So as it stands, my monk is tri-transed plus Survival and about halfway through Vision. I've gotten really bored with Tekura lately, and while I may enjoy Telepathy in long distance excursions, I'd rather not switch back to Grook until after I've retired from bashing.

I've considered Serpent quite a bit, theft is really appealing, but a change like that would require quite a few credits to re-trans my class skills, change race to Mhun. pick up an artefact or two. Even through all that, maybe by buying monk arties I'd find more enjoyment. Some of these logs with the massive choke and crush damages are inspiring.

I'm just no longer having fun as a monk. I think the most fun I had with the class was controlling people through Telepathy. I'd imagine Hypnosis does a much better job.

Anyone play a class they particularly have more fun with than others they've played that wouldn't be too crippled with only one and a half class skills transed?

Trade you, I'm a tri-trans serpent with the tri-trans blues. Theft ain't all its cracked up to be, I suck at combat as well soooo I'm kinda bored.

Monk was fun at first, it lost it's flair.

You've robbed people? That's new.

I practiced on a Housemate, failed horrifically, and decided if I was going to get killed for something, I'd rather get killed for pissing someone off by doing something right than by -ing something up!

EDIT: To clarify, my statement that theft is bad is from talking to quite a few serpents. If you aren't good at it, you won't get anything usually and you will end up dying. I mean, unless you want to teach me?

Theft is 20% skill and 80% luck. You will die no matter what; the only way you "succeed" is through continuing to steal until that luck comes through.

Artied serpents rock. Unartied serpent is WAY tough, you have to out-think systems every fight and you'll have trouble tanking damage unless you bash a lot.

I've been monk so long I have problems understanding how people function without things like vitality, numb, kai heal, standing firm, immunity, et cetera. The thought of being a class in which a monk can kill me with only a double leg-break confuses and irritates me.

APPLY MASS

I've told you before about how pitifully supplied I am for a mark. I don't waste resources.

@Jonathin: Yeah, exactly.

You have to out-think systems regardless, which if you spend some time just watching how people cure, isn't that hard.
Unlike people, systems have to go according to their programming and can't adapt outside of the programming.

Serpent combat isn't hard, it's just very in-depth, and if you forget any details you'll either lose, or you'll be set back. Which is why I like it so much.

Edit: All in all, serpent is worth it if you put in the work. I'm willing to give you a little bit of guidance (hi Boz) but don't expect any detailed help if Otha has no IC reason to associate with you.

Wondering how lucky you got

You will also have to deal with having the only skillset that can also be purchased with artefacts (bow, vibrating stick, anklet of dashing, shadowcloak, staff of illusion, scorpion's tail).

Bite loki.

Loki isn't in subterfuge though, which the rest of them were, and I assume is the skillset he was referring to.

Subterfuge is an ability, not a skillset.

No, subterfuge is a skill. Evade, doublestab, and warp are examples of abilities within that skill.

To see a list of the abilities that you have in these skills, type AB <skillname>. Remember, a skill is generally a set of abilities, while an ability is something you will individually do.

4.15.1 Skillsets

(See also: HELP SKILLS)

Achaea has skills. Each skill is comprised of many abilities. You might even
call it a set of abilities.

The term "skillsets" is sometimes used erroneously in place of "skills". A
skill is something like Subterfuge, or Telepathy, or Devotion. These are not
skillsets!

A skillSET is a set of skills connected to a certain class. For example, the
skillset of the Monk class is Telepathy, Kaido, and Tekura.
