Helm's Deep. Hell yes.

"Good to see ya' too, Cronk. This is certainly the real Felton, and yeah, lookin' back, Constance ain't been much in the way of help to us."

Atramor blinks at the sudden arrival of others heroes, including the familiar Cronk and De'kra, lead by Felton. His eyes quickly flick back to Constance, though. "My color is 006400 lies with Felton. At one point in my life I might've agreed with you, Constance, but it is clear to me now backwaters like this need help everyone now and again. Like weeding out the scum."

50/50 chance of them working, except for the Scroll of Confusion. I try to keep the treasury updated on this sort of stuff...but I have to ask the same question about the Eye of the Beholder.

Althior is a Humanoid/Demon/Vermin Makes sense to me.

I'm pretty sure I got a NinjaGo one at TRU for $2-4. You could get I'd say at least 9 Uruks for the price of one of the army sets.

That's what I assume everyone's been going with most of the time, but I guess it could use clarifying.

Atramor stretches at long last, two days having been spent cooped up in the hospital. He spins his personalized staff a bit, and chuckles at Constant after her ultimatum. "Oh, for....ya' told me I didn't have to keep you company at Malleio's, and I don't have many doubts that uptight dragon-chafed megablocks of yours would've been thrown out the window by that Chaos Beast without me, Felton, and Hans' help. Removin' our protection from the people, what'll that do? We've saved over half of you so far. Look at the cleric, my friends here had to scale a mountain and cut their way through dozens of guard to save 'im, and they still did it. One screw-up ain't reasonin' enough for us to leave. You want us gone? You're gonna have to drag us out." He glares the dragon knight commander in the ye, fists clenched tight over both his dagger and staff. After a moment, he blinks, and glances at the rest of the party. "...Speakin' for myself, of course...but to be honest I don't see anyone else not sharin' me or Will's opinion."

"Then I'll try not slip some Deadly Poison into your drink by accident, later." On Tarn's dilemma, Atramor shrugged one shoulder, pulling out Ratsbane - in addition to his recently-acquired staff. With careful cuts, he began sharpening the end of the weapon into a sharp spike, brutalizing the once-beautiful Elven craftsmanship into a weapon more suitable to the Witch. "I would say you decide for yourself, Tarn - and I don't mean that in a way that don't help you. I mean it in that ya' shouldn't bind yourself to a way of fightin' entirely based on your past. If I did that, I'd be pillagin' gold off everyone we fight as a Raider. I don't doubt you'd be good as a Shaman, but I think you're better in a pinch actually fightin'."

That's cool. My internet access is going to be somewhat limited tomorrow anyway. Atramor scratches his chin. The silence builds and multiplies in the hospital room, leaving a heavy presence in the air. "...So, when d'y'all we're gettin' outta this sand pit? If we're here s'long as the assassins are still alive, it's just a manner of how we can divide and conquer without gettin' beaten to the floor."

I see what you mean, and you do have a good point. I tried to style the weakness in the class towards its simplicity - note for example, that this class can't use shields, ranged weapons, healing, or spellcasting, while at least one of those is present in almost every other expert class. It's a purely offensive, front-line class, one that you'd have to pump healing into to keep alive. I don't quite understand why you couldn't use single bosses or a group of enemies. They're going to get attacked either way, the Marauder just has to figure out which one would be less of a risk to him/her and more effective to the enemy. The single die roll would kind of put a damper on strategy, in my mind, though. Maybe I should just remove Parry, have the class take full damage. On another note...when do we get to see the Loan Shark class?

There's not a lot to lose, there's just not a whole lot to gain. All of the single rolls (save for Pommel Strike) are about on-par with that of a basic class. The real prize is in how a player strategieses using two weapons - they can halt two free hits, or they can deal some serious damage. Any suggestions on how to balance it, though?

Hmm. Maybe I'll jump on Helm's Deep/Uruk-hai, but the double points isn't showing up.

Damn right. She has a 50/50 chance to deal the Confused effect to everyone present or instantly KO her owner.

Damn it Flipz, you've gone and re-complicated it.

None of them have 3 entirely different shields, and I don't understand a couple of the variations on yours. And I think that you have to tie your classes into a faction in one of your quests, I don't think you'd be able to choose it as an expert class. Perhaps, but it was only on Special Damage. You've added it to both.

Isn't that a little overpowered? You can fight from a range or cast spells in addition to having instant kills and a very complicated shield, not to mention it's pretty unlikely you'll ever get hit. And you'll get filthy rich doing it.

That's what I was thinking. It'd be preferable to Aim, anyway. Does the (+1 per level for classes without base ether) apply to Minstrels, too?

Those are really awesome classes, Sandy, I'm particular partial to Minstrel and Alchemist. Cannoneer looks rather hard to get into, though the bombard attacks look useful.

Nice review. It's just about what I expected it to be. Which isn't a particularly good thing. Accurate, I suppose, and for what it is it can't get much better. Cool box, certainly.

Looks slightly better from these angles, but still rather incomplete.

Atramor shakes his head wearily, squinting in the glare of the camera the light of morning to see the form of Ella. "Hmm? Aye, ask him about his research on the Gray Plague, tell 'im about the journals Wren took, and ask 'im about the Spiritus Intendere."

Still, weapons and artifacts add massive depth to planning out battles. Maybe it's just me. The effects do make it powerful, though.

I would pay these prices for the creatures alone. Fantastic Fellbeast!
