The Old Testament meets the Tao te Ching.  So. Much. Fun.  Laughter is good.<br \/>\nStill, for all that, it&#8217;s a real spiritual thing:  Ashe is really digging into himself &#8212; finding out what really matters to him, now that his grandfather&#8217;s dead.  He hasn&#8217;t found the answers yet, but he&#8217;s looking.<br \/>\nIn short, he&#8217;s growing up.<br \/>\n<u>Gameplay<\/u><br \/>\nRan the Sara Moore task force with Hype, Shock, Kin, Psi-Clone, Amorpha, Zephyr, Li, and Puck.  Had a couple people hit the ground here and there due to either ambushes or being too close to the &#8216;damage cloud&#8217; that hovers around any tank who&#8217;s fighting Nemesis, but otherwise it went really well.  The last group that ran this thing (Shock and Kin were on it, so I heard about it) needed something like 2 or 3 days to finish it, and had one or two TPK&#8217;s fighting the AV.  We ran it in a night and the AV dropped kinda scary fast once Kin cleared the minions out.<br \/>\nI hear tell there&#8217;s more AVs in the next couple Shard TF&#8217;s&#8230; like&#8230; five? Six?  Cool.<br \/>\nPicked up Hype&#8217;s last power: Rise of Phoenix.  Strictly an RP-type power: Hype doesn&#8217;t know it yet, but for all intents and purposes, he can&#8217;t die &#8212; his will&#8217;s too strong.  (See one of my quotes from the last update.)<br \/>\nSidenote to Empathy people:  Absorb pain is an awesome &#8216;save the tank&#8217; heal, and Adrenal Boost&#8230;<br \/>\nMy. God.<br \/>\nI know it used to suck, but holy cow it is SO DAMN GOOD now.  It&#8217;s like RA, plus Speed Boost, plus Regen Aura, and then doubled.  Daddy like.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Epitaph<\/b><br \/>\n(level: 32)<br \/>\nNeed to write the Coconut Trophy thing&#8230; and the next post for Working Girl. Damn.  So far behind I think I&#8217;m going to lap myself.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Lucian Strange<\/b><br \/>\n(level: 17 (new))<br \/>\nGameplay:<br \/>\nParry is six-slotted: Lucian can use the Medicine pool heal in mid-combat without getting interrupted \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nLucian hasn&#8217;t had a lot of rp yet (aside from being hit on by everything with two legs), but that&#8217;s mostly my desire to get him up to SO&#8217;s as soon as possible &#8212; that&#8217;s really where I&#8217;d like to be before getting heavily into RP.  He lost his jingle-jet yesterday, so I&#8217;m hoofing it around the city, Strategist-style, for now&#8230; Lucian&#8217;s build doesn&#8217;t include a travel power: just like Strat.<br \/>\nUNLIKE Strat, I&#8217;m having a lot fewer problems with endurance: my current build plan doesn&#8217;t have Stamina coming in until level 30, and if it doesn&#8217;t seem like I need it even then, I won&#8217;t get it.  Right now, he&#8217;s running Invincible and his endurance is fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just to get up to date before The Visit throws my play schedule all out of whack.
