So...any progress, PX?

I'm pretty much in front of my computer 24/7 for the foreseeable future if you need someone to test something.

I'm so envious of you D:

I take it that px is somewhat busy with school, as he is usually speaking on mirc from a library pc... perhaps he could share with you so you make the edits?

Uh... I'm not sure here. A W-EV slash by a few points, but otherwise I don't see problems.

I don't think they really need to lose wp, although I admit that due to them being still a natural weapon to thieves it may be a bit strong to have two-weapons 2 short edge, due to the innate concentrate. Whatever thief can use should be a bit lower in wp than the rest, since he gets concentrate for free.

You could always make ninja unique by eliminating thieves' option to use said ninja swords but eh, seems too limiting. Guess you better slash 1-2 wp of hidden (common, free concentrate is quite good), 1-2 from short edge and maybe 1 wp from spell edge.

PX, I take it the AI can see Transparent beings in the Arena hack? (EDIT: If I had taken the time to look at the first post again like I usually do before asking a question, then I would see that it can. So please disregard this. Damned sleepiness.)

Even then, Ninja Knife seems like it might be a tad overpowered.

All the ninja knives could probably stand to lose both 1 WP and some EV, if only because they're pretty much always going to be used with Two Swords. Spell Edge could probably afford to lose 2 WP or more, if only because Don't Act is really powerful.

Also, is Glacial Blade still a Dagger or is it supposed to be a sword now? I ask for both clarification and because there might be some graphical errors in the case of the latter.

Iga/Koga seem crappy. They're worse than everything else in the type, unless there's something hidden about them... might want to make up for the lower WP somehow?

It just occurred to me that I keep forgetting to mention this.

PX, are you aware that giving something 0 range doesn't work by itself? That said, it seems like turning off all the attack options, i.e. lunging, striking, etc. seems to make the weapon unable to function in the same way that 0 range would.

If you turn off all weapon options, it will function like a hybrid between a dictionary and a longbow.  Meaning the minimum range is 3, the maximum effective range is 4, the height tolerance is 3, but the display will show you able to target all panels with +/- 2 height = +/- 1 extra range even though your height tolerance forbids you from actually hitting such units.
The destruction of the will is the rape of the mind.

Sorry guys, but if you've been on chat you'd know that I'm bitching about my comp. It's pretty much fucked up, and I wont be able to work on this for a while. If anyone would like to pick up the work, it's all in the first post.
