You thought wrong, Bitch. Now go read the forum archives.


You told wrong bitch, Go read the Wiki*

Perhaps you should read the _entire_ wiki article before presuming to correct me?

The blade is like your dick, it shrinks. When shrunk, it is no longer fragile enough for Sarine to be worried about it breaking on touch, even though magic isn't flowing through it.

Now children, let's not upset Momma Impy with unnecessary name-calling, okay?

Like dude, I was only joking (or did no one see the :wink: ?)

Wow, male pms rears its ugly head. Most of the guys I know have been acting really angsty these days... including myself!

Need the white whale picture, yes we do.

Negative reinforcement from the events of the last time he got a power-point presentation on Elf topics?

Here's a thought, while we're talking about these durus flamma things. They can repel bullets without taking a scratch, so it seems to me they'd make for excellent suits of armor. The distracting effect Poe mentioned makes it unsuitable for use by elves, but a well-trained human or half-elf could power it only at the precise moment of impact (similar to the way highly-trained fighters tense their muscles when receiving blows). I doubt it could turn a lousy fighter into an unbeatable one, but the moment of stunned confusion when a monk's magic-spear-thrust bounces away harmlessly is probably worth a quick counterattack or two (as well getting a priceless expression on the poor bastard's face, as only Poe can do).

It would be a boss way for Jon to take down Anita.

Which (tangentaly) leads to a nagging thought I've been having.

We really have no evidence that the Ensigerum can actually make these things. And now we find out the crystals are a dwarven trade-good. Heck, the elves might not be able to make durus flamma objects anymore. For all we know we're looking at slavishly maintained weaponry that was origionally built to last in the first place. Heck, 2000 years probably doesn't bring them past warrenty, Elves being what they are.

Poe had an art piece that showed Anita with a Dolon that was obviously a cut above the rest. Matte-black, finished surface, the works. Likely that's one of the Imperator's perks. They get to own a weapon that was once privately owned by some random elf, as opposed to the mass-produced and now-held-together-with-duct-tape versions everybody else has.

Although nobody probably cares... There are four general ways to modify behavior.

Positive reinforcement: The introduction of a reward.
Negative reinforcement: The removal of a deterrent.
Positive punishment: The introduction of a deterrent.
Negative punishment: The removal of a reward.
