September's Items of the Month
Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 8:51 pm
We've got a little variety this month, so I figured it may be worth opening a topic.
1) Yes, I can count to 10. Yes, I'm aware I stopped at 9. I'm okay with that. There's nothing in the rules that says every month needs to be worth exactly 10 stars, and I'm staking a claim now that I will occasionally break the tradition. It probably won't happen often, and it probably won't vary by more than a couple of stars in either direction, but I like having that option.
2) There's some fun/fluff/flavor skills mixed in with real skills this month:
2a) The invisibility provided by the Ring of Fellowship is simply a chat effect. That effect has been around for a while in consumable form, but hasn't been well spaded, or has been kept mostly secret by those who have spaded it. I'm not explaining it any further than that, but didn't want anyone to buy thinking it was a combat effect.
2b) The battlecry provided by the shield is strictly flavor. Even with the note in the description, it may not be obvious, but there will be a spot in the account settings page to enter/edit your chosen battlecry. You only get it while wearing the shield, and only if you win initiative. (I don't know anyone who bothers to shout "charge!" while being completely surprised.)
3) The other boomerang in the game has been updated to have a bonus attack/turn, too. Anyone who maintains the wiki may wish to take note.
