Well..."three more" are coming soon, so hopefully y'all can just savor the parry sticks for now while "three more" finish baking.

<<I just like teasing you Reexa>>

I know ;)

<<At the same time though... I just don't want it to stop>>

I know that too. We don't either, so we're always looking at things to add and ways to release new things. At the same time, though, we do need some time to finish projects before we leap into new ones. And great goodness, we have an awful lot of projects right now...

If you give an Empath a cookie, she's going to ask for a glass of milk.

I posted a shorter version of this on the general title suggestion board, but then I realized that there are individual title suggestion boards for each guild. (Feel free to delete the other post.)

There are titles for mid- and high-level battle Empaths (Battle Empath and Kaith Partani), but how about something for aspiring battle puffs? What I was thinking is something along the lines of half the requirements of "Battle Empath."

Combat Medic (or Field Medic or Battle Medic)

At least 70 in Empathy
At least 50 in Evasion
At least 60 in First Aid
At least 40 in Parry Ability or Shield Usage
At least 300 in Total of Valid Survival (w/o Stealing)

(There is already a "Field Medic" under Survival3, but it only incorporates first aid and evasion.)

The Wikipedia article on combat medics is a nice parallel to battle Empaths:

---

A combat medic is a trained soldier who is responsible for providing first aid and frontline trauma care on the battlefield. . . . Combat medics are normally co-located with the combat troops they serve in order to easily move with the troops and monitor ongoing health.

*

Medical personnel may be armed, but may only use their weapons to protect themselves or the wounded and sick in their care. If they use their arms offensively (i.e. attacking or assaulting), or carry arms that qualify as offensive (such as a sniper rifle, machine gun or grenade launcher), they then sacrifice their protection under the Geneva Conventions.

System Announcement: For Barbarian purposes, the definition of "magic" has been expanded to include the mysteries of "I've got your nose" and "counting past ten." Enjoy!

I've been working hard on combats, but I'm still a long way from Battle Empath. It would be nice to have a half-way point.

It would be nice to have titles past battle empath that don't require empathy for 90th. I long passed the combat reqs for kaith partani but don't know that I'll ever actually circle that high, especially without much incentive to do so (spells, abilities).

Thieves will continue to be dominated by the awesome power of the perceive health ability - that which causes rivers to dry up, babies to cry, and the earth to shake.

Forget Kaith Partani. I want Balvbaaris.

Only 1250-some odd ranks to go...

But you're right, some in-betweens would nice.

heh, we need more battle empath titles in general... it's a long way from battle empath to kaith partani ya know?

You snicker.

I kinda agree with having more titles that didn't deal so much in evasion. I wear HP, HC and LC in rotation so help learn evasion, but as a long time lover of wearing HP I'd like to see some titles dealing with Empaths like that.

Like:
Martyr of Defense
Shield Empath

stuff like that, the names I suggested are kind of stinky, but I would like to see more of that.

It would be neat if all of our other-language guild titles also had their English equivalents as options.

Thanks,

I'd like to suggest that the combat requirements on the combat empath titles be raised to be more in line with the Empathy requirements. Give us something to shoot for. There's no reason the bar should be set so low.
