Humanity would do well to start being more accountable for the woes it invokes upon itself. I’m saying disease is the result of negative emotional and psychological states (more than we usually recognize in the west), bad dietary habits, stress, toxins in our environment, and other things which are all the result of us living selfishly or foolishly in various ways. Disease is something we have reaped for what we have sown, and we cause many innocents to suffer considering our choices affect a whole lot more than just our own bodies.

Are you sure? Cryoa and Cryodrayk do cold damage, and only cold resistance should work.

If you answered No to any of these three questions, you are in violation to the will of God and must serve out justice by being punished for eternity.

Energy makes sense qualitatively. So does work. Quantitatively I'd have no idea how to define or measure energy as "oomph" without trying to make it useful, which is what it is, which is why energy is a function of measurable quantities, more or less.

Basically, the concept of energy was created because it's so useful. The concept of, say, velocity wasn't so much created as given a scale.

What exactly is "levels damage in combat?"

Thrusting Gauntlets:
+2 levels damage in combat.

- Energy resistance. I assume this contributes to defense against Cryoa and Cryodrayk ranged attacks.

- Eyebeast and Gazer ranged attacks. Does your mind resistance protect you from these any more? Or are they just using Kill?

- Being slowed. What kind of effect is this: stun, mind, or is it non-preventable?

- The hand and the X. Two of the status icons that appear over your character. I'd guess that the hand means "slowed" and that the X means "stunned." Furthermore, what's the difference between slowed and stunned?

- Armor. Presumably it reduces damage in general. From all types of attacks and effects? By how much per point? Can't be a per cent, or 100 armor would make you invincible.

I don't think you can back that one up. You can make arguments that it has solely practical value, which would be irrelevant or redundant in an abstract, ideal situation. But working has value simply based on our biological makeup (production of endorphins comes to mind). Biologically, we are put together to be able to do work.

EDIT: I see your questions, and I raise you one. You saw my second post, and responded rather quickly to my others. Is it part of your moderatorial strategy to sit there looking at the religion topic in which TM has taken an interest and hitting refresh?

Even with pure social justice, there would still be that pesky Entropy, always spiraling towards our inevitable doom. Physical existence is inherently unjust. Pain exists. If all people were to drop religion and capitalism in its tracks, pain would still exist. People would stub their toes. People would strain muscles during over-enthusiastic coitus. People would be crushed by machinery. People would get sick. Regardless of their worth as human beings. In an absurdly unjust, and unchangable, physical situation, why not believe in metaphysics.

That's why I've come to believe in a Christian God, despite being a math/science type of guy. For the universe to be just, the people that live their lives for others and get crap in return need to be rewarded.
