FERRIS95'S PROFILE

It might make more sense to leave on party member awake so s/he can use some kind of spell or something to wake up the party members. The idea of using poison is a really weird jump of logic. It's like trying to heal your team with fireballs.

No reason not to really, some people (me included) like to see a game grow from it's start and subscribe to it.

The only reason it happens is because a bunch of stupid 4chan trolls think they're funny.

Fuck, I hate those idiots.

Might be slightly off here, but isn't it Lulzsec doing the hacking? In fact, 4chan was hacked by the same group and the two do sort of have a bit of "cyber war" going on.

...So Warriors and Mages are at a clear disadvantage? And, on top of that, the only classes with no cool gimmick? That's really bad design, I'm afraid.

Not really, if your a Mage congratulations; you will basically be a physical god on earth. If you use your spells right and know about a foe's weakness, it's a simple two turn fight at best if you play your cards right.

As for Warriors, you get to equip the best equipment in the game. And your not stuck with just Attack, Defend and Use Item; Attack and Defend are used only to recover Energy. Warriors have a plethora of skills and can shrug off damage better than any other class.

Also I should have made it more clear; if your getting into a fight when playing Thief or Scholar YOUR DOING IT WRONG. Scholars like to stay out of fights, use their intelligence to bypass foes with advanced knowledge on their motives. Thieves are charming when needed, with a good Speech skill, you'll be able to manipulate your way out of a fight. Clerics CAN possibly be combat focused, Loki, Thor and Hades are the combat based gods. The remaining two gods don't offer combat skills. Bahamaut, the Dragon God lets you bargain with dragons and speak with them. Luna, the God of the Moon and Peace can calm your enemies down before they start a real fight.

It all comes down to choice, I should have made this more clear I think. If your playing a Warrior, expect to to march into dungeons and slaughter countless enemies. As a Mage be sure to learn about your enemies before walking into any dungeons. If your a Thief, DON'T go into a dungeon; your a thief. Break into a house, steal all their crap and sell it. Same with Scholars, stay out of combat missions; look for quests you can solve with your mind and talents. As Cleric, it depends on your patron God, base your missions on that. Worship Luna, God of the Moon and peace? Don't accept the mission where you waltz into a bandit camp. Hades is the God of Death, he might be able to help you out a bit more than a peace God.

*Edit: Maybe all that will make more sense when I tell you that it is an open world game; mostly built around sidequests. There is a main quest, but you don't necessarily need to complete it, and once you do you can still do sidequests.

What I'm trying to do now is to force the player into being creative with their skills with combos that will be hinted at but never fully explained. All enemies will not only outnumber you, they overpower you too. Without using the combos you will die in a few turns.

Examples of combos:
Warrior uses Bravery on Crusader
Crusader uses Smite Evil on Enemy
Crusader instead uses Devastate Evil

The new skill (Devastate Evil) also leaves the target with a heavy debuff to Defense, leaving it open to attack.

It also works with healing:
Mage casts Amplify on Healer
Healer casts Heal
Healer then instead casts Full Heal

Full Heal also removes status effects in addition to healing.

Very few combos will be explained fully, most will have to be the result of careful experimentation.
