I feel that all skills should have a fixed cast/use duration, not sure why
there is even a (random) factor in these. It just puts a lot more reliance on
luck.
For example, sabre fence can take between 1 to 4 rounds to start (random)/24 -
that's too much randomness I feel. I think it would be a lot better to fix it
at 2 or 3 rounds, idk if this would be a buff or nerf to the guild, but it
would definitely remove the RNG factor. Same with many other classes.
Or is there a very valid reason for the randomness? A bit newish to Batmud, so
maybe I don't know everything about this...
Sincerely,
Kurdock

sabre fence by
simply stating that the bard is observing his opponents tactics and waiting
for an opportunity to strike.

highbies can achieve comfortably (wound) or as a compromise skills that have
set rounds but dysfunctionally complex damage calculation (reaver strikes and
reaving skills).
