So that settles it. Now we KNOW GMs are evil...
I can't even seem to get my lvl 6 fighter special back, and I have double-striked a whole cemetary full of skellys. Maybe you implemented this already? |

Hmm just levelled it with my first hit on a hell hound. And RM. Maybe this reboot.........
Yes a mean of 25 points off all skills above 5 with a range of 0-50 would be quite cool. But also a little bit evil... |

| As it stands you lose 25 successes off each skill level 4 and above. When i die these days, the vast majority of the time i am ressed by a nearby cleric(such as one i may be on the hunt with, or if i am by myself, someone in a nearby vicinity). I then regain my things, and spend less than an hour or two relevelling anything i want to stay at that point or higher. Yes it's a minor annoyance, yes i can get frustrated if i die, but I don't think it should be lessened. Dying should be bad, and should cause penalties. I don't think they should necessarily be made worse, but I think that it's not hard to get your stuff back after you've died unless you are in aborek by yourself, so i think there would pretty much be no penalty if you died, and i don't think that should happen. Just my opinion. |

Lovely!
Another way to get the fun back into Obie ?  |

| I don't believe loss of success when dying is a good thing, Especially on capped skills and even crafting skills. If my primes were not so hard to level, I would not have a problem it happening on primary skills. |

| So, I re-leveled healing today with 5 successes. Are we to assume this idea for random losses has been implemented? |

I re-leveled Nial's Healing with 3 successes. I'm pretty sure we can say the random loss system has been implemented, Octar. 
Which means Nial's gonna have a REALLY fun time re-leveling his RM AND Parrying...
(Honestly, I think the GMs and/or Jinker changed it when they "tweaked" [weakened] the magical targeting of enemy creatures.) |

Healing's always been easy to re-level, especially if you forget-often you're Always carrying bandages, and apply them more often than you thank gosh the hit wasn't harder.
On the topic Shogun began, I disagree. I also disagree with the GM, Jinker, and nearly all things saying things should be made easier. However, I disagree with them, because they would actually make it harder.
Any attempt to either reduce successes lost would make us more foolhardy, simply. Or, on the other hand, randomizing the successes still-lost, would simply separate us into the lucky (RM, Removing Traps, Parrying, all retained) or the unlucky (not just Healing, Anatomy, and Alchemy, lost). I like the idea of randomness as a reward.
But I don't like the idea of more randomness as a non-optional, potential punishment. |

I agree that max levels should not drop. How about you do not loose your level when you die but you loose everything you were carrying? And if you die a certain amount of times within a fixed time period, you loose everything in the bank.
Someone, please!!! Tell what a foreteller is, where I find one and how do I get him to talk! |
