He can still target enemies.

Edited.

It's fine. No idea how I got that messed up. Fixed. That's how it works when heroes that deal effects attack enemeis, no reason it shouldn't change the other way around. And the Tricorne is Pretzel's, Nessa said she returned all borrowed artifacts.

You can't upgrade armor, Peppermint_M, only shields.

It's on my list...along with a lot of other games I really need to get into.

Atramor winced slightly as Guts invited a fireball to his face. "Arena's down the hall, mates, why don't ya' figure out why, who, and how much you enjoy killin' in there instead?"

Atramor nodded back to the battle mage with a chuckle. "Generally it ain't something I concern myself too terribly with, but hopefully it'll help out my diplomacy - which I swear has gotten better."

It's not as bad as it sounds. Just can't go totally overboard with effects like I did in 51. Kinda miss that lens flare.

I use MS Word to edit my pictures. You vastly overestimate the camera technology available to me.

That's unlikely. My buildings almost never have more than two walls, how else would I snap a picture of it?

I did that a lot earlier on with Atramor. Now I just have him voice them out loud, half the time just because it's pretty funny. I don't think it's lame at all, it fits better with Hybros.

"Good, thought ya' were assumin' I was heroing for charity and it didn't fit with your 'grand plan'. But mate, if all that stuff ya' just said ain't doin' good, I dunno what is."

I know, but I've got so much crap there anyway I figure it'd be easier to do it this way than have a QM sift through all my immunities. Why do I get the idea the oft-wasted former pirate rogue is the only person in the hall right now with a friggin' conscience? Oxymoron.

Atramor scratched his chin, and fed McCafferey another handful of chicken feed. "Count me out, then. I never said anythin' about workin' for free, don't go seein' me as some sort of righteous volunteer - but I like to think I'm a half-decent person most of the time, would've assumed you did too."

Because now Atramor will always mindlessly hate Thothwick. Come on, coming up with a reason to hate Atramor can't be that hard. Losing the ability to heal is totally worth being able to tank and deal damage so well. I'm really glad I was able to change classes before Strivvi II. Now I get to test it out with Scuba's awesome battle descriptions, plus Atramor can make up for his crappy diplomacy in the original. I don't think there ever will be. He's a complete killing machine at this point. Then again, if you get the SOAH's WP high enough....you might get more out of becoming a direct offense class like Infiltrator or Marauder.
