Retaliate is currently dealing dark physical damage instead of dark magical damage despite it's description stating it's unresistable (Meaning, un-RES-able, or ignoring the RES stat).

"The snakemen of Fierdswain? Hardly snaky at all. More barbaric than anything. Brutally honest and steadfast, though."

Lingering Damage is a pretty trustable DPS, but after the mage rework, one instance of it started becoming a little too much to bear.
Wind Slasher's lingering damage.

A person with simply high enough inflict and not even WIL can still do and keep doing [52 unresistable slash damage *3 (rounds) Lingering Damage] with the spell, and even more if they absolute death and analyze weakness with the staff of eyes. Is it this meta's new poison? Surprise, can't be cured too.

Soooo, after talking (read: scratching, biting and screaming at each other like two civilized humans) with Oni Princess for a while, we've came with two small 'solutions' to balance this.

1- Lower the damage number to something like 40 or 30.
(I say 40 damage, because this is pretty much the cap on Incise's Lingering Damage, so I deduct this is the maximum damage it should do on someone with 0 DEF/0 armor. [we all know physical damage can be reduced by alternative ways like Waraji and Know No Pain, even if it doesn't target DEF] She, otherwise, said 30 because 52 is 'too much for something that can't be cured', and everybody's overall high HP doesn't justify it being so high, which I also agree.)

OR

2- Healing cleanses/reduces duration.
Make healing spells (Graft, Second Chance, Malmelo, Healing Dyscharge, Phoenix), Silvermists, Cleanse Body and Repair cleanse Lingering Damage. And healing skills (Meditate, Aid, Rebound, Field Medic.) halve the LV and Duration. And leave the numbers high. (Incise may need a buff, or the cap removed, then.)

Teleport is a pretty good effect to have for movement skill that costs just 1 M, but at the same time you don´t always want to teleport.(Let´s say as a verglas to move and leave ice sheets behind, cause you don´t do that when you teleport)

So can we have a urawaza effect for Shukichi maybe? If succesful your movement becomes teleport, if not you simply increase your movement?

Could be a three arrow urawaza, so it´s not that hard even during lag:
Like up, up, down?


Reason:
Their promotion class does kinda benefit from non Teleport moves sometimes.

just an idea for a tool for the guards and chaos

the ability to set a player to wanted.

When walking around a location where npc guards should be while wanted, every x steps a check occurs vs your concealment to see if the npc guards notice you. If you are noticed a conversation prompt starts ups where you can either accept arrest, resist arrest, or press the ooc button.

If you accept arrest you are taken to the jail and tagged as complaint. If you resist you get in a fight with guards.

guard fights vary from normal fights, Guard players can join the fight if they wish, other players can join the resister but become wanted by the npc guard too, if the resister loses, they are jailed and marked as resisting, The resister can flee(transported outside city) or defeat the guards (still transported outside city)

Each city would have a different guard density and response rate.

Density is the amount of guards that spawn at the beginning of a fight, Response rate is the rate at which new guards join the fight.

Cells has the highest density, 4 guards at start 2 guards per 3 turns
Tannis lowest, 2 guards, 1 guard per 4 turns
Dormeho is medium but has a higher response rate due to the militia. 3 guards 1 guard per 2 turns

Other countries could have different guard mobs entirely

Urawaza does not work with WASD mode anymore, it used to do this before.

When I try to input it will default to typing into the chatbox instead every time.

The Staff of Forging doesn't recover any durability of the target's main weapon, regardless of the durability it's at.

It's intended to recover 3, up to a max of half the weapon's durability.

I tested this by using the staff on myself whilst my main weapon was at 7/40 Durability, and it didn't raise the durability when used (the weapon in question was a tome).

This is a new topic for Lore Questions because the old one was about 26 pages. The format is roughly the same, but some guidelines;

1) Try and format your questions appropriately. As in, make it easy to read and answer.
2) Try and limit the number of questions you ask per thread. I don't mind answering them, but don't get crazy and ask me 20 things, especially if they require detailed answers.
3) Try to avoid asking extremely specific questions, such as 'Did anyone ever die of food poisoning in Cellsvich?'. Answering these is difficult, because not everything is set in stone, so giving a definitive answer on it not only restricts me in the future, but it might influence other players' character concepts that involve it.

That said, if you have any questions, you can post them in this thread! I will post answers at the end of the month/start of the next one.

Thanks! (And yes, if you had questions from the previous topic that I didn't answer before I closed it, you can post them here, but remember the formatting guideline.)

Dense thunder as a skill has a little bit too much Ki cost to be worth it, can the mechanic of Dense thunder having half-ki cost when used at someone's side come back? Crane Hop does not become a huge issue for this anymore because crane hop is 2m

Currently the items introduced to combat afflictions are victim to the same issue Argent Charm had on-launch (omni-presence no matter which tab).
