[CMP]

And does the 'generic artifact only' thing still apply? It's still killing me that I wouldn't be able to use the Robe of the Archmagi as a Necromancer.

We are officially beyond the point in the Lottery where unfortunately not everyone will win a prize. And it's only been up for some hours...

I also had one more question regarding the artifacts: if a class that the artifact is suitable for isn't specified, does that mean that it is suitable for anyone, including expert classes? For example, the spellbound gloves would be wearable by a Chi Monk and any martial hit would have 5 power added to the elemental-imbued attack?

And does the 'generic artifact only' thing still apply? It's still killing me that I wouldn't be able to use the Robe of the Archmagi as a Necromancer.

The Expert Classes can use any artefacts that do not specify its suitability. So a Chi Monk can use Spellbound Gloves, but a Necromancer cannot use the Robe of the Archmagi. Who knows, maybe there will be a "Robe of the Necromancer" in the distant future?

[Endgame]

We have "Robe of the Elven necromancer", if I recall.

Also, with my luck, I'm going to a win an ether core.

You could always sell or trade.

Beep. Error 404. Does not compute. Does not compute. Critical system failure. Internal processors melting into slag.

I'm assuming it'll be adapted to suit Necromancer, though. :shrug:

I actually like the idea of artifacts still being limited to some of the base classes. I was considering them the other day, and wishing that we had a Barbarian Tensi in the Dastan Trilogy, or that I was still a Ranger, as at higher levels these classes can slaughter multiple enemies which is a valued skill in larger battles. My point is, I don't think any class should be considered obsolete, sure there are some that are more powerful, but there should be a downside to it as well.

[CMP]

Yeah, but the bonuses of upgrading to an advanced or expert class are just way too tempting. The change in gameplay and the extra stats, namely.

Still, maybe there'll be an artifact that Hastens the undead in the future.

[Brickdoctor]

...Suitable for mages and clerics.

Yeah, there was no Necromancer class when I made that item. It's nothing special, anyways, just some extra SP.

I miss the Mage's Shield. Imagine (randomly rolling) a Darkness spell that hit all enemies with WP 13 and level 20. It'd be rather handy right now.

It still seems odd to me that the two classes that have all-enemy attacking Shield skills (Barbarian and Mage) should combine to form an Advanced class that... doesn't. In fact, most times I'm better off rolling a critical hit than a Shield.

[Masked Builder]

I think they already were. No one dared fight CMP when he could deadly poison you easily

I did and I whipped his butt!

[CMP]

Your shield deals damage for some deranged reason there, it was an unfair fight. Remove that bit in the rules and we'll try again.

Maybe it's because you're trying to kill people with a book? You could always switch classes.

Depending on the book, reading them to death to might be more efficent.

Dear Dastan QMs: Please allow this.

I love the heroes that are on Quests attempts to roleplay the ridiculous sight of the pink letters popping up everywhere. Dastan must be under several feet of paper by now!

Good luck everyone

I have requested that I get to run the next round of battle specifically so that I get to write that into the battle description.

[Tachyon]

I want a anniversery medal

[CMP]

"How much for these?" She points to the sign at the top of the topic stall, "Ah, right," He exchanges his bombs for 5 gold each, making 100 gold total.

You had 20 bombs?

[K-Nut]

I had 90 gold beforehand.

[CMP]

Oh. You said you'd made 100. Nevermind.

[K-Nut]

Oh. You said you'd made 100. Nevermind.

D'oh. I can see how that's confusing.

[Zepher]

When will someone host a quest where Swashbuckler is the reward? I want to be that class so very badly. So very very badly. If anyone wants Boomingham on their quest, just put that as the reward.

[Brickdoctor]

Swashbucklers should get temporary stat bonuses for making puns during attacks and making grand entrances to battles.

Yes.
