Let's get this coaster going.

You spelt 'Castle' wrong

I've been waiting for a moment like that!


Gotcha.

Typical Dark.

Dark... click Edit on your message, does it have things like [ b ] visable in it? If so, click the right-most button which is of an underlined italic A with a superscript A above it. When it's pink all coding should disappear and be replaced with what bold text should loo like... makes it easier. Tables also look like tables.

^AA

NEEDED is where I failed to make up something on the spot and need some input to fill the boxes, you mentioning Crystal led to two of the NEEDEDs being filled.

They have the same special attack, other than that they are different.

Basically Torag and Guthan, only made of fabric and leather.

Maybe.

Actually, if Verac is combined prayer-attack, and all the sisters are combined prayer-something... Karil could count as range-agility. This mean no more characters.

Ok'y dok'y.

Lol, anything else melee has?

Back for a second... Erm... Melee has shields that help

Magic needs a pouch slot.

Eldarich trees, Ledrith trees, Gwydden trees, Hadwch/hedwch trees or Hedyn trees?

Ledrith is either welsh for Tree or Magic; Eldarich means nothing.

Eldarich or Darkwood? Lol, Darkwood Longbow, Darkwood Shortbow, Darkbow? Too similar?

Well we need something to go before Ledrith but after Magic.

Evilwood.

Hadwyth mean "evil, an evil, misfortune, a misfortune, illness, an illness"

Lol, we couldn't have two welsh trees. XD

Perhaps.

Fixing the combat triangle is a lot more complex than simply equalizing armor. The underlying mechanics need to be adjusted. For example, it is far too easy for a melee-er to throw on dragonhide and a mind shield and be nearly invincible toward magic users, but if magic users throw on rune armor, they can't get spells to land at all.

Simple. Range armour has negative melee bonuses.

Well that's just one example obviously =P. But ranging armor having negative melee bonuses is a big big step in the right direction.

Wow, we're just changing armor...

Perhaps, somehow we could get all negative, 0, and positives to be equal on all equipment (excluding special stuff and strength, summoning, and prayer bonuses). All could have 4 of each.

Although, the above idea may not work.

Does magic stuff even have a magic requirement? Some of the stuff needs it.
