Shattered Kingdoms

Pretty sure theres more "quality" weapon subtypes available made from durable materials for griffons than there are regular races. I can think of several weapons that aren't even mentioned in this thread that are made of diamond which tells me that people clearly haven't done enough exploration to merit the QQ over the lack of availability.

Meh, thanks to the whining I see that one of the weapons I used as a spec was turned into a griffon weapon. Weak sauce.

A lot of those weapons your talking about were changed into tanso and cold iron.

Now whose whining.

One of the most important balance mechanics to remember is the law of conservation of tears.

There is no law of conservation of tears. As tears can be created or destroyed. Tears in SK is more closely alined with enthalpy. Thus the second law of thermodynamics. In a body of work changes will always bring more tears than they fix.

Actually, grep is right. Whining has caused more changes in SK than anything else has. Certainly more than rational argumentation.

I still want a server download that I can deploy to my local box for educational purposes...and the enjoyment of being a wizard and creating characters with currently not possible stat values and walking around just owning everything for the fun of it...

I'm not sure why this is your perception, because it's not true for any of the code. Whining alone will not make me change anything. There has to be a rational explanation for why a change makes sense, or I won't even start on it.

I've got a perfectly rational explanation right here.
