summed it up for me in four words." >Darkstorm mumbles incoherently at Gerett. >Gerett says, "Beat that." >Gerett smirks at Gloomthryn. >Liye grins at Gerett. >Gloomthryn says, "in alchemy as it currently satnds" >Stardust says, "We need to try out the new system before we panic" >Melatha asks, "ok, did that answer that?" >Darkstorm says, "Me have sword." >Darkstorm grins at Gerett. >Melatha says, "settle folks" Liye says, "I agree with him for once" >Melatha says, "slow typer" >Melatha grins. >Zacc says, "Also, I was just out shooting rocks at critters. Even though my stance was set to -25, the critter still advanced toward me. It'd be nice to actually avoid the critters. Would make ranged weapon using alot easier" >Zacc frowns. >Melatha says, "advancing they can do, just leaping is harder" >Melatha nods to Zacc. >Zacc gazes upward. >Darkstorm mumbles something under his breath. >Melatha says, "we want you to be able to be angaged, otherwise there's no danger" >Melatha says, "engaged that is" >Astraea says, "Alright. Rember that we know there are adjustments that need to be made. The game masters will be listening to your input... they will watch you fight and see how its going. I personally already think we need a uptweak of sorts... but theres not quite enough data for that yet either." >Zacc says, "Give critters ranged weapons, powders, etc." Darkstorm says, "Bonitinor, 'Me sworded'. 2 Words.. but shorter" >Melatha says, "Again, if it needs tweaking, it will be done" >Darkstorm grins at Bontinor. >Stardust asks, "Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having ranged weapons then?" >Melatha says, "raise yer hand Stardust" >Melatha grins. >Astraea says, "Zacc that is a plot infor the future." >Stardust raises her hand. >Melatha says, "Zanz" >Stardust says, "Sorry" >Zacc says, "Ranged weapons are "ranged" weapons" >Melatha grins at Stardust. >Darkstorm grins at Bontinor. >Zanzibar says, "it seems like weapon skill/damage is based on the skill again? seems that way based on damage I can do when I measure my two vs one hand damage..." >Melatha nods to Zanzibar. >Zanzibar says, "good" >Zanzibar says, "thanks" >Melatha says, "It is NOT based on your THT" >Darkstorm asks, "THT?" >Zanzibar nods to Melatha. >Liye says, "To hit" >Melatha says, "to hit" >Arythe says, "to hit." >Liye grins at Melatha. >Astraea says, "mmm" >Zanzibar says, "no..just the damage I do with one vs two" >Beldin says, "THAC0, if we're old school." >Beldin snickers. >Astraea says, "We need something to see thst stance on players." >Astraea tickles Melatha. >Zanzibar chuckles at Beldin. >Liye groans at Beldin. Darkstorm asks, "Taco?" Llorien pokes Beldin in the ribs. >Melatha nods to Astraea. >Vatholian grins at Beldin. >Arythe chortles at Beldin. >Darkstorm peers quizzically at Beldin. >Melatha says, "Someone post that idea" >Melatha says, "please" >Melatha grins. >Astraea says, "Whats the verb for turning on avoid." >Astraea asks, "?" >Beldin says, "Avoid." >Zanzibar says, "retreat" >Melatha says, "use stance to set your avoid" >Astraea asks, "?" >Zacc says, "I still don't understand that" >Stardust sighs. >Zacc frowns. >Melatha says, "any negative numbered stance makes you incrimentally harder to leap at" Beldin gawks at Liye. >Astraea says, "ok." >Seni grins at Dum. >Astraea nods. >Merlun shakes his head. >Zanzibar looks at Llorien and shrugs. >Astraea says, "I comprehend now." >Zanzibar nods to Llorien. >You hear the voice of Caydence say, "neither do most of us Zacc. We won't til we get out and experiment." >Melatha asks, "ok, who was next?" >Zanzibar says, "yeah, we need to try this" >Zacc says, "I've already experimented a bit" >Liye raises her hand. >Arythe raises her hand. >Melatha says, "Once more... if combat sucks... tell me why, and I'll fix it" >Melatha grins. >Hellena grins at Melatha. >Gerett sucks in a deep breath. >Melatha says, "Post it on the boards" >Gerett snaps his fingers. >Zacc frowns. >Zanzibar nods to Llorien. >Melatha grins. >Liye asks, "We done talking now? We play?" Darkstorm grins at Liye. >Melatha says, "we had another question" >Melatha peers quizzically at Bontinor. >Liye snaps her fingers. >Darkstorm exclaims, "gah!" >Zanzibar nods to Raekel. >Bontinor nods. >Darkstorm says, "I dont feel my brain anymore.." >Bontinor says, "Skorche was next." Announcement: Be aware both helices and warstaves have been changed. You will need to load more goldwater into a helix for the full changes to take place. Enjoy. >Liye coughs. >Liye says, "Helixes" >Arythe claps her hands. >Wanderstar says, "whatever" >Merlun shakes his head. >Wanderstar babbles incoherently. >Beldin says, "When you're a GM, you can call it what you want." >Merlun frowns. >Melatha says, "Once we leave, I will get a shop out for Battlecraft manuals, and let warriors start playin" >Deryni giggles. >Cazzi just arrived. >Liye says, "Habit.." >Liye says, "Cant help it" >Liye beams at Melatha! >Wanderstar says, "thats it from now on all my stuff is thingies" >Darkstorm asks, "wheres the shop?" >Gerett raises his hand. >Melatha exclaims, "Skorch!" >Merlun just left. Arythe giggles at Wanderstar. >Melatha grins. >Arythe blinks. >Stardust asks, "Another professions can't come?" >Arythe gazes around at her surroundings. >Hellena chuckles at Wanderstar. >Tkeeri exclaims, "gads Melatha, keep the lungs for OUTSIDE!" >Melatha says, "The shop does not exist yet" >Tkeeri says, "I only have one good ear to start with." >Darkstorm blinks at Tkeeri. >Melatha says, "I will announce when it is ready" >Liye raises her hand. >Melatha points at Skorche. >Stardust asks, "Tonight?" >Melatha nods to Stardust. >Liye says, "Before or after midnight? some of us need sleep" >Hellena stands up. >Skorche says, "uggh! sorry." >Melatha grins at Skorche. >Skorche says, "I'm completely lost..cause I came late." >Skkyler leans on Gloomthryn. >Melatha says, "Welcome back " >Skorche asks, "But metals?" >Darkstorm says, "I am the Dancing Queen." >Stardust asks, "Yes soon, sooner, soonish?" >Melatha says, "In more ways than one" >Melatha grins. >Skorche asks, "What effect do different metals have?" >Zanzibar nods to Raekel. >Skorche says, "sorry if you answered this already." >Lifting its beak, a resplendent green parrot whistles a few soft, twittering notes before falling silent. >Melatha says, "Metals effect the amount of damage a weapon or piece of armor can take before it starts to lose effectiveness. It also effects damage" >Llorien raises her hand. >Skorche nods. >Darkstorm says, "we need titanium weapons and armor." >Darkstorm sighs. >Windel raises his hand. >Windel grins. Liye snorts at Darkstorm. >Skorche says, "And polearms...I think my silver halaberd is probably one." Bontinor says, "They will also have certain other effects which haven't been defined yet." >Liye says, "Doesnt exist yet cant use it" >Seni smiles at Llorien. >Beldin says, "Actually, if the iron isn't highly purified, which is appropriate for this era, there are trace quantities of titanium in all earth." >Melatha says, "Exactly as Bontinor said" Berserker Destrution just arrived. >Beldin says, "As well as samarium and thorium and..." >Destrution sits down next to Arythe. >Windel chuckles at Beldin. >Melatha says, "This is the pre-reallocation version" Arythe snuggles up close to Destrution. >Arythe snickers at Beldin. >Bontinor nods to Melatha. >Skorche asks, "Will my two-handed weapon skill still work with my polearm?" >Melatha says, "We needed this live to debug, tweak, and fix other systems" >Darkstorm says, "I saw a GM using a titanium axe once." >Darkstorm says, "They did like 3826409 damage to a cobra.." >Darkstorm blinks. >Wanderstar says, "GMs cheat." >Liye nods. >Zanzibar chuckles at Wanderstar. >Liye says, "And kill players" >Liye says, "Alot" Bontinor nods. >Arythe snickers at Wanderstar. >Melatha asks, "ok, who was next?" >Jubalee removes a long bright red party streamer from her sapphire blue satchel. >Gerett points at Liye. >Bontinor says, "Cirena was waiting in the wings." >Gerett points at himself. >Gerett points at Llorien. >Tkeeri nods to Bontinor. >Melatha points at Cirena. >Cirena says, "You said we can measure to judge our abilities with said weapon, I train in one-handed will my measure show me the same numbers, etc. for each one-handed weapon or will they be different for each? Also...." >Melatha says, "different for every weapon" >Cirena asks, "Will spears stay one-handed, two-handed or just polearm?" >Melatha says, "given the weapon is different that is" >Tkeeri mutters at least she breathed between them. >Dum removes a quality carving knife from his backpack. >Stardust removes a stag-hilted silver shortsword from her leather sheath. >Arythe giggles at Tkeeri.
