This is just a note to inform players of BatMUD, that after a few years of
trying to get the leg and foot slots added to the Centaur Race, it has finally
been done. As of today, front leg <2>, and front foot <2> slots have been
added, by Gore. This will be a wanted uptune in the race for a few years. So
if you tried the race before, and didn't like the fact you couldn't wear your
o-yoroi type battlesuits, you might reconsider and try it again. I am sure you
will like the difference

Adding leg slots to centaurs is like adding furry dice to your Corolla; sure,
it looks more appealing but it\'s still.. Corolla. Now, if the extra limb
damage was tuned I might even consider trying one!

If we are to keep this game as 'mythical' as possible, the centaurs should get
extra leg slots. Perhaps even extra shoes for the hooves might be a good idea
as well.

I know that they got the leg slots. I was saying that it was a good idea and
that they should get back foot slots as well as they have 4 feet (hooves).
Thanks for the tells though.

And they wouldn't at all be out of balance if they had 4 leg slots
and 4 foot slots? Oh, and while we are at it - I guess it wouldn't
make the race imbalanced after this previous uptune if we increase
the limb damage too?

Any chance that the half stats for female centaurs will ever be changed?
I know it's petty, but I don't like playing male characters
and that's the only thing that keeps me from trying centaur
for race for a reinc.

cheers

If you don't like playing male characters then you must enjoy some "role
playing" type aspect of the game. And if that is the case, then you are not
a min-maxer and you shouldn't mind the half stats.

I wouldn't necessarily consider 4 foot and leg slots imbalanced. If you are
worried about imbalances, why not put on bonus 'caps' for those slots. For
example, instead of the possibiliy of wearing 2 sets of '+10' leg slots, why
not tone it down to modify the eq while they are wearing it to give only +14
or +15 instead of +20?

Lets take a def for exaple. Centaurs would be able to get +13 pr more from
these 2 new slots than any other race. You consider this not imbalancing??
Eventough with pr caping this would open up much more possibilites for this
race than any other.

Arguably, if slots were all it took, barso and their extra arms+hands+fingers
makes even better def but how many of those do you see around? Those can get
(at most) +38pr more (as if it mattered, with how the cap seems to work and
gettability of the items involved), and even with just alchrings 8pr + other
bonuses.

I personally wouldn\'t mind huge(tm) uptune for centaurs, considering right now
only reasonable hybrid religtank is ent.. and I could use not getting downtunes
every year :)

I agree that with the right eq barsoomian would make the ultimate def. But,
seriously in all other ways centaur rocks barsoomian (stats,size,spell cost,
spell max etc.). Eventough we wouldn\'t take into account the gettability of
these eq(4 asmos are soooo easy to get), making a good def (especially hybrid)
from a centaur would be a lot cheaper and easier.

At the moment i already see centaur as a viable option for a def. If we would
uptune (huge(tm)) it even more we\'d just replace ent as the only choice for a
hybrid with centaur being the only choice. This because of the stupid light
limitation, since nowdays there is so many shadows and vampires around.

Just for hands+fingers+held slots, the +38 does not obviously even use asmos,
nor pr shields (even the crap ones), or anything ungettable. Those are
\'almost gettable if you can rape xxx-area(s)(wink)\' numbers.

Ultimate maximum (that I know of) is more in the range of 74-106 depending on
if barsos can use full shields or not. Most of the 10(+)pr items in game are
not gettable though, which is depressing.

Doubtful, they have less wis, and even with the melee damage unfucked would
still most likely hit less hard. I doubt I\'d switch, at any rate. But having
more options would be nice so ents wouldn\'t be hit by tunepole every year.

I just had a vision! A vision of how our centaurs look. They wear the very
same armour as everyone else.
Centaur with 4 jackboots and two pairs of pants.
Anyone remember what was that pony in some finnish childrens show, that was
played by two persons? I imagine our mythical centaurs to be like that.
Sorry, should have posted to bs actually, but too lazy to correct now.
