Ok; as long as we are doing interesting and mostly pointless challenges I propose... the spell sword Rules: -you must play an agent -you may not use any weapons with the exeption of swords -you may only use magic that affects your character and only your charactor -no battle magic -no shilds or heavy armour -------------------- “Medicine, Law, Business, Engineering - These are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But Poetry, Beauty, Romance, Love-These are what we alive stay for.” Posts: 150 | Registered: Sunday, February 20 2005 08:00 |

I believe that you have missed the point with variant challenges. It's not meant to be "pointless." It is meant as a test of skill. Do you have what it takes to play by self imposed restrictions to make the game more difficult intentionally, thus bringing true skill into play? -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish.

point taken. Do you like the theme? -------------------- “Medicine, Law, Business, Engineering - These are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But Poetry, Beauty, Romance, Love-These are what we alive stay for.” Posts: 150 | Registered: Sunday, February 20 2005 08:00 |

Melee Guardians are tough enough; a melee-only Agent seems kind of crazy, at least at higher difficulties. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

I'll still argue that melee-focused Agents are no harder than melee-focused Guardians, if not easier. Daze is really useful and more than makes up for the reduced HP supply and the lower QA and Parry scores. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Yeah, but the rules of the challenge as Harlequin presented them forbid any sort of spell cast on someone other than yourself (i.e. no Daze). -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

indeed. I think I got confused by the redundant "no battle magic." in that case, all you're really doing is running a guardian with weaker skills. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

No, I dont agree, the focus would be on spells that augment the character, rather than brute force. -------------------- “Medicine, Law, Business, Engineering - These are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

It seems like bless and shielding have a ceiling as to how strong the effect is, although they (and speed) certainly last longer with better skill. By halfway through the game a guardian will be nearly as capable as an agent at buffing. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |
