Hi. Got a question. I've been told while our soul was pristine, when we brawl, our attacks work like blessed. I'm pristine, I would think at the higher end, and am fighting undead. I've gotten no messaging to suggest my attacks are working like bless, is that right? Is there any way to tell if it's pristine enough?

If you are at the top of the top of pristine, your brawling strikes will flash with a bright light or somesuch. If you are any less (though still pristine) there will be no flash. There is no way to tell where in the range of pristine you are though.

>Which is insanely frustrating. I had planned to be Brawling primary, but when I was completely unable to get this to work, I gave up and picked up 2HE. Now with the shield hinderance changes, I'll likely switch to something else, again. Luck I'm still young.

It's really not hard to stay in the blessed brawling range of pristine. I never really do anything to try to boost soul, unless I've just tanked my soul from some form of conflict, and I always have blessed fists, unless, again, I've just tanked my soul. It could be that there is a minimum size soul pool, in addition to just being top pristine, to get the effect, which would explain having trouble getting it while lower circle. Try raising circle and training charisma a bit, and see if that does it?

Tangent: Also, everyone is acting like the shield/two handed penalty will be the end of the world for 2he users... The penalty can be trained down, paladins can train it the lowest... I personally think that it will not be nearly as big a deal as everyone is acting like.

At 30th, I'm still Brawling primary...
