Subject re trans eq and refreshing spells
I sorta like the idea about the trans EQ, but it also creates a huge balance issue. Even if it was expensive to turn your gear transparent, you are talking about effectively doubling the power of a single piece of EQ. In addition to that, builders will have no incentive to make transparent EQ. Currently we have guidelines in place that make it so transparent EQ isn't nearly as powerful as non-trans EQ, because of the bonus that players will receive from their tattoos. So imagine this situation.. you're a builder and you can make a piece of EQ that is either: Transparent with 100 hp and 5 hitroll or Non-Transparent with 300 hp and 10 hitroll If the above was implemented, there would be no reason to make the transparent EQ because players would always eventually (once they could afford it) opt for the non-trans EQ because it would make them most powerful in the end. /rant The refreshing spell idea I think is simple and straightforward and I like it.
