Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

I want to go to sleep, but for some reason I'm feeling really anxious. It's making it difficult.

What on Earth is going on here?

Almost ready to join you guys just a few more hoops to jump through XP

Can't wait. As far as I remember, last time our characters didn't even meet.

I just learned Google Fiber is coming to Atlanta. I'm not there, but it is so close! There is hope for my internet yet.

Seriously, I was downloading something the other day and it was capping out at 24 KILOBITS a second. Average is about 300 kilobits...

So what you're saying is that being an Eysire automatically makes you stronger than anyone else, and that nobody can train enough to surpass them if they are also training.

No, I apologize if I implied that. I didn't mean to offend.

To be fair, I do feel for you though. I get what it is like to have the trait your character is built around be compromised...as that is the exact thing I'm facing here. Ssarak's fighting style is also strength dependent. With sexual dimorphism being what it is, though, it's hard to justify logically.

Well, it's the same with Alaira, but she's had way more time to do it. she's got a decade of an advantage.

I don't think you can really just train forever and keep growing continually stronger, you get diminishing returns after a while, as there is an upper limit to any training regimen. It's just maintenance from there. You would have to start doing a more effective regimen to grow beyond it.

I said slight, there's not much of a noteable difference compared to . Wood Elves are built lighter and those traits carry into Half breeds.

Eh, it might not sit very well with the logical part of my brain, but regardless, Ssarak has a lot of strength training and fights with a large, heavy weapon whose weight is its primary damaging aspect. Even if all races were on a completely level playing field in terms of strength, I think the force he could dish out in a swing would be greater than the majority of foes, so I can still use him as intended. I'm fine with it.

But her strength is the one advantage that makes up for her crippling weaknesses! It's the only place she has that's ahead of anyone. She's pretty bad at magic, even among the novices, can't read, schizophrenic, get's into situations she can't manage, and is an emotional time bomb. Strength is her big advantage...

Women do tend to be more dextrous than men. She also fights with a spear, right? That is a much faster weapon than a two handed maul, warhammer, or something of the like, not to mention its reach. Plus, Fallen did say she could have more strength than a lot of men of her race, given her intense training.

What is the strength level of the Esyire, Fallen? I mean, there are no reptiles in our world comparable to them, so that doesn't help. Even if they had the same proportional strength as humans to their body weight, that would still be a pretty big difference. Not extreme, but notable.
