A few notes on these points..
> A. Keep me dirted. If I can't see you, I can't switch targets, and put the big hurt on you.
... in this case, irrelevant. It wasn't the switching targets that killed me, but the deathblow riposte.
> B. Manacle. Manacle. Manacle. -10 Dex is killer on a cloud giant, no matter what his clothes, plus the other obvious benefits.
... At this point, I do believe you were manacled.
> C. You are an arbiter, use roots, blowfish, etc... They are easy to come by, and can swing a close battle.
... Agreed. I've taken a two-year hiatus from Carrion Fields, after having played steadily for some time before that, and I quite frankly don't know where many of the current items are. No more black scrolls in Arboria, dammit!
> D. Don't panic! Fleeing is not always your best option. Use your best judgement here.
... I didn't flee. I didn't have time. ;)
> E. Stand next to your inner healer. Type "heal heal". Nuff said.
... I was there, and doing that. Only reason I was alive _for_ the logged fight.
> Oh, and at least you tried. Better to have died trying, than to have cowered in disgrace.
... If you flee from everything, and don't own up to your character's responsibilities, what's the point in playing the game?
