How effective are perfumes for influencing? Would they reduce attacks by 1 (at 20 charisma)? And are the brews for absorbing damage/increasing damage worthwhile as well?

Edit: Answered my own question, they do not do anything sleep.gif and the brews decreased a magical attack from 820 to 775.

Do additional cityfavours to a cr6 make it harder to knock them back down to cr5?

What is up with people flame sigilling lingerie/underwear and leaving it at the aetherplex? If I find out who this person is I'll falcon punch them.

Arix started it I think.

Arix is getting punched.

Rune of Gripping Y/N? I've never quite understood how unwielding worked, so I don't know if gripping will help when a monk violates my arms. Can anyone clarify/explain exactly how gripping would help?

Just trigger to rewield your instrument. Also, attach a fist sigil, and use selfishness.

I think that'll solve 90% of removal problems. I've never even heard of the artifact before.

Did all that and was wondering if the Rune was worth buying to eliminate all unwielding. Guess not! Thanks a bunch!

The Rune of Gripping is pretty useful. It's essentially the gripping skill. It affects things in both hands, if I'm remembering right, and it will stop you from unwielding from things fist sigils won't, and you can't be forced to give the item away while wielding either. It also perms the item. I've been more than happy with the gripping rune I got on Sarra's athame.

I had a grip rune on my athame, it's amazing.

Do I need to make a comment about the naked moondancer having a good grip?

Nope, we're good! Thanks for the offer though.

(Hopefully I haven't already asked this.)

Is there a connection between willpower and experience? I noticed a day or two ago that I was getting around half the experience I normally received for what I killed. 13 hours remained on my harmony blessing, and I didn't have any other modifiers. My willpower, however, was around 1800 (maybe less). The next day, after my willpower was back up to normal, everything went back to normal. Any other possible cause?
Xiel2010-08-14 00:29:13
There's no relationship as far as I know between willpower and experience gain rate. Could just be all in your head! Worry not, for a solid 95% of our populace is already borderline insane.
Thendis2010-08-14 00:41:15
I won't deny being insane, but I was definitely receiving (slightly more than) .14% per quinotaur. After I killed a certain amount, I noticed I had much less experience than I should based on that amount. I killed a dozen or so more, checking each one, and saw I was receiving (slightly more than) .07% each. (The fish and eels gave me a similar ratio of expected and current.) The next morning, the amount was back up to .14% each, and I have since leveled up and receive .12% each. Anyways, mostly wondering if it was because I was under 10% or so of my willpower.

Question: Are the three psionics channels combined equal to balance, while being separate from equilibrium? I should understand the differences between the channels and equilibrium and balance after all this time playing, but I don't. So could someone just give me a rundown of the difference between psionic balances and the regular balances?

They're unique. Any one of them counts as being off psionic balance. This means that some skills that only require/consume balance (dissolve) or equilibrium (weave illusion) can be used and combined while off psionic balance. Deathsense only requires equilibrium, apparently.

One of those days wouldn't happen to have been Divine Favour Wednesday, would it?

That only gives 10% extra.
