[QUOTE="reiella, post: 94031, member: 160"] So did Meowth Wicht, and I do have to agree here. If only from the perspective of Dark v Yakuza... At Tier 5, without MindThief at all, Dark have one fewer sig style, and 4 fewer sig locations. Same number of Dirty Tricks, a more useful dirty trick, one more poison blade, and Foul Spirit... At Tier 5, with a fully powered Mind Thief, Dark end up with 4 more sig styles, 4 fewer sig locations. Same number number of Dirty Tricks, a more useful trick, one more poison blade, and Foul Spirit, and the ability to pick and choose your styles... This is the same concern I mentioned before too though. When looking at Light, it's a bit easier to see a disadvantage without Redeeming Light... As just comparing them against Dark, they get a Purity of Focus instead of one of the tricks that Dark gets, while balanced when compared to each other, it isn't so much balanced relative to everyone else, and this brings up that fun problem of if Light is more effective against Villains, in order to be balanced, they need to be less effective against non-villains. Part of the trouble is that, a lighter's Purity of Focus will never stop the same tier Dark fighter's dirty tricks (he always has one more DT than lighter has PoF and the Dark still left with a useful Sneaky Trick... Against a same tiered Yakuza at least they can negate the Yak's DTs at Tier 6 and 7, before then, we always have one more DT than their number of PoF... That said, I'd personally go instead for a 3 style/loc bundle instead of 4 if you choose to redistribute it that way, and even then edgy because that still brings Dark fairly close to being flat-out better (although it'd be harder to see then). In all truth, would be more in favor and changing Mind Thief/Right of Domain to something else entirely (Although honestly I'm at a lose for what). [/QUOTE]
