newbie shield
Kyrton

This may be kind of an insane idea, but I could definitely see it being lots of fun and get a lot of newbies interested in achaea, the combat system, and get social interaction to lock them into playing long term. Give newbies an aura or blessing that lasts till they turn level 21. This aura would make them invulnerable to attacks by anyone with a level higher than 20. Then newbies could be invited on raids as meat shields to soak damage from other players. This would show them one of the best aspects of the game, help get them involved in interaction with others, roll right into mentorship, and they couldn't really damage high level players because their attacks would be too weak.
From yellow to blue to white the dots on the wave form the image. Shape and texture juxtaposed with the sensation they create on the eye and the sentiment it stirs within. Thus the ambiguity of "to feel."

Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."

If .. only -IF- .. the newbie shield is designed for hunting creatures out there, NOT for adventurer combat.
You don't want more problems from newbies trolling the hell out of you in your cities and not having a way to kill them for being asses do you? I know from personal experience trying to kill an asshole newbie who stood in my city trolling us, and he can't be killed due to that thing about being below level 10 and protected from adventurers wanting to murder him for being a troll. He was level 5. Kept coming back for more.
In short, no. I rather not have newbies come into my city to troll the hell out of us with "newbie shield" and not having to worry about the consequences of trolling us.
so you want to give them invulnerability so that when they start dying every 30 min, it's at level 20-30 instead of right out the gate?
Achaea is very heavy with deaths and xp loss. Getting to understand that and your limitations very early is vital to a player IMO.
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
