Annie loaned him a book in the Hall once, so he likes her! And I knew Vind and Milderun before you did.

Give him a day or two. I felt like saying something, but wanted to see where it was headed/if he course-corrected. He's only been QMing for 24 hours... and he has 3 veteran QMs in the party to tell him if he's being too excessive. That being said, already loving the dynamic of 131. It's like a "Heroes Junior" reunion. (Heroes Junior is what I'm calling the "newest generation" of heroes. ).

"Yo, it ain't being a giant, it's this friggin' heat, I'm sweating balls over here. It's never been this hot in Eubric, yo." Bobby sneezes in the sun. "Last quest I was dealing with snow, god damn! Ah well, I'm sure I'll dig it soon enough. What's up, my man Steve Hill! Bobby Young Bucks Jr yo, it's rad to meet you!"

I think the per target cost would be better, personally. I think it would be a better way to still give the class the punch it needs to continue being THE support class, but would still make you take off some turns as opposed to others. Forcing minstrels to attack occasionally wouldn't be a bad thing - and it's not like it would radically nerd the class, because ether cores (especially at high levels) would still allow the class to function mostly as it is, just for a bit of a steeper upkeep cost. But maybe I'm just grouchy. I've played Paladin for so many years, and I think it's an extremely well balanced class because sometimes I love it and sometimes I'm frustrated by it. I can always protect my party, but there's simply no way to be a heavy hitter with that class because you only get a 1/3 chance of landing a punch. That's balance to me - a unique strength, and a weakness that levels it out. I just feel that some of the classes don't have a leveling weakness. And of course I know it takes time to level out classes - some of these we're just really starting to see in play, even though they've been published for so long! I think we've finally gotten extremely level advanced classes across the board, but obviously that took us years! So just trying to iron things out!

Some class suggested changes (not really fully formed ideas for some of them, just some notes): Minstrels - Minstrels are insanely over powered. We saw it in 121, and we're seeing it again now. I would like to commend Chromeknight immensely for playing along with me and not using the songs that are incredibly powerful... but quite frankly, I don't think it should be on Chromeknight to neuter the class. The ether costs of ALL the songs are simply too cheap, and the class itself has massively outclassed scrolls (for example: Nanny's Lullaby costs 1 ether to put all enemies to sleep FOR CERTAIN, whereas the arc scroll of sleep costs ether x # of foes for a 1/2 chance). I think, and I know this has been proposed before but it seems the fairest solution to me, that the ether costs should be proportional to the number of foes/allies. It would be a little more math, but it would certainly balance the class a little bit more without taking away any of its abilities or its niche. It would just make the minstrel have to strategize a little bit more, same as scroll casters, but still give them an edge of scroll casters with their likelihood of success. And again, Chromeknight has been so incredibly decent about things it makes me sad to suggest that we harm the class. Sorry, Chromeknight. Alchemist - This class has less of a problem, and like I said elsewhere I know Guts is a BAD example of what a class might actually play as. I know we've already nerfed it, but its ability to make gold AND get a massive discount does seem wild. Take, for example, an alchemist with 30 gold, 10 bombs, 5 artifacts and 5 weapons [that's less than most players have at this point]. They can buy 10 potions, so they do. They just have to roll a single 4 in the entirety of the quest, and they've made their gold back. Let's say they roll it three times (again, an underestimation). So they go back to the market with 90 gold. They buy 30 potions. Even if they used all their potions last quest, they now have 50 items. They now only need to roll two 4s to make a profit. See the issue? I like the 4 roll for the class a lot. But it's just too easy for them to grow gold, and that will make them seriously outclass clerics and any buffing class extremely quickly. They can already create powerful and expensive items. That saves them gold already. Those are the only two that I really see a distinct problem with for the time being, but I haven't been watching all the classes, just a few. I think also that theres no reason to keep the dragoon disobedience clause - I understand what you were trying to achieve and like what you were trying to achieve, but it's not working the way you intended it I don't think. Basically it just says "get shadeaux rep by level 30 or don't bother with dragoon" not "dragoons need to be committed". That kind of stinks, because it makes people who want to go dragoon wait around for quests, whereas no other class has to do that. I don't really understand what it brings to that class, either as a negative OR a positive. It just hurts people trying to gain access to that class. Also, and I know you share this opinion because we DID up the ether costs recently, but it is nearly impossible to use up someone's ether over the course of a quest after they get past level 20. At a certain point this means that mages automatically outclass rangers, because they have burst damage and back row and elemental, and their ether doesn't hamper them, which is supposed to be the downside of that class. I see this as an issue with all mage/ether based classes, minus weather mage and necromancer. It's the same issue appearing in Minstrel. Anyway, those are my thoughts. I feel, personally, that classes shouldn't get "better and better" - well, they should, but not so steeply. I think we should aim for "more specialized and specialized" which means a) greater strengths (which we have!) and b) greater weaknesses (which I think are lacking in some classes). I think there are a lot of classes that succeed at this: (my favorite example being the barbarian-advanced classes with their "counter" or the black knight with their lost health being added to their level... things like that!) but I think there are some with too many perks without the proper disadvantage.

Avery twiddles with a knife, staring across the holy barrier at Bella. "These angels take all the fun out of things, don't they?" she asks with a faint smirk.

Bobby shrugs off his coat and sweats profusely, waiting for his pals to finish up.

"Vind!" squeals Bobby as the air is nearly crushed from his lungs. He is placed back on his stool all red faced. "And Annie. Yo! The gangs all here! Dope!" "Tight that you got to go back. How is everyone doing? Good, I hope. It's still a grade A bummer to me that we couldn't make peace there." Bobby grins at Vind. "I'm a bit braver now, yo. Especially now that I know that the giant lizard dudes are rad. The boss man." "I've just been chilling round the city, seeing the sights. I gotta meet the Hinckwells and the Shadeaux. Dude, my mom didn't even believe me when I told her, yo. Crazy the shiz Heroica allows you to do, know what I'm saying? It's a good life, yo."

"Oh, it's aight, you know! Just saw my fam for a while, they're hanging in there." Bobby takes a sip of his drink. "How's everything with you, yo? Doing some groovy goodness out in the world?"

Bobby strolls back into the Hall after a visit at home with his family. He pens his name under Quest 131 and 132, a happy grin on his face, and bounces over to the bar humming that infamous Carly Swift song. He glances around as he orders himself a drink, noting a few friends but chilling at the bar for the time being, seeing who might approach him.

All joking aside, I'll be interested to see how Hybros fares. There are some classes I think need serious nerfs still, even though it's always unpopular I feel like it makes the game more fun (and I'm not sure if Alchemist is one, Guts is obviously a bad character to judge that off of). But since no one ever listens to that opinion I just generally don't bring them on quests and hope to not play alongside them. (Not that I feel the players are doing anything wrong by playing the classes, they just take the fun out of the battles for me! It's particularly sad when it's players I enjoy playing with).

OoC: Have re-worded Oko's special. It should imitate Guardian Angel exactly (for obvious reasons) so it also grants immunity to negative effects. If you are vehemently opposed, I'm willing to talk as always. "I'll finish him, then. Stand aside." "You make it sound easy, sister." Round Five Angels and Conquerers Battle >Samuel v.

Damn bones! Never thought I'd see them so well used.

Yu Shu and Kiray are able to rush to his defense, with a great roar signifying the return of Yu Shu's angel. Yu Shu drags him to safety and faces Kiray as their foes slowly wake up. "I understand why the Monk wanted me to attack without my weapon that round, but we need to start executing these foes, or they're going to hit us hard when our angels can't stand this realm any longer." "I swear, the next move I make will be deadly," says Avery with a sly smile. "What do you think, Kiray. And we're going to have to deal with Oko sooner or later."

I should have read the manual! I just was a little confused because Eubric is a walled city. I guess this particular house is both inside and outside the walls, though. Why not? Magic! Wiki.

Very cool! Great colors and shading, especially the head and neck (the beck is extremely nice where it meets the rest of the head). I like the design for the eyes too! The end of the wings/the back are a little blocky in comparison. Smoothing that out would be a good step forward for this MOC, I feel, especially considering how organic the head area is.

Also love how many times Hybros has gotten this, and how matter of fact Guts is about it. I can never figure out their relationship either. They seem like good friends, but I remember them really really bitter at the end of 72... and I'm embarrassed to say I haven't tracked it since then. Also, just a question of curiosity for CutCobra, where exactly is the 'Eubric Forest'? EDIT: :thumbup: Also I missed McCaffrey leaving. Interested to see where it goes.

I love Guts' new look too. He's always been on an interesting path - I love his dreams of King of Eubric, it makes so much sense for his character, and he looks more and more the part all the time.

Just because I wasn't around to say how excited I am, I'm excited.
