Ascension questions and more!

Nothing was change for armor. It was always 2 and 6.

People have been believing a lie for years.

Also worth noting that this makes a bigger difference in heavy armor. For full plate for example, if I train up to 330 ranks, the penalty drops 4%, down to 18% I think, so I might actually do that, withthe help of some enhancives. I doubt I'd bother with light armors.

Regarding armor mastery, don't forget that the spell training penalty is pretty severe. You get I think 5 spells with no penalty, and then lose something like 5% per learned spell after that.

If you are concerned about disarm, get 101 ranks of brawling + 1 rank of TWC to mitigate the risk. But to be honest in your situation I wouldn't bother.

Why would brawling and TWC mitigate disarm chance with a runestaff? I don't think SMRv2 or the disarm skill specifically take those skills into account.

Or did you mean having brawling skill would increase your DS while empty handed?

I imagine that is what they meant, yeah.

Can bards create bows/crossbows with sonic weapon? I could have sworn they could, or maybe they create sonic arrows/bolts?

I think every bard would have a ranged weapon if that happened

I forget how bounties/saturation works.

Let's say your mind is full at 1000 experience, you turn in a bounty worth 1000 experience, do you now have 2k experience in your head? Or do you instantly absorb some of that 1k bounty experience?

What about when you try to turn in a bounty when you are already saturated? Do you instantly absorb some of the bounty experience and the rest is lost forever? Or is all of the bounty experience lost forever?

If you turn in a bounty when fried, you get X amount into saturation until that hits its limit, the rest is instant exp. It'll show up on Uberbar as a 300+ pulse, for example.

If you turn in a bounty when saturated, you're fucked. You get nothing but the money and bounty points.

Any idea if the saturation limit is known? Just curious.

Darn. Doesn't even fill up your saturation limit? All the experience is just gone?
