I think, however, this effect would be one of the side effects of choosing the optional deterioration and fixed random seeds settings at the start of the game, so those who want to play with the higher difficulty would have the effects, but the entire algorithm would be bypassed if you weren't playing on those settings.

Plus, I want to see Crazy Bernie add it to the adventures of Lewis the Fighter.
There already is a suggestion list in the beta test forum that us beta testers have made:)

Heh... go ahead and ask BW about a Book III suggestion list. :twisted:

I don't (intentionally) plan on including future features in Lewis's "exploits" ... they'll have to match up with the same timeframe ;)

I found in book two, that it's better to concentrate on my core skills first. I started off with a general purpose character but found that I had spread myself too thin. So I went back and focused on 3 skills (dodge, cleave, & Elemental) and added some Foraging once I had leveled them all up to 7.
