Shattered Kingdoms

If sentences confuse you, I might suggest investing time in a new hobby. You know, since the game's all words. Just saying'.

People are talking about buffing midnight. Don't. The whole tribunal militia setting is pretty win, but the answer to any conversation about helping tribunals is allowing dual membership.

There are assistants for forum perusal if this is still elusive.

If you let people go say...Hammer/Keeper Druid/Guardian, the MC would be in major need of a massive buff.

This is totally possible. It takes consistent and courteous reminders as well as supporting logs. The fact you didn't get it on your previous character is only due to your lack of interest.

Isn't MC already a tribunal/cabal combination? Benefits to cabals are special powers, benefits to tribunals is access to guard NPCs. Drawbacks to cabals are supposed cabal laws that RP dictates you follow, as well as enemies you have by just being in the cabal. Drawbacks to tribunals are you have to deal with the law system, and get a bunch of IC grief/stress, as well as enemies you have by just being in the tribunal.

I would think it's the Harlequins who would need some sort of buff. Maybe turning the black rose into a tribunal would even that out.

I'd also like to remind everyone that the MC is the only cabal that requires you to be a citizen in a certain country. Even though Zhensh tends to be fist, taslamarian tends towards the hammer, and ayamao guardians, what if you had an ayamaon hammer? Would the dual membership have to be with the "corresponding" tribunal? Or the one you're a citizen of?

It would lead to some difficult RP if people are in the cabals and tribunals of different countries, or at war with themselves on both sides.

Yes, except the MC has a horrible assortment of Trib NPCs, and basically a "half" set of cabal powers.

Ummm. . .what syn said should be painfully obvious. If you let people do hammer/keeper or guardian/druid, MC would need a buff.

laez1, the tribunal side of the MC is much weaker than any other tribunal, and the cabal side of the MC is much weaker than any other cabal. This is the only reason it is at all balanced atm. Also, the harlequins don't need a buff, ever, especially if a secret harlequin would be able to join a tribunal as well.

edit: looks like syn beat me to it.

You're assuming that someone in Hammer/Keepers would have the entire extent of powers from both organizations.

It is bad to assume.

I for one think it would really energize the game to rebalance cabal powers around a melding of each cabal with its respective tribunal, leaving the Harlequin as the lone exception.

Basing an entire cabal's skill set over "sekrat" members is silly.

Harlies wouldn't need a huge buff on the level that MC would need, but actually changing HDance into an ability that at least partially works with a pet/tank in front of you would suffice. It's also one that has been argued for going on years.

I think you should be able to milita OTHER FACTIONS.
