> I don't see why being anathemized would destroy anyone's char at the moment, at least not from the point of them hunting you. I had Gharik anathemize Vargus because of reasons ic that fit with the char. The only citizens I have had any trouble with so far are Kosedran(nice assassinates) and Mythanthar, damn invokers heh, but as far as the blades go they are friggin weak.
> If I can take out two assassins at once that is sad, since I suck as far as being a pk'er goes. The Empire just needs some really good players right now to reshape it back into power. I mean come on, killing an anathema is important to a citizen but to just throw your life away? I couldn't believe it worked but I actually lured four citizens to their deaths by standing next to a hero arb and taunting them. I realy wish I would have stayed in Empire, I think it would have been fun but the char just didn't want to, oh well maybe next time. that's just my thoughts, flame away, I know you people hate me. Heh.
