What do you think about making it so you can't eat, drink, or quaff while affected with hurl or tigerclaw. Really if your throat has a hole in it or hurts to much, can you drink or eat something? I don't know just popped into my mind as something that would be cool.

On an only semi-related topic, its always bothered me that it was impossible to use these skills to ninja retrieve when you are going up against imperials. There is usually at least one set of centurions, possibly two between you and the vanquisher, and there is no way in hell hurl throat or tigerclaw is going to get all of them. It makes sneaky retrievals against the vanquisher impossible! =(

Of all the cabals, the Empire is the only one who gets a LOT of warning before the raiders hit the inner. Meanwhile, with other cabals its just land the hurl throat/tigerclaw on the outer and you can start on the inner with little to no warning, making it much more difficult for said cabal to organize a defense.

Besides, everyone knows centurions in and of themselves are overpowered. In my opinion, they are the single deadliest villager killer in the game!

Comments?

I just wish you could bribe Centurions with enough money to make them do things the other way around.

"Ha! I'm going to summon him to these Centu..."
"Cheap Imperial, now you die!!
"HELP! A CENTURION IS ATTACKING ME!

The End

It's a good idea and it does make sense, but if we made it do these things, I'm sure the probability of these skills working would go down. It's all about the balance - which would you prefer?

I think it's fine the way it is. Assassin have enough ways to keep people from fleeing and quaffing. You just have to be smart about it and time it. The success rate and duration is already low enough so that it isn't the end all of mage PK tactics, and I don't want to see it drop any lower.

Now then with that said... if we can work on being able to use spears to assassinate now that we have crossbows that shoot, I would be elated! Give a young man an ounce of hope! >=)
