where have all the alchemists gone? Furthermore, why is it that I only see them around when I don't need them?

Here comes a series of questions about Blademaster since I'm thinking of becoming one, but I first need to understand the abilities better.

1. What does PinLeg do, exactly? Does it prone? Is it just simply an impale, or does it affect the person in other ways?
2. SeverNerve states '...paralyse one side of the body'. Does this mean, if I sever the left arm, then parrying/stancing will be null for the entire left side? All stancing and parrying?
3. When you Impale, will your second sword enter the gut if the first is already in? This leads to my next question...
4. When using Rend, does it do extra damage if a second sword is in the gut, or is the damage a set number?
5. Approximately how much damage does HeartPierce do?

I think that's about it. Appreciate the feedback, if any is given.

Pinleg basically stops everything except focus body and writhe.
Hemiplegy stops them from using that arm in attacks or attacking at all if they're not arm-based, not sure about parry or stance.
I heard heartpierce does about 1k unblockable damage.
Pretty sure rend doesn't do any damage, just a bunch of bleeding and bleeding stacks.
And I'm pretty sure that you can impale someone twice.

PinLeg even stops... sipping? Eating herbs? Applying salves?

Pretty sure it does, well, at least did when I remember dealing with it alot. I know you can't insomnia with pinleg which leads to sleep-lock pinlegs.

Vathael just explained most everything to me. Thanks for your help.
Thanks to Vathael too.

Pretty sure it stops even insomnia.

MY goat is over a year old, why isn't it full grown yet?

I think it matures at the end of the month that it turns 1 in.

The stuff from April is still being discussed.

Everything to do with envoys is on hold until Monks are done, though.

Is it really that difficult to delete them?

That does not seem to be an option, no.

I'm thinking of making a pureblade katana-using warrior...with a heavy dose of samurai theme. Two burning questions:
1.) I know it won't be as good as using armor, but would a robe(kimono)-clad warrior really...work?
2.) Which org, if any, do you think would be best for this?

This is a kimono:


Clearly, that's not going to work.
You'll want a two piece set, a Hakama and an Uwagi/Gi, to look like a Rurouni Kenshin / Assassin (from Fate/Stay Night) type of Samurai. I refer you to Google for images.

so.... is that a kimono?

Actually, that is a womans kimono.

That it is. Since we're on topic, is it possible to make furisode as high-fashion type dresses, or are we strictly limited to western, european style?

Aramel and I have done a lot of Indian-style stuff inspired by Lady Maylea so it's not limited to western. But you might need to find an in-game justification for the style. Dairuchi should provide plenty.

I meant to say hakama. Forgive my lack-of-sleep Japanese.

Are cooks able to create recipes for teas, or is there only the four brewmeister teas?
