kitsune wants envenom too =D

Assassins are a petty people and we don't want to get ripped off. Even if it's a skill that is hardly used or useful in combat. It's the principal of it all. Who knows, things might change and it might become useful again.

p.s. I still hate my name, (Sephiroth)

Looks like envenom was indeed overlooked for Cl/A. If there are any 10+ Cl/As out there, I'll manually give you envenom. Berserk gives 1/5 damage reduction for zerkers. There currently is none, but I'm setting it at 1/7 for Ares. Zerkers also get a stun bonus and touch of death resistance, which will be applied to Ares as well. None of this is live yet - I'll post when it is.

It was not overlooked. It was left to be for pure assassins only. Pure assassins cannot cast spells. Cleric/Assassins can. They don't need envenom. It's a balance thing to keep us from having 50 cleric/assassins and no assassins.

Ok, I based my judgement off this:

A cleric/assassin is able to backstab, scout, sneak, hide, and use envenom just like a normal assassin can, only not always as well.

Sorry, Advan, guess you don't get envenom after all!

I probably was going to do it, when that entry was made, then decided not to, and didnt update the book.
Envenom was also bugged as shit at the time and didnt work right.

Ocelot,
Can you elaborate on Ares' pray for me? I don't really see any improvements with pray.

What do you think of cleric deities having different stat raising than just he generic cleric stats. Ares cleric is a bit difficult to stat to play into it's strengths. Do you think or not?
