"You are just contradicting yourself. You have just shown that you will stop at nothing to reach your goal. You are like all the rest, and just to prove it, I am going to end this right here and right now... heheh" Hybros drew his sword in preparation for battle.

No, I think he's good. It definitely offers some good opportunity for roleplaying, even if Heroica has already seen more than it's fair share of homicidal maniacs with some sense of liberation about them. Not that I blame all of the QMs who've done that; 2/3 of my quests have done that as well.

"I have not. I speak from many years of experience on the surface of this world, and though people like you try to change the nature of this world, you only bring it closer to realizing what it truly is. You can not change the way beings think; greed and lust for power are ever-present. You speak of apathy and ignorance, but I am not the who pretends to serve justice in the face of death and deceit." Hybros coughs. "You may not have plunged a knife into another's chest, but there is still blood on your hands. The poisoned people gathered here, those that you have hired..." He indicates the pile of bodies next to the stage, and grips the staff of his scythe. "You can not possibly claim to be doing good here, let alone fake innocence. No... you are a coward."

So, bold proposition here: let's just remove positive effect-giving consumables from the Marketplace. Make Nostrums and Smelling Salts actually worth something. Devalue a Rogue's (still) massive income a little bit to value buffing SHIELD skills and any other situation in which a positive effect is given. As someone who plays a Rogue I am all too familiar with how easy it is to buff yourself to invincibility, and if every player does that, it makes battles very difficult to balance without relying on the overwhelming of Free Hits. If we made positive effect consumables less available in the Marketplace, and only dropped Nostrums, Meads, etc. from enemies in quest or for sale in quest-only locations, I feel that a lot of classes and skills would become more valuable.

Those look pretty good, Sandy but I still would like to see some options that I suggested put into play: You say that you want the Veteran Classes to be less versatile but more skilled in the basic abilities than Expert Classes, so I think these ideas, with the options to Revive/Ether Drain/Block for High Clerics/Archmages/Guardian Knights, respectively. These skills offer options that don't necessarily add versatility, but reinforce what the essence of the Basic Class is, so to heal/cast spells/tank more effectively. That said, I do really like the buffing involved with the Veteran Class job traits (Fellowship of the Forest, etc.). Those definitely offer opportunity for advanced party tactics.

Hybros frowned. Who knew such a simple escort job could become so heavy? He listened carefully to the man in white, shaking his head intermittently as he did so. "You speak of greed, but surely you are not so ignorant to deny what you have just witnessed. If you really have orchestrated this entire event, then you realize that greed is sentient in every being, rich or poor, powerful or weak. You have shown that today; every one here looking for a cure poisoned themselves for just a chance to obtain something that they truly desire. If you are trying to prove that the Guild is selfish and unforgiving and that their victims are innocent, you have failed miserably..." He turned to Guts. "Do you see, Guts? We are all too familiar with those who wish to start a revolution. It does not matter who it is or what they stand for... Heroica, the Red Assassins, the Crimson Crowns, this man in front of us, your own cause... they are all the same. They all wish for justice or liberation, but no, I have seen the world. The constant fighting, the killing the stealing... all in the name of these things that we strive for. You believe that your own cause will reach its goal through better means, but no... no. In the end we all reach the same place. And it seems that the more we strive for change, the farther we get from it." Hybros shook his head, and began to speak less directly to Guts, and more to the other party members and the white-clad men in front of them. "There is no justice to be had, there is only death and lies and deceit. Your masquerading around, performing these... these... sins, in the name of justice, only makes them worse. Best to rid ourselves of such deception and begin to focus on what truly lies in front of us. This man is like any other zealot, and will not repent until his goal is realized. It may never become realized, so who are we to decide whether or not to stop him? It is simply, the beliefs of one organization against another." Hybros nodded. "Yes, Thalion, you are correct about tyrants and power, but do not assume that these people are pure of greed just because they have no power."

Agreed. Although this still does not solve the loophole because poison and deadly poison still exist. Granted, those are slightly harder to inflict since you'd actually have to hit the enemy to poison it.

Hybros rolls his eyes, but stays silent. He was ready to listen to whatever the being had to say.

Hybros also switches his Blessed Amulet for the Black Hat, and tosses the Amulet to Guts.

No, the Decoy only takes damage from Free Hits.

"Well then... well done! Hehehe..." Hybros quickly downs another Nostrum and Mulled Wine, lest another attack comes from nowhere. He also hands Red five Potions, five Grand Potions, and five Health Cores. "I will be needing those back eventually, but just in case..." "Oh, and, er, Maurice, you should put this Phoenix Essence in that glass sword of yours..." Hybros then goes up to the stoic "Masked Man" and pokes him.

Hybros attacks Sicarii A with his Sai, and if he fails to blind him, he will try again. If not, he attacks Chemist E with his Sword of Ancestral Hatred. Red attacks the Apostle.

Those all sound really good. Here are some ideas to add to yours: Guardian Knight (in the essence of being a support class, I gave the option to Block for an ally instead of attacking for themselves) Shield: ??? Critical Hit/Effective Block: Deals damage equal to 2x WP + Level. Optionally, can Block for an ally, reducing their damage taken for a round by 1/2. Hit/Block: Deals damage equal to WP+level. Optionally, can Blcok for an ally, reducing their damage taken for a round by 1/4. Tank: Reduces all damage to self to 0 for the current round. Advanced Deflect: Takes damage equal to enemy's level -SP. Has a 1/3 chance to deflect the attack completely. Special Damage: normal High Cleric: Shield: ??? Critical Hit/Great Arc Heal/Complete Revive: Critical Hit/Arc Heal to all allies 2xWP +lvl (costs ether=allies healed)/Revives targeted ally with full health (3 ether) Hit/Arc Heal/Strong Revive: Hit/Arc Heal all allies WP+lvl/Revives ally with half health. (2 ether) Meditate/Weak Arc Heal/Revive: Meditate/Arc Heal all allies equal to lvl/revive ally with one health (1 ether) Damage Special Dodge Archmage: Shield: ??? Critical Hit/Great Arc Spell/Great Drain: Critical Hit/Arc Spell=2xWP+lvl (ether=# of enemies)/Drains ether=enemy level x2 Hit/Arc Spell/Drain: Hit/Arc Spell/Drains ether=enemy level Spell/Drain: Spell/Drains 1 ether Damage Special Damage For the Sylvan Ranger, I would like to see Waterbrick Down's idea of a "far back" row put into use, where the Ranger would take 1/4th damage and deal full from two rows back.

QM Note: MDM is correct, thank you. And sorry for the confusion. The post will updated accordingly.

I would be in favor of positive effects lasting 10 rounds. Although the current UQers have been awesome by not abusing the wait-out strategy, it can break a battle.

"Demon-spawn?" Hybros wondered why everyone thought he was kin to the likes of Mephistopheles and Zoot. "Monstrosities, you say? At least I have a face..."

OOC: Actually yeah, you're right. I remember that from another quest now. Hybros attacks Sicarii A and B with his Sai, and Red attacks the Apostle. Panting as he slashed down the enemies with Guts, he looked over to his old friend. "Tired yet? Heheh...*pant* heh..."

OOC: I think all enemies, where applicable, should be Blinded because of Grim Reaper with the Sai.

Hybros attacks Sicarii A and B with his Eye-Poking Sai. Red attacks Chemist B.
