[QUOTE="Neoiceshroom, post: 5736558, member: 6674872"] One of the first major revisions that came into play during the thread was the revision to the rules regarding damage of weapons and such with the application of virtual size catagories. At the highest levels of play the rules in the IH turn the game into a game of rocket-launcher tag that greatly favors fighter types and has them doing damage far surpassing even the greatest of epic spellcasters of their level of power. Take a look at some of the data gathered by my friend Belzamus.
