Hi Paul,

Hope everything goes well for you over there.  I'm sure it'll be an
amazing experience.

What Martin said was...
<br>that as far as I can see, Warriors can only self-teach weapons that
are in Warrior categories which for Kinlu weapons are: three Oriental swords
(category 5), Sai (category 1), and Manriki Kusari and Nunchaku (category
8).

<br>A warrior is able to Rank a weapon without a tutor from a category
in which they already have Ranked weapons, for an additional 10% EP cost,
as long as the Rank they are attaining is not greater than their highest
Ranked weapon in that category. When attempting to attain higher Ranks
or Rank with a weapon from a category in which they do not have Ranks in,
a warrior must expend 25% more experience
<br>to Rank a weapon without a tutor.

Andrew, you forgot to mention that her opponents were also blind -- having been
rendered that way by the Illusionist's flash-of-light, presumably to make them
easier for the party to kill.

Perhaps she should have waited in front of them for their vision to clear before
engaging in an honourable bout of fisticuffs.

Cheers,
Martin

It can be very handy for technological extrapolations and quick GM sanity checks
of what seems reasonable.

Agreed.

Subject[dq-announce] Ranger - Final Version 2.1

Here is the final version of Ranger (2.1), ready for the Gods to vote.

Summary of Changes from ver 2.0 (Nov 2000)
The number of abilities needing calculations (base chances, time etc) h=
as
been reduced by half. =A0This was done by allowing rangers to 'just do'=
 all
sorts of trivial survival stuff, rather than fussing about how they did=

it..

Environments
After much thought and response from people I went with the ranger havi=
ng
one primary environment at a time, but I made it easier to change from =
one
primary environment to another.
The convincing argument for this option was that when you have several
rangers in a party, especially at higher levels they won't all be exact=
ly
the same (because if PCs can know several environments by high level al=
l
the rangers will all have the common environments).

Thanks for the great feed back I've received on this project (and sorry=
 for
the delay at the end),

Rosemary

I don't know that it matters, really. Whatever Andrew saw and
interpreted is entirely up to him. If he found it honourless, etc, then
that's entirely up to him.

It doesn't make much difference if the opponent was dazzled, or the
character was invis. It's kind of irrelevant to the point. It may be
argued that it was hard to tell who was dazzled,and who wasn't.

Whatever, I don't really care one way or another. I also don't think
it's worth pursuing, because it's too 'one off'.

Whilst I agree with Jim that characters can and do get changed, even warped
every game, it is possible for a GM to knowingly change a character in such
as way that they will be rendered unplayable.

The simplest example of this is death.  A dead character cannot be played.
Kinda self-evident maybe...

Another example would be a transformation with unplayable constraints
(within the common DQ Guild world).  For example if the PC is transformed
into a ravening beast who must consume human babies to survive then they're
probably not playable within the Guild... which means generally unplayable
within the game... which means they're as good as dead (from a playing
perspective).

I ran into something like this accidentally years ago when I transformed a
necromancer PC into a Vampire.  The transformation was voluntary (even
enthusiastic on the player's part).  Having done this I found the general
consensus amongst GMs was that the Guild wouldn't allow an undead member
(see how times have changed... now we have one on the Council).  The
character was rendered unplayable by GM opinion.  The matter was revisited
some months later, opinions had changed and the character returned on
probabtion.  He then conducted himself in a reasonable manner (within the
constraints as Jim stated) and was once more playable.

Cheers,
Martin
