Shattered Kingdoms

I say we remove every single script from the game! Scripts give PCs abilities that they wouldn't normally have! It disturbs the balance of the classes!

That's obviously a sarcastic post.

The item helps you get out when a skill -should- prevent you from fleeing. Seems like it's not too kosher for me.

This item indeed was broken and anything that allows a person to escape from combat while affected by taunt should be considered the same. Taunt is a rage causing you to attack someone violently, you shouldn't be trying to escape combat that you initiate because of an insult. Its fixed. Email anything like this to the staff in the future instead of posting it here. It makes for less drama.

Just to correct this ridiculous flame - Wert has complete clarity of both what he builds and the scripting system. Some of the most creative and rewarding experiences in the game are a direct consequence of his contributions to the game.

As I see it, one item out of the many he's built in his time helping out SK being found to go against a policy which was recently unearthed is actually an amazing track record. Those complaining about balance should keep some perspective before insulting a builder who made no error at all in his intention and execution of an in-theme item with suitable pros and cons to it. Even the subsequent re-alignment of the script by Achernar (years after it was originally built) has kept the item in-game and is no longer violating policy.

Have some respect.
