With the upcoming war, and the supposed ability for every level character to be able to fight in it, I'm curious what my Paladin would be able to do versus undead. I'm still fairly young, 8th circle, but have heard that our fists can occasionally act as blessed weapons. How does that work? Aside from Holy Weapons and blessed fists, do we have any other advantages over other guilds when fighting undead?

>>I'm curious what my Paladin would be able to do versus undead.

Natural brawling weapons (fists/feet) act as blessed if your soul state is good enough, the 'smite' attack acts as a blessed attack, I believe SF/SMH are more powerful against undead/evil, and Holy Weapon (from what I've read) is good against the undead/evil stuff.

Holy Weapon is available at 50th circle. Blessed brawling should activate anytime you land a brawling attack on a cursed/undead creature with pristine soul.

>>When I got there, I was unable to hit them with brawling.

Was it a matter of landing a hit or were your attacks passing through them? You need pristine soul for it to work as a blessed attack, but it works for any brawling attack.

>>Does killing undead help our soul as well?

Yes, although you must use a weapon you learn from. Details are in a post from Ssra in the GM Announcement folder in this category. And thanks to your prompting I finally got around to adding my soul notes to Elanthipedia: http://www.elanthipedia.com/wiki/Soul_System

I don't think I've ever had my soul drift down below pristine without doing something that gave a soul hit. Might drift down from top pristine to bottom pristine, but I've never had it just drop from pristine. Are you... fleeing? Hiding and advancing? Hiding and retreating? Killing majestic inkhornes? Tourneying? Goofing around with a buddy and hitting him without a challenge active and/or him hitting you first? Stealing? Learning stealing ranks in a way that is not stealing? Being arrested and found guilty of a crime? Murdering people? Killing people who attacked you first in self-defense? Eating babies? Accidentally bumping into someone while walking down the street? Getting up from the dinner table without asking to be excused first? Hmmm... probably forgetting a few, but any and all of those will give you problems.

>Doesn't drift below pristine to my knowledge.

I don't really know then. I didn't do anything that should have hurt my soul state after checking it in Crossing. Is there a place in Riverhaven to check it or will I have to travel to Theren/Crossing?

>What is the name of your paladin and I will have a mage send a soulstone to you.

Winra. What's a good time for you to have one sent? I can get on right now for about 40 minutes, but it'd have to wait until later tonight otherwise.

<<Anyone remember that?

It still drifts as I recall, but only if you are between pristine and dark. I will pull up the post.

I probably won't be able to get on for long periods of time this evening. I'll try to get on around 9 CST. Thanks for your help.
