Ha. I skip over his posts too!
There is nothing wrong with the hp cap being 110 and str cap 120. What this means is that bless and strength spell actually do something now... They aren't useless like before.
We tested some stuff today on Taran's server, think it was just a tweak to GH scrolls and some stat tweaks. I personally thought it was awesome, but we will have to see what other players think. Of course, Perfect didn't like it because he wouldn't win every 1v1 tourny anymore, but that's to be expected from a UO player who has to ask what the spell Des Sanct is then call it a bullshit spell.

Yeah Zig, I don't know if you've seen how much damage energy bolt does to naked people, but it's like 70 hp lol.

I was talking about this to Ogen today, would changing the damage output from HH/Baldich to a little less make things more balanced? Also allowing other weapons to be used. I am just curious. If this were the case then FS would be used more strategically then a dump.

How exactly were those spells useless... they worked fine and people used them all the time.

The real problem isn't their damage, its the fact that those are the best choices since right now dex is the more worthless of the 3 stats and it is just more logical to drop dex, take str/int maxed and take the weapon with the highest max damage to wait for crits.

they were useless because they didn't do anything shade. you could cast str and ya your str went up but you didnt get any hp bonus. same w bless, your stats went up but you didnt get hp mana stam bonus

Ahh ok, I was just wondering, doesn't matter to me either way, now that I've been thinking about it I am just going to adapt, it is what it is.

Yes you did and for the hell of it I reverted to a revision prior to the pvp changes just to double check. You gained stats and hp/mana as well.

those shields are like 30 ar or something.
Yeah it probably lowers the damage quite a bit but it should still cause enough damage to you so that you'd have an advantage if you wore an armor as well. Plus that can probably be re-scripted by Taran or Shade so that they still cause enough damage to make it worth wearing an armor even if you use your chaos/order/neutral shield, if it doesn't already (haven't tested them with such a shield on myself yet).

Shade, at 120 str and 120 int, you'd go to 130 str and 130 int but you wouldn't get the extra 10 hp and mana. I know you're going to say what you think but that's how it was.
edit: idk if there is a 120 hp cap... or a 120 mana cap... but that is definitely how it was. at 120 you got no benefit from bless.
