Quantum says, "Okay, I think it's about time, let get's started."
>Smith Steelfire just arrived.
>Quantum says, "I'll start out with a few opening remarks."
>Steelfire asks, "what's I midd?"
>Quantum says, "Then I'll open it up for questions."
>Quantum smiles.
>Quantum says, "I realize it's been a rather dry 2 years for warriors."
>Quantum says, "Not much new and exciting happening."
>Quantum says, "I aim to fix that."
>Quantum says, "But it's not an overnite process, and I'll have to do it one step at a time."
>Sid carefully rearranges the glasses behind the bar.
Quantum grins.
>Quantum says, "My current project is weapon bonding."
Quantum says, "I believe it was on the boards originally as "longsword love" "
>Quantum snickers.
>Katie grins.
>Llorien grins.
>Quantum says, "Which is a great name that I just couldn't quite use."
Angelia giggles at Quantum.
>Llorien pokes Mox in the ribs.
>Mox grins.
>Sage Goldenmane just arrived.
>Goldenmane sits down.
>Llorien says, "We know who has that."
>The white glow fades from around Goldenmane.
>Llorien winks at Mox.
>Maker peers out.
>Quantum says, "After that, I'm going to try and make some more headway on adrenals."
>Foot Soldier Malicebane just arrived.
>Llorien gasps at Quantum!
>Quantum says, "That's a bigger project, and more dependant on combat."
>Quantum says, "So harder to do."
Llorien says, "Words I'd never thought I'd hear, adrenals."
>Beldin just arrived.
>Quantum says, "So I am taking adrenal suggestions tonite."
>Beldin mutters something under his breath.
>smile lloYou smile at Llorien.
>Llorien grins.
Beldin folds his arms across his chest.
>Katie hugs Beldin.
>Llorien hugs Beldin.
>Quantum says, "Just so you know where I'm coming from, here's my current ideas on the weapon bonding."
>Beldin kisses Llorien on the hand.
>The faint glow leaves Goldenmane's hands.
>Quantum says, "It's going to require you to balance a weapon a certain number of times first."
>Beldin kisses Bowhuntress on the cheek.
>Quantum says, "Can't bond a weapon you don't know well."
>Angelia nods to Quantum.
Cydara smiles at Beldin.
>Quantum says, "After that, you can bond it."
>Cydara tilts her head toward Beldin.
>Quantum says, "A bonded weapon will not be poisonable or spellable."
>Quantum says, "But it will be balanceable."
>Beldin bows to Cydara.
>Vaftel just arrived.
>Vaftel settles down onto an overstuffed cushion.
>Quantum says, "And it should be an extra special nice balance."
>Quantum grins.
>Katie snuggles up close to Vaftel laying her head on his shoulder.
>Angelia raises an eyebrow in Quantum's direction.
>Quantum says, "Though I won't disclose the details on that right now."
>Llorien whimpers pitifully like a lost puppy.
>Angelia snaps her fingers.
Goldenmane comes out of hiding.
>Llorien says, "Balanceable is good."
>Llorien says, "We like that."
>Seni just arrived.
>Kamartin just arrived.
>Quantum says, "Okay, if you have a question raise your hand, and I'll call on you in order."
>Llorien says, "I think."
>Katie raises her hand.
>Malicebane sits down.
>Cindi raises her hand.
>Quantum asks, "Katie first, Cindi second, anyone else want to get in line?"
>Quantum grins.
>Epoclaen raises his hand.
>Llorien raises her hand.
Angelia says, "Not yet"
>Angelia grins at Quantum.
>Katie says, "I'm smooshing two questions together"
>Katie winks at Quantum.
>Leanna says, "I prolly will want to later."
>Leanna grins.
>Lejessa just arrived.
>Quantum says, "Okay, I've got 4 people in line."
>Fighter Graeyson just went out.
>Lejessa sits down next to Malicebane.
>Quantum says, "Once those are done, I'll give people a chance to raise their hands again."
>Leanna says, "Gotta hear some answers first."
>Leanna hums!
>Quantum says, "Katie, you have the floor."
>Quantum grins.
>Katie grins.
>Claudine just left.
Claudine just arrived.
>Cydara peers out.
>Lamira comes out of hiding.
>Lamira sits down on a polished oak chair.
>Katie says, "I just have to ask because I'm me. Once you've gotten all these things you have planned in the works will you PLEASE consider taming animals? Not all of us like to power hunt and would like something to do in the meantime."
>Neophyte Gloomthryn just arrived.
>Gloomthryn sits down next to you.
>Beldin mutters something under his breath.
>Quantum says, "I most certainly will consider it."
>Quantum says, "I actually think it's a neato keen idea."
>Quantum grins.
>Angelia smiles at Quantum.
>Katie beams at Quantum!
>Katie says, "Oh phew"
>chucYou chuckle.
>Quantum says, "It's just not a core ability."
>Katie says, "I thought you meant on the boards it was a no no."
>Quantum says, "And I NEED to do those first."
>Katie nods to Quantum.
Beldin smirks.
>The heavy beat of the music rises for a few moments, then subsides back into the background.
>Katie says, "Understandable."
>Quantum says, "things like adrenals."
>Katie raises a creamy strawberry malt towards Quantum in a toast!
>Cydara just went out.
>Quantum says, "So I can't add it to my project list right now, not in good faith."
>Katie nods to Quantum.
>Katie tilts her thumbs up.
>Quantum says, "But I would like to later."
>The aura of flame surrounding Goldenmane fades away.
Katie says, "You have me sated."
>Llorien pokes Ogdem in the ribs.
>Katie grins at Quantum.
Angelia gasps at Katie!
>Angelia giggles.
>Angelia gazes at Quantum in awe.
>Angelia says, "You are truly a god"
>Quantum asks, "Anything else Katie?"
>Quantum grins.
>Angelia chuckles.
>Kisha grins at Angelia.
>Katie says, "Nope. I decided against my 2nd question. It will be answered later anyway"
>Katie grins at Quantum.
>Quantum nods.
>Angelia smiles at Kisha.
>Quantum exclaims, "That means it's Cindi's turn!"
>Cindi asks, "Will a bond be infinite? Transferable? Will you have to balance it still once it is bonded, or does the bond keep it balanced?"
>grin cinYou grin at Cindi.
>Quantum grins.
>Quantum exclaims, "Good questions!"
>Lamira says, "That's what I thought"
>Lamira grins at Cindi.
>Quantum says, "Here's my current answers. These are fairly firm, but not quite set in stone."
>Quantum says, "A bond will be infinite."
>Llorien whispers, "::hugs::"
>Quantum says, "You won't have to do anything to maintain it."
>Cindi asks, "What if you sell the weapon?"
>Quantum says, "Once a weapon is bonded, you will still have to balance it."
>Llorien whispers, "hate to interrupt this too much."
>Quantum says, "A bonded weapon confers no bonus unless balanced."
>Quantum says, "It'"
>Quantum says, "It's just that you can balance it REALLY well."
>whisp llo nod, cindi told me to join upYou whisper to Llorien, "nod, cindi told me to join up"
>Cindi nods.
>Quantum says, "The bond will be breakable."
>Angelia grins at Quantum.
>Cindi nods.
>Llorien whispers, "cool."
>Quantum says, "And it won't be pretty."
>Quantum shudders.
>The blood slowly drains from Llorien's face.
>Katie snuggles up close to Leanna.
>Quantum says, "There will be a penalty for this, but it's doable."
>Cindi gets an odd expression on her face.
>Cindi nods.
>Timutheus leans back.
>Angelia nods to Quantum.
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Cindi asks, "Can you bond to more than one weapon?"
>Quantum says, "No."
>Cindi asks, "For us who fight with two?"
>Cindi nods.
>Maker removes a grain engraved silver flail from his backpack.
Quantum says, "I did think about it . . ."
>Maker grins at a grain engraved silver flail.
>Quantum says, "But I decided it was easier with one."
>Angelia nods to Quantum.
>Maker snuggles his flail.
>Llorien chuckles.
>Quantum asks, "Did I cover it well enough Cindi?"
>Quantum smiles at Cindi.
>Cindi says, "I fight with two one-handeds. And use both equally and love both equally. Just to throw in my two cents."
>Cindi says, "Yep, got it all."
>Cindi says, "Done for me."
>Quantum nods to Cindi.
>Quantum says, "Okay, moving right along."
>Quantum says, "Llorien is next, then after that Epoclaen."
>Quantum asks, "Llorien?"
>Llorien says, "Epo first."
>Llorien says, "I think he was."
>Llorien smiles at Quantum.
>Bowhuntress nods to Llorien.
>Epoclaen says, "Llorien first, she's a warrior"
>Epoclaen grins at Llorien.
>Llorien grins.
>Llorien says, "Just on the balancing."
>Maker peers out.
>Quantum peers quizzically at Llorien.
>Llorien asks, "You're saying super balancing on weapon love?"
>Quantum says, "Yep."
>Llorien asks, "So does that have to wait until combat also?"
>Quantum says, "I'm thinking not."
>Llorien says, "Me too."
>Angelia gazes at Quantum and releases a long sigh of relief.
>Llorien winks at Quantum.
>Llorien laughs!
>Bowhuntress chuckles.
>Quantum says, "Right now, we have a "patch" on combat."
Llorien pokes Ogdem in the ribs.
>Quantum asks, "Remember when all of you suddenly got extra damage?"
>Llorien says, "Yes."
Llorien asks, "The damage we should have had all along you mean?"
>Llorien smiles sweetly.
>Quantum says, "That was necessary, because no warrior abilities had come along over time to put warrior damage where it should have been."
>Quantum says, "I'm trying to backfill, replace that patch with the abilities you SHOULD have had."
>A small gold charm on Llorien's chest slowly uncoils. It slithers across to curl tightly around her finger, where it goes still.
>Llorien asks, "So is there a time frame on super balancing and will there be something super super?"
>Llorien whistles skillfully to herself.
>Quantum says, "I'm afraid I can't answer time frame questions."
>Llorien says, "and I'm done with my question."
>Quantum nods to Llorien.
>Ruffling its feathers, a tiny brown sparrow sings a few twittering notes on Katie's shoulder before falling silent.
Llorien exclaims, "Okay, so I want more more more!"
>Llorien ducks her head.
>Quantum says, "Okay, then next up is Epoc."
>Epoclaen asks, "I was curious as to your thoughts on how you intend to "shape" the warrior profession. Do you see a need for more non-combat skills? More combat skills? And will these ideas mean changing the current skill bonuses per training and/or the training costs at all?"
>Quantum draws attention to Epoclaen.
>A young artist stands in awe before the memorabilia wall, sketching a quick copy of the handprints.
>Quantum says, "As I've already stated, my current and pressing need is to backfill certain core profession abilities."
Quantum says, "Things that should have been there and weren't."
>Epoclaen says, "So more combat things."
>Quantum says, "Pretty much 100% combat things."
Maker throws back his head and howls.
>Angelia sighs.
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Epoclaen ponders.
Quantum says, "I do realize that warriors need noncombative things too."
>Maker blushes a bright red color.
>Epoclaen nods to Quantum.
Cindi whispers to the group, "On a short estimate."
>Kisha wiggles her fingers.
>Quantum says, "I'm focusing my efforts on things I can do *now* as best I can."
>Timutheus rummages around in his pockets.
>Quantum says, "Because I know you hate hearing "I have to wait for combat""
>Gerett chuckles.
>Pamico raises her hand.
Cindi whispers to the group, "Ok"
>Quantum says, "Right now, I'm doing combat."
>Ogdem raises his hand.
>Quantum says, "err, I goofed that up"
>Quantum says, "Right now, I'm doing combat things."
>Quantum grins.
>Epoclaen says, "I was thinking about things that really show a person to be a warrior I guess... more of things that are blatantly seen in public places like balancing."
Angelia nods to Epoclaen.
>Quantum says, "But I do realize the need to for noncombat stuff."
>Quantum nods to Epoclaen.
>Claudine takes a drink from her pale golden beer.
>Quantum asks, "Did I cover that well enough?"
>Epoclaen says, "But I gotta agree, combat skills are a good thing to make higher priority."
>Timutheus hands Sid some coins.
Sid rummages beneath the counter for a moment then passes Timutheus a mug of pale golden beer and says, "There you go, drink in good health!"
>Epoclaen says, "Yep, that's it then."
>Quantum grins.
>Epoclaen smiles at Quantum.
>Seni just went out.
>Quantum says, "Okay, hand raising time again if you want to ask a question."
>raise handYou raise your hand.
>Timutheus takes a drink from his pale golden beer.
>Leanna raises her hand.
>Ogdem raises his hand.
>Quantum says, "Fiannah, then Leanna, then Ogdem."
>Quantum asks, "Anyone else want to jump in on this round?"
>Quantum grins.
>Timutheus takes a drink from his pale golden beer.
>Quantum says, "Okay, Fiannah, you have the floor."
>Pamico just left.
>Ogdem puts an eagle-hilted sardonyx inlaid silver longsword in a large dark doeskin backpack.
>standYou stand up.
>'what are some of your thoughts on Adrenal, and what can be done with them?You ask, "what are some of your thoughts on Adrenal, and what can be done with them?"
Pamico just arrived.
>Pamico raises her hand.
>Quantum says, "I have lots of thoughts on that."
>Angelia rubs Pamico gently.
>Pamico grumbles.
>Quantum grins.
Ogdem whispers to the group, "not as of yet"
>'care to share any?>You say, "care to share any?>"
>Quantum says, "Yep."
>smile quaYou smile at Quantum.
>Quantum says, "Oh and I added Pamico to the list."
>Quantum winks at Pamico.
>Llorien rubs Pamico gently.
>Quantum says, "Anyhoo, adrenals . . ."
>sit lloYou sit down next to Llorien.
>Quantum says, "First off, this will of course be based on adrenal skill."
>Quantum says, "Obvious point first."
>chuckle quaYou chuckle at Quantum.
>Demitria just arrived.
>Demitria shudders in pain.
>Quantum says, "The first step of adrenals will be an adrenal healing ability I do believe."
>Demitria waves.
Demitria shudders in pain.
>Kisha gazes at Demitria in concern.
Llorien flails her arms about.
>Quantum says, "In response to a point earlier about elixirs, the warrior need for them will probably wane."
>Quantum grins.
>Llorien nods to you.
>Demitria shudders in pain.
Angelia tilts her head toward Quantum.
>Demitria says, "noxious cloud"
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Sid taps his fingers to the beat of the background music.
>Timutheus takes a drink from his pale golden beer.
>Demitria sits down.
>Steelfire carefully examines Demitria with an eye of scrutiny.
>Demitria shudders in pain.
>Quantum says, "I should add that I'm not going to bias adrenals towards warriors, except in the sense that warriors get more skill."
>Quantum says, "So this will probably be a bonus for rogues as well."
>Lamira grins.
>Demitria shudders in pain.
>Bowhuntress smiles.
>Demitria removes a honey-ginseng elixir from her faded canvas satchel.
>Quantum says, "Adrenals (any adrenals) will probably have the following qualities."
>Demitria shudders in pain.
>Quantum says, "And keep in mind none of this done yet, so it's all still open to debate."
>Quantum grins.
>Demitria shudders in pain.
>Demitria puts a honey-ginseng elixir in a patched faded canvas satchel.
>Quantum says, "I'm thinking that any use of an adrenal ability will have a small chance of failing, and making you, well, berserk or something like it."
>Llorien giggles.
>Quantum says, "An unpleasant effect."
>Quantum grins.
>Demitria shudders in pain.
>Angelia asks, "What's that?"
>Angelia tilts her head toward Quantum.
>Llorien asks, "berserk?"
>Bowhuntress says, "nutso"
>Lamira says, "crazy"
>Quantum says, "I'm not sure berserk is the best word."
>'thats kind of what i was thinking about, beserkingDemitria shudders in pain.
>You say, "thats kind of what i was thinking about, beserking"
>Llorien asks, "Like how though?"
>Quantum says, "Nutso is good."
>Llorien pokes Bowhuntress in the ribs.
>Timutheus says, "no control of your actions"
>Katie grins.
>Lamira says, "arund the ben"
>Angelia says, "As he is describing it"
>Quantum makes a shushing noise.
>Quantum grins.
>Demitria shudders in pain.
>Angelia gazes at Quantum.
>Quantum says, "I'm also thinking that for game balance purposes, it will be impossible to use spells or draughts in combination with adrenals."
>Kisha styles her long, wavy golden hair into a coiled braid.
>Demitria shudders in pain.
>Bowhuntress says, "ewwww"
Katie beams at Quantum!
>Llorien blinks.
>Quantum says, "I realize this means I have to make adrenals good enough so that you don't all just ignore them and use webs instead."
>Quantum grins.
>Maker claps his hands at Quantum.
>Gerett chuckles.
>Demitria exhales slowly.
>Angelia nods to Quantum.
>Quantum says, "So I have motivation to make it neat."
>Timutheus raises a mug of pale golden beer in a toast!
Kelila just arrived.
>Demitria hands Sid some coins.
Sid rummages beneath the counter for a moment then passes Demitria a creamy strawberry malt and says, "There you go, drink in good health!"
>Timutheus takes a drink from his pale golden beer.
>Stardust hugs Kelila.
>Astraea says, "Well WEbs will also change at some point in time."
>Angelia blinks at Astraea.
>Llorien blinks.
>Leanna babbles incoherently.
Katie babbles something about Astraea.
smile astr>You smile at Astraea.
>Quantum says, "In terms of usage, you will probably have be able to use adrenal skills a certain amount of times based on your adrenal skill."
>Llorien waves at Astraea.
>Quantum pokes Astraea in the ribs.
Angelia chuckles.
>Leanna exclaims, "Gah! Rogueish types!"
>Leanna flails her arms about.
>Quantum says, "Stage stealer."
>Pamico says, "They were supposed to with new combat"
Pamico nods to Astraea.
>Quantum makes a shushing noise.
>Astraea nods to Pamico.
>Maker mutters something like just get rid of them period
>glance leaYou glance at Leanna.
>Kelila just left.
>Angelia nods to Maker.
>Quantum says, "Adrenals will not be a constant-use thing probably."
>Quantum says, "More of a "get me out of a tight corner" effect."
>Leanna beams at Quantum!
>Quantum says, "Due to the long recharge times."
>nod quaYou nod to Quantum.
>Quantum says, "But I plan to make them as dang skippy cool as I can get away with."
>Katie grins at Quantum.
>Kisha grins at Quantum.
>chuckle quaYou chuckle at Quantum.
Quantum says, "Okay, that was my babbling on adrenals."
>Ogdem asks, "so how do adrenals immobilize critters?"
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Quantum asks, "Anything else Fiannah?"
>Ogdem scratches his head.
>'no i think that was itYou say, "no i think that was it"
>Quantum nods.
>smile quaYou smile at Quantum.
>'thank youMaker grins at Ogdem.
>You say, "thank you"
>Astraea asks, "Why should you want to imobilize creatures?"
>Quantum says, "We can come back to adrenals on a later question."
>Angelia shrugs.
>Bowhuntress says, "nets and webs"
>Bowhuntress smiles at Astraea.
>Ogdem says, "so they can't get away"
>Timutheus shifts his weight.
>Ogdem rubs his hands together.
>Quantum says, "I want to give everyone a chance to ask what's near and dear their heart."
Bowhuntress says, "we do it all the time"
>Llorien says, "Webs do. if we give up webs for adrenals."
>Maker says, "orange red poison"
>Llorien says, "Then what point are adrenals if we can't immobilize."
>Gerett ponders.
>Angelia says, "Some of us don't use webs at all."
>Kisha says, "Tripwires."
>Llorien says, "Sorry I balance."
>Llorien says, "I can't use traps."
>Ogdem says, "can't poison, weapons bonded"
>Katie nods to Angelia.
>Quantum nods to Ogdem.
>Bowhuntress says, "didn't say you did"
>Leanna says, "Not to mention, Warriors always look ridiculous using webs."
>Gerett says, "Some would rather not use anytihng but in their own skill"
>Maker says, "not all weapons will be bonded"
>Gerett looks at Llorien and shrugs.
>Angelia nods to Gerett.
>Katie says, "The point of adrenals is that you won't NEED help from another profession"
>Steelfire nods to Katie.
>Gerett says, "If you dont like adrenals cause that cant immobilize, dont use em"
>Heartsong asks, "Hopefully warriors will be strong enough that they don't have to immobilize things?"
>Llorien says, "I use webs though Katie."
>Lamira mutters well this went to Hades in a handbasket quick
>Maker says, "some people use both one handed weapons and two nahnded"
>Katie says, "Well now you can use adrenals"
>Katie grins at Llorien.
>Katie says, "Or webs"
>Katie says, "Your choice"
>Quantum says, "My hope is certainly to make enough core profession abilities that you won't need webs."
>Katie says, "One or the other"
>Leanna says, "What I think Quantum is hoping, is that you won't have to."
>Leanna nods to Llorien.
>Quantum says, "If you think my stuff stinks, just keep using webs."
>Llorien nods.
>Vaftel stands up.
>Vaftel just went out.
>Quantum says, "Andd that will provide me some motivation to do more work."
>Quantum winks.
>Llorien grins.
>Ogdem grins at Quantum.
>Maker says, "well im confused"
>Angelia says, "We can give you motivation to get busy"
>Kisha gazes at Quantum in wonder.
>Leanna says, "I, for one, am really appreciative for a chance to be pure warrior rather then a hybrid of other proffesions."
>Angelia nods to Quantum.
>Kisha sighs happily.
>Angelia cackles!
>Timutheus stands up.
>Quantum says, "I'm not going to take any options away from you, I just want to give you more options."

>Grindan mutters never happen
>Llorien coughs.
>Quantum says, "Mostly opposed."
>A small golden snake uncurls from about Llorien's finger and coils about her right wrist, where it goes still.
>Angelia looks at Quantum and sighs.
>Llorien removes her snake charm.
>Leanna asks, "Will you please explain why?"
>Leanna smiles at Quantum.
>Quantum says, "With a few exceptions."
>Llorien puts a snake charm in a white lionskin backpack embroidered on the back with a solitary black gryphon.
Leanna says, "Just so we can understand your angle on it."
>Quantum says, "For example, weapon bonding will probably be warrior only."
>Llorien beams!
>Katie beams at Quantum!
>Lamira snaps her fingers.
>Malicebane grins.
>Llorien lets out a howl for Quantum!
Kelila just arrived.
>Katie nods to Posidea.
>Quantum says, "But as a matter of philosophy, I do not want to make profession specific abilities."
>Kelila blinks.
>Kelila grins at Stardust.
>Quantum says, "That limits the game for everyone."
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Quantum says, "I have the opposite philosophy."
>Kelila shifts her weight around.
>Quantum says, "I'd like to see everyone able to do anything they are trained in."
>Llorien asks, "Open it all up?"
>Llorien gazes at Quantum through narrowed eyes and lets out a soft purr of contentment.
>Quantum says, "But that's a whole different topic that we won't get onto too much tonite."
>Steelfire settles down onto the floor.
>Quantum says, "Keep in mind I'm sharing only my own personal opinion on that one."
>Quantum says, "My philosophy."
>Vaftel just arrived.

>Quantum grins.
>Quantum says, "Ogdem, I believe you were next."
>Ogdem stands up.
>Ogdem bows to Quantum.
>Quantum bows to Ogdem.
>Heartsong just left.
Ogdem asks, "I've a couple on different topics acutally...1st, so everyone understands, adrenal healing is only one skill of many to be expected with adrenals correct?"
>A tiny brown sparrow lifts its head and nuzzles Katie's ear before warbling a heart-rending melody.
>Quantum says, "Yes."
>Quantum says, "Sorry if I didn't explain that well."
>Ogdem nods.
>Posidea hops up onto the counter and sits down.
>Quantum says, "Adrenal healing is the one I KNOW I can do now, it's not dependant on combat."
Ogdem asks, "ok, along the healing topic, what's the status on the warrior type bandages, and is it still coming?"
Quantum says, "That's a question for Nommo really, who couldn't make it tonite."
>Ogdem nods.
>Quantum says, "I know he's done some neat work with bandages."
>Trainee Bonk just arrived.

>Quantum says, "Best I can do for now on that topic."
>Ogdem says, "ok, and last question"
>Quantum nods to Ogdem.
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
Ogdem asks, "right now bashing damages weapons, can we expect any other damage type stuff before combat for us folks that know how to repair?"
>Quantum ponders.
Quantum says, "You know, I hadn't ever thought of that."
>Quantum exclaims, "What a good idea!"
>Llorien snickers.
>Ogdem says, "like armor"
>Grindan chuckles.
>Ogdem says, "and the other type weapons"
>Quantum says, "I'll damage your equipment as soon as I can."
>Quantum nods to Ogdem.
>Ogdem lets out a howl for Quantum!
>Gloomthryn chuckles.
>Bowhuntress laughs!
>Quantum rubs a huge waraxe.
>Astraea says, "Balancing failing ought to be able to damage things I suppose."
>Quantum winks at Ogdem.
>chuckle quaOgdem says, "oh"
>You chuckle at Quantum.
>Quantum nods to Astraea.
>Astraea furrows her brow.
>Quantum says, "That is a possibility."
>Bowhuntress says, "warriors look forward to the oddest things"
>Lejessa pouts.
>Llorien nods to Astraea.
>Quantum says, "Especially with the "super balancing" the will come in with bonding."
>Posidea looks over at Bowhuntress and shakes her head.
>Llorien chuckles.
>Gloomthryn nods.
>Ogdem asks, "in the past it was said that warriors with decent skills would be better then the reapir npc, that still going to hold true?"
Quantum says, "I realize that sounds like I'm being mean."
>Leanna nods to Quantum.
>Quantum says, "But keep in mind the basic logic of game design, if it's harder to do, it's generally a cooler effect."
>Quantum grins.
Quantum says, "GameMaster Bontinor is the designer of all things repairish."
>Ogdem asks, "and when can we expect the repair guy to finish finally moving in?"
>Quantum says, "So I honestly don't know off the top of my head."
>Ogdem nods.
>Quantum says, "Heh, that silly repair guy."
>Quantum says, "It should be awful soon I expepct."
>Quantum says, "err, expect."
>Llorien says, "We hear he's been ready to move in."
>Ogdem says, "he been lost tryin to find his tools"
>Ogdem chuckles.
>Kelila grins at Stardust.
>Llorien smiles at Quantum.
>Ogdem sits down next to Llorien.
>Quantum says, "As a matter of fact . . . "
>Leanna asks, "He's alive?"
>Leanna's jaw drops.
>Llorien nods to Leanna.
>Quantum waves his hands in a series of mystical gestures.
>Llorien grins.
>Quantum says, "He's there now."
Llorien exclaims, "He's there!"
>Llorien laughs!
>Ogdem lets out a howl for Quantum!
>Pamico chuckles at Quantum.
>Lejessa giggles.
>Gerett chuckles.
>Llorien beams at Quantum!
>Llorien lets out a howl for Quantum!
>Ogdem exclaims, "you rock!"
>Llorien says, "gotta love this warrior guru."
>Llorien grins at Quantum.
>Quantum asks, "Okay Ogdem, did I answer everything you had?"
A quick motion catches your attention, and you notice a small spider on the floor reared back in a defensive posture.
>Goldenmane picks up a small spider.
Goldenmane puts a small spider in a golden-edged midnight blue satchel.
>Astraea says, "Darn I was going to stomp that evil spider"
>Ogdem says, "I believe so, no more whispers coming in"
>Ogdem ducks his head.
>You hear someone chuckling.
>Quantum says, "Heh."
>Llorien grins at Ogdem.
>Quantum says, "That's one way to be a great public speaker."
>Quantum says, "Okay, after Ogdem is Pamico."
>Quantum smiles at Pamico.
>Pamico says, "Two questions actually What exactaly should warriors expect with the new combat system? Meaning what new things should they be looking for as a change from the current system that will aid them in the beginning of new combat besides the larger hit, because this is just an assumtion that your Adrenal ideas will not be implemented as of the time of new combat, And Second part of that question What exactally is your vison of a warrior I know you have asked all of us on the boards and given us your base Ideas but Has that changed with their input and would you please share your vision of what a base warrior is and does in your opinon."
>Katie falls over.
>Lamira says, "who said he was great"
>Grindan blinks.
>Maker blinks.
>Grindan rubs his eyes.
>Lamira ducks her head.
>Leanna says, "BREATHE."
>Angelia chuckles.
Pamico says, "I had time to think"
>Leanna stares at Pamico.
>Posidea chuckles.
>Llorien rubs Pamico gently.
>Angelia grins at Pamico.
>Pamico gets a silly grin on her face.
>Quantum makes a shushing noise.
>Leanna says, "In... Out... In... Out."
Quantum says, "Okay, that was a big old question."
>Beldin shrugs.
>Beldin kisses Bowhuntress on the cheek.
>Beldin just went out.
Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Quantum says, "As for the combat question, I'll have to refer that one to Astraea and Mathuna."
>Quantum says, "After they have pontificated, I'll touch on the last part."
>Quantum grins at Astraea.
>Quantum grins at Mathuna.
>Katie sits up.
Ogdem laughs!
>Grindan eyes up Quantum.
Mathuna says, "ok, Waldern's engagement system is part of it."
Maker peers out.
>Pamico asks, "The one that was discussed at con last year?"
>Mathuna says, "thats where you and the creature have four spaces around you. Front, right, left, and back."
>Mathuna nods to Pamico.
>Kelila just left.
>Pamico nods to Mathuna.
>Pamico says, "And ranged could hit you as well "
>Mathuna nods to Pamico.
Kelila just arrived.
>Astraea says, "Oh you want me to talk"
>Kelila blinks.
>Astraea laughs!
>Llorien nods to Astraea.
>Llorien grins.
>Claudine just left.
>Astraea says, "No mathuna? ahh ok woohoo."
>Mathuna says, "this is part I'm working on and I still refuse to give a date but its moving on."
Vaftel tickles Kelila.
Pamico says, "Now with that does that mean if we are in a party we have the option to choose our position within that "
>Kelila grins at Vaftel.
>Astraea says, "Well two big changes will be criticals that happen with stuns and knockdowns."
>Stardust grins at Kelila.
>Mathuna says, "simply because if I gave a date to you something would come up."
>Kelila takes a drink from her sweetheart punch.
>Mathuna mutters something under his breath.
>Ogdem lets out a hearty cheer for Astraea!
>Mathuna takes a drink from his Erin's Mist.
>Kelila offers Stardust a cup of sweetheart punch.
>Gloomthryn snorts.
>Astraea says, "Secondly will be enagement management.... being surrounded is going to be bad."
>Stardust declines Kelila's offer.
>Kelila nods.
Kelila takes a drink from her sweetheart punch.
>'make it hard to retreatYou say, "make it hard to retreat"
Ogdem asks, "is guarding going to be an option in the manouvering?"
>Fighter Graeyson just arrived.
>Astraea says, "Now I want to make it so you can drag each outher out of trouble... But Im not looking at death crits per say."
>Angelia nods to Astraea.
>Llorien exclaims, "Yeah!"
>Llorien exclaims, "Dragging!"
>Astraea says, "Wacking a critter a good one ought to knock that critter down and stun it long enough that you can get in anotehr whack..."
>Llorien says, "That's awesome Astraea."
>Pamico nods.
>Malicebane asks, "We gonna get to fight back to back to guard our rears?"
>Mathuna says, "leap save will be interesting."
>Llorien beams at Mathuna!
>Bowhuntress says, "eww"
>Mathuna says, "it will knock your target out of combat, and leave you where they where."
>Astraea says, "The idea is that I dont want you folks to be instantly dead... or the critters either. But getting knocked down might make you dead after a few more hits."
>Bowhuntress asks, "what about those of us with large rears?"
>Kelila giggles.
>Quantum glances at Bowhuntress.
>Malicebane grins.
Cindi says, "Great, Increase the suffering."
>Angelia nods to Astraea.
>Llorien nods to Astraea.
>Llorien says, "awesome."
>Astraea says, "The other thing that engagmenet plans on a front left right and back..."
>Angelia makes a shushing noise.
>Quantum says, "Combat needed an increase in suffering."
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Llorien asks, "Like balance maybe?"
>Astraea says, "WEll location of the opponent will give a penalty if its not in front of you..."
>Fioria just arrived.
>Pamico says, "What kind of penalty"
>Astraea says, "Then multiple opponents will have additional penaltys "
>Astraea says, "Well if its to your right it might be at -5 tohit and have a +5 on you."
>Pamico asks, "So does this mean the addition of a new skill of Multiple Opponents?"
>Sid reaches up and straightens the large portrait above the bar.
>Astraea says, "But then again the same will be true for yuo."
Maker says, "this is getting to complicating"
>Fioria just went out.
>Angelia smiles at Maker.
>Angelia nods.
>Astraea says, "But if you have two opponents there will be a penalty on you. three more so."
>Astraea says, "Swarms will should become a big time hurt zone."
>Gloomthryn asks, "will critters or rogues be able to sneak up behind you?"
>Grindan grins.
>Quantum says, "And of course vice versa applies. You take a bunch of friends hunting and pick off individual critters, it's easier."
Claudine just arrived.
>Astraea says, "Although we will taper back swarming as a result it could still happen."
>Mathuna grins at Gloomthryn.
>Pamico says, "So this will mean almost a penalty of 20 +"
>Claudine stands up.
>Claudine just went out.
>Llorien says, "ick."
>Cindi asks, "Will critters attack each other still, and give each other a disadvantage?"
>Ogdem says, "please don't take my swarms"
>Pamico says, "WIth a ranged weapon user shooting at you from outside melee"
>Ogdem shudders.
>Astraea says, "Critters should be able to do anything the players can in time. Its my plan to allow a backstab function."
>Posidea nods to Ogdem.
>Gloomthryn mutters nopt sure if i liked that grin
>Katie holds up one finger to her lips and makes a soft shushing noise.
>Grindan says, "its rare to find swarms anymore"
>Astraea says, "more intelligently in time cindi."
>Kelila says, "Is there a way we could like grab all their heads and butt them together? Like knock em out or somethin."
>Astraea says, "we want to if we can... make good and bad creatures."
>Mathuna says, "swarms will be much much more dangerous Ogdem."
>Quantum says, "Of course, such a system gives the poosibility of new moves."
>Cydara just arrived.
>Ogdem beams at Mathuna!
>Quantum says, "Like butting their head together, etc."
>Llorien giggles.
>Cindi grins.
>Ogdem says, "the way it shoulda always been"
>Ogdem grins at Mathuna.
>Mathuna nods.
>Kelila grins at Quantum.
>Quantum says, "Okay, I think we covered the combat part of the question."
>Astraea says, "So that if collin is at the gates with an army of warriors... you might meet him with the town gaurd... and the warriors and town guard will fight each other."
>Stardust grins at Kelila.
>Kelila grins at Stardust.
>Kelila nods.
>Llorien asks, "Wait, can Ogdem pick me up and swing me around, knocking critters down right and left?"
>Bowhuntress rubs her face.
>Ogdem tickles Llorien.
>Llorien grins.
>Angelia leans back.
>Angelia sighs.
>Maker says, "make this place too complicated.. will ruin it "
>Cindi looks over at Maker and shakes her head.
>Quantum says, "Okay, Pamico, in regards to the second part of your question."
>Astraea says, "Oh Im also putting in a stance verb."
>Pamico grins at Quantum.
>Quantum glances at Astraea.
>(Kelila is daydreaming...)
>Pamico glances at Astraea.
>Quantum says, "You have uncanny timing."
>Quantum grins at Astraea.
>Pamico asks, "Does that mean we are going to have that option put into the wizard as well?"
>Pamico smiles at Astraea.
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Quantum says, "Okay, Pamico, in regards to the second part of your question. No I never came up with a good answer on the role of warriors."
Astraea says, "So that you can set your tht... your defense will change accordingly... and will be somewhat profession dependent. ITs not meant as a stance dancing verb. Its meant for you to choose your riskreward factor."
>Quantum says, "It's a question I still ponder."
>Angelia raises her hand.
>Astraea says, "Er thats a bad choice of words... but the idea is that if you concentrate on hitting to the esclusion of all else then you get hit more."
>Angelia nods.
>Astraea says, "Ok... Back to Quantum"
>Maker shakes his head.
>Quantum grins.
>Pamico chuckles.
>Quantum asks, "Pamico, did I (in a highly disjointed fashion) answer your question?"
>Llorien grins.
>Kelila raises her hand.
>Quantum grins at Pamico.
>Mathuna says, "one warning."
>Pamico says, "Somewhat But I would still like to hear a clear vision on what you consider a warrior due to the fact that would give us a clearer view on how you see the profession going"
>Sid wanders over to the memorabilia wall and straightens the frames before going back to the bar.
>Quantum nods to Pamico.
>A tiny brown sparrow lifts its head and nuzzles Katie's ear before warbling a heart-rending melody.
>Mathuna says, "even though the entire creature change wont go in, some of their behavior will change with the new engagement system."
>Grindan glances at Sid.
>Pamico says, "Rather than that is a neat idea and yeah I might use it"
>Pamico says, "No offence"
>Pamico grins at Quantum.
>Quantum says, "Nonen taken."
>Quantum says, "And you are right, I'm going on a "neat idea" basis at the moment."
>Quantum says, "I had to hit the ground running with this job."
>Pamico says, "Most have"
>Quantum grins.
>grin quaYou grin at Quantum.
>Pamico chuckles.
>Kelila raises her hand.
>Quantum says, "I do hope to have a better master plan in the future."
>Kelila hiccups.
>Quantum says, "And I've got time to work one up while I do weapon bonding and adrenals."
>Quantum grins.
>Pamico chuckles.
>Pamico says, "So Soon the tradtional GM answer"
>Pamico snickers at Quantum.
>Llorien nods to Pamico.
>Quantum asks, "Okay, raise your hand if you'd like to get in line with a question?"
>Llorien grins.
>Quantum nods to Pamico.
>Katie raises her hand.
>Posidea raises her hand.
>Kelila raises her head.
>Quantum says, "Sorta Soon."
>Angelia raises her hand.
>Pamico chuckles at Quantum.
>Quantum says, "Okay, that's my next group of 4."
>Katie grins at Quantum.
>Quantum says, "Katie is a repeat, so bottom of the list."
>Katie sticks her tongue out at Quantum!
>Katie nods.
>Quantum says, "So Posidea first."
>Katie grins.
>Quantum grins.
>Quantum bows to Posidea.
>Posidea says, "I have several actually."
>Posidea asks, "so how many can I ask?"
>Posidea grins at Quantum.
>Astraea says, "you just asked it."
>Astraea whistles tunelessly to herself.
>Llorien laughs!
>Bowhuntress laughs!
>Posidea whimpers pitifully like a lost puppy.
>Quantum says, "If they are short questions, several is okay."
>Gloomthryn snickers.
>Maker snickers.
>Posidea nods.
>Quantum says, "If they require me to squirm, only one."
>Quantum whistles tunelessly to himself.
>Posidea asks, "first about combat, don't ya think they don't swarm enough now?"
>Posidea asks, "I mean you want to lower it. Have you hunted lately?"
>Astraea says, "Oh they swarm far too much. I think or at least in places."
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Angelia raises an eyebrow.
>Posidea asks, "where?"
>Quantum says, "In other places, it's probably a tad light."
Bowhuntress says, "Wolves"
>Bowhuntress winks at Posidea.
>Cindi says, "Some areas swarm. Some don't have nothing."
>Llorien grins at Bowhuntress.
>Posidea chuckles at Bowhuntress.
>Astraea says, "maybe some ofthe swarms have been adjusted."
>Epoclaen says, "The warrens forest path swarms like mad"
>Quantum nods to Epoclaen.
Astraea says, "Post on the boards if you think you got a sparse area."
>Angelia nods to Astraea.
>Astraea says, "Soemthimes we are unaware. :)"
>Posidea says, "all of Egypt."
>Gerett nods to Posidea.
Goldenmane says, "I have never seen more than two bacchae in a room at the same time."
>Stardust says, "Be careful what you ask for"
>Ogdem says, "bedbugs swarm great with 2 or more in there"
>Posidea says, "if no one else is there it'll take me a solid week to have a full hunt."
>Posidea nods to Ogdem.
>Stardust grins.
>Grindan nods to Posidea.
>Gerett says, "I'm getting a good workout running back and forth in the dunes outside of Alexandria."
>Posidea says, "Egypt is on level for me, but I'm stuck hunting underlevel because there's nothing to kill."
>Maker says, "i say bigger swarms on the forrest path"
>Llorien says, "we're happy in wolves."
>Angelia nods to Posidea.
>Llorien whistles skillfully to herself.
>Quantum grins at Maker.
>A young artist stands in awe before the memorabilia wall, sketching a quick copy of the handprints.
>Gloomthryn says, "would be nice to have one little area of fiends where they swarmed, as it is, one person takes forever to fill there heads there"
>Posidea asks, "my next question is can warriors expect something before combat?"
>'Egypt definately needs moreYou say, "Egypt definately needs more"
>Astraea says, "Ok slow down wolves and spid up the dunes."
>Quantum says, "Yes."
>Posidea peers quizzically at Quantum.
>Llorien says, "no no."
Quantum says, "Absolutely."
>Ogdem says, "I will say berserkers and barbarians in the warrens could use a gen adjustment though"
>Posidea nods to Astraea.
>Bowhuntress says, "no no"
>Llorien says, "wolves are perfect."
Bowhuntress says, "don't touch wolves"
>Posidea asks, "exactly what?"
>Quantum says, "I have several projects lined up that are not combat dependant."
>Llorien says, "We weren't complaining."
>Goldenmane exclaims, "Not less wolves!"
>Katie makes a shushing noise.
>Angelia asks, "It's Posi's turn..hello?"
>Posidea asks, "I mean do you have one or two or more things in the works?"
>Quantum gazes around at his surroundings.
>Posidea chuckles at Angelia.
>Astraea whispers to Mathuna, "heh"
>Angelia chuckles.
>Quantum says, "Let's all try and keep it down so I can focus on Posi's questions."
>Quantum says, "I have weapon bonding in the works now."
>Kelila grins at Stardust.
>Posidea nods to Quantum.
>Quantum says, "And I have the first parts of adrenals on my schedule next."
>Maker asks, "when is its eta?"
>Posidea asks, "isn't adrenals combat dependant though?"
>Quantum says, "Partially, partially not."
>Astraea says, "Some would be others would not be."
>Astraea smiles.
>Quantum says, "I can put in the basic system, to track your level of adrenal ability and so forth."
>Posidea says, "I mean a lot of us are considering changing because it's sooo many times of in the future you'll get this..."
>Kelila shifts her weight around.
>Quantum says, "And then I can implement abilities one at a time."
>Quantum says, "Healing for example I can do before combat."
>Posidea says, "I think many of us would like something now before combat and reallocation."
>Quantum says, "I 100% agree with you."
>Quantum smiles at Posidea.
>Lamira sighs.
>Posidea grins at Quantum.
>Posidea exclaims, "great!"
>Quantum says, "As I said earlier, I realize I have some backfilling to do."
>Posidea asks, "some?"
>Posidea chuckles.
>Quantum smiles.
>Posidea says, "I'd like to ask a question on balancing which I've noticed since I came back."
>Quantum says, "Shoot."
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Astraea says, "Oh there was one more thing I plan on implementing into the combat system. Useful RATIONAL twohanded. ie two daggers.... a longsword shortsword combo... but the tohit on both hands will be reduced"
>Quantum says, "Since your last one was a quickie."
>Posidea says, "I get the same types of damage whether my weapon is balanced or not."
>Quantum says, "The patch."
>Posidea asks, "so what exactly does balancing do now?"
>Quantum says, "Yes, there was a patch applied to combat that increased damage for all warriors.."
>Astraea nods.
>Quantum says, "And right now balancing damage gets lost in that it seems."
>Quantum says, "Harder to notice anyway."
>Quantum says, "that patch was a quick-fix, because warriors hadn't been given enough abilities to get their damage up where it should be."
>Posidea says, "before you knew by the damage curve, now I can get 200+ without it balanced or with it balanced."
>Quantum says, "Killing that patch and replacing it with abilities that let you earn that damage is a priority of mine."
>Posidea nods to Quantum.
>Astraea whistles tunelessly to herself.
>Quantum grins at Astraea.
>Grindan grins at Astraea.
>Maker peers out.
>Posidea says, "that'll do me for now, but I'm sure I'll have more."
>Posidea grins at Quantum.
>Kelila tickles Stardust.
>Quantum says, "Okay."
Heartsong just arrived.
>Quantum says, "Kelila next."
>Kelila nods.
>Quantum grins at Kelila.
>Kelila says, "Ok I wasn't her for the first of this but,"
>Kelila says, "I was wondering about animals"
>Katie grins.
>Astraea nods.
>Quantum nods to Kelila.
>Astraea says, "The warriors will be taken care of."
>Kelila says, "When I'm hunting alone I'd like to have like a little animal or something iwth me. With out being a priest"
>Quantum nods to Kelila.
>Astraea says, "Oh you mean pets..."
>Quantum says, "It seems to be a popular idea."
>Katie looks over at Astraea and shakes her head.
>Astraea whistles tunelessly to herself.
>Kelila says, "They don't hafta fight"
>Leanna nods to Kelila.
>Quantum says, "As I said on the boards, I just can't fit it into the schedule right now."
>Quantum says, "I have to work on critical things first."
>Quantum says, "But I do like the idea."
>Kelila says, "It's just good company. Mules run off"
>Maker mutters two professions already got them..why not add a third?
>Stardust grins at Kelila.
>Kelila giggles.
>Quantum says, "And once I've got the backfilling of core systems done, I can do some more fun stuff."
>Quantum grins.
>Kelila says, "It true"
>Kelila says, "I'd like a monkey by the way"
>Kelila grins.
>Bowhuntress grins.
>Quantum grins.
>Kelila says, "Little one to sit on my shoulder"
>Mathuna says, "Its possible kelila, but it will have to wait until some other sytems are fixed before a yes or no could be given on companions/familiars for warriors."
>Kelila nods.
>Kelila says, "Thanks"
>Leanna smiles at Mathuna.
>Kelila sticks her tongue out at Vaftel, and lets out with a loud, "Thbtbtbtbt" from her lips!
>Epoclaen asks, "Any chance some of those little fun things will be picked up by other GMs?"
>Quantum smiles at Kelila.
>Epoclaen peers quizzically at Quantum.
>Quantum bows to Kelila.
>Vaftel tickles Kelila.
>Mathuna says, "I refuse to shove another half broken creature system out there until the rest are working."
>Katie nods to Mathuna.
>Quantum says, "Lots of that is up to our critter guru."
>Quantum points at Mathuna.
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Ogdem raises his hand.
>Mathuna says, "its a sound idea, I just refuse to be rushed on it."
>Quantum says, "Basically my positions as well."
>Quantum nods to Mathuna.
>Mathuna says, "but when fixing the core bits, I'll keep requests like this in mind."
Maker just left.
>Astraea nods.
>Mathuna says, "and should Quantum want it for you then we can see about adding it."
>Mathuna grins at Cindi.
>Katie smiles at Mathuna.
>Astraea says, "I have ideas too in that regard. Though I still want to do surfing."
Quantum glances at Astraea.
>(Kelila mutters to Vaftel, 'I'm not a monkey".)
>Astraea says, "Hey it was in a show."
Pamico chuckles at Astraea.
>Astraea grins at Quantum.
>Quantum grins.
>Cindi says, "Great. Now I can drown."
>Goldenmane says, "So was a flying carpet."
>Quantum asks, "Kelila, did I cover your question?"
>Quantum grins at Kelila.
Bowhuntress asks, "a centaur surfing?"
>Kelila nods.
>Kelila says, "sorry"
>Kelila ducks her head.
>Quantum says, "And that brings up . . . ."
>Quantum exclaims, "Angelia!"
Gloomthryn says, "would require swimming as well"
Bowhuntress chuckles.
>Angelia chuckles.
>Astraea says, "hehe Well they just widen there board with the help of a spider and a relic... then they can web surf."
Astraea whistles tunelessly to herself.
Gerett groans.
>Pamico says, "Oy"
>Pamico looks like she just bit into a lemon!
>Pamico glances at Astraea.
>(Cindi looks around suspiciously for Revel.)
>Pamico shakes her head at Astraea and clucks her tongue.
>Astraea nods to Gloomthryn.
>Quantum clenches his fist around a huge waraxe.
>Cindi rubs a socra anklet.
Cindi stares off into space looking astonished.
>Quantum glances at Astraea.
>Grindan glances at Astraea.
>Angelia asks, "Okay, so far I've heard adrenals and weapons bonding...what else is in the works to make the warrior profession a tenth as exciting as the others?"
>Heartsong glances at Astraea and coughs.
>Gloomthryn mutters and sharks
>
>Angelia stares at Quantum.
>Quantum says, "At the moment nothing."
>Quantum says, "Which isn't to say that I don't believe more is needed."
>Angelia raises an eyebrow in Quantum's direction.
>Quantum says, "But in terms of "in the works", those are my two projects for the moment."
>A small spider went out.
>Sid wanders over to the memorabilia wall and straightens the frames before going back to the bar.
>Vaftel stands up.
>Astraea says, "Well Im not sure the others are exciting."
>Vaftel just went out.
>Angelia asks, "And bandages for Nommo...that's what's being worked on?"
>Astraea says, "Well or as exciting :)"
>Quantum says, "And I hate taking on more projects than I can finish, and then not having you guys trust me cause I don't follow through."
>Katie peers out.
>Nommo says, "I dropped the ball on bandages"
Aljahar just arrived followed by Fatale.
>Llorien gasps!
>Katie falls over.
>Angelia says, "Great"
>Llorien asks, "Why?"
>Aljahar sits at Fatale's feet.
>Angelia rests her chin on her palm.
>Katie sits up.
>Llorien hugs Nommo.
>Fatale sits down next to Aljahar.
>Goldenmane peers out.
>Astraea picks up a muslin wrapped ball.
>Astraea offers Nommo a greatsword.
>Grindan grins.
>Astraea offers Nommo a muslin wrapped ball.
>Astraea says, "There you go.. run with it."
>Llorien grins at Posidea.
>Aljahar chuckles at Fatale.
>Ogdem chortles.
>Leanna lets out a howl for Astraea!
>Nommo accepts Astraea's wrapped ball.
>Nommo hangs his head.
>Llorien rubs Nommo gently.
>Ogdem asks, "still in the works though?"
>Ogdem peers quizzically at Nommo.

>Angelia asks, "Of course I would, but you're only one person, and playing "catch up" like you said. To me, it seems like we're in the same spot we've always been in. All these things coming up, but who knows when?"
>Quantum says, "Yes."

>Quantum says, "Cause I wouldn't in your position either."
>Angelia says, "It has nothing to do with trusting you, per sae, Quantum"
>Angelia sighs.
>Angelia says, "It has to do with the fact that a lot of us feel like the red-headed stepchild here"
>Quantum asks, "What non combative things are you most looking forward to?"
>Raven Hawkeye just arrived.
>Angelia says, "Smithing, for one"
>Angelia nods to Quantum.

>Posidea chuckles.
Angelia nods to Quantum.
>Llorien says, "I think we've given you plenty of ideas."
>Angelia says, "Or a non-existant helm"

>Quantum nods.
>Quantum says, "Next is Katie take two."
>Katie grins.
>Quantum says, "And then I'll let more people get in the question line."
Katie says, "Okay I have just a few shorties."
>Katie says, "Is a handaxe and dagger a rational twohanded combo? It'd take me forever to figure one out so I figured I could just figure it out now.."
>Katie grins.
>Quantum ponders.
>Stardust peers out.
>Angelia just left.
>Quantum says, "Sounds like a neat weapon combo to me."
>Vaftel leans on Katie.

>Fatale nods to Aljahar.
>Aljahar just went out followed by Fatale.
>Quantum says, "With multiple styles."
>Llorien and Mathuna shake hands.
>Astraea says, "Its not his fault mox. The plan is this. Make base combat system work. Then expand it so that it encompasses brawling next."
>Quantum says, "to really make an unarmed fighter shine."
>Mox nods to Astraea.
>Astraea says, "I want to make brawling fast and furious."
>Vaftel rummages around in his pockets.

>Pamico snickers at Mathuna.
>Graeyson says, "Will warriors actually excel at these or will all professions have the same ability range"
Quantum says, "Depends on how you look at it."
>Graeyson says, "A warrior would be far more at ease surrounded by critters or brigands than a priest"
>Quantum says, "In that regard, yes."
>Quantum says, "I certailny agree with you."
>Quantum asks, "Astraea or Mathuna, care to add anything on this topic?"
>Quantum says, "I think it's a matter of everyone having a different way to survive a swarm."
>Quantum says, "Alchemists have that handy potion of instant disengaging."
>Quantum says, "Rogues have excellent acrobatics to get the heck out of dodge."

>Llorien smiles at Astraea.
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>A tiny brown sparrow lifts its head and nuzzles Katie's ear before warbling a heart-rending melody.

>Quantum winks at Bowhuntress.
>Graeyson nods to Astraea.
>Bowhuntress smiles at Quantum.
>Bowhuntress says, "just watching my own tail"
>Astraea says, "now a priest might summon a bear and say... STand at my right hand so that nothing ursine a scratch can harm me."
Astraea says, "But a warrior would scoff at that foe and smite himmightily."
>Goldenmane says, "Well then minions had better become a little more useful."
>Astraea says, "but there will be ummm some consideration to profession."
>Odzy just arrived.
>Odzy just went out.
>Puggy leans against a polished oak chair.
>Quantum asks, "Did we anwer that coherently enough?"
>Quantum peers quizzically at Graeyson.
>Mathuna says, "one part of the creature rewrite."
>Seni just went out.
>Goldenmane asks, "Which is before or after combat?"
>Graeyson says, "A warrior training two weapons would eventually use his left as well as his right, in swarms learn to be aware of his flanks without thought... I think I understand warriors will be a bit better but they really should excel"
>Katie takes a drink from her strawberry malt.
>Quantum nods to Graeyson.
>Astraea says, "Something for me to ponder."

Bowhuntress frowns.

Llorien says, "they'd all fry each other."
>Quantum asks, "Mathuna, Astraea, any more to add on this issue or shall we move on?"
>Quantum smiles.
>Posidea nods to Bowhuntress.
>Gloomthryn takes a drink from his strawberry malt.
>Mathuna asks, "I think we can move on?"
>Kelila smiles at Goldenmane.
>Llorien sits down next to Ogdem.
>Quantum nods.
>Mathuna glances at Astraea.
>Llorien looks at Mathuna and blushes.
>Graeyson nods to Quantum.
>Quantum says, "Okay, Lejessa was next."
>Lejessa asks, "I was wondering since swarms are going to be not quite so advantagous for us later, will individual monster pay off be increased? Or else wouldnt it take an awful long time to fill our heads?"
>Lejessa smiles.
>Stardust says, "we need more treasure now"
>Lejessa smiles at Llorien.
>Kelila says, "Good idea"
>Quantum says, "Well, keep in mind Astraea was talking about critical hits and other things to speed combat up."
>Stardust grumbles.
>Kelila nods to Lejessa.
>Quantum says, "So you can make one-on-one kills faster."
>Quantum asks, "Am I right on that Astraea?"
>Astraea blinks.
>Lejessa grins.
>Grindan says, "but you need to find the critters quickly enough to make that pay off"
>Astraea says, "Oh I want battles to be battle.s"
>Astraea says, "Experience and treasure would change to match the new situation"
>(Cindi deftly puts a spot under Astraea's feet.)
>Quantum nods.
>Lejessa says, "thanks"
>Astraea says, "Your all already far to rich. I was thinking of a death tax."
Quantum says, "I think that's what we were looking for."
>Lejessa giggles.
>Lejessa says, "I'm not rich"
>Llorien rubs Bowhuntress gently.
Bowhuntress snorts.
>Stardust says, "neither am i"
>Bowhuntress says, "no way"
>Cindi says, "I am poooor."
>Quantum chuckles.
>Puggy says, "Not a chance of me being rich."

>Bowhuntress snorts.
>Graeyson smiles at Katie.
>Pamico says, "That is wrong If it comes to that make us have to unbury our stuff"
>Astraea says, "But the experience probably solves that."
>Bowhuntress says, "i don't die cause of power hunting"
>Bowhuntress says, "i die cause of boots"

>Angelia hugs Gable.
>Astraea says, "No I got to play with the concept and talk to soemone like Quatum about it. Im not sure its possible.... But I would like to maybe have your next move get a bonus or not from where that last move would have left you..."
>Quantum says, "And it might not be me who improves these systems."
>Angelia holds hands with Gable.
>Lurker Kelila just arrived.
>Krunk smiles at Pamico.
>Ogdem nods to Astraea.
>Llorien says, "I thought that's what they were supposed to do."
>Ogdem says, "makes sense"
>Llorien gazes at Astraea.
>Quantum says, "It might actually be better if it's not me doing them, since that would free me up to do other warrior stuff."
>Quantum grins.
>Angelia nods.
>Daerio hums beneath his breath.
>Astraea says, "I dont want you to do them but I want to brainstorm it. Otherwise we will have combos or similar combos."
>Quantum says, "But I do realize that the current combo system is a bit limited."
>Astraea says, "or something like combos..."
>Quantum grins at Astraea.
>Mathuna chuckles at Quantum.
>Krunk grins at Pamico.
>Quantum says, "I know some of you have learned all the moves and combos you will probably ever get under the current system."
>Mathuna says, "A bit, yes."
>Llorien sighs.
>Llorien says, "Yep."

>Quantum says, "It might be a nice stepping stone towards smithing."
>Quantum smiles.
>Llorien smiles.
Quantum says, "The idea of assembling weapon from pre-bought parts could be pretty neato I think."
>Ogdem says, "as did I think"
>Quantum says, "And then later perhaps smithing to actually make the parts."
>Angelia nods to Quantum.
>Quantum says, "I could also add in bonding bonuses there too."
>Daerio chuckles.
>Daerio just went out.
>Ogdem says, "I thought the progression could be quite good"
>Quantum says, "As in you wouldn't need to balance a weapon multiple times to bond it, if you were the maker."

Astraea says, "Some would be easier than others."
>Astraea says, "mmm one shot... a chance."
>Bowhuntress grins.
>Quantum nods to Astraea.
Goldenmane says, "I just don't understand how people from different professions will be able to hunt together. Sounds like chaos to me."
>Llorien says, "pressure points I think would fit in though."
>Quantum says, "Okay Ogdem, that was 3 so let's move along."
>Llorien grins at Goldenmane.
>Astraea says, "Then you cant try again for a bit... as that batch of critters is wary of that move."

>Posidea exclaims, "great!"
>Posidea smiles at Nommo.
>Posidea says, "okay now for my question."
>Llorien says, "well at least he has a bathrobe on."
>Posidea says, "I have a two part question, more of a personal nature, but I think one that many of us would like to know yours and Nommo's opinion on."
>Posidea says, "You've stated that you have a full todo list and I don't know what exactly except bandages is on Nommo's todo list."
>Posidea says, "You might be aware or not that we have organized and met on several occasions to brain storm ideas on bettering our profession."
>Posidea says, "Do you feel this is something we should continue to address? Or..."
>Posidea asks, "Are you planning on having regular forums such as this so that we can indeed better our profession and know exactly where we stand with you?"
>Posidea says, "okay a bit fast, sorry."
>Posidea says, "I mean, this is the first warrior only forum we've ever had that I can recall. And I think many of us look at is as a step forward."

>Quantum says, "I was at those meetings."
>Quantum says, "Most of them."

>Llorien grins.
Posidea asks, "seriously, do you think it's something that's helpful to you and are you going to continue giving us these forums on a regular basis?"
>Quantum says, "The forums are helpful."
>Posidea says, "communication is vital when you have nothing else."
>Angelia nods to Posidea.
>Posidea says, "hope is out the window long ago."
>Quantum says, "I have to feel bad, cause you guys and gals can come up with ideas MUCH faster than I can program them."
>Cydara just went out.
>Quantum says, "So I have to come to these things and talk about an idea or two, and the rest is still in just the discussion phase."
>Goldenmane shifts her weight around.
>Quantum says, "Or possibilities."
>Cindi asks, "Wot? I thought you just did that magik hand waving thing like earlier and *poof* things popped out?"

>Llorien says, "we feel worse you can't."
>Quantum giggles at Cindi.
>Llorien ducks her head.
>Ogdem says, "just make a list"
>Ogdem grins at Quantum.
>Quantum says, "I don't want to build up a list so large I can't deliver on all of it."
>Kelila grins at Gable.
>Quantum says, "I want you to have some confidence that if I say something "made the list" then that means something."
>Quantum grins.
>Posidea asks, "so where do we fit in your plan then? You'll come up with a project and ask us for feedback?"
>Quantum says, "Means it is being actively worked on."
>Gable hugs Angelia.
>Gable hugs Leanna.
>Gable hugs Katie.
>Posidea asks, "and can we expect projects on a regular basis?"

>Quantum says, "New projects will come along as old ones get finished."
>Ogdem says, "things die on the baords so quick is the only thing, could lose something good"
>Katie sits up.
Quantum says, "True."
>Posidea asks, "will progress be a word associated with warriors though? If so, how soon?"
Posidea nods to Ogdem.
>Angelia nods to Posidea.

>Angelia gazes at Quantum.
Ogdem says, "already got one"
>Quantum says, "Sort of like the FAQ's some mailing lists build up."
>Ogdem winks at Quantum.
>Posidea says, "we've already been doing that."
Angelia nods to Posidea.
>Quantum says, "Good deal."
Quantum says, "Throw it up on the boards every 6 weeks or so."
>Quantum says, "So old ideas don't get buried."
>Ogdem says, "I have been"
>Posidea asks, "could you give us an idea though of will we develop on a regular basis, or still looking into the far future?"
Quantum says, "Well, things will go as fast as I can do them."
>Llorien gazes at Quantum in admiration.
>Quantum says, "And honestly, that depends on a ton of factors."
>Posidea asks, "I mean you have great ideas, but will we be 200 by then?"
>Quantum says, "Project complexity is always one factor."
>Llorien says, "I probably will be."
>Llorien grins at Posidea.
>Posidea smirks at Llorien.
>Quantum says, "That's why weapon bonding got bumped to the top of the list."
>Posidea exclaims, "not if I can catch ya!"
>Angelia wrinkles her nose.
>Llorien says, "Don't start."
>Quantum says, "It was easier to do than adrenals."

>Cindi cackles at Astraea!
>Astraea gazes around at her surroundings.
>Quantum says, "And I can give progress reports if desired, yes."
>Alydyana points at Katie.
>Posidea says, "like this is in the thought process, this is being worked on and this is almost done and this is coming out."
Alydyana says, "her shoulder"

>Astraea says, "Some friend you are."
>Astraea giggles.
>Alydyana twiddles her thumbs.
