[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9646025, member: 42856"] Also, I notice that the book granted us XP for finding the blade of the sword, yet told us we'll benefit from them only at the end of the adventure. What sort of purpose does it serve? The end was only the fight with the-one-who-cant-be-named-cause-I-forgot-his-name-from-book-1... and since the "you get cursed by his ancestors" part is scripted and a railroad, despite us outsmarting the BBEG, it wouldn't matter that much. In LW, I remember that when you quested for the Lorestone, and found one, you immediately got your HP back (this I am sure) and I think you additional discipline. There was some immediate sense of accomplishment even if you didn't get to do anything significant after that. BTW, speaking of Icon, if we just defeat him properly and just walks away, you get burned by the wall of fire spell, then he reforms and you must fight him again... and if you reduce him to 0, you get an opportunity to bull rush him into the Pit of Death... from where he asks his ancestors to curse you anyway. Anyway, we ended the book, so we can level up. We're now a team of rank 5 characters, ready to reach book 4. Which means: Winny gets +1 to damage (reaching 2d6+1) and +6 HP. Trixie gets her base damage up to 2d6 from 1d6+2 and +6 HP. Salvia gets the same, except +5 HP. Esmeralda gets her damage up by 1 point (to 1d6+2) and 5 HP. They really could have given us the upgrade before the last fight, for the little it changes. [/QUOTE]
