Hmm - if stats are that consequential, seems new players should start with more points to divvy up between them, then!

The learn system should help at least a little with this, assuming it's still in the game? By making people really max out in the skills they can have above 25, you should have a very hard cap on the amount of XP you can realistically invest in a character in a way that gives you meaningful benefits...

I would suggest we ought to revise it then - if we're not 'voting' on anything for real, the body is probably not actually a council in any official sort, just a coded way of acknowledging who has the heft to influence city metrics directly due to personal resources. (Give the vote to those with Wea...

I would read this policy as: "Wounds are cleaned and bound/given very basic care in Ahalin but not properly treated." So no one bleeds to death, emergency procedures are typically completed, but people also don't receive full levels of care unless a PC doctor is called. This makes sense both ICly, a...

I think a lot of this disagreement is traceable to the lack of definition we had before now. Now that we DO have it defined that 'votes' represent tangible actions a person is taking but not actual votes, that clarifies a lot about how the system should work. For example of what I mean: 1) Knowing v...

My apologies for getting the hits wrong, Noobus! I admit I didn't look at the log to check, just memory. But even so, I think the steel plate issue is a very serious one. That in and of itself nearly obviates the disadvantage in damage mattack was designed to have - and yeah, it creates this very we...

I agree with Vox here: all else being equal, weapons should beat mattack every time. Mattack is a desperate form of attack used in last-ditch circumstances. It should be effective against non-coms, or against legitimately outclassed fighters, but it's not a match for steel; mages who want to win toe...

I think I voted in a couple cycles when Order GLs did not, so my vote went through, but one cycle I voted, checked city report, and saw my vote/reason had been replaced by Renton's, so after that I haven't been voting unless I catch cycles close to over and there's no order vote. So you might have s...

Unless I'm wrong, blindness is supposed to exact only a small penalty on combat (to keep it from being too wildly overpowered), and given that I would call at least our fight pretty dang close to even - we both attacked every round, I was at my ideal range, and the blindness was the only actual disa...

The way I'm reading this, and I apologize if it just comes off to me in ways unintended, it just seems like all the knights are disgruntled because mages have not been easy wins lately, and that people are eager to see mattack damage lessened, mattack's any range and its armor immunity possibly bei...
