I was wondering what happened, whether things were changed or not. My def has gone down quite a bit, by about 7 db and 9 pb.

I used to have around 135-139 db with full kit while holding little, just a vial or too. I should have about 134-135 with my current load, which consists of full dodge, trinkets, obsid dagger, crystal shield, and 9 lbs of stuff in sack, vials, meat, flask. I used to pull around 176-177 pb with crystal shield while wimpy, yet now I pull about 168 when I should pull around 175 or so with my current load. I just noticed this now and I do not have any idea when it changed, perhaps overnight or some such. I haven't paid much attention. I have 99 dodge, 99 sblades, 92 sparry, full kit of dodge, full trinkets, crystal shield, obsidian dagger. I was not sitting or sleeping or resting. I was wimpy the whole time. I am just wondering where that 16 def went, as the extra db can make or break a situation.

Is this intentional?

After pking a bit i can safely hope that it gets changed back. Kharsk hasnt missed a bash on me yet and I parried 1 / 10 hits bashed. old way was much more balanced

Kind of funny how 20 def can make or break you versus a basher.

Please, imms, change it back to the old way, if this was intentional - if this does anything to counter channelers, it only gives them more possibility to bash us trolls and fireball us afterward. If something should be done to counter channelers, it should be caps on dex, str, and con. Females of the time (especially channelers) were usually (not always but usually) weak in physical stature. Look at Moiraine; she was barely even five feet tall and could easily have been killed by a trolloc if she were wasted and Lan wasn't there

IMO, channeler stats should be severely capped. I'm talking about 17 17 16 perhaps - there are way too many bloody channelers at the moment. If one enforces these strict caps then just maybe we will see more thieves, rangers, and warriors.

that would be like 250 hp no way hosay. i'm thinking about 16 18 18 on stats they should be able to get ok con. you shouldn't use moiraine as a reference since she was an exception and is cairhienin. if you want to use that as a thing i could say that mcs should not have this kind of malus because they were just normal guys for the most part they could be warriors as well as channelers. also channelers usually were able to kill hoards of trollocs before becoming wasted and relied on killing trolls from a distance not up close. 17 17 16 would SEVERELY cap channelers with bad bash(which i don't mind) bad def, and bad hp so they'd probably be bashed in combo 100% of the time with 17 dex or at least 1/2 maybe a little less but still crappy. when they get bashed obviously troll bashers usually have at least 1 stabber with them so that'd be half their life in 1 bash because of stupid caps. if you ask me one of the reasons channelers are all around is because its as easy to stat a channeler as it is to stat a warrior, ranger, or thief. i statted 75 ish warriors all i wanted was 18 19 warriors only need two stats so therefore should be easy to stat. i got better thief stats on my warrior statting then i ever got a warrior stat. i think all statting in general were downed from when it first came up i statted a fc 12 17 16 19 18, a ranger 18 19, and a trolloc warrior 19 19 and i didn't stat near as many for all 3 of them characters then to get this human warrior. if you made the other 3 classes easier to stat less people would try for channelers. give a warrior a bonus roll on str con a ranger bonus roll on dex and str and a thief a bonus roll on dex and con. not none of this def switching, bash upping, prac downing, stat downing, and etc. of the like. up the others don't down channelers.

As most post in announcements says, some items were lowered, mainly trinkets, though the defense system is being tweaked, so in the end, it will not matter.
