In Reply to: Let's end it here and end it now, arbiter with guards vs rager with powers, fair fight? posted by Kennan on August 15, 2000 at 02:34:21:
That's why every fight has a winner, and a loser. Would it be a fair fight if Dhaevor blasted both of your guards in two rounds of combat? Nope, then he'd chop you to bloody pieces. Would it be a fair fight if you summoned Jirgolo to the cave outside the village and struck first, rescuing yourself with hasted, sanced, guards, allowing you to stand back and crush him? Probably not. Cabal power are fascinating in that even the so called worst powers (Imperial Blade come to mind) can be devastating. Is it fair when two of them attack you while you have guards? Not at all. If ya both have powers, one on one should be fine. Jirgolos blanket statement that if you know how to use guards you'd slaughter them is ridiculous, as are most blanket statements. The only fair fights are two players, same class, same rank, same equipment, same powers, same protections, fighting in a cage. But, you don't see that all that much.
