Board is kinda slow... so I have something here...
Just something pretty to see from my side  ;D

[log]
Kromlock bows deeply.

<2204/2204hp 593/838mana 359/359mv 0tnl | WD>
At the top of a hill
  The trees start to slope down a wooded hill. The ground is covered in
a thick layer of fallen leaves, through which grasses and shrubs grow,
well-fed from the rich, decaying leaves. It is difficult to see the
trail now, but it is still there; a trampled line through the leaves
betrays it. Birds, frogs and crickets sing everywhere, though hardly
any can be seen. Off to the side of the scarcely visible trail, there
is a rather large berry bush.

[Exits: west down]
     A small white mushroom grows from the ground.
Kromlock the male minotaur is here.
A brightly-coloured red bird sings from above.

  The farther east from the split, the higher and more alive everything

sort of feel in the air, and the sounds of large things moving around
in the dead forest floor can be heard.

Don't get me wrong but why a title like that? The poor guy is less than naked. Not to mention that your spel penetration feats work too well...

Oh my oh my... nothing about fight is impressive.. and I know his equip sucks... I was just a little shaken by the damage.  :P
And since I managed to log it... I decided to not let it go to waste . 8)

PS: What spell penetration feats??  ;)

darn.. was waiting for something really impressive.. dont name logs like that next time..  >:(

Wow unreal, you were expecting something impressive coming from me?
I'm flattered.  ;D

Btw, you just keep bragging about your gayass manticore and watch it get nerfed the next boot... 8)

When have I ever bragged OOC about the manticore???  ??? All my braggin of manticore is purely In-Character.
What happened here is because of 'polymorph other'... and no it doesn't need nerfing cause its easy to avoid.

right you are Deda, they should be nerfed upwords
all these dodges shouldn't be.
 :-\

Rat is a good dodging form?

Dreadful manticore is superior hitting form, comes from a book and its damn hard to find?

Would be overpower?  :)

Other manuals are just as hard to find. Simple offencive form is already powerful. Manticore is even more powerful. I think only all outcast acts give the same effect in damage improvement as manticore form.

Anyway alters are crap because of lack of forms and only one dam_type - physical.

Right you are!
 :-\

I disagree. They are not crap, they are just not overpowered. Very easy to play. And in PK only suck against HIGHLY resisted to physical classes. And manticore with blinding and holding ability is simply great i think. Got it not so long ago myself and am under impression.

- I think the snail form is overpower  :P...It dodged more then my thief fighting that damn furry bug  ::)

Yep I think manticore should be nerfed up also!! Give it sting of the manticore as a natural ability for free!!  ;D

PS: needless to say I am joking I think... but I will say it  nonetheless.


I remember Ezus was raiding me once and I managed to turn him into a snail... I was so happy until I noticed I had less then the mana needed to transform... then he ran away...  :'(
 

This is before the existance of feats?

After. Log is from January 2006

- and yes, it's not my log

Hey, damage mods for alters could be a nice idea, asy to implement. :) They may imbue their forms to sometimes deal elemental damage, instead of physical.  ::)

... now you talking ...

What with 150 hr/dr I'd vote for drowning damage!  :P

In what will you be drowning him?? Drool or blood?  ;D

I think it's pure bs to give any shapeshifter any kind of elemental damage... Btw, the strongest major form is stag...

Deda... I may be wrong... But I honestly think Kiri was kidding.  ;)

If he were kidding, he'd write something like "FNR"... 8)

Deda, do you want me to drown you? :)
Finally they want to buff up my favorite class which lied in ruins for so long...from my point of view.

And it was ruined by the fact autocasties worked no more in form? Mugaga!

Btw, why is no one whining about druids whose all forms are total crap, no sanc, no malediction or stat reducing skill, and they are whining about poor sanced, hasted, ironskinned alterners???

*opens a book of excuses, and picks one*
Because ummmmm..... alters cant heal in form  ::)


Only chromatic worked in form with good reason, it casted from
aura and not armor it self, so it a BUG if it doesn't cast.

Um, druids have no heal?

Btw, the message is something like "your armor" blah blah, so it has nothing to do with the aura, therefore no bug.

Aleters cant heal in form no healing spells
Druids yes and they have healing spells

Chromatic always casted from aura. If its changed so it doesn't work in form, fine!. But its not OK.

You call cure critical a healing spell?  8)Btw, only evil alterners were "wronged" by changing the armor and i see no good or neutral alterners, or any class, as a matter of fact, crying for their version of the chromatic set.

Wait, you are telling me that we should destroy evils alters chance to rock just because good&neutral cant wear chromatic ? pure crap :)

Besides i managed to sanctify some parts of chromatic about year ago, please tell me that is also changed  :-X
