Clerics seem to generate more heat on the boards than any other profession, and I'm not quite sure why. It might be professional jealousy as other professions seem to think clerics have training costs that are too cheap. The complaint seems to be that if clerics are now pures, why aren't their training costs in line with all the other pures. The ( Read more... )

Both of them say to contact them if you find errors, so if something seems horribly wrong and you want to delete your character in despair, DON'T PANIC~! ... just email the author ( Read more... )

There are, however, a number of smaller system changes that may actually affect each of us in profound ways, depending on how we role play our characters ( Read more... )
