You probably should have posted this in the Avernum Forum, because presumably you are asking about Avernum. This forum is for posting non-game specific messages. Bows are generally considered to be superior in Avernum (especially the most recent). -------------------- You are asleep. Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be.

There are two types of "Action" that people seem to be considering. 1. "Action" dependent on the speed of real time interactions. 2. "Action" dependent on "strategery". I am not sure Jeff will every incorporate a lot of #1 into Avernum and Geneforge. (Although, arguably stealth in Geneforge is largely dependent on real time actions.) Such a real time system would dramatically change the existing combat paradigm. That being said, it is conceivable that such a system could be implemented to give the much maligned battle creations in Geneforge an edge. If more interaction was required to activate non melee attacks, then the simple hack and slash battle creations could benefit under such a system. As far as "strategery" is concerned, such systems are more suited to war games. Geneforge and Avernum already incorporate some strategy, based on resistances and item interactions and combinations. This could be ramped up a little without a complete redesign of the existing combat system. I would favor this mild redesign. Combat style could be incorporated. For example, sword and shield style would have advantages against missiles and magic (you can block it with you shield), but would not get two attacks like dual wielders. -------------------- And so it goes.

What gloves are better for a servile melee combat character (Primarily played as a singleton): The Gloves of the Savagery or the OrnkSkin Gauntlets? I am leaning towards the Ornkskin for the extra HP. Primarily played as a singleton. -------------------- You are asleep. Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be.

Sorry to double post. I should have been more thoughtful in my previous response. I do find it interesting that Emperor Tullegolar likes this story. It seems to subtlety conflict with previous opinions he has expressed in respect the Shapers in the Geneforge series. As I remember, he was vehemently for the regulation that the Shapers deal out. The regulation of the Shapers seems to be at least somewhat similar to the regulation provided by the Handicapper General. Admittedly, there is an argument that the creations in Geneforge are not “natural.” But what does “natural” really mean? -------------------- And so it goes.

Protcol- Two Quick Sets of Questions: 1. Do you then contend that socialists have a good history when dealing with racial issues? How about human rights issues? I have no answer for the past bad acts of individuals who would claim to be libertarians. (Just like I imagine you can't explain away the grave atrocities committed by socialists in the last century.) I only submit that inherently, the theory of libertarianism is not racist. 2. Do you think affirmative action is a racist policy? I base this question on the definition of racism - "Discrimination or prejudice based on race." It would seem that affirmative action treats people differently based on their race, aka racial discrimination. Dintiridan- 1. Your fact scenario presupposes that America is a libertarian system. I disagree with your stipulation that the system currently employed in America is libertarian. 2. Libertarianism does not speak to equal opportunity, or the statements ii)-iv) that you made. Libertarianism makes no promise of equal opportunity, only people will be allowed to live as they wish as long as they do not affect the liberty of others. I would submit that ii)-iv) are you own conclusions (as racist as they may be). Therefore, in a libertarian system there may be reasons for inequalities between groups of people that you would choose to classify. Inequality is not a goal of libertarianism, nor is libertarianism an attempt to answer the question of why inequalities exist. I think that you might argue that it would not be racial equitable to institute a pure libertarian system in America due to the demonstrated discrepancies in wealth between individuals of different races. That is a different argument, however. I again reject the idea that there is anything inherently racist about the political theory of libertarianism. -------------------- And so it goes.

quote:How does being Libertarian have anything to do with believing black people are functionally retarded? No aspect of Libertarianism suggests any belief similar to that which you have suggested. Assuming that people vote for those who are aligned with what they believe, Libertarian voters do not believe as you have stated. Libertarianism is basically a political philosophy. Libertarians believe that people are the owners of their own lives and people should be allowed to do whatever they want as long as they allow others the same liberty. Further, all interaction should be consensual and voluntary. You clearly know nothing about Libertarianism. In fact, I would say Libertarians in generally believe that all people are intelligent and will make the right decisions if given the freedom to do so and if the societal system of rewards and punishments is aligned with the true free market value of things, accounting for all externalities. I will not attempt to guess your political affiliation. However, I will comment that from the conduct of two major political parties in the US, one could reach the conclusion that they believe exactly that which you have ascribed to Libertarians. ---------------- Try Libertarianism, tastes more like Classic Liberalism -------------------- And so it goes.

I just improved my member number by almost 3,500. I remembered I had an old account. Too bad with two posts I am still a new arrival.
