Gender---The word gender describes the state of being male, female, or neither. Some languages have a system of grammatical gender (also known as noun classes); while a noun may be described as "masculine" or "feminine" by convention, this has no necessary connection to the natural gender of the thing described. Likewise, a wide variety of phenomena may have gendered characteristics ascribed to them, either by analogy to male and female bodies, such as with the gender of connectors and fasteners, or due to social norms, such as interpreting the color pink as feminine and blue as masculine. In social sciences, the word "gender" is sometimes used in contrast to biological sex, to emphasise a social, cultural or psychological dimension. The discipline of gender studies investigates the nature of sex and gender in a social context. Sex---Sex refers to the male and female duality of biology and reproduction, a process in biological DNA that dates back 4.6 - 3.5 billion years. DNA links back in an unbroken series of sexual reproduction taking forward information to present day. The somewhat similar term gender has more to do with identity than biology. The concept is confined to organisms that reproduce sexually. EDIT: Wikipedia. Sex is the right word.

I go on the "Jedi" theory. The Shapers look for young people with innate magical talent, then they recruit/kidnap them. It would be nice if Jeff could shed some light on this in G4, though. EDIT: You have to remember, even though Shaping is very different from normal magic, it's still magic. It's not some other kind of power. Shaping is just a form of magic.

That would make the game way to easy (in money terms, at least). To expand on flavour text, it's there to add a feeling of depth. It helps create a realistic world. If you simply clicked on a book, and it said, "You have learned the spell Daze", that wouldn't be very fun, would it? -------------------- Polaris The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

The Rebels could consist of a soggy leaf of lettuce, a fyora, and a five year old kid, and simply because you join them, they will win. Which brings up another question.

Yes, the Shapers have two continents of people. However, they aren't Shapers. The best they could use common people for is cannon fodder (as in footsoldiers). Even worse, many people would sign up at the chance to destroy the Shapers, so they're a threat as well. The base of the Shaper army isn't Shapers. It's whatever guards, people, and such they can scrounge up. Guardians are the fighters. Agents are the assasins, diplomats, etc. Shapers are the researchers. Guardians will be on the front lines, not Shapers. The Rebels have far more Serviles than the Shapers have Shapers. Forty trained, battle-hardened, Serviles are a match for a smaller number of Shapers/Guardians/Agents. -------------------- Polaris The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

Aura of Flames is only good for finishing off groups of monsters, softining up groups of monsters, and killing weak monsters. I prefer Essence Orbs, as it's not expensive, and it's a multiple-target spell. However, DV is right. You use different spells for different situations. -------------------- Polaris The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
