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.

> 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)

But look at this one person can run around throwing dagger spears arrows at another and before the other knows what is going on there dead, Missile ranges are no good because it eliminates the thought of going into battle, and the part of Jullias's Shrine is I just want to find it, I know where the rest are but Jullias's seems to move around from time to time, and about Mordacha. Priest of Jullias is just a funny name I like to play
