That and the Emergency Essence is half of the users health, Feunghuang is full.

[Cutcobra]

Yay for Tidings! Although I didn't really understand what the Foxtail does...

[Kintobor]

The Foxtail, if I'm reading it right, allows the user to negate an enemies positive buffs when attacking. Per example, if the enemy I'm attacking is encouraged and I roll damage, the enemy's positive effect doesn't come into play. It'd strictly be the enemies level.

So, basically, it's kind of useless unless the enemy has positive effects. Thanks, I understand now.

Yes, but so are many other items in different situations as well. Just imagine being faced with an enemy that is super-buffed, and you could ignore all of those effects. Well, now Mizuki can, at the cost of one artifact slot.

I really got my creative juices flowing tonight, with all these new items popping out of my head. Just made up the weapon drop for Rusalka, as well.

Sorsha could have been so op this fight. But no, you just had to make her plain out useless.

The Plunger can still kill the Waterspouts, just not damage them.

That Foxtail would have been a godsend in the Baltarok fight, not to mention most climax/boss-type fights.

E:

That made me think of something. If someone can deal X damage on a hit, and an enemy is Inspired to have 2X health, and the hero had the Foxtail equipped, would they kill the enemy with a single hit?

So if the foxtail ignores positive buffs, does the skunktail ignore enemy immunities? Such as *immune to sudden death*? Or would that be way OP?

Ooooohh... This changes everything...

Would be OP in the right hands.

[Flipz]

The foxtail is an absolute requirement for anyone on a Zepher Quest.

(Also, will respond to 99 when I can--I'm super swamped at the moment. )

Topic Example

This is what I need to do for my quests so as to not confuse the players! It may be a possibility, although I'd have to learn how to do it, still add effects, backgrounds, etc. effectively. Also it'd be rarely used considering the time it'd take.

Whoever doesn't want the Fox or Skunk tails, Hoke would be interested.

There is no item called "Skunktail", at least yet.

But you're already strong as hell..........

[Palathadric]

"That's not what I meant at all. It's not about the tonics..."

It's about the money of course!

[Khorne]

~Fabian now stocks High Heels and Fighting Boots in his boutique!~

I want a new rule that states I can wear two different boots at once! One Boot of Evasion and one Fighting Boot! Tempted to buy a pair of those Fighting Boots, but I think my Boots of Evasion are more useful in battle, so it'd just be a waste of money now.

[UsernameMDM]

But Hoke wants to be stronger than hell.

Maybe it can drop in Kinto's Shadeaux rep quest.

So....do you want to make a deal for that foxtail?

I'll buy the Fighting Boots and trade them for the Boots of Evasion.

[Cutcobra]

Just become an Artisan.

[Tachyon]

And make the gap between strong and weak heroes even larger ? No thanks.
