You carefully lay out some cloth and quickly sew a small cloak.

Made entirely from fine white silk, this flowing cloak is huge, having been made to fit a wearer of gigantic proportions. Fine strands of silver have been woven through the entire length to create a dizzying ornamental design. The inside is lined
with deep crimson silk, contrasting sharply with the silvery white of the outside and providing comfort to the wearer even in varying weather conditions.
It has 125 months of usefulness left.
It weighs 4 ounce(s).

It's a maternity cloak, they just call it small so the mother doesn't feel bad

Actually, I was glad. Any longer and I would have been late for work! (My first supervisor shift, too! But, yes, back on topic.)

One fine day:

(The Dekoven Lineage): You say, "Oook..."

(The Dekoven Lineage): You say, "I just tried to look at help boobbinder."

(The Dekoven Lineage): You say, "New trade skill... binding boobs."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Alodia (from the Aetherways) says, "Kinky!!"

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "I approve."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "Isn't that a corset though?"

(The Dekoven Lineage): You say, "You get to tie the corset up?"

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "No, we use ancient bookbinding skills in
order to craft the perfect corset. As only us scholarly and often lonely types
know how."

(The Dekoven Lineage): You say, "With paper?"

(The Dekoven Lineage): Narallen says, "With leather."

(The Dekoven Lineage): You say, "Ooer."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "No. Anyone who is a scholar is more likely
to study how the body works and how it is rather than feeling it up. Bookbinders
have read more about breasts and how to deal with them than your average
tailor."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Narallen says, "Because us scholarly and often lonely
males do exactly what scholarly and often lonely males do - which is study....
The female body."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "Which is really, really sad and kinda
creepy."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "Of course, such studies usually require a
great deal of ale."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Narallen says, "Of course."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "This, of course, has given rise to the
phrase "Don't trust scrawny men bearing free ale.""

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "So, yes. Bookbinders know how to perfectly
bind breasts."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Narallen says, "Learning how to bind books was just a
side-effect."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "The most skilled can bind them with one
hand."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Narallen says, "But we chose to be called Bookbinders
because it sounds like a much more wholesome profession."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Narallen says, "Wow. What skillrank is that? Trans?"

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "Yeah."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Narallen says, "Ouch."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Narallen says, "I just used all my credits to transcend
Tahtetso."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "When you finally transcend binding breasts,
you can do it with one hand."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "Which is even more creepy."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "You have someone putting a perfect corset on
a drunken young lady with one hand."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Narallen says, "What does he do with the other?"

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "Use your imagination."

(The Dekoven Lineage): Jigan says, "He's probably writing in his journal about
it."


There was probably more... but I had to go

Oh the fun that can be had by a single mistyped letter.

You're right. Tarot is clearly UP. Just like Sacraments.

I think it is clear we must nerf TH as well.

For some reason, that smiley always makes me think of Mr. Burns.

Eexcellent...

Tarot does not need a nerf. Empress requires the target to ally the tarot user, and a tarot user at the other end. Break either of these components and empress does not work. Empress is a great example of coordination being used in a MUD.

Think Tarot is OP? Remember the Trans skill, World. Horribly underpowered for a trans skill. Tarot has NO instakill techniques.

Put that in your pipe and...

What is Soulless?

... or be lusted, permitting offensive summoning continent-wide.

Less Tarot

More Funny!

::points at Aesyra::

I demand quotes!

Yeah, that always works on people who pay attention

Tarot's fine, just because it has uses doesn't make it OP.

Yeah... surely something funny's going on in Lusternia?

Worked fine for me when I was a guardian. Maybe you just didn't use your skills effectively

And I agree, I think empress is fine. I'm just pointing out factual inaccuracies, y'dig?

If empress was fine, I demand moonbeam back.

Not sure what you mean by 'back', but lets see what happens to this latest batch of envoy reports.

Pfft. You don't balance skills on an individual basis. You take into account how skills work in synergy with each other, and with those of your organisation. Empress was never a moonbeam equivalent to begin with, anyway.

It was the wisp equivalent, with different restrictions. That was already shot down, though (and rightfully so, wisp sucked).

Really, we have no functional equivalent for empress/beckon. I suppose we have rad runes, but then nobody ever actually takes runes. For us, if the enemy doesn't want to come to us, they just don't.

EDIT: Quotes, quotes...

Erm...

Well, I quoted Jack. He's funny...ish...sometimes...

Er, yes, yes they do. Runes is a solid choice for Druids. Not as -fun- as the other two, but...druids don't seem all that fun to begin with.
