> Wither is fucking Bullshit. Was I the only one who paid attention to Gelkof? It's Mongoose that's bullshit. > Wither has a decent chance of taking 5 years off your life. This aint so bad for most races, but humans and arials who live to sub 100 years. Its completly unfair. I cant understand how something can be placed in the game that can completly destroy a few select races without any roleplay like reason. This would be part of the balance of the races. > How can you say humans are ten times more fragile than elves? It's not a question of fragility; it's how time affects them. > I have full con with spare trains and i was old age with 60 years. That would be about when humans turn old, yes. > I have about 80 save spell from a rather nice set, (brooch, ruby collar, fortitude, Helm of black, ribcage, black death, robe of black magi) specifically designed for save spell because i heard that if you fail all saves on the wither (-30 str) then you lose age. But it was worthless, ok, i saved against part of the wither (I took -10str only) > But the age still came off. With no increase in hours, i was suddenly 65 years old. I can guarantee you are mistaken. I'm going to say that again just so it doesn't get lost among your other assorted swearing and my assorted smart-assed replies. You are mistaken about the above. Wither, when it ages, will eat away at your "maximum" age. It does not change your current age. > A few more and ill be dead of old age. > I deserve a decent response from the imms on this and dont insult my intelligence with a typical response used on newbies. Would you be so kind as to explain to me what you've done to deserve this?
