If it is what I think will be long term character, I think up more than a basic role and try to put it in before lvl 30. I have stopped expecting to win any role contents, I just get enormously frustrated when I don't. Sometimes I get some imm xp and it is cool, sometimes I don't, and it is no big deal.
Allow and expect yourself to experience 3 (5, 10, whatever number is more than y
Most of the skills have a level component, i.e. Cerunnir listed hero effects.
I am not sure, but I think impale is only -5 -5. Possibly, it is affected by strength of the warrior.
Personally, I would go dagger instead of sword for the added versatality, but swords work well, and
it is easy to spot the situations where it won't work and just run or get help.
In the particular case of elf sword: double thrust and flurry will suck plus you can't expect to just bash to win.
Though 23 dex is decent, if not great, for riposte, and elf swiftstrike makes up for it.
I have played a giant and some 22-23 dex flail specs. The skills worked much more often for the latter ones. I haven't really experimented with whip vs. flails. I mostly used flails for offense.
The giant was pre-bludgeon, which might have a strength component.
2007 was a good CF year:
Shifters, more edges, arena and more. I am still enjoying CF, thanks to
both players and imms
To an exciting new year on CF!
Have fun all!
Just wondering really. Since the effects (apart from damage) of lashes of the slave seems to be
demoralizing in nature, would a high morale protect against the side effects? I haven't really fought
lashes aps myself, but I thought it would make sense.
Of course, it can also just be a random roll for the ap, not involving any saves on the victims behalf.
