Komodo and crocodile have excellent regen. They are better at taking damage and will last longer when facing a tough foe that is whittling you down (damage reduction kicks in). The rattlesnake heals faster/dodges better.
I like the snake if you have a tough offensive form. Use your lion or similar to blast out some damage, then flee, shift to snake and move around a bit. Re-engage with li
There is a risk when using devils that they will become unhappy. Deal massive damage to the conjurer then leave. DOn't let the devil re-engage you over and over as you flee. It becomes very happy and will be throwing maladicts like crazy.
If you can't beat the conjurer in a straight up, work on letting the devil slip back from happy to neutral...to pissed off.
I've had les
I really enjoyed writing Mogrin's role. It was a deviant drow water shifter. Check out officials. Felt totally let down when the forms did not play out better. The changes to water shifters made it unplayable.
Except they are handicapped with role restrictions. (alignment)
A decked out maran conjurer with a lesser-archangel, and ABS on a stick is quite deadly. Add to that tesseract, clairaudience, clairvoyance, and maran powers....makes for a pretty tough foe.
Try playing a human goodie, using only angels. Play agressively, and you will find your range outclassed. At hero things get tougher
Your devil provided you barrier, aura. No shit...you don't need a barrier or aura wand when you are using devils.
More effective would have been a mors-gravis and earth elemental. Then you can make use of ABS, and word when the villager is under half-health....and gaunt him to a place he can't escape easily.
But why were orcs suddenly banned from joining cabals. In theory it would be cool to see some Imperial Orcs or Scion orcs.
Was there some abuse going on? I remember some battle orcs which were pretty tough.
Kids, wife, work...life. CF is a negative drain if you commit to it with more important things going on.
Its impossible to bring back the 'glory years'....too many egos and too much dullery to make casual playing fun.
Keep in touch. I am working in Surrey and Kelowna for the next few weeks. Send me a picture of the new spawn. Mine just started walking.
Kind of lame. But they are Scion (evil). The Hapholln was naked as well by the amount he was able to gather. Not the best plan to stand around when evil Scions are out hunting.
There are two ways to look at the situation. 1) Gather some gear and extract revenge. (Which shouldnt be overly hard given that the shifters in question are by no means powerhouses.) or 2) Stop playing and give up.

Area attack spells are good to master too, so you dont lose rounds of combat. (flash, distortion)
The damage reduction on Grizzly and Rhino are amazing (thick hide, deflection). Lion can deal more damage quickly but it also eats damage. Agaisnt tough foes or those with prep knowledge some defense will win you the fight.
I beat up Tigers and Lions with my Grizzly. Including CHancellor of Scion (using TIger) with full ABS and scion powers. Hands down tougher in a toe to toe fight. If I
I mean seriously....the guy is going out of his way to post douche-bag logs to get a response. Then when someone finally kills him(at least post-wise), he gets the last word that he suicided on his own archon.
Kind of made me grin just picturing the little bastard.

There is lag when you flyto/murder/peck. Not sure how many rounds but enough so the person can flee and move a few squares away minimum.
It also drains movement. If you walk to the area exit and take one step, the air form will not be able to fly to you. The air form will either need walk to the exit room and then walk to the new area, or fly up,move to the new area, and flyto you. All inv
.....it was meant to be level dependent as well.
If someone wants to power rank to 47(barrier level) and then spam spells for 200+ hours or whatever the threshhold for barrier is....all the best to them.
I definitely don't have the time to play much anymore. I try to get in a bit every once and a while.
The new system does force you to explore a lot more. This is a good thing when we have new players to introduce to the game. It kind of evens the playing field (although old-schoolers will still have a better knowledge base of magi type places to look).
Unfortunately we don't
Marching in, pointing out words of death, obliterating a lesser undead, and taking what she wants.
Despite all the haters, I still say Ahtieli has done an amazing job with the char. And she does fight. (Alot). SHe avoids garbage situations, but why the hell would she not?
Keep it up...
Do undead take additional damage to spells like 'Disrupt Bone' or advanced softening from 'softening' spells?
Never actually seen this in action through my years playing. Makes sense that disrupt bone might be messy for a walking skeleton.
