I think one of the biggest disadvantages of being a str fighter
is the obscenely renty items. I am currently saving at 49.6k rent.
If I wasn't capped at 50k, (and I don't like relying on prestige)
I could have a LOT more attribute bonuses.. and also
I do lot of equipment getting, and I cannot even afford to
hold any of it when I kill the mob.. (for too long of course)
Anyway.. to get to my point.. I have 14 spare practices.
Perhaps there would be some way where we could trade 5 practices
for 1000 additional rent space? or something of that genre.
Something to think about...

Ofcourse... we could always as the rent be lowered on most thing
like that obscene rule about the material of the item boosting the rent

A str fighters rent is only higher than others because they can
make use of most high rent (+hit/dam) items, others usually can't.
I've been able to reach 50k rent too with a staff of the brahman,
2 brines, 2 hernes, eye & worn. It's not str gear but what you
choose to use. Heh, str even save over 2k rent with those nifty
new boots.

I don't see why Str/Dam has to have such high rent value?
you get +hitroll with Dex and it doesn't have crazy high rent.
Example worn riding..compaired to a brine ring.....

Str doesn't really take up a lot of rent.. dam does. I'm 100 str, and
I rent at 44.5k, including lots of junk. My str/con rents at 47k, and
he carries a spare weapon, so make that about 42k. In both cases I've
not gone for damroll items, and I find the rent to be not much more
than that of my con or dex people, and those can use the dam items too.
It's more a case of most dam items being +str as well that tends to
make it seem that str items are more renty. Perhaps more dam items
for the other stats will even things out a little?

I'd like to see more +dam/hit items that are not str/dex respectivly
something that's +spirit or +mind and +hit/dam would be interesting

er, +hit items are sucky when you are not a str/con fighter because
well, dex fighters hit all the time anyway. You should be thankful
that the +hit items are more available so you don't have to try
to get hitroll through actual dex. Whereas, when I try to get good
+dam items, theres only 1 stat that attributes it; str.

Mebbe you 'think' you hit all the time.. I'd only go without
+hit if i was 100 dex 100 perc.

First of all, not everyone uses the spiffy boots..
I for one use a horseshoe.
Secondly, the hitroll/damroll point is true..
the gloves are +1 higher attribute and over 1k less rent.

Actually, I have no damroll items other than my
claw and 2 horns.. no rings, etc.
and I still rent at 49.6k with 100 con/str and 80+ dex
I sacrificed my gloves(hitroll) for a second attack weapon
which was about the same rent.

Those horns are the worst offender when it comes to damroll/rent problems.
Most people who lack rent use horns - it's a price you pay for a nifty
item which gives +5 net, decent damroll, and has other useful functions.

(used to have a horn, just one, but found it too renty)

Hmm, my last char was at 100 str, 97 con 87 dex with base str
of 47, he had 1 hernes, worn gloves, eye of cyclops and a
couple of other renty things including a serrated and nuck shield
but still saved for only 42.9k rent. This characters at 49k
with just 1 more hernes and a 3k rent weapon, I have no str!

I think snipers should get more rent space.
I mean, I can't hold a chalice and a gae-bolg and
hp and damroll items all at the same time anymore.
and a dozen vials of really neat potions.
What in the world am I going to do now?

I find it unfair that there are +dam items that are +perc and +dex (I
think) that give only half the damroll as a herne horn but still
cost the same rent...-grumble- thats my only gripe
