When you scan at first U only have one range as you learn and grow though then you get range 2 all dependent on your scans. what do ya'll think I luv CF i think this would help it grow.

> Yeah, not really, ranged weapons is a very bad idea because it restraints the call of battle, if you want to battle go right in an attack, those who hide from battle should not be in Thera, I have played many classes and races that range weapons would be good but it just doesnt fit into this enviroment!
Hey Mordacha... You think the only life in Thera is direct confrontation? What about roleplay? Look at thieves and bards for example, of course they battle directly sometimes but the what about storytelling and singing. Not to talk about thieving etc... You play only for battle, eh? I play for the roleplaying. Quake is for battle, carrion is for roleplaying and battle. You write 'those who hide from battle should not be in Thera'. *snort* I say 'those who live only for battle should not be in Thera' (those who kills for no reasons but to receive a top twenty placing on the PK list)
I think the idea of ranged weapons is very neat. Increases rp and though it would be a nice completion to battle in Thera.
btw. Asking for the where Jullias shrine is tells me something about your morality and ethics.
Get a grip man!
