New recalculated time

So are we calling these new points.. 'Sort of Hero Points"..?

Since anyone who liked to save their HP for time based skills might as well use them for the extra damage or Health..

I can see the usefulness of a reduced time but it is by no means as heroic as instantly using a skill to save yourself or someone else..

Also I would love to know the Instant kill skills i think it was Nelkie mentioned that this change supposedly stops?

In the old rules you could do

instant 30 magic
instant magic sleep
instant 9 damage
instant 9+ knockout
etc..

the main ones are the instant 30 magic and 30 magic sleep. Very nasty!

Yes.. nasty.. two whole bad skills... Also dang heroic when used too.

So why change the rules for 1 or 2 skills.. ?

Because we allow PvP in the game it is esential that skills are balanced so we do not have insta kill abilities. This makes some PvM situations possibly less heroic, but at least you don't have Corbyn heroicly killing people.

I know it wasn't an instant kill, but for the record, someone swinging 9 crush will get you dead in a real hurry.

Yeah the scene I actually wanted was for about 4 of you to come to him and tell him he was under arrest and to give up his post as Elder and for him to turn and say "I am Final Haven:" then pull out some Dark Lord light saber butt on you guys.

I thought that would have been a cool scene.

I really was expecting to use that line.

30 magics were broken when we pointed Nelkie at specific characters just to one shot end them.

As for the "sort of" hero points, it's my understanding that the new repopable hero points will replace the old ones entirely, with the excetion of ones handed out, which would still be single use (but follow the curent rules in the book still).

and I am the Fishing village.

Also there wasn't a ruling against reducing 'anyone can do them' skills, so > instant binding + killing blow

Under the 'Discipline' chapter in the rule book, it states that Disciplines can be unlearned but Paths cannot be unlearned. There is no mention of Advanced Skills or Hero Points. So...

Is selecting a Hero Point group permenant like a Path, or can it be unlearned like a Discipline?

How wonderfully complex.

I'm gonna say, no you cannot unlearn hero point skills, but perhaps through our beta testing that will change.
