I have two questions regarding the RPG.

1. What are the use of "List of Fears" and "Worst Fears"?
2. What's the purpose of "Trust"?

Characters with Default Elements will always start with "None" as an element, and will gain access to their Default Element once they reach Level 5.
3. Could you elaborate on this, please?

2. What's the purpose of "Trust"?

3. Could you elaborate on this, please?
1. If, in combat, an enemy is somehow related to a fear, then characters with that fear will have lowered stats.
For example, Rina's stats will be decreased by 25% if she is in battle against arachnids.
Worst Fears, however, halve stats.
This excludes MP, SMP and HP.

2. Trust is how much people trust you. The higher your Trust, the easier it is to get quests, the cheaper things are, and so on.
The lower your Trust, the more difficult it is to get quests, the more expensive things are, and so on.
In addition, the Trust between friends also grant bonuses in combat every now and then. Two party characters with maximum Trust can, for example, randomly inflict massive damage on a foe by attacking simultaneously, regardless of the turn order.

3. Sure.
Most character races have no default Element. However, there are races (and classes) with Default Elements.
Elves and Woses have Nature as a default element, Orcs and Undead have Darkness, Trolls have Earth, 5th Elementals have Quintessence, and so forth.
Those races (and any other races that aren't unlocked yet) also start with NONE as their element, however, instead of their default element.

Characters who have no default Element can choose one element when they reach level 5, and they can change their element at levels 10, 15, 20, 25, and so on.
Characters with a default Element can NOT choose one element when they reach level 5, however, because their race's or class' default element will be automatically chosen. However, at levels 10, 15, 20, 25 and so on, they can choose their element.

All characters, however, can change their abilities every 5 levels.

Does that clarify everything?

I've got a few questions.

1.May I request that my information be updated to have my height as 5'6"? I think that's what I originally intended...which stinks, because I was already the shortest party member. :(

Really. In-game me is shorter than Kushagra. Who's 11.

2.Why is Julio marked as a Paladin and Kushagra, an Elementalist? I thought we started out as Civilians.

3.At what level do we choose Class?

4.Will choosing Element/Ability at Lv 5 be plot-related?

I'll answer that for you.

When I signed up, I gave my class as a Paladin.
So I guess I reap what I sow.

The rest of 'em gave their class as Civilian.(Except for Kush).
Therefore,their current class is Civilian.

But...but...

Quote from: Shane/Tome of Knowledge
Civilians are those who aren't trained to fight. They have absolutely no skills in combat, and must be trained. All characters start off as Civilians, although they can change their classes through special ceremonies or combat training - making this class pretty unique in that they can change classes in combat.

I think Shane meant that they all "start off with that class by default".

Besides, certain character's backstories wouldn't make as much sense if they don't have a class best suited to their background.

Like Kush, for example. Kush would HAVE to be an elementalist, since his race is given as "5th elemental", which revolves around  that class.

Besides, the characters would've appeared in that school the same reason that the temperary character Ashen is there: espionage.

Afterall, some of the characters probably don't need training, as they're experienced already.

That, and certain backstories (like the one for my character) doesn't make that much sense otherwise.

Aww...

So I could have started off as a Battle Sorcer(er/ess)? That stinks. Why didn't Shane clarify this?

He's gonna have a lot of explaining to do.  >:(

He probably thought that you,like Taylor and KarjamP,wanted to be a Civilian.
But looks like he thought wrong.

Oh well, Shane,be ready to explain to Polar.

@v-Ooops. :P

Me, my character's supposed to by a civillian, since he's technically inexperienced. :P

Anyway, My names KarjamP with a P, not "Karjam". (I just love saying that). :P

KarjamP and Dr. Time! I'm gonna fine you two for ninja'ing me! >:(

I've got a few questions.

1.May I request that my information be updated to have my height as 5'6"? I think that's what I originally intended...which stinks, because I was already the shortest party member. :(

Really. In-game me is shorter than Kushagra. Who's 11.
Will do.

2.Why is Julio marked as a Paladin and Kushagra, an Elementalist? I thought we started out as Civilians.
... I didn't even notice :o
Urk. Oblivious am I yet again... oh well, it's a bit late now.

Let's just say that a mysterious portal swallowed Kushagra and Dr. Time and teleported them to Endania while draining them of all their experience points, class points and such. (I guess. That was the first thing that came into my head, so it sounds weird.)

3.At what level do we choose Class?
You don't choose at level.
Your class changes the more you battle.
For example, a Civilian dual-wielding two swords can become a Fighter when he has 200 "Sword Class Points", and a Swordmaster when he has 400 "Sword Class Points".
Every weapon has Class Points.

Weapons have a maximum of 1000 Class Points. Every attack adds 1 Class Point. Class Points cannot be spent. I'll be abbreviating Class Points as "CP".

4.Will choosing Element/Ability at Lv 5 be plot-related?
As far as I know? Probably not. But with me as the Game Master, it's safer to assume that there's a 50% chance that it will be plot-related.

I think Shane meant that they all "start off with that class by default".
I did, until the Curse of Shane struck again. (In other words, I didn't even notice.)

Besides, the characters would've appeared in that school the same reason that the temperary character Ashen is there: espionage.

Afterall, some of the characters probably don't need training, as they're experienced already.

That, and certain backstories (like the one for my character) doesn't make that much sense otherwise.
Objection!
Ashen's the only one there for espionage. The protagonists are unaware of the school being for Orcish Necromancers.
If Taylor didn't decide to punch the principal of the Adventurer's School, things would turn out differently (like the school students being human and such instead).

In other words, whatever choices you choose determines... well, more than I thought it would. :o

Aww...

So I could have started off as a Battle Sorcer(er/ess)? That stinks. Why didn't Shane clarify this?

He's gonna have a lot of explaining to do.  >:(
I apologize for being unobservant.

The weapons that were chosen were mainly for the boss fight against the Principal. Characters aren't forced to use weapons of that category for the entire RPG.
If they find a spear, then a Battle Sorceress could choose to use it in combat.

Also, for a Battle Sorcerer/Sorceress, one would normally have to have a Sword CP and a Magic CP of 200 each...
I think. Haven't thought about it yet, oh well. I'll think of it after I replied to the walls of posts I have that aren't read yet.

Will that do as an explanation? Or has the Explain Nation decided to declare war on me?

Again, I apologize for being a randomly unobservant negligent imbecilic idiotic foolishly foolish fool of a foolhardy foolishly foolish fool of a teenager named Shane.

...

Guess I ought to add a boss fight now where everyone can punish me for being such an unobservant fool?

Also, I'm just kidding about the "fine" part at the top of this post. :P

No seriously.If you've made a mistake,correct it. It's only the prologue right now.
Make me a civilian,then.
I don't want to play against the basic rules.

★Oh, okay...

So Julio and Kush really ARE civilians. This is good. -.-

★Thanks for changing the height. :)

★I guess the weapon system makes sense. It's good that I chose the Sword, then - I can start earning CP right away!

Battle Mage (can I call it Battle Mage? I'm gonna call it Battle Mage.) is pretty much the perfect class for me. :3

And here's another question or two.

1.Does this mean Battle Mage counts as an "advanced" class? Because 400 CP will take awhile to get.

2.My impression of the game's backstory is that the heroes all mysteriously ended up in Endania, became friends, and share a house together there. Is this correctz, or did I überfail somehow?

3.I'm still not sure you really need to make Polar have some grand entrance of some sorts...what do you think?


...don't worry, it's not the Explain Nation, just an overly curious Gardevoir. :P

I've had to update the 5th Elemental race now (Elementalists require 100 CP using any weapon for them, since they are in sync with the elements) otherwise several people will complain if I keep Kushagra an Elementalist (so he'll be Civilian for a shorter duration).

★Thanks for changing the height. :)
I almost forgot :o

★I guess the weapon system makes sense. It's good that I chose the Sword, then - I can start earning CP right away!

Battle Mage (can I call it Battle Mage? I'm gonna call it Battle Mage.) is pretty much the perfect class for me. :3
Indeed.
Means I'll have to update the Tome of Knowledge though :P

And here's another question or two.

1.Does this mean Battle Mage counts as an "advanced" class? Because 400 CP will take awhile to get.
Indeed.
Sword CP must be 200, in order to become a Fighter.
Rod CP must be 200 to become a Sorcerer / Sorceress.

Having a Sword CP and Rod CP of 200 (at the same time) will yield a Battle Sorcerer / Battle Sorceress.
Something like that. As mentioned, I'll update the Tome of Knowledge regarding the CP requirements.

2.My impression of the game's backstory is that the heroes all mysteriously ended up in Endania, became friends, and share a house together there. Is this correctz, or did I überfail somehow?
You can say that. :P
I myself am not sure, however. :o

3.I'm still not sure you really need to make Polar have some grand entrance of some sorts...what do you think?
Well, does "being late for Adventurer's School" count as a grand entrance? :P

...don't worry, it's not the Explain Nation, just an overly curious Gardevoir. :P
If someone plans to Guard a Voir, I guess it'll have to be from a Dark/Ghost Pokémon. :))
(That's just me, though... right?)

★Oh...a Rod, not magic...

I'll probably have to dual-wield a Sword and a Rod, then.

★I'm calling it canon. >:3

★I was late to graduation. :o

I'd say that's pretty grand. >#<

Wouldn't buying a sword help out with the lateness, though?
19 Moneysun on Endania is 26 March on Earth.
Ergo, buying a birthday present would possibly contribute to that.

What's with all these coincidences? First I accidentally guess the Surfacian Unknown race, then I make my birthday the first day of the RP?

Maybe I actually am psychic... :P

... Well. This means one thing.

I'll need to post a spellbook here that is related to Dragon Riders. :P

That, and we ought to make a calender for Endania.
With Prince Shane's permission, of course. ;)

MOAR QUESTION!


It looks like I'm finally regaining my question-asking prowess. c:



So, on the subject of Special and Magic Coins: do these get split up among the party? Are they just a pool for the party to dip into when they want a skill? Or are they given to all, i.e we would each have 10 special and magic coins right now? I don't think this was explained anywhere. :-[



And with the skills themselves:do we post in the rpg thread or the book of adventures to cash in a skill? And do they count as magic?



For that matter, when do we obtain magic?



And one last thing. I like the changes you made to the existing elements and the new abilities, they're cool. ^_^ But I noticed that some of the new abilities have really dull or not many abilities to their name, like Hope and Fairy. Was this intentional, or are you just waiting until you think of abilities?

MOAR QUESTION!


It looks like I'm finally regaining my question-asking prowess. c:
... Yay~
I'll just add comments or add questions related to it.


So, on the subject of Special and Magic Coins: do these get split up among the party? Are they just a pool for the party to dip into when they want a skill? Or are they given to all, i.e we would each have 10 special and magic coins right now? I don't think this was explained anywhere. :-[
Unless this RPG's rules is different from another Forum RPG Shane did, Special Coins and Magic Coins are given to the party to learn/upgrade skills and moves/magic.

And with the skills themselves:do we post in the rpg thread or the book of adventures to cash in a skill? And do they count as magic?
... Or are you planning on making a new thread for that, Shane?

For that matter, when do we obtain magic?
Will we get it when we can finally choose our Elements? I've noticed Ashen has two spells already...
Or do we need some sort of item to use magic?

And one last thing. I like the changes you made to the existing elements and the new abilities, they're cool. ^_^ But I noticed that some of the new abilities have really dull or not many abilities to their name, like Hope and Fairy. Was this intentional, or are you just waiting until you think of abilities?
Speaking of which, are you planning to let us create two more abilities for every element, so that all 45 elements have 10 abilities?

Also, if you'll allow that, please give two certain abilities of the Chthonic element to the Poison element :-[

...

Anyway, my own questions:
1. Will our characters ever be able to have two elements? ???
2. If so, will they ever be able to have two abilities? :o
3. What are you going to do with the last page of the Tome of Knowledge? It's almost entirely blank... >:(
4. What would your character sheet be? :P
5. Is it intentional that the Psychic element has a few abilities from Pokémon? :))
Aidan "the Eternal Darkness" is deceased...
I am still full of sorrow... my boyfriend, dead...

Unless this RPG's rules is different from another Forum RPG Shane did, Special Coins and Magic Coins are given to the party to learn/upgrade skills and moves/magic.
The entire party has Magic Coins and Special Coins.
Special Coins are used to learn/upgrade moves.
Magic Coins are used to learn/upgrade magic.
Both coins can be used for learning/upgrading skills.
Moves, magic and skills have a maximum level of 5.

Blame Grandia II for that :P

And with the skills themselves:do we post in the rpg thread or the book of adventures to cash in a skill? And do they count as magic?
... Or are you planning on making a new thread for that, Shane?
Don't worry. The moment there are enough Coins to purchase a skill, I'll start a thread for it.

For that matter, when do we obtain magic?
Will we get it when we can finally choose our Elements? I've noticed Ashen has two spells already...
Or do we need some sort of item to use magic?
Well, magic is unlocked at level 5 when you gain your Element.

And one last thing. I like the changes you made to the existing elements and the new abilities, they're cool. ^_^ But I noticed that some of the new abilities have really dull or not many abilities to their name, like Hope and Fairy.

... I don't know yet.

...

No seriously, I don't.

...

I'm as serious as I usually am. :P

As for the dull abilities, I'm in a dull mood right now. (Financial problems again.)
Either way I lose :P

Also, all elements has 8 abilities, unless I miscounted somewhere.
So when Polaris posted his/her/its questions, I may have been busy updating the lists.

Anyway, my own questions:
1. Will our characters ever be able to have two elements? ???
2. If so, will they ever be able to have two abilities? :o
3. What are you going to do with the last page of the Tome of Knowledge? It's almost entirely blank... >:(
4. What would your character sheet be? :P
5. Is it intentional that the Psychic element has a few abilities from Pokémon? :))
1. Probably?
2. Probably?
3. I don't know.
4. Against the RPG's rules :P
5. Yeah.

On 12 August, 2013, Taylor asked:
4. What would your character sheet be? :P

I decided I ought to create my and Kim's character sheets for a spin-off of this RPG with myself controlling the protagonists and assigning control to other members at some points of time. Of course, I'm not sure if this could work, but whatever. :P

Either way, that question has made me make character sheets.

Polaris!


I didn't think you were shorter than me! I have to be the smallest! I very young for my age you know! (25300)

Yes you might have gone through several Rebirths for that much time but for me I still have like a hundred thousand centillion more years to go.
Happy Chinese New Year to all of you at DRPF!

Rebirths? I don't do that. :P

And if you're so intent on being the smallest, why did you make yourself so freakishly tall? 5'9" is NOT the sort of height 11-year-olds achieve. Still...I don't really think you should change it. I find it kind of funny that I'm the shortest...and besides, you should take pride in being such an imposing pre-teen.

★★★★★
Um, Shane?

★Are you keeping track of the Class Points? I went through the Tome of Wisdom and saw that all of the Class Points are still at 0. Now, we've smacked people with all sorts of weapons a lot by now, and gaining a class takes long enough as it is, so you better be counting them all.

★Does shooting someone multiple times with a gun in one turn (ŕ la Karjam) give CP for each shot?

★Does hitting someone in a cutscene (like the combined back attack on Sarenodrius) give CP?

★I don't really think you answered one of my questions, so I'll give two examples so you get what I mean.

Example 1:

Say the party swiftly dispatches some dodos and we get 5 Magic Coins.

★Does every member get 1 MCoin, or does every member get 5 MCoins? Or does no one get a Magic Coin, but instead the 5 Coins are sort of left in a metaphorical cookie jar for any member to grab?

Example 2:

It's time to get some magic. Polaris wanders off to the thread or whatever and decides to learn Ultima for 5 Magic Coins. The party supposedly has 40 Magic Coins, and this is the first purchase.

★If Polar learns Ultima, how does this affect the number of coins left? Does learning that leave 35 Magic Coins for the rest of the party to use? Or is Polar left with 35 MCoins, while everyone else still has 40?

I'm still confused. :<

Exactly.
Although 5'11" is grounds enough for a fear of heights apparently... ¬¬"
(Not that I have a fear of heights. Yet. I know someone who is afraid of heights, just because he/she is 5'11".)

★★★★★
Swiftly Staryu's Swift striked Samuel's Staraptor swallowing Sadie's Scatterbug. :P

Um, Shane?

★Are you keeping track of the Class Points? I went through the Tome of Wisdom and saw that all of the Class Points are still at 0. Now, we've smacked people with all sorts of weapons a lot by now, and gaining a class takes long enough as it is, so you better be counting them all.
...
...
...
I forgot. Sorry :-\
I was planning on doing it before, but 503 errors prevented me, and then I went and played Terraria.
After that... I suppose it must have slipped my mind. In any case, thanks for noticing! :)
...
...
...
I think I ought to add yet another "system" to the RPG... a "Traits" system. Each monster, character, etc. having one or two (or maybe three) traits, just like Battle for Wesnoth.
... But then this RPG's over-complicated level goes up to eleven again.

[EDIT]
CP updated.

NOTE:
Under normal circumstances:
Normal attacks give +1 CP.
Combos give +2 CP.
Fatalities give +2 CP.
[/EDIT]

★Does shooting someone multiple times with a gun in one turn (ŕ la Karjam) give CP for each shot?
That was part of the combo. All attacks in a combo give 2 CP, unless one of the characters in the party has Classy as an ability, which would mean that combos give 5 CP instead.
Characters with Noble and Classy would gain 7 CP per attack, meaning a Spirit-element and a Nature-element character in the party would be needed for that boost. :P

★Does hitting someone in a cutscene (like the combined back attack on Sarenodrius) give CP?
Cutscenes do not give CP, except in special cases.
What are these special cases? I dunno, sadly. :-\
It could be that certain "mini-games" could increase CP...

Hmm, maybe I ought to do something about it. >:3

★I don't really think you answered one of my questions, so I'll give two examples so you get what I mean.
Okay. I shall try to explain to the best of my ability of randomness.

Example 1:

Say the party swiftly dispatches some dodos and we get 5 Magic Coins.

★Does every member get 1 MCoin, or does every member get 5 MCoins? Or does no one get a Magic Coin, but instead the 5 Coins are sort of left in a metaphorical cookie jar for any member to grab?
The coins belong to the entire party. Therefore, if the party gains 5 Magic Coins, anyone in the party could spend it. So I guess it could be a metaphorical cookie jar.
This also applies to Special Coins - anyone can spend those.
However, the same amount of Special Coins and Magic Coins is obtained regardless of how fast the monsters are defeated. There could be something that changes it, however... I have yet to add more abilities to the elements, and I'm still thinking about it. (Each element having ten abilities overall.)

Example 2:

It's time to get some magic. Polaris wanders off to the thread or whatever and decides to learn Ultima for 5 Magic Coins. The party supposedly has 40 Magic Coins, and this is the first purchase.

★If Polar learns Ultima, how does this affect the number of coins left? Does learning that leave 35 Magic Coins for the rest of the party to use? Or is Polar left with 35 MCoins, while everyone else still has 40?
The party would have only 35 Magic Coins to use.
This also applies to Special Coins - I'll be giving an entirely random example: if Richard chooses to learn Tenseiken Slash as a Fighter character, he'd need 24 Special Coins.
If the party had 30 Special Coins, and Richard spends 24 Special Coins, the party would have only 6 Special Coins remaining.

(I'm not even sure of the possible moves and magic that the heroic protagonists can learn yet, other than the spells that Ashen has.)

I'm still confused. :<
I hope my explanation helped! Otherwise I'm going to fine myself until I run out of money.
... But then again, the Otherworld campaign hasn't started yet. So I can't fine myself or run out of money.

And if you're so intent on being the smallest, why did you make yourself so freakishly tall? 5'9" is NOT the sort of height 11-year-olds achieve. Still...I don't really think you should change it. I find it kind of funny that I'm the shortest...and besides, you should take pride in being such an imposing pre-teen.

I hate google. I typed in 5 feet 1 inch but what is up on google. Someone please change my height in meters (I don't know how to convert.)
Happy Chinese New Year to all of you at DRPF!

According to a height converter, 5 feet 1 inch  is about 155 centimeters, although I'm not sure if it's accurate.

Alright, I see. I guess that all makes sense. ^_^;

As for the Traits system...I personally don't think you should add it. I know you're a fan of quantity over quality, but you have to remember to keep things simple, as well.

And one other thing. I noticed that the Tome of Inventory, as well as a few others, aren't updated...

I understand you're busy and can't update it so quickly...so I'd like to make you an offer you can't refuse.

If you'd like, and if you'd be willing to let me write in the tomes, I could do my best to update them whenever possible. I'm on here a lot more than anyone else, I could post in a special thread or something to let you know when I'll be editing a Tome, and any changes I make that you don't like could easily be reversed by you.

And even if I'm lazy or slow, I can't possibly make the process of updating any SLOWER, can I? :P

Tell me what you think. And on a side note, go ahead and PM me the dialogue I was supposed to edit so long ago so I can do it there. I haven't been living up to my promises and it's been irritating me... :-[

Shane, why don't you leave the Traits system for the Otherworld campaign, if you really want to add it?
You're complicating your own RPG too much! You said it yourself, didn't you, Forum Prince?

Alright, I see. I guess that all makes sense. ^_^;
And then it stops making sense once Magic Coins and Special Coins end up becoming useless... :-\
Of course, one would probably need to reach level 100 or higher to get useless Magic Coins and Special Coins, considering moves, magic and skills are all maximum level 5. (In other words, a character with Ultima can level the spell up to level 5 using Magic Coins.)

As for the Traits system...I personally don't think you should add it. I know you're a fan of quantity over quality, but you have to remember to keep things simple, as well.
More like, a fan of "complicated over simple" :))
I'll do as Taylor suggested and keep the Traits for the Otherworld campaign, though.

And one other thing. I noticed that the Tome of Inventory, as well as a few others, aren't updated...

I understand you're busy and can't update it so quickly...so I'd like to make you an offer you can't refuse.
Busy...? I'm supposed to be busy... but right now I'm lazy :-\

Anyway, I think the last time I updated the Inventory tome was after Sarenodrius was defeated.
I'll update it as soon as I've finished reading and replying to all unread posts.

...

Anyway, I'll think about the offer.

If you'd like, and if you'd be willing to let me write in the tomes, I could do my best to update them whenever possible. I'm on here a lot more than anyone else, I could post in a special thread or something to let you know when I'll be editing a Tome, and any changes I make that you don't like could easily be reversed by you.

And even if I'm lazy or slow, I can't possibly make the process of updating any SLOWER, can I? :P
I shall think about the offer.
One solution is to give you moderator privileges to the Tomes board, but I'll need KarjamP and Taylor's opinions. After all, they're members of the forum staff.

Tell me what you think. And on a side note, go ahead and PM me the dialogue I was supposed to edit so long ago so I can do it there. I haven't been living up to my promises and it's been irritating me... :-[
... Uh. I kinda forgot to get all the dialogue out of Hope of Shané: Frost.
Looks like I have a lot of work waiting for me, then. I should start as soon as possible, because if I postpone it any longer due to forgetting about it the mod's progress will go all the way backwards until it becomes version 0.1...

You're complicating your own RPG too much! You said it yourself, didn't you, Forum Prince?
... Well, I actually like over-complicating things, apparently. :o
Or playing extremely difficult video games.........

... How does one say that, "Star Polaris Star"? :o
I don't even know how "Mask☆DeMasque" is pronounced.

Joking aside, I know that the Tome of the Elements hasn't been updated yet - I still need two abilities for each element.
  • I'm thinking about adding an ability or two that changes the amount of Magic Coins or Special Coins gained somehow. Maybe increase the MC or SC obtained by a few points on a certain condition?
  • And maybe add an ability that negates other abilities, or changes how Super Effective, Not Very Effective and so on are affected?

Also, the Tome of Events is deliberately left empty, I plan on updating it once per chapter. And it's still in the prologue until... well, Ashlight City is reached, I suppose?

The Tome of Monsters, I forgot to update.

Any other tomes I forgot to update? ???

Tome of Knowledge: Pg 6,7

Before Shane updated them, Tome of Inventory and Tome of Monsters

And lets not get into all of the Table of Contents pages. @_@

Okay, I've updated pages 6 and 9 of the Tome of Knowledge (those two pages are obsolete due to the Tome of Inventory and Tome of Combat).
I updated the Tome of Combat regarding the CP gain of Combination Attacks and Fatalities (I'm not sure what's missing; however, I suspect that it could be Status Effects that's missing) and also the Table of Contents there.
I also updated the Tome of Psyche's table of contents, and the Tome of Monsters' table of contents, and also the contents of the Tome of Inventory.
And the contents table of the Tome of Events.

Did I get all of them?

I say we make Polaris the "Tome Keeper".
I mean, there's an unused user group, isn't there?
We could use that for the Tome Keepers.




Could we make suggestions for new abilities, Shane?

Tome of Knowledge: Pg 6,7
Taylor modified the post of page 6; as for page 7, the quest is merely to get to Ashlight City...

Tome of Combat:Pg 2
This might be a stupid question... but what's missing from the Tome of Combat? ???

Before Shane updated them, Tome of Inventory and Tome of Monsters
Is anything missing there? I believe I've added everything that was obtained previously, save for the current battle that's taking place.

And lets not get into all of the Table of Contents pages. @_@
Uh, yeah, I was a bit lazy :-\
I apologize for not updating the first page of all the Tomes.

Ah. I did forget about the Status Effects thing; I'll work on it tomorrow, if I get the chance to and if I don't get ambushed by the evil warrior chief that is biologically the father of a 17-year old teenager named Shane. :-\

Did I get all of them?
Yep, looks like it. All the Tables of Contents exist. :)

That could work...
I have thought about it while I was playing a bit of Ace Attorney Investigations (I can't spend too much time writing the dialogue of Hope of Shané: Frost in a Notepad file, my hand hurts and my left arm still hasn't recovered yet)... and my answer to Polaris' question of helping out with the Tomes... is not no. In other words, I agree. :P

I still need the opinion of KarjamP though... so what think you, global moderator?

Could we make suggestions for new abilities, Shane?
Make a thread in this board titles "New Abilities (2 per element)" and make suggestions there. ;)



Thank you Polaris and Taylor! :)
I believe I owe you two a debt of not only gratitude, but also extreme gratitude.

I was indeed referring to the status effects. It's the only thing I noticed was missing.

And thank you so much! I'm glad you agree. ~^_^~

Now let's hope old KarjamP thinks it's a good idea, too. :))

Besides, we're glad to help you. :)
