This should be added at the end of the section discussing character classes as it would be a perk for all classes, not just one. The idea behind this proposal is to try and level the playing field for us older people. It's entirely unfair that just because some of us have been crazy enough to play this game for years and years and years that we have to fight younger, faster players on an even field. Us old guys need a little something to keep us competitive, so this is what I cam up with.
OLD FAT GUY GUILE
Due to years spent on the battlefields of Darkon, any player who has been in the game for more then 10 years gains the OLD FAT GUY GUILE ability. This grants the old fat guy the ability to ignore the first 3 hits when fighting any player younger then they are. This ability resets each time the old fat guy faces off against a new young fast guy. Note that hits includes any and all effects, be they magical or weapon based. In addition, the old fat guy may call double damage with any weapon or spell they use when facing of against a young fast guy. Further, any hit from any hand held weapon used by and old fat guy against a young fast guy will destroy shields in 1 blow. Finally, if the old fat guy is facing off against 3 or more young fast guys at the same time, he may call out "AGE AND TREACHERY" and cause a light wound to all limbs of all young fast guys within 3 feet, regardless of armor. This ability may be used 3 times a day at 10 years but less then 15 years in the game, 4 times at 15 to less then 20, and as many times as the old fat guy wants at 20 years or more because the old fat guy needs all the help he can get at that point. Note this ability applies to the player, not the class, so the old fat guy can apply this ability to any class he or she plays. Further note that Old Fat Guy Guile is simply the name of the ability. The player in question does not have to be, in fact, old or fat or a guy for that matter as long as they have at least 10 years in the game.
I really feel this proposal will allow us to keep the treasure that is our Old Fat Guys in the game for a longer period of time. Additionally, it will help the young fast guys to get better by making the old fat guys harder to kill and by encouraging the young fast guys not to gang up on the poor old fat guys so they can avoid the dreaded AGE AND TREACHREY ability.
Thoughts? Comments? Too powerful? Not powerful enough? What ya got?
