    I'm so sorry Kuemp, :(

    @Daie: yeah but with a magicless LARPS merit is only based upon martial power. So if you're the best then you deserve to be the best. And there's no cheesy '' You can't it me 'cause I've X spell on me '' sooooo laaaaaammmme.

    Meh. I like my magic. And since I'm 3rd class cleric, my magic is pretty weak. But, being a cleric is cool, especially a cleric of death, cos it makes it very easy to intimidate other characters.

    LARP magic normally causes problems, that's why we use tennis balls as magic missiles etc. IIRC protection spells were white clothing. You can imagine how noble it feels to be a mage and after a long stylish speech throw a tennis ball. :D

    I'm dual-wielding a long curved sword and a bastard sword, leather 'armor' and a cloak, kind of a ranger character, but we use the terms scout or knight.

    BTW, is this off-topic babbling? :lol:

    So you're saying the irrational is rational in there?

    We don't throw stuff in our system. You just shout the spell call, and point and shout who it's hitting. Not that much of a bother.

    It's even more fun when you have a character liek me being hit by spells. I stole a hugely expensive ring that bounces magic from me, so whenever someone throws a massive spell at me then grins, it bounces back and fries them. Then I get to dance on their ashes. Fun. :p

    You see Daie? That's exactly what I was talking about. Here's an exemple let's say your adversary is clearly better than you with weapons, then because of a (fictional) magical advantage (i.e a magic ring that gave you better resistance or HP or whatever) you win the fight despite his better martial might. Totaly unfair and ridiculous if you ask me.

    Well, not really. Bearing in mind that I'm a new character, and most others are older. (I mean, we've come up against an Archmage before)

    Plus, it's not exactly breaking the rules for me to have the item, since it was bloody hard for me to steal it. And if I get caught, I'll be executed.

    Thirdly, I am a pretty good martial character. I won our tournament, so me with sword and shield is pretty awesome.

    Okay I see arguing is pointless, to each it's own and all that. You like magic in LARP I don't. End of discussion. So in a conclusion suitable to the RBP and it's none-sense I present you this

    @Ofelix - Oolong! I remember him! Anyone else interested in what else Oolong has had on his head: Oolong's site and be sure to read the Message for foreign visitors. Oolong's dead, but there's the next generation: Yuebing.

    I found the Reese's company finally made a peanut butter cup with actual peanut butter in it! :jawdrop:

    Reading the "discussion" between Daie and Ofelix, I just need to misquote George Carlin:

    Show us your LARP!*

    *free cake to whomever names the original quote
