I've been long trying to come up with a new template as we learn more about
this game. Its always fun to try and break stuff.

This template is taken off of an idea that Dave had a long time ago. That
you maximize the skills associated with the most important attributes.

Str + Coord = Axe skill

Coord + Focus = healing skill

Focus = arcane lore (specialized)

Focus is so good for both magic skill and for identifying items and a host
of other things.

High magic skill is excellent for a warrior so they have uber item magic
skill.

Things that are unimportant

endurance. Many templates for warriors are ignoring endurance because you
get to raise stamin, health, and endurance, so the initail starting 10 is
not that important in the long run.

Speed - TL template has always been slow. You can up run as much as you
want. Attack speed is slow anyway, I've never had the much of a problem with
it. Did you know that starting with a 10 quickness, my melee defense is
within 15 points of Sister C's and she is 3 levels higher than me? Speed is
important in a number of different templates, but not this one.

Self. Self is used for mana and for magic skill. So we can go 50/50 in focus
and self and get the same magic skill and more mana. Or we can go with
100/10 and get a TON more arcane lore, the ability to id things, and just
less mana. Less mana is like less stamina. It eventually won't matter at
higher levels since it is a secondary attribute. I started with a 10 self
and I have 175 mana right now.

Get life at 15 or so, whatever, and you're done.

Of course, if you are coming to DT, theres really more important advice than
this.


The MOST important things I have learned about DT.

If you are going to be a warrior, there are two weapons. Dagger or Unarmed.

If you are going to be bow, you should be dagger secondary, and start with
100/100 coord quick for high melee defense and run.

Mages are fine any way you slice it.

Everyone has to have item. You SHOULD have life.

thats about all.

Thats what you need to know to be happy on DT.

later

Jamie
