Why the hell is that sword even so good?

The flat phys per lvl?
I must have missed that earlier.
Would scale good with einhars 30% Q I guess

It doesn't scale with quality. It's more like a steel ring. A growing steel ring. With a stat stick.

The plus 2 to 3 damage per level is very very good while leveling. It makes leveling very smooth. Far less need to adjust and readjust equipment. When reaching high levels it is still good damage and has a nice little bump with each additional level.

The 90% increased critical strike chance is great.

This is a huge bonus both offensively and defensibly.

General query: is it possible to murder somebody who's already...wait, no, wrong question. Is it possible to get to level 10 in the Twilight Strand? In my experience monsters stop giving experience once the gap is 7 levels down, but that is data from long ago and might have changed.

I can confirm you still get xp lmao. However it starts going really really slow. I have 4 marauders at level 7 right now. With around 4 hours and 45 minutes of time played across the board on all of them.

I need to keep farming this, its gonna drop at some point. It has too.

Duh. It's the amazing writing. I don't know who did it, but my god, it's like Shakespeare and James Joyce had a baby and Dickens was the midwife.

Apt for a dick object that no female writers were involved in the process.

ed: That was a bit deadpan, even for me.

My god, Earthslug it really is amazing writing. Who did it?!

Not entirely true, if we're getting past the snark and self-deprecation. I did run some of it by the GF. In fact she's still getting through the latest draft of the first third of my new work, because it's a female narrator/protag and I STILL don't know if I have the right to do that in this day and age. But I want to, so...I will. :)

Fun fact: Joyce loved smelling his wife's farts. Like, for real. (ctrl-f, 'farts', I dare you.)

Oh Charan, hush. You're not sexist at all. The deadpan comment felt safe to say because of that.

Write whatever you want - it makes sense to use whatever PoV you want; in some ways it's sexist not to, as though our experiences are that different, or something. Having your GF read it is a fine idea, as it is for all your characters.

Yep, knew that about the farts. Have read the letters, many years ago now. He was a saucy erudite man, that one.

Actually, this is very true. From my perspective the reason the sword is so much fun is leveling with her and going through the normal well trodden story-line with fun comments at the important story-line points.

The sword is good also from the mod stats point of view though.

Someone send me many sanity. I need it back.


EDIT: LMAO, welp there goes that, crashed. Someone end me.
