If you read any DAMAGE description for knight based classes, it says that shields decrease the damage of the attack. Apparently it doesn't mean anything. Sorry!

Since we're talking about knights, whats the whole deal with their Damage soaking abilities? What does the shield do besides have a 1/6 chance to avoid damage, because it says the shield decreases the effects of the attack. Is the shield's SP doubled?

I believe in return Knights got the "1/6 chance to avoid damage" clause. And since when have knights not been useful? We could always start having enemies that strip artefacts off of heroes. As a passive special. And make them hastened.

OOC: Noted and fixed.

Wait, now I'm confused, what was the "old way"?

Oh, pfft, I thought light didn't damage humanoids! I'll fix that. Thanks, Pala.

Diamond= 24 damage to all enemies. +90 gold. -1 ether) Ellaria downs a Smelling Salts Ellaria- seal Eddie- Failure (6) The battle starts off on the wrong foot as Boomingham manages to allow Yeto to break his defences and take a slash at the paladin, but Boomingham manages to hit the furry mercenary with the hilt of his sword, sending him backwards. Hybros manages to attack the were newt sniper, dealing sizeable damage, then lunges towards Eddie, doing sizeable damage. Dek'ra manages to stun all the enemies and pocket some gold, however his diamond does nothing to the group of humanoids. Ellaria downs another Smelling Salts and casts her Scroll of Sealing on Eddie, to no avail. The battle continues! "Think you're clever, Paladin?"

Thanks Zepher!

Okay, I'm a little confused over something, and it's driving me up the wall. If a Watery Humanoid went up with someone with a weapon that was light, darkness, wind, fire and ice type, would it deal zero damage due to the sword being fire type, or normal damage due to the ice cancelling out the fire.

I thought they were discontinued, until now I realize that I was thinking of the Overkill gloves. Thanks Pandora!

Can someone tell me what the counterstrike gloves do? I'm assuming any damage directed at the wearer is dealt to the enemy as well, with damage equaling the heroes level?

I boy! These look so good I could eat an Octorock. Or something. Looking good, Sandy!

Karie attacks the Undead Red Rattlesnake from the back row.

If you want an example of a PC getting hexed and being charmed to a degree or just straight up working against the party, (sorry for tooting my own horn) Karie has it in spades. Me and Endgame discussed for quite awhile what was going on. 56 is mainly option 1, while 70 manages to be both 1,3,4, and 5. Of course, Karie wasn't charmed in 70, but its basically the same thing. Backstabber.

Not really. The only person who knows about the switch is the hero who was jumped and replaced and the imposter. I love changelings.

Totally. I'd almost do it like a murder mystery: five heroes are called to where ever, but on the way there one gets jumped and is replaced with a double who the party tries to deduce which one of them is the imposter.

Karie gives Noel a remedy from the back row.

I think he means 83.

"If you honestly want introductions, I'm Yeto, and the minstrel type is Eddy the Entertainer. The silent Werenewt over there's Itsuki, and the leprechaun's Lucky O'Caluhan. And no, we're not mad to oppose you. The way I see it, we should get along just fine. We're technically both mercenaries, are we not? We've both been paid to do something for one of the houses, so how mad are we really compared to you? We'll, maybe Lucky is..." "Oh I'm mad alright! Mad about me gold!" The leprechaun cracks his whips and snickers to himself. The other mercenaries look at him worryingly. "The Hinckwells. Apparently they want the sole rights to produce the machine and the prints, and with the blueprints in their hands, there's no disputing where it came from. As well, they're offering you increased reputation with them and 100 gold each." "Which is more they're paying us to stand around here..." "So, what's it going to be lads and lady? I don't got all day- this market opens in a few hours..."

Who goes around without a shirt, while wearing jeans. What a tease.

As the party reminisces past foes and promises kept, they finally make it to the home stretch. The gates to Bric'lin were just around the bend and up the street! The weather seemed to embrace their exit of the city as well, as the wicked winds had died down, as the occasional speck of snow flittered from the sky. The party enters a small market area, with closed stalls all around. One of the few sources of light comes from inside a third story flat on one side of the street, as an uneasy silence fills the air. As the party makes their way through the area, the silence is broken. "That's far enough, lads." A rather motley crew emerges from one of the stalls, weapons unsheathed, but relaxed in their hands. The voice from before, belonging to the hulking, bare chested yeti speaks up. "Right then, sorry to sound so antagonistic, but we'll be taking the Vibrataphone gentlemen. We've got a pay check to keep with." "Don't worry though, there's something in it for you as well. Something our employer thinks you'd be interested in..." "Or, shall we just get straight to the fighting! I'm rearing for you lot to come at me! I ain't getting any younger!" "Lucky, can it! I'd prefer avoiding combat, but will enter it if necessary. So, would you like to hear our offer for the Vibrataphone?" "I swear, we're not getting paid enough for this!" What will the party respond with?

Actually, if Pretzel's a Paladin, and he's into worshipping and willing to pledge eternal devotion to Ennoc, and if he hates undead, orcs, and other shunned upon races, he should really seek out the nearest Order Imperial member and sign up. Good luck finding one though, they're a sneaky bunch.

"Come on you stupid snake, keel over!" Karie attacks the Undead Black Adder from the back row.

Can someone give me a quick description of the Crimson Crown? I know what they wear, but not really anything about them.
