"f you want to bring up bloody shackles and conscription, how about insects for outlanders? Isn't there a cople super secret outlandr powers as well? I have no idea what they are, but I have heard they exist. "
The secret things have nothing to do with combat.
"What do Tribs lose? Mancles anyone? No mancles, no sequester. I'm not sure about this, but in my experience, I think the guards you call are powered down with the scales gone as well, could be my imagination though. "
Yeah well Outlanders lose everything, like most other cabals.
"Have you EVER tried to retrieve from the outlanders as a trib? Walking down that path, wondering "is anyone there? Is so, how many. Is someone that can insect me awake? Snare? heal the huntress?" You walk up to the tribs front door, You know EVERYONE except maybe an assassin, thief or transmuter. You walk to the huntress, everyone could be hiding there. "
I have retrieved from them as part of other cabals. It is not that hard to ask someone that can see them how many there are. Plus the Provost can see them anyway. You are also leaving out the unseen trib groupies that come and help down outlanders that come in.
"And just for the record, not including from high altitude flying, there are 8 ways I can count to enter Galadon. Eight! 11 if you count running into the graveyard or the Inn or the lumberyard and waiting from in there for a bit. What is the most any of the others have? 3? "
And how do you get into the graveyard or lumberyard without being in the city first? And all cabals have the air approach that I didn't include. If you boil the outskirts down to one approach they have one way into the city.
"How about the blind test? How easy is it to find your way out of your Galadon if you are blind? With 8 different ways out, once you realise where you are, you can get out easily. Try fleeing in the dark forest and getting back out, with enemies chasing you, enemies with Wind Walk (you forgot about that little power too). "
Ever try fleeing galadon blind with a shit ton of guards on you plus the enforcer the whole time. Not to mention you might get ass raped at the gate if you make it that far.
"Oh, and I think there is something about conscription that you do not know about. Something that made it not worthwhile for me while I was Provost. It is good in situations, yes, very good probably, but situationally only."
Besides what I described, nope don't know anything about it.
