My first question has to do with Killing hands. When I first read it I assumed that the costs for different damage levels weren't cumulative, thinking back on it I'm not sure any more. So is it .5 for light and then another 1 for M all the way up to 4 for D?
Also do you have to buy each lvl to progress to the next or can you skip around? If you have to buy each seperate and in order buying it all the way up seems prohibitavly expensive. *side note* How do Adepts stack up to the other archtypes? From my limited exposure it seems they are pretty weak compared to mages and samurai. |
