Where you really that close to Drekvah that when he is gone you just throw in the towel? Gear comes and goes, I hope you didn't delete over losing some of your stuff.

Would you mind talking about your Scion warrior experience? As a glutton for punishment it always looks tempting to me. In someone ways it looks like you could make a powerhouse (Igbah!) and in other ways it looks like all the worst parts of being a lone wolf in a cabal that gives you no powers.

I remember a few years back Scion used to want warriors to be meatshields for their mages, but now it seems that even the warriors have to have some scholarly response to join. I had pledged a ranger to the cause and I got the whole, what are you going to research bit and I was like...well, thats a waste of my time then, I just wanted to get in and support the mages. So...ranger project ended. :)

With a cabal with a general limit of 10 members, I want the characters in it to have a role more developed than being a meatshield for mages. The cabal is already vulnerable to OOC permas to the exclusion of deserving applicants. While this vulnerability isn't the reason I stressed the change, going back to the old way would encourage it.

Edited to add: I will say that my favorite leader in recent years was a ranger, Paraloiut, and that I have seen plenty of martial/rogue characters that were perfectly fine as Scions.



BTW, Morgrul, apologies on the uninduct/reinduct. I didn't receive the note due to the typo and don't have the ability to read a characters notes without some assistance.

Now that warrior/rogue types are equal to the mages and can even become leader do they have cabal powers in addition to what they had, uh, 8 years ago when I played my last meat shield?

Nope! :)

I've thought about changing it. I'm still thinking about changing it.
