Ssergit: updated the first post ;).

Okay, for all of you: It seems like I am able to implement a softcoded version of my skillsystem... which is very easily cheatable. But I dont think that that does matter, since it is only for testing purposes. So all of you would have to look a bit closer at the skillsystem and see that they dont make use of more skillpoints than they may. There will be a warning though if you use too much skillpoints and a display where you can see how many skillpoints are used and how many are still available. That should familiarize you with the skillsystem a little more.
The skillsystem works based on charms for now. They are used for one skill each and display the skillevel and the skillpoint costs. You have to make sure that you dont use too much of them for yourself, as well as you have to assure that you have the prerequisite skills. As I said, this is easily cheatable... but i trust in you (I hope its no mistake to do that).

Do you think that could work?

(Realize that I used capitalization to honor the day)

I'd be glad to beta test. I will be playing multiplayer only for the most part, so that should help for balance. Thanks, for the consideration.

Char: PMed you my initial request for beta testing before I started reading through the forum, but I figured I'd post my character preferences here...

I'm currently unemployed ( :OI: ), so I can potentially do a _LOT_ of testing for ya... ;) I'd be willing to play one/some/all of these (in no order of preference):

Uncommon Zon builds (MageZon, MeleeZon, etc.)
Melee Druid (Wolf and Bear)
Any Paladin
Any Barb
Any Necro not already covered
A well rounded Sorc (Tri-Elemental)
If iron is to become steel, it must feel fire! --ancient Dwarven proverb

nice ;).

you are in.

mageazon is pretty strong at beginning from what i have tested, and should be fun. a bit different from vanilla mageazon though since you need more energy / spellpower.
melee ama should work, but melee elemental weapon ama is missing one skill currently :(.

there are already elemental druid players i think (pmpch), but not each and every elemental druid is built up the same way, so no problem if there is more than one ;).

Got both, played for a few minutes tonight, would have played more, but I work overnights, so sleep and work is all I really do on the weekends....will put in some major time this week though! :)
