Welcome to Gaia! ::

but most of the characters using it have 0 attack to start with...

how about, you can only tribute an amount of life equal to your rank in life stat.

So if you had L:30 (6), you could tribute 6 hp/turn.

Does that sound resonable? That way, no matter what your life stat is, if you use the max, you always have 5 turns of using it.

How about a skill or abillity that gives you an attack damage imparement one round, and the next, boosts your attack stat the next.

Like some vampiric skill.

Unwilling Sacrifice (CP4 or 4 Ap)
Cut your attack damage in half, to get a bonus to attack the next equal to double the damage delt.

And about blood dager destroying.

Soul crush (#[x]) -need some kind of cost
Every time an opponent uses an item, spell, or action which utilises a sacrifice of Hp, deal special damage equal to double the Hp being sacrificed. Also, this will also render the item/spell/action void and any other effects will not happen. The latter being a stun effect.

As a brief note to the current happenings in the Dm discussion thread about the recent dungeon argument, I wanted to state my opinion, whether it's valid or not.

From what I've seen Acolytes and minor Dm's do not have the authority to make ruling decisions in this guild.



From this I see that only FARGORE, and GC13 have the capacity to change any rulings period. Thus the dispute in the dungeon should have been resolved by one of them. I also believe that the minor Dm's and acolytes should not be given the authority to make ruling decisions as to the fact that they all have characters within the system. Not to condemn them of abusing the system, but I just believe giving them those abilities would be wrong.

As for DM of Death's point on house rulings, I think thats fine because their characters may not participate in their own dungeons. I also agree with L.A.V.'s point that disagreements about a Dm's ruling, justified or not, should be brought up via PM and not publicly. It's disrespectful to anyone to point out mistakes in a publicly viewed manner regardless of the situation.

I understand that it is an argument regardless, since everything is opinion and can't be looked at as anything but. Master of Gladiators always will have the argument, "it's my dungeon" and that is rightly so. Also it's impossible to offend me by correcting inaccuracies in my argument. In fact I commend you since I didn't notice it.

How would loremaster work?

Would it work with PvP?

And does it give you a permanent spell?

Ummm... Perrian? gerbo's spell specialization thingy can only be set on 1 spell. And you shall only have 3 at a time working... A 2-3CP cost would be resonable, any more would be a waste.

That was the point of Skilled caster.

Eventually all of us could be able to cast twin-blast using 0 Mp! Effieciently cutting our usage to zippo, and allowing summon to be very effective for a mage.

Still, cutting one spell's cost by 2MP for 2CP isn't balanced. Skilled caster reduces all spells by 1MP and costs 4CP. If Gerbo left the ability that way it was before, a person could get that ability right after one quest and become a VERY strong mage quickly with only spending 2CP while some mages have spent countless CP to become strong.
