> This transform thingy that masters get, aint that a little bit too good?
It is one of the more powerful cabal abilities, especially before the mage has enough power to get wands and such.
> Did I miss some disadvantage? Wouldn't just weapon resistance be proper?
Yes, you did. Damroll reduction, slowed skill learning, no barrier for starters.
> And what about deathblow? Seems a little too good to deliver five times normal damage.
Deathblow is also one of the more powerful cabal abilities. Worse, it's one that requires no strategy at all to employ correctly, like several of the Rager powers.
> What do you guys think of changing etho or alignment?
You already can, via many methods. Some involve Imm involvement. But all are difficult in some fashion... which is a good thing. We don't want people changing alignment every two seconds.
> I mean, some races/classes should be able to change as they progress further in life, especially humans who are quite variable and so. Especially neutrals should be able to change alignments further on in life as they gain experience and such. Look at some fantasy books for example! Lord Ingtar changed alignment from good to evil, then back to good in Robert Jordan's books. I'm sure there's a lot other examples you can figure out.
There are plenty of CF examples of this already, including one very interesting current character. See any odd titles?
> Btw. I was praccing the other day, I spent a couple of hours killing gibberlings, I didn't improve even once, is this improving rate based on level vs. level? Or I was just unlucky? It seems to me I improve my skills more when I'm fighting against mobs of same or higher level.
Yep, level does matter. But you can fight without resting for a lot longer against the lower level ones. The best bet is to find loser MOBs for their level, and get the best of both worlds. Hunt around a bit.
