I think that if a character with a weapon can disable an opponent for the same action point cost as a melee fighter, that opponent will simply be killed.

Well, on one hand, there's resistance to negative effects, and on the other, this ability is boosted by strength... Let's see, maybe I'll make the effect bigger after all. For now, I'll at least formulate it in the initial iteration.

Does regeneration ignore bleeding?

No. I could say that there's a cool thing where it ignores it, but I can't.
In general, the question is clear to me. Perhaps I should increase the regeneration to 75 for starters.

I think regeneration should simply be percentage-based. Although, I have no idea how health will increase as the game progresses in your case.

Well, that’s the main point, I guess, that it doesn’t just grow on its own.

Okay, since there's no response about the start of the answer, here's the last question: will the game continue at the same pace as its initial stage?

I've always found preparation to be the most challenging part, so I hope that's not the case here. Oh, and if anyone doesn't want to play but would like to be a co-host, they are welcome to join – that would be a great help. I'll provide the "script."

How was it there...?
I suggest we make a game; we need a scripter, an artist, and a musician. I'll provide the plot.

:D

Jokes aside, of course, but I'm asking about all this not because I'm in a hurry to start playing as soon as possible, not just out of curiosity, and not to nitpick. Strictly speaking, all these figures should have been available from day one, but in reality, with the opening of visible content, there was only a couple of hours' worth of work, and that's almost after an entire month. If the same applies to what's "behind the scenes" and real-time activity, then I don't see how this team can be viable.

It took me significantly more than a couple of hours of active work. Although I agree that I'm slow.

Mент, what kind of help do you need?

Among his fellow tribesmen, Krostrvykh was always considered a boring and taciturn troll. While the stone people were having fun and joking around, he would stroll through the northern forest, look at flowers, and contemplate. Fortunately or unfortunately, such contemplation of nature rarely lasted long: the troll chieftain constantly came up with some kind of entertainment for the tribe, so the young troll could not stay away from them.
It should be said that these entertainments were never understood by the northerners who lived next door to the trolls, constantly risking getting hit on the head with a rock from the nearest cliff. However, in the mountains and stony forests, a troll can feel safe from humans.
That's how they entertained themselves until dwarves arrived in these places... The dwarves decided to bring "order" to the area and, upon learning about the trolls, immediately organized a hunt. They burned down the stone forest, which they were completely uninterested in, caught fleeing trolls, and defeated them using their battle rage and iron. Krostrvykh, with his pathetic spear with a flint tip, could not oppose these beasts. Frightened by the terrible flames, cornered by warriors, he even decided not to continue fighting and was put in an iron cage. The troll and several surviving members of his tribe were taken to a dwarf settlement, where all but the first ended up as "gladiators." What irony: they loved to have fun, but they became entertainment for the public; almost all of them soon died, fighting other slaves or animals. Krostrvykh avoided this fate purely by chance: while still in the cage, he managed to attract the attention of the jarl's son with his calmness and, in his own way, wise speech (let's say that his philosophy was close to some strange trollish variation of fatalism), so the lucky rock creature was assigned as an assistant to the blacksmith.
Unfortunately, there was still no question of freedom, so Krostrvykh missed home very much. He tried to take advantage of the first convenient opportunity and, using his cunning and unobtrusiveness, escaped from the village, without paying much attention to the direction. As a result, he ended up where he ended up - in the lands of Erathia. And here he was surprised to learn that not all soft-skinned people are stupid and cruel barbarians who burn everything down with their terrible fire. There are also others, such as Fa Chzhēn, with whom there is something to talk about... And at the same time, use the patronage of such a not entirely insignificant person from Erathia, because in foreign lands everyone tries to offend a troll.

Xiuulan’s youth coincided with a time when the emperor forbade female Erudites from carrying and using weapons. Unfortunately, Xiuulan’s father died when she was very young, her mother was seriously ill, and as a result, their family found themselves completely defenseless in this world. No matter how safe the lands of the Erudites are compared to the rest of Neroth, you still cannot be protected from unscrupulous fellow countrymen, barbarian raids, or simply a predator that wandered into your backyard.
Therefore, Xiuulan tried to do everything possible to cope with male responsibilities to the best of her ability: she took on even the most difficult work around the house and developed unarmed combat skills to protect herself and her mother.
However, her further fate did not turn out too well; Xiuulan experienced both the death of her mother and the loss of her home, but then some elves became interested in her...
Xiuulan met Han Wen when she learned about his rather interesting travels and ideas. She tried to learn more about the "Forge of Life" and is constantly hanging around the Erudites in connection with this, although she does not rush to answer direct questions regarding the reason for her curiosity about this topic.

Alright, guys, I'm going to get some sleep now. I'll continue tomorrow, closer to the evening.

I have a question about Krostrath.
Does he have the "Stone Skin" skill or not? On one hand, he seems to be a free hero, but on the other hand, some skills are randomly assigned. The question is whether free skills of a specific faction are randomized or assigned automatically.

You can immediately tell which students are seriously studying philosophy and which ones are just trying to impress girls with empty talk.
