I meant that seven thousand were from quests that can be done at any
level in the teens within one game day for a quick level up. The number is
probably more like 11k, and I know the usual bunch of lowbie ones to help
make 5-10 go quickly. Other then that I find it easier to kill mobs to gain ranks,
most of the time.
If you time your rolling towards the end of the three day reboot cycle,
you'll find a full set of decent armor laying around in Velkyn. If you're unlucky
or roll shortly after a reboot, grab whatever armor that looks heavy and wear
it. Plate armor and whatnot from the shops is good in a pinch. If you know how
to make gold, or don't mind asking a hero to do it free, try for some
The wood-elf settlement southwest of Galadon has a merchant that sells various preps...including fly and return. There's other stuff too, but I only noticed it myself on my current and he's still too low level to buy/browse a few of the preps there. I'd be very surprised if Outlanders couldn't barter with the settlement...it's decently wildernessy.
But, both times Battle was in power. If you play a small number of hours at the same time each day, you might find yourself helping out the wrong end of a pendulum swing. My last Nexun suffered from Fortoclockitis and for a good portion of his life he might as well have been an Imperial. That being said, you'll go through swings of every kind, and get to fight almost everyone who's not
When is Ghrim's player going to own up? He's still hiding behind the anonymous tags on the battlefield and log boards.
Ghrimriddor was such an awesome character. He never did anything douchy. Not. Ever.
HE seems to believe that, and despite what I and at least a few others saw in game it's still pretty much blowjobs all around over on his death thread. So...why so shy?

"I'm almost convinced a number of the villagers haven't even made an attempt to read the Plaque, which leads me to consider a revision of it to clarify a few things."
I don't think the -str stacks from the edge...I think it's just, for some forms, it's possible for their bite to stack -str.
I had the tiger form once, and during a long fight with a paladin he dropped his weapon...after about three or four bleeding bites. There was nothing else I could think of to explain his weapon dropping, other then the bleeding bites stacking -str.
I'm human, I don't think I've cast malleability once since I got the spell. And I do try to pk quite a bit, so I might go ahead and take the duo edges. It'd be great to have duo make me a scout instead of just a really really good hider.
I've been saving my points up, and I'm pretty sure I can take both adept and master of dimension, but it'd probably end up wiping out most of them. So I was thinking of going for other, less taken edges. Perfect self, for instance, looks like it might be handy.
Thought I still might take the duo edges. Being able to use where in duo...would be awesome.
Unless maybe you had it with a char just before that. Alligator is pure awesome. Though I agree, I'd be pissed if I ever rolled an offense shifter that got jaguar.
Two out of the three aligns have a slow source available for sale in a major city. All three have access to a non-limited slow wand. Combine that with meditation, trance, and if you're REALLY desperate the calmed mind edge, and I don't see them needing to sleep more then 3-5 hours for a full set of conjurations. Which last...what? Fifty hours?
Doesn't seem like a bad trade off
Bad long term strategy, maybe, but only maybe, because you're going to end up fighting Imperials and pissing them off at some point anyway.
It's just as possible to have a bloodthirsty neutral Nexun and have it be okay, as it is to have a bloodthirsty neutral Outlander.
When Thera is Balanced, it's perfectly okay to go out and pk people, if you've got a halfway reasonable role to explain it. I was surprised at that with my first Nexun, because there were a couple vets who, when there was Balance, were liable to go looking for fights with anyone.
Another reason I like Nexus. Also, because Nexun powers are awesome.
If the Nexuns viewed the Balance and Thera wasn't Balanced because there were too many goodies, then hell yeah they should have been slaughtering Forties. And if the cabal wars command is showing a halfway legitimate picture of how things are right now, then yeah, I'd expect the Nexuns to be going after the Fortress a majority of the time. Are some Forties newbs? Maybe. But that doesn
Could use some advice from people who've had Thror empowerment characters. The whole idea of asking for a god's power so you have new abilities and skills seems to go against the grain of the religion, from what I've heard of it.
How did you all get around this? Maybe it's a problem with my imagination, but I've always played my empowerment chars as asking the god for
Vanguard of the Balance is vastly underrated...against anyone a Nexun SHOULD be fighting at that moment, it can range from decent to good damage reduction, and if you do your job well enough to convince an imm to lay Champion of the Balance edge on you, it gets even better. (Last time I was in Nexus it was full of a buncha gear whoring newbs who didn't give a shit about the balance, wasn
As a scion felar assassin I got the Forsaken Thoughts legacy, magic's scars edge, and some edgepoints. Definitely a good prize...who fears the Fortress wrath spam? Not I!
It varies with the veil I think, but limited aura,shield,barrier sources won't make the echo trigger every time you walk in. If you're in a suspect area, you need to walk in and out of every room several times to be reasonably sure.
Ragers ganging a conjie by grouping to kill it's servitors is still ganging. Conjurers use their servitors to kill, not magic missile. Whether doing that fits into the exact letter of Rager law or not doesn't stop the obvious douchiness and the just as obvious breaking of the spirit of the law. Yeah, conjurers really count as four PC's now.
