I think it came up in discussion about deathblows. I think "someone" said that the damage from a single deathblow was capped at 750, with the cap applied *after* all damage reduction was taken into account.by Isildur - Main Board
My thoughts exactly. You don't need to know anything about CF in order to role-play. If you don't know where something is, well, role-play ignorance. If anything your character will seem more authentic than the rest of us, who magically know where all these areas are, what items do, what every other class's abilities are, etc. Not being gear/percentage dependent in order to cby Isildur - Main Board
According to the wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skyline) the Skyline is sold in the U.S. as the Infiniti G35. Searching on AutoTrader shows 2006 G35's available for as low as $23k USD, and GTOs in about the same range (though less common). I'm not going to bother looking up stats, but I'm guessing the GTO has significantly more power.by Isildur - OT Board
You get identify, but not locate object. You do get gate, though, which in some cases makes up for the lack of locate object. You're hard to kill. You get word of recall, teleport, flight and detect invis "for free". You're valuable to groups, so as long as you're moderately competant, you get pulled along on trips to exotic exploration areas.

While "1% hold 1/3 of the wealth" seems drastic, I'm guessing the statistics from other countries wouldn't "sound" very different to the lay person. Maybe for France it's "top 3% hold 1/3 of the wealth", just to make up some numbers. Deconstruct that stat and it doesn't seem as surprising. A significant portion of the U.S. has no "wealthby Isildur - OT Board
But I've considered some warrior builds based around dex malediction. Really, I'm not sure the warrior class needs a boost.by Isildur - Main Board
Considering: 1. Transmuter is probably ambushing the warrior, so he's not going to have haste up. 2. Transmuter can slow him and negate the haste.by Isildur - Main Board

I don't need legal advice, but I often find myself debating with loonies and find that lack the legal knowledge to make the points I want to make. I may have a hunch something is true, but can't articulate exactly why.by Isildur - OT Board
Apparently you really *were* just complaining about writing a role and not getting an imm high-five.by Isildur - Main Board
Writing a decent role is a pain in the ass. When I do one, and nobody appreciates it, it annoys me. Not because I need anyone's approval, but because I want that sweet edge lovin', dangit. And I'm not getting it without imm xp, large chunks of which are handed out to role contest winners. But, that's not really what pro's complaining about. He's just bitching aby Isildur - Main Board
How you can type "right a role" then have the stones to complain about other peoples' grammar? "Feedback" is also a single word.by Isildur - Main Board
Then they delayed it to April, I think. Though, I heard (unverified) that they laid off most of the production staff. Something to do with the writer's strike. I've watched the first 3 seasons in the last 4-5 months, and am almost to the end of season 3. I'll be very annoyed if they end the series without tying up loose ends.by Isildur - OT Board

If someone kills you and doesn't loot anything, consider returning the favor if/when you ever kill them. If someone full loots you *and you know it was them* then feel free to return the favor and leave them naked.. Though, consider whether their gear was universally inferior to yours at the point when you died. If so, can you really blame them for the full loot? Actually, if someoneby Isildur - Main Board
...is go into each char with the *expectation* that I'm going to die and be full looted *multiple times*. Lots of times I operate under the misconception that if I just do everything right, etc, that I can go through an entire character and hardly die at all. So when I die in stupid *preventable* circumstances, I regard it as a personal failure. Making me want to wipe the slate clean. Buby Isildur - Main Board
When I would do it with assassins, I'd start out with sword/shield. When parry got up around 90 I'd switch to hands/shield. By the time parry perfected, shield and dodge would be in the mid 90s and unarmed defense in the mid 80s. Approximately.by Isildur - Main Board
Consider it an experiment. I'm curious what your ratio would end up being.by Isildur - Main Board
This way I can simultaneously check how often I dodge and shield block each weapon type. Assuming I can even get someone to help me out with it.by Isildur - Main Board
Is it that the really good warrior players don't do as well when they play goodies, or is it that the really good warrior players just never play goodies *period*, so we don't see very many "really good" good-aligned warriors?by Isildur - Main Board
Used to know this, but forgot. I would always look up some old post I'd made about it, but now I can't do that. Parry's first, pretty sure. What's the order on dodge vs. shield?by Isildur - Main Board
That's about as relevant to my post as what you responded with. Yhorian said "Without defiance they had no chance of killing me and I had every chance of owning them". To which I responded, "Did the paladins you fought have pounce?" I could add to that "cloak of displacement" and "virtues specifically geared to jack up your class". Dependinby Isildur - Main Board
Sometimes I wonder whether the reason for Ron Paul's inclusion in various Republican debates is solely because of some backroom bargain he made that he'd drop out of the race if he doesn't get the nomination, instead of staying in and leeching off votes that would otherwise go to the Republicans.by Isildur - OT Board

I remember back a long time ago I took a drow assassin with perfected parry/dodge/shieldblock and logged a bunch of combat vs. some mobs, then broke out how many I parried, shield blocked and dodged. I forget what order they're checked in, but I took that into account at the time. In the end, I shieldblocked 50% of the melee hits that got that far. The fact that it was almost exactly 50% sby Isildur - Main Board
