Why not just level sit at 10?by Elystan - Main Board
Add the option to roll a newbie character who never gets involved in PK, gets an after the comma title declaring them to be a newbie, and has a level cap. 20, 25 or 30. Gives first time players the chance to rank up to level 20, by which time the can figure out all the shit their second character is going to need to have done by level 10, i.e. where the equipment is and how hard it is to get.by Elystan - Main Board
Also if you make villager you'll get spellbane and resistance which could help balance things a bit. Also being level 51 yourself and not using steel on invokers would have helped your chances there.by Elystan - Log Board
I always feel bad when I get those, although I was grouping with this guy and specifically told him that lightning bolt was overrated. A-P is such a gimp class.by Elystan - Log Board
Bloodlust isn't exactly haste. It reduces regen in the same way but doesn't give you +1 attack/round like haste (as I know it) does. The extra attacks it gives kick in at 45 against multiple opponents.by Elystan - Log Board

One more moan and I'll be done: I had no idea this fight was coming, was asleep inside my guildhall. Noticed myself yell so I stood up, immediately got bashed, spammed flee, escaped with 59 hp as you see there. Logic dictates if I had been dual wielding I probably wouldn't even have got in the flee.by Elystan - Log Board
Then again, if she's not using a shield she only has the one evade.. dual wield is a chance of extra attacks which, as using a shield I should have a better chance to evade. Previous experience with similar muds suggests to me that shield > dual wield, especially when you don't have dodge. Maybe CF is different. Also it seems to me that A-P is less a melee class and more a gimpedby Elystan - Log Board
Can't remember exactly, something like 93%. Probably just really bad luck on my part. This game is frustrating.. I accept there are other people who are much better at the game and will usually beat me, but all things being equal and my antagonist getting away with perfect health is enough to ruin my day.by Elystan - Log Board

I shared the name of a long-time fortress leader. And I wasn't allowed a variation on spelling because it still came up on google.... *mutter*by Elystan - Main Board
Okay what? The Realm of the Dead You are standing on an immense, gray stone floor that stretches as far as you can see in all directions. Rough winds plunging from the dark, starless sky tear savagely at your fragile body. Players found: 0 How did I get there and how do I get out?by Elystan - Main Board
QuoteIsildur While its always theoretically possible for someone to do total command denial until you're dead, typically that's not the case. Especially if you're a giant, which it sounds like you may be given your comment below about not having enough practices. If you're getting bashed into the ground, explore reduce and enlarge. Nope, just been trying to maintain my conby Elystan - Main Board
QuoteZwi First, don't stay in fights you're losing. Lag skills make me cry :( QuoteZwiSecond, you're an AP and never, ever, ever try for sleep. Why not? If I could KO an opponent, I could maledict them and be fairly sure of a victory. QuoteZwiMaledictions are good, but use a weapon and shield if you're getting outmeleed. I haven't even practiced dual wield, beby Elystan - Main Board
Also is there still a pitch black flaming longsword? Was there ever the excalibur that did acid blast? That was sick.by Elystan - Main Board
I predict my title character will con delete before level 27 (currently level 26)by Elystan - Main Board
Your post didn't work, it actually encouraged me. My old MUD (now defunct) had a clan broadly equivalent to Scion, it was even called that at one point, they were very elitist. I had a character with them, I know how to RP a magnificent bastard and how to PK I just don't know areas and gear.by Elystan - Main Board
Would it be feasible for me to get into Scion? It's the clan that appeals to me most. I've only been playing here about a month and have yet to get any predatory PKs.by Elystan - Main Board
In my old mud being clanned was something that generally only experienced players could accomplish. How difficult is it here? Can anyone describe the process? Actually I'm sure it has been described on this site already, where can I read about it?by Elystan - Main Board
It's just that I couldn't bring myself to level anyone who wasn't getting maximum hp gains per level. Obviously +con gear can offset this somewhat but as a newbie I don't really know where to get it. Too much con loss would cause me to stop playing that character. I haven't actually abandoned any characters for that yet, just in anticipation of that. I'd still havby Elystan - Main Board
Is that normal?by Elystan - Main Board
This is really an introductory post but I'm going to make a topic of it anyway. Seriously I play one for a while and I decide my build is awful and I have to start again. Giant Warrior? Never gonna get a PK, opponents will see me coming a mile off. Elf Ranger? Too fragile and limited to the wilderness. Half-Drow Anti-Paladin? Everyone and their mother can see invis, I can't outmelee anyby Elystan - Main Board
