A heretic among my faithful I may be but a wyrmist I am not.

You laid at my mercy long enough for me to have claimed the bounty. Despite the chaos that ensued, of your loyal soldiers Hanson and Ristar assailing me, if your death were desired it would've been had.

You are given something to chase and that gives you purpose. I commend your spirit but I know fully well you are not so daft.

I play no games with the pyramid. Yet they play games with you. They, as gardeners, hope to wield the rake to uproot that which they find inconvenient. Yet a weed I pray you are not. I give you this single chance, for our next meeting as last will not be so kind.

Your death is desired. As is the death of your sergeant, Rhuk Nor the abandoner of his people. The sum of gold offered is great. Yet I find little merit in what it would achieve. Instead, it is the legates that must pay.

The Daughter wreathes in Her miracles those who cultivate and water paradise. She is who shall save this age of calamity.

A single seed, lieutenant. A single seed and justice will be had. And for your head, or the want thereof, 10,000 dinar or legal forgiveness, to see the corruption of the legates undone.

You are not my enemy.

Be Wreathed in Her Miracles.

Rowan the Ashface

I will not deny you this. We will share words. Seek me alone for I will not tolerate any others given the circumstance. The First Wheel. I will find you there. You may call upon me by saying that the Mother weeps.

Be Wreathed in Her Miracles,
Rowan the Ashface

I pray this letter finds you well before my end, be it by my own making or the Wheel's turning.

Rumors abound and plenty, accusations of dire deeds and the anticipation of more to come.

I humbly pledge in this writing that despite the turmoil and uncertainty that you remain one of my dearest companions. Never will I cross you.

Should you hunt for me I will elude you at every turn. Should we meet eye to eye in the dark I will flee.

I kept at your heel to see you safely through our battles, had it ever been needed or not, because I believe that when the time comes for difficult decisions to be made you will rise to the occasion. Do not fall stuck in the mire and murk of the Well's games. Greater things are at work and deep within I believe you know this.

You may receive this as a hollow offer but know it to be true; should you ever have need of me you need only ask.

I am watching. And I shall always stand in your defense or help you deliver justice for this miserable world.

Go Wreathed in Her Miracles,
Rowan the Ashface

sick pc dude a+

He may be Gonzo but he will never truly be gone.

Fun PC man. I look forward to your next.

A great and fun PC to play with.

I enjoyed watching Aeryn plot and conspire and having to simply go along with what was mostly ill-advised plans with the best of intentions.

She took Gaddiel on a wild ride. A master for him that will be very difficult to top.

RIP, diz-e. I have many fond memories of playing with you and I will cherish them long after EfU.

While I think the gladiator system is a cool addition to EfU and was created with good intentions I think, like it has been discussed, that just like other things implemented it has been learned, cheesed and no longer retains the spirit that was initially intended.

I have some small suggestions;

1) As Griff said in another suggestion, the power level (despite the argument of time and supply investment) should be toned down. I don't think any static reward should be as powerful as the deck is.

2) Gladiators offer substantial XP in some cases and makes progressing from level 9 to level 10 much easier than in previous chapters. The XP should be scaled back, at least at levels 9+.

Level 10 has always been regarded as a level that's had a certain expectation for characters that achieve it. I am not sure if that expectation is being met in some circumstances and I do not want to see characters who do not meet these expectations to be rewarded for cheesing or laming content.

3) Gladiators should no longer announce when they arrive. On several occassions I have heard of players opening a conversation with a gladiator so that other players cannot open the dialogue themselves. This is done so that their OOC friends can log in and fight the gladiator. While this won't remedy this completely it will help prevent players from sniping gladiators. And this type of behavior is very gamey a doesn't belong on EfU.

4) No pre-buffing *period*. A player should still be allowed to pre-buff before moving in the arena once in it but players shouldn't be allowed to have their cleric and wizard buddy apply every buff possible before initiating the fight.

The gladiator system is a great system for characters that indulge in those activities and it is static content that helps characterize certain concepts. Though unfortunately the characters that benefit most from this system are characters who otherwise do not engage in this style of play or roleplay outside of trying to make gains in the PvE arena.

I am not suggesting that the gladiator system be nerfed so much that it is no longer worth it but I think as it is now deserves some discussions of simply making it more fair, more sporting and overall better for the health of the server.

Hell yeah dude. Clifford was a great PC. I look forward to your next man!

I think the only change rangers need is for the EfU custom FE bonuses to be pure only and the ab/damage halved if you multiclass.

I suggest keeping the Level 8 bonus the same (Dodge), which will still allow for Duelist fighters to take Mobility at 9 (if they chose to) and to keep the fighter perk power the same (+1 ab, +1 ac for 1 turn if wearing cloth/light/medium armor).

What an awesome ride man. The most fun I've had on EfU in a long time!

The king is good and knows well the worth of elves.

brilliant big dog, welcome to efu forever

and his big black heart

A+ dude as always

This suggestion is sparked by a discussion in the past regarding the limitation of spell schools as well as a recent topic of spellbooks. While wizards are particular powerful, I think it can be agreed that they lack a certain flare of their counterpart. While this isn't necessarily a solution to that it may add some further variety to wizards and maybe some more unique spell choices.

My suggestion is for there to exist Spellbooks IG (Book of Pyromancy, Book of Illusions, etc) that wizards would attune or "study" a spellbook. Attuning to the book would put a set selection of spells into the character's spell list, circumventing spell school restrictions in some cases. A wizard can only study one book at a time.

Examples;

Book of Illusions; Color Spray, Invisibility, Displacement added to spell list,

Book of Pyromancy; Burning Hands, Fireball added to spell list,

Book of Conjuration; Summon 1, Summon 2, Summon 3 added to spell list,

Book of Transmuting; Expedious Retreat, Bull's Strength, Cat's Grace, Slow added to spell list,

And so on and so forth.

These books could also give other perks such as small skill bonuses and maybe bonus feats in rarer cases and maybe even bonus CL to certain spells. The books would vary in power also, from novice finds to master level books.
