And the whole thing took about 2 seconds so... she actually did ..
At this point I was pointing out that no amount of preparation seemed to help me against this lot
talking about 3 on 1 stuff that fight where I died was 2 healers and a paladin
hence then next line about how world bind would be useful against empowered classes
thing is I had just died and I was a little pissed off... so I wasn't exactly
happy ...*shrugs* I think that was probably my only lapse... *shrugs* Besides even if I stunned
one then the healers could just wake them up and selric kept stealing my weapon...
bah I dunno.
Hard buggers to kill

> This line translates to "please anathemize me." Any Sect Leader worth his/her salt would've done so. The semblance of power and confidence are easily as important as power itself. It's true that not every Imperial can have the player skill to walk around kicking ass and taking names all the time. But even Imperial can act as though this were the case, downplaying their defeats, blaming them on others, and emphasizing their victories, no matter how few. I'd recommend reading Machiavelli's The Prince, or at least sections of it, prior to playing an Imperial. Well, I recommend reading it in general, actually. It's good stuff.
