In my world all "once per battle" skills are null and void anyway, but when it's just 50% extra damage (while anyone can crit and do 200% extra any number of times per battle) it's even more null and void, with or without the risk of backlash on miss. Why not wait until the skill proves overpowered in practice, and then nerf it as necessary? Especially considering that it's something that a player based their class choice on.

Bearing in mind that the since nerfed version of Ancient Gamble can add 30 MAG at a maximum, most attacks made with it in the late game will kill the target, since most RES heavy targets have low HP, and most targets with high HP don't have much RES.

I definitely feel that nerfing it was the right choice, and this hasn't been the first time Haspen has changed a class skill mid game, so its not like this is an isolated incident.

I'm just mad cuz the timing of the change (and as you said I based my character around it (and that it was swordstar that suggested it to be honest.))

Well thanks :/

You're welcome.

[Haspen]

Ancient Gamble now caps final hit% at 85.

[Swordstar]

You're welcome.

But seriously why does the fact that I'm the one who suggested it make you mad besides the fact that we'd been discussing how stupidly powerful it was when I mentioned it should be nerfed? Cause if that's the only reason, I guess ok but it's not like I hid what I did. I prayed that when you were still around

[Mopsy]

It's not once per battle I think.

It was pretty op (unless... If it was once per battle. Then it probably wouldn't have been op at all..).

I'm just mad cuz the timing of the change (and as you said I based my character around it (and that it was swordstar that suggested it to be honest.))

I based my assumption that it was once-per-battle on the "Ancient Resolve" skill it replaces. That might be wrong. If it's an at-will skill, then I actually have to agree with Swordstar et al. Double damage in exchange for a risk of backlash that will usually be far below 50% seems like it would be a no-brainer in most situations. The timing of the nerf is unfortunate, but considering this

it's probably something we as players should be expecting. In many cases it's best to learn to do as the Romans while you're in Rome, and make the most of it, regardless of how things would've been done in your world.

My general perspective on disputes like this one is that the GM has the final say on all aspects of the game, and can take the advice of whoever they want. On the other hand, I'm also assuming, and hoping, that the GM will let players debate GM decisions freely, provided that it doesn't degenerate into nagging or personal attacks. Everyone won't have the same idea of what constitutes nagging or personal attacks, of course.

This culture/class clash RP thing is warming my heart and gives good ground for future supports, so you can continue on till Friday evening, when we will introduce the last character (Suzanne) and on investigation you goooo~!

[Criptfeind]

So then, wishlists out boys and girls. I have no idea how much stuff costs, so I guess we'll probably end up going after the more vital to less vital stuff.

I myself am pretty well sated. My book, even a bit beat up, seems like a fine weapon to me. So, heavier weapons for our melee people, an axe for flora, staffs of buffs or debuffs for the healers seem important?

[Twinwolf]

Maybe a dance or whatever the heck performers use instead of weapons for Alissa, but only if we have the spare money. It's not like she'll be doing much but Performing allies most times anyway.

[Criptfeind]

I guess just go ahead and look In character in the market place for whatever it is you guys want to buy, once we know how much money we have and what everything costs, we can decide how to split it.

[Chevaleresse]

Siegfried could probably use another javelin, as mentioned in the IRC.

[GiglameshDespair]

I would like an ailment staff of some description, and to a lesser extent an axe. Ailment over axe, but axe over nothing.

[Gaterhyme]

I don't have any wants for Suzanne's equipment. New things would be nice but naturally not high priority.

I assume we'll want to pick up some keys or lockpicks, but I've no experience with how many we'll need.

[Blade Master Model 42]

It usually takes a significant period of time to burn through a single set of lockpicks, so we likely won't need a second right away.

[Swordstar]

Well she doesn't have a starting set listed, so

[Blade Master Model 42]

Guess that means we buy a set :V
