Just thought I'd jot down a few things that I feel are a tad bit
icky.
o item damage via immolate
o non-dodgable direct damage spells, that are equivalent to 'rip to shreds
o kick being the equivalent to decimate or low rip to shreds
o tumble being too widely available
o tumble still allowing sitting chars to stand up
o skills failing when its primary fight stat is at 100
o skills failing when stats differ by more than 50, 60.
o one worse for wear taking out upwards of 324 pts, usually around 250
o heavy weapons not hitting nearly as well as light ones (comparable hitro
ll)
o armor rating difference, i personally feel a very sharp difference in
the -80 to -100 range, more so than the lower end.
o items being allowed to scrap in one or two hits
o HPs being too much a deciding factor -- think mind should be -hp
o of all the spells, only stuns fail or surge, while no other combat spell
seem to have that problem
o sprawling shots making people stand up automatically when in another roo
m
o skills succeeding a tad bit too often against people with the same stats
o being able to remove things mid combat
o there being no equipment that offer protection from spells, while there
are for skills and weapon damage
o weapon damage seemingly rolling one dice per round as opposed to
several die in accordance of the hits landed past armor (clarify?)
o spam taking effect immediately
o usage of non-rentable cheap stats to spam
o lack of combat skills that can be as sophisticated as spells
o worse for wear lasting longer than any other type of stun

Hmm, off the top of my head.. to add to the To Do list:
-Stun 2.target needs to stick for at least 10 seconds.
-Skills success needs to be made gradual, with the same stats
you should still get - 50% chance to bash, 20% you both go
down, 20% NEITHER, just a sliding scale of damage, 10% totally
backfire. The same kinda thing should be done with all skills.
Actually there's heaps of things to do that have been brought up
in the past. Mebbe I'll do this after skill trees if they really
really must come first. -gag-

The same stat succes thing is true, with Rounin and I, fights are
COMPLETELY based on luck. Sometimes I will land every headbutt and he
will miss every bash, sometimes it is the exact opposite. Either way
the winner ends up with somewhere between 200-250hp's to spare. EVERY
time.
I am sure you all know what I think of stun (puke) Maybe instead of
lowering the wfw stun length, you can raise the length of headbutt choke a
and warcry stuns too match? Wonder what the mages would think of that ;)
I truly hate item damage, and would regularly worship the imm that
toned it down. Publicly (grin) Even strength weapons can destroy stuff
in one fight. Not even 10% as devistating to eq as immolates and other
spells, but eq damage is crazy is crazy. (meant to say 'con weapons'
there instead of 'strength weapons')

I thought some items were marked as easy-to-damage in order to
compromise on rent? I guess if everyone in general decided they
wanted their tunics or cloaks to last longer the rent could be
moved upward to keep those items in spec. The flimsiness of those
items are also the primary factor none of my characters use them (Yes
the flimsy items are usually known for their flimsiness.)

I object less to items that are easily damaged than to unrepairable
items. Considering that some of them aren't exactly easy to get
(armplates, collar)...hmm. Well, I guess if it lowers the rent
that's one thing. 'K, nevermind.

It comes down to the rent on the item types.
Youll notice most ppl dont use the items that are 5k
but dont do anything special. The items that have
the strongest material types are like this. They
last forever but are way too high rent wise.
On the other hand there are items like crimson
sash if i remember correctly, that use very flimsy
material, but can easily be destroyed in one fight.
These items have a very nice rent, the problem
is that since there aren't different types of each
eq item, with different materials, one doesn't
have much choice.
Personally ive been pleased with how long my horse
collars have lasted and wouldn't mind if all eq was
set up this way, super long lasting norepair.
Maybe this could be a way to add tweaked eq. Have
eq load with different material types. Have the
material type change and rent the change with it,
another alternative would be to have a mob that
could add material to an item, thereby giving it
more ac or make it sturdier.
