The elder and a few senior players last event mentioned a few notes I recently recalled and decided to look up to make sure I understood them correctly.

Killing strike and Increased damage were reputed to destroy weapons upon use, with the exception of Increased Damage's exception of having a high enough quality weapon.
The online rules state this as true, however there's... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Savage Insight) http://archaea91833.yuku.com/topic/466 Thu, 17 Aug 2006 07:05:30 GMT http://archaea91833.yuku.com/topic/465/t/Handling-quot-self-maintaining-quot-effect-of-a-ressurecti.html
Some players purchased wealth last active event. This, and other skills I imagine are going to be a bit hard to keep up because the game still needs to get back onto its feet (my guess).

So how should we manage/go about stuff like that?

Just thoughts. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Savage Insight) http://archaea91833.yuku.com/topic/465 Tue, 15 Aug 2006 16:02:58 GMT http://archaea91833.yuku.com/topic/467/t/Flails-are-head-legal-but-what-of-damage-.html feeds@yuku.com (Savage Insight) http://archaea91833.yuku.com/topic/467 Tue, 15 Aug 2006 14:43:55 GMT http://archaea91833.yuku.com/topic/468/t/A-Rogue-s-Trap-Disarming-Kit-may-need-it-this-weekend-.html As with our greater prevailing performance and the rather ineffective accuracy of catapaults and various traps in our journey to the sea, it would seem that some of the dead lingered to tell their comrades, and thus according to their cowardly ways, have altered the nature of their plans: they have better traps.

1. Bracing: If someone has a long weapon or even a dagger braced against their arm to strengthen their block and the strike hits the weapon but not them, is that still a hit? (barring arrows of course)
2. Strength and Impact (counting hits): This isn't a tapping game, understood, but what is the minimum recognized strength hit in the game?

I've hesitated for a very long time because I truly enjoy intensity (taken wise and well of course). Darkon interests me because the good players there take hits well and give them out with a satisfying sting similar to paintball.

For instance, a cloak with 'concealing' built in. Or a mace with a couple of 'feats of strength' per day. Or a dagger with several levels in 'killing strike.'

I was just wondering, because it seems like this might be a good way to diversify magic items.

The rules state:
"A Killing Strike bypasses armor and therefore does not affect the hit points of armor. For example, if the character has Killing Strike level four and makes a strike to the chain mail torso of a target, the target takes a Mortal hit but his or her armor does not lose any hit points from the Killing Strike. ...

Those of Rule of Knowledge may chose two Specialization arche (up to level 10), two Major arche (up to level 7), four Minor arche (up to level 3), and the remaining arche will be completely closed to the caster. Those of Rule of Magic gain unlimited access to the Arche of Power.

Does the Arche of Power count against these limits? Is it possible to choose to have the Arche of Power completely closed to the caster? Is this as stupid an idea as it sounds?... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Vistariil) http://archaea91833.yuku.com/topic/486 Wed, 03 Mar 2004 10:25:13 GMT
