Rules Updates effective 6/16/2008

*Is doing the happy dance*

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Since there is no higher list at this time, will there be other skills or spells added to druid to make up for the herbals being removed? 

Higher lists are not guaranteed for any class, let alone for the player.  So the presence or absence of a higher list does not affect the lower list at all.

With that said, Druid will be getting some tune-ups. 

I can't speak on the other points raised.

Mike,
I admit it.  I pushed for that ruling out of jealousy of you being a hug marshal.

Secondly, in the hope for amnesty, under Falsely Representing Authority, I would like to come clean, that I am not a "Hug Marshal" as I may have previously stated, and so it is no longer a requirement for all the ladies in Knight Realms to give me a hug on command to check your character's Hug Rating.  I will rue the day this ruling came to be.

crap!  i knew you were making that up!  no more hugs for you mr. !

awesome changes in every regards gentleman and ladies

If it was meant as a gateway, the Florentine skill on Ronin should NOT require the Small Weapon skill as a prerequisite.

And it doesn't, if you go back to the original post. I get the sense you were unclear on that, but if we intended a pre-req it would have been listed there.

So you can get the skill and acquire Small Weapon off of Common if you want to use just Florentine, or you can, upon becoming a Master Warrior, get Master Florentine and fight with two 1HEs. The idea here is that, in our opinion, Master Florentine is truly a masterful style for the Ronin profession; therefore, we didn't want it available on the profession list, but we did need to provide the Ronin with access to Florentine if you do want to go that route, because it's the pre-req for Master Florentine on the Master Warrior list. Hence the way it is now.

True story:

Saturday night of the last event a bunch of us were heading out of Logistics and (if I'm recalling the participants correctly) Zach said to his friend Elias, "that's Matt White and he's the most awesome person at KR". To which I responded, as though it were instinct, "Ridiculous. Mike Smith is here." And all nodded and agreed.

Danny, thanks for your post. It means alot and inspires me to go mess up the rules some more...
