Shaper tend to disdain the use of crystals and leave them to the outsiders. There are just plain wizards apparently.

Are you another account of Captian Obvious?

If not how did I offend you?

Edit: Nevermind, I realized that your post was not aimed at me.

However you can look at the top of all posts to see when they were posted.

Besides you didn't revive the topic, Micael did. ;)

Yeah I guess sapience is a better word for it than sentience, but I don''t think that many people would say that sapience was inherently evil either. It does seem to be the ultimate root of evil though. On the flip side it would also be the root of all that is good. One can hardly call the animals capable of doing good if they aren't capable of doing evil.

Restraint leads to opression.
Self Restraint should not lead to opression. Governmental restraint does. Some religions/sects advocate both kinds of restraint, some just one, but almost any that tend towards governmental restraint seem likely to follow the pattern you describe.

"Do what you want" also leads to revolution. It breeds weakness into empires and is very important in the rise and fall of nations. Part the challenge for any society is to balance "restraint" with "freedom" in an equilibrium so that the people remain "strong" but happy.

Sentient life forms are the root of all evil. :P What animals do is not often considered evil though it may be harsh. So, to eradicate evil in this world all that needs to be done is detonate a large nuke and destroy the planet. Sure the act in itself would be evil, but it would serve the purpose. The only problem is that to destroy the evil you would also have to destroy all that is good.

Certainly but if we started at lvl 50 perhaps, as this would involve no leveling and give you the maximum amount of skills that you can get in the game, but still limit the characters.

Written by Alorael: We tend to get weird, abstruse laws based on equally incomprehensible morality that more often than not comes from religion.
Most morality systems are understandable if looked at in the correct context. This is not to say that they are correct in these contexts, (since I don't believe in moral relativity or at least not in the standard sense) but they are at least understandable.

I try to think of moral relativity the same way that I think of physical relativity.

For physical relativity (or at least special relativity) there are two constants.

1. The speed of light is the same in all rest frames.
2. The laws of physics are the same in all rest frames. (Though from a different rest frames events may not seem to follow these laws)

Thus for moral relativity

1. Something analogous to the first one- not sure how that one would really work.
2. The laws of morals are the same in all rest frames/situations (Though from a different rest frame/situation events/actions may not seem to follow these laws, even when they actually do)

I suppose the two are different in that the laws of physics can't be broken while my hypothetical laws of morality could be. Or perhaps the laws for morality would not be in the commandment type "You shall not...." but rather in the form of actions and consequences. "If you do this, this will happen".
Edit:
quote:
Written by Alorael:
Alorael, who can therefore either blame godlessness, which permits the existence of evolution, or amoebas for the ills of the world. Take your pick.
Perhaps this would work as my first moral constant, God.

And yes this is a very good place to put your psycho babble. You will rarely if ever convince anyone of anything but that really isn't the point. I at least enjoy it because it helps me clarify my thoughts, even if what I write isn't very coherent. ( Or always spelled correctly :P )

I find the non-affiliated game to be the most satisfying. It is also the toughest but you are able to get some powerful stuff still from the likes of Pharington(sp?) and other rogue non-allied shapers. The other advantage of this is that you can go through and kill everyone/thing in the game. Wonderful-

Well you can go through so called "Charitable Institution" or yes send the money directly to the people. The way I have seen this done is to send it to the various pastors/monks/priests of whatever charitable order. Unless the gov opens all packages it tends to get through.

Really?

Japanese Tokugawa-era swords are probably the only swords ever made that could actually behead a man with a single blow (with a powerful enough strike, of course).
If I could make a blade of grass go fast enough I could cut off someone's head with it. Did any executioners use swords? I know the executioner from The Three Musketeers had a sword but I doubt that book is accurate.

I just meant that it would be difficult to impliment(sp?). However if you do start it, I would be interested in taking part in your test run. I know my way through the game(played it multiple times and guided younger siblings through it as well) and unless you write in some weird language not having written with you shouldn't be much of an issue.

However if you find more qualified participants by all means take them. :P

Sounds interesting. But possibly not feasible. It would be interesting to get killed and then wait for your Party to put down the money to save you. I can see mages putting barriers around the fighters and then trapping them in quickfire.
As I said earlier, sounds interesting.

HLPM v1.1.1 released! in Blades of Avernum

Member # 4256
 written Thursday, January 13 2005 06:25 Profile #3
Well considering that with the HLPM you can get to level 250 in a very short amount of time (if you turn the sound off) the disadvantages are waived. And since using the HLPM to change the traits is cheating in the extreme, putting your character to lvl 250 isn't stretching the rules to much farther.

The one I like the best is the last change. No more missing half the time. :)

One question. How could one abuse the HLPM? :P
(since I have to ask I am probably doing it.)

However it will be interesting to play though some of the scenarios with all the disadvantages.
