Player one reads player twos description. You judge that player two is not quite as strong as you. Player two reads player ones description. You judge that player one is not quite as strong as you... Discuss ???

Frankly from an IC standpoint I always thought that descriptor was silly anyway. I mean, sure it might look like that person in front of you is a pansy physically, but if they can make shadows rip out your internal organs is it REALLY gonna matter that they're the living incarnation of "scrawny?"

But anyway. Yeah, I think this is actually part of a new thing they're doing with a spell that will be implemented later. You'll have to use it to take a peek at people's stats if I'm hearing correctly. It might be a blue way spell? Essentially you can't tell right now, everything will appear to be "intelligent as stone" as it were, even an ulbernaut. At least that's been my observation.

Actually, today I saw someone who is "very excelled in arcane arts, honed body and mind and would provide a serious challenge in combat" or something like that. How did that happen I wonder.

The spell is AW, Nature intuition and was removed from the game some years ago as BF chars were getting their knickers in a twist over being revealed XD

Really?! I do wonder how that happened. xD I've been running around randomly clicking on people just to see if anyone had a difference.

Hm...then I have no idea. Maybe it's just a new series of levels you have to reach to measure up to anything.

Both player one and two are my chars ;) One way more exp than the other, yet another insect in the works I guess.

The thought of two Azure way magi suffering from a mental hall of mirrors effect and subsequent debilitating migraine came to mind. :)

Seriously though, I think those descriptions are too two dimensional to take seriously. I tend to prefer seeing characters incorporate a wide range of ideas, tactics, and items that are not particularly designed for combat. One such example was a little old dwarf women who came after my character with a wooden spoon that she used to keep her hair fixed in a bun.
