Artery doesn't reduce dexterity. Only strength. Hurl torso is only strength loss, and throat has no stat loss. All the others have a combination of strength and dex loss. Vital area is only strength loss. Boneshatter reduces dex by the same number it reduces str. ~10 at hero. Same is true for whirl as is for boneshatter. ~6 at hero. Hamstring is only dex loss. ~10 at hero. Impale is thby _Magus_ - Main Board
And the answer I got was this: Forsaken thoughts is more evident for an evil aligned character who wants to resist holy, and vice versa for good aligned characters. While neutral characters taking it will gain a smaller percentage of benefit from both. Hope it helps.by _Magus_ - Main Board
I have a clear idea of the science behind weight lifting and weight management. It isn't something I learned overnight, or read from a few textbooks. It is something I learned over a period of six years thru trial and error, determination, and hard fucking work. While people were out partying and drinking beers, I was making sure I am taking care of my body and my personal goals. At 5'8by _Magus_ - OT Board
Diet is what you consume. Whether your thin, round, large, tall, short, or whatever, your diet should still be healthy. And the simple quote "as long as you're burning what you eat" is pure evidence that you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, or how to gain weight and lean muscle mass.by _Magus_ - OT Board

Those are pretty good odds. And regen forms make it possible to survive things you otherwise wouldn't. The only thing that can really hose you, is letting your mana get too low, and not being able to regenerate. And even with utility, there's an available regen form. I like the utility forms with the greater enlivens from defense, too.by _Magus_ - Main Board
I'm referring to muscle catabolism, due to strenuous workouts, and lack of nutrition. Two completely different things. In the example I give, which is also relative to the original post (while yours isn't, because you're referring to starvation), muscle is the more susceptible energy source.by _Magus_ - OT Board

Did you even read anything you posted? There isn't any connecting evidence to anything. It's all "it may cause this," "there is lack of evidence," etc. The only thing that is known for certain, is that steroid abuse has negative effects. But that's true for anything. There have been more successful results from proper steroid use than negative results.by _Magus_ - OT Board
And I don't just believe what the media tells me they think about steroids. "life threatening heart attack, problems with rage and aggression, misproportioned muscles, a patheticly dropped labido (not that you even have a labido to begin with), and not to mention the other numerous problems that aren't 'medically proven'." Which you clearly do.by _Magus_ - OT Board

You may not want to grow. You may want to lose weight. So if you were to only intake 22-2400 calories to lose weight, that might be just enough to keep me leveled off where I am at. Whereas if I wanted to lose weight, I might have to drop it down to 2000-2200 calories. Either way, those calories should still be coming from clean sources, like I've been saying all along.by _Magus_ - OT Board
Where are you getting that I am saying you have to eat tons and tons of food? A healthy diet is individualized from person to person. What works for me won't necessarily work for you. "Enough calories to grow" could mean 2800 for me. But for someone who is 30 or 40lbs heavier than me, it could be more like 32-3400. What I am saying, is that a good diet consists of dairy, simpby _Magus_ - OT Board
Sorry. 60% are overweight. That's what I was intending to say. Even 30% is way too much. If you aren't positive, then don't say it's wrong. I am positive, however. Fat is a more complex source of energy, while muscle is readily available. That's why it is so difficult to be a competitive athlete. Because there is a lot of science involved in maintaining the proper muscby _Magus_ - OT Board
I'm fully aware of what you're talking about. In the weight lifting world, it's called a "dirty bulk." All you're doing is filling yourself with enough calories to grow. However, doing this can have several problems, both physically and mentally. If your goal is to simply get as many calories as possible, then health takes a backseat. Doing a dirty bulk is an option,by _Magus_ - OT Board
Even people who are "hard-losers" can nutrition themselves so that they are in a natural state of anabolism. Being personal trainer certified, as you claim, you should know that. That's the key to achieving success in your goal. People being uneducated about their own health, and how to maintain good health, is how they get problems in the first place. That's why there'sby _Magus_ - OT Board
I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying people don't eat the right stuff. They eat stuff loaded with sugar, saturated fat, high cholesterol, etc., which is what prevents them from keeping natural muscle and gaining excessive fat. Again, it's obvious you don't know anything about anabolism and catabolism.by _Magus_ - OT Board
