I did pretty much the same thing, only I used Terror to give me some breathing room when I needed it.

I did clear the windswept farms. I did not do the optional area with this servile.

I don't remember exact stats. Maybe 8 strength at the end, with items. Int was, hrm, 10? Mech and leadership were both at base 10, higher with items. Spellcraft was raised a few times, I think after I bought training. He was a murderous little bastard.

And he was made before the revamping of the character classes where the servile started with four strength.

Had some melee, higher missile skills, a little bit of quick action and parry, but mostly from items.

In my prototype build, Jeff said my combat skills were gruesomely neglected. They looked that way, but with buffing abilities, I'd never miss.

No creations. I think mental magic was 9 or 10. Blessing magic was, hm, lower, but there are items to boost that. Well, I could have summoned creations. I really didn't bother with it much.

He was stealthy, but he had killed a great number of shapers. He may or may not sneak past creations, but he had it in for shapers. I'd scramble their creations brains, make them go rogue, and then run down the shaper like the vengeful little servile I was. Terror kept the masses away from me. I'd walk through an area in combat mode, hasted, and first sign of a monster, terror, daze, dominate, charm, whatever the situation demanded, and then run down and shoot anything that moved. From items alone I had enough battle magic to cast acid shower and the lightning aura spell. And essence orbs too. All from items. Mass Madness when you get it is very nice.

I especially liked the fight with the infiltrator in the servile cultist encampment. Every time he summoned something, I'd make it go rogue against him. Soon, he was overwhelmed.

To beat the snot out of the infiltrators, you need a submission baton and or a reaper baton if you can get one. Then you need some wrack, shackles, etc, and strong mental magic.

Mental magic is the KEY element in this game. More so than battle magic. There are some tough fights. Maintaining control is vital now, no joke. Since monsters can move more than they used to and still tag you, you must shut them down. Terror was probably my most used spell.

The ability to daze and then snipe at will with a baton while blessed and hasted will take you to nearly the endgame with no effort at all.

Shock Trooper.

Much was already said on her either being a weak warrior or a weak shaper. The lack of magic hurts quite a bit. She is well, the challenge class.

Jeff and I exchanged quite a few emails. The Shock Trooper now is a LOT better than she was. Earlier in beta, she started with 2 str, 2 dex, and only 2 endurance. She didn't get many hit points either at that stage. She was basically just a shaper with melee skills, and a strong breeze was more than enough to finish her off. She had 2 in melee, 2 in missiles, and that was it. Her cheap melee skill costs wore out quickly, and pumping those skills left her critically weak in other areas.

As she is now, she does have some strength. She is NOT a true melee class. You are free to pump shaping out the wazoo. It is possible to make creations strong enough that they don't need magic support. Add some dex, crank missile weapons, and you have a reasonably powerful character. She does not do well in the thick of melee, but at range, she can indeed, hold her own. Outfit her with the Tyrant pant thingies, that add +3 to melee skills and vampiric effect for those moments when you must melee, and give her the Captian's Shiv to swap to when she needs to cast blessing magic. And it is possible to shut down everything on the screen with a pack of vlish and a submission baton.

I will stick my tentacle out here and say it right now, the Servile is now the strongest class. Warrior hit points, buffs, mental magic to shut down the bane of all warriors, mobs, and the ability to literally buff themselves up to Godlike levels for melee. The ability to clear 500 or 600 hit points. With strong blessing magic and reasonable investment in melee skills, you can zip off 200 or more damage with a reaper baton. Or go to town with the oozing blade. Most of the endgame drakons were biting me for like 30 damage when they managed to connect, once I had all my protective buffs up and running.

Good stuff I tells ya.

I took a missile shock trooper through the game. Good stuff. Hard hitting. I've taken a warrior through the game too, with both melee and missiles. And the occasional creation. I found battle creations to be invaluable for him, especially plated bugs. 10ap means 2 attacks a round, or attacking one target very far away.

Jeff I think was more than a little suprised when I sent him a save file of a true stealth servile. I had progressed quite a ways in to the game. Melee skills were ignored mostly. Leadership and Mech were pretty high. I had some blessing magic and a whole lot of mental magic. Even worse was the trail of bodies I had left behind. I think Jeff was wondering how I had pulled it off. After some beta changes, I recreated my servile, focused on stealth. Blessing magic, mental magic, and the odd bit of sharpshooting with a baton. To give you an idea of how strong this build can wind up being, I was able to clear all three barrier zones above and below. I was also able to slaughter the Polyphora Posse and slew every one of the infiltrators. I was also able to stand my ground and fight during the prison break.

Serviles are little monsters. They are dangerous and fun. Different. Not quite an Agent. I think the servile could be my new favourite class.

Fyoras are the cutest creations you can make. If you don't like lizards as pets, then you probably won't want the horse-sized sulfur and brimstone version. But if you like reptiles, then the older Geneforge fyoras are awesome.

Would you rather go set up camp and lie down with a slimy artilla, a flatulent and floating vlish, a drooling thahd, a scorpion-like clawbug with an insatiable appetite, or a warm fyora?

A cryoa to me seems far less amicable. Unless you live in the Bahamas, I think having your hand frozen every time you want to pet your creation is a major hassle.

We will make you like us, and make you believe our propulsion system smells like roses.

That is all.

At one time, I had very poor writing skills. Awful. I mean, really bad. And I realised that nobody would ever take me seriously if I didn't clean stuff up a bit.

I can't really talk worth a damn. I communicate usually in a series of grunts, nods, gestures, and the occasional furious growl or roar. My voice sounds like I gargled with battery acid and broken glass. So I tend to keep to my self mostly. The only clear line of communication that comes out of my mouth is usually a long unbroken stream of colourful profanity, the likes of which I am sure most of you have never heard, and should never hear. Long before Ozzy was on TV, I had the confused garbled mumbling fart shtick down to a science.

So, feeling the need to express my self and what my mind has to offer, I turned to online communication to hone my skills and polish my abilities. It has been quite challenging. I still make a lot of mistakes probably. But I see my self as a work in progress. So long as I am not dead, I still have work to do.

Oh, and the talking thing is really not my fault. I have multiple streams of thought going on all at once in my brain. Multiple thought processes. I don't know if I can explain it, but I can think about several things at once. I am ambidexterous, and can use both hands at the same time, and it extends to my brain in such a way that allows me to think about different things. Like, I can use both hands on two different keyboards typing out two totally different things. The trouble is, all these thoughts and happenings in my mind try to come out of my mouth all at once, leading to some very garbled chatter, especially if I am excited or nervous. The only time my brain cooperates as a whole is when I am really pissed off. Angry. And then in one unified effort, it produces crystal clear streams of colourful profanity.

I am somewhat Entish in real life.

My hair and beard are all these garly root looking dreadlocks. I occasionally have twigs or leaves in there. My face is best described as... Craggy.

I have been told I am as immovable and solid as an old oak.

But I don't think this reflects my online posting habits. I am opinionated and dangerous if the right bait is left out for me to play with.

We need Spiderweb Flame Warriors. Like a Shaper. Somebody who creates monsters to fight for him. Agent. Somebody who walks in to a thread and nukes it. Erika Redmark, Solberg, Cheeseball, a Dervish, etc. Famous spidweb characters recreated as flame warriors for the spiderweb community.

I still don't know what to classify my self as. I do not think I could.

I do not see a Vlish entry. A Vlish would make an interesting flame warrior. Obviously suitable for moderation duties, and keeping other flame warriors subdued or in check. And in keeping with all of the latest references as of late, to start a real flame war all one needs to do is strike a match around a Vlish.

Which is of course not advised.

I doubt batons really have much in the way of "brains."

Why?

Because if you tried to fire them at certain creations adept at mind control, they could seize up the baton and cause it to misfire.
