No, he just.... disappeared.

As a QM, let me tell you how hard it is to roll a Special Damage when the hero is *Lucky.* It's extremely frustrating that nothing happens the entire battle. Heroes just kill every hing and my enemies can't respond. Also, Shields seem more common for some reason, even when not lucky. The whole categories and only a select few effects is too complicated for this game. How will we deal with the uber-powerful heroes that already have tons of effects with immunities and such into their weapon? I am still favoring pulling them from the marketplace.

"Phew..." Alexandre sweats. FX. EDIT: Oops, EW! I mean.

A QM probably shouldn't buff enemies because a hero took Steroids. I rarely do. And removing them now, this instant, from the Marketplace would probably help.

If a hero wastes all his consumables to kill weak enemies, so be it. Limiting the availability will make heroes be wiser about buffing themselves and when.

"Hello Haldor, and the rest. I'm called Ivanova. Yes, me and a few others have met those kind of thugs. We're taken from our land, some from Charis, and me and a few other girls came from Dastan. I think they are behind bars now." Mizuki passes the gold. "Oh my word, Thank you."

FX.

I don't like the categories idea. I think just pulling them from the market is best. That depends on how the QM rolls the dice.

"GW. Let's go back to our progress before."

"Ah, over here." "Uh... hello... heroes...." The girl says awkwardly, but sounding gracious. You all can RP for however long you want.

That makes sense, and logical too. If a knight is too busy hiding behind a shield, or wearing a ton of heavy armor, his offensive capability won't be too good.

"Crap. Go back to Row H. HW lets try."

But the whole point of the knight is to absorb as much damage as possible. It punishes the party for having a tank with great SP. I think Passive Specials and harder enemies are what is necessary. As said above me, it could mean more reliance on healers and Rogues. Because if a knight spends a ton of gold upgrading his shield, he deserves to nullify the damage.

GV.

But that really devalues a knight. He's supposed to step in and defend the weak.

I like this idea the best. Not a lot of enemies are like heroes. (As in, they could inflict some cool effects with their weapons.) I don't think a positive effect amount cap is good. Some heroes have spent money imbuing a ton of immunities into a shield, artifact, or whatever. So they have "Immune to bla bla bla...." Do those count as positive effects?

The party heads to the Vigilum again. "Ave members of Heroica. What brings you hear again?" "I hear you were great as Gladiators."

"Hmm... this is potentially dangerous. Well, I suppose we could keep moving slowly." (I'm assuming that's what we do. Some directions on how the map works would help.)

It was the Roman Legionaire CMF shield. You will see it later in the quest.

I honestly do not support it. I don't see any reason that's necessary for it and I think the game is fine as it is.

Hush up! Or I'll have my draugr raise from the dead again!

Alexandre inspects the corpse. (Sorry, thought Alexandre's question would prompt a search. Also, I don't know where Shoker is.) "Guys, watch my back." OOC: I'm able to post everyday as well.

"Girl you rescued? I don't know about that. I assume she would be back at the Vigilum. Come back any times, gladiators."

Aurellius hustles over to the party. "You guys did great! The crowd loved the fight. You have successfully earned 2/3 positive reputations among the masses! I've heard about you around town and in the forums.... You guys are everywhere right? You only haven't visited the Palace and the City Walls yet. Though the walls are for legionaries only unless you have special permission from Brutus. Where would you like to go?"
