Garou - we've taken to not lying down during combat. Sitting with your arm over your head (to show 'oog' you should be down) is best (Especially at night) too easy to get stepped on. Also - protect your face even if sitting - don't be me and get whacked in the face by someone down-swinging their weapon. Much better to get hit in the forearm than in the cheek bone =Z (Somehow I earned the nickname 'indestructible face' from that though... go figure)
(as an aside - the word "Garou" more closely translates to "Were" "Loup Garou" would be the equivalent of "Were Wolf", but you could as easily be a "Lapin Garou" and be a "Were Rabbit", just a FYI
And yes I know White Wolf Games just uses 'Garou' Weird thought though - what happens when a -kin gets lycanthropy? :blink: )
If you don't get your armour - I'm sure some players would be okay casting low level spells like Shield (5 armour) and Bless (5 body) on you. I have armour, but am leary about getting into combat, because 10 points of armour + 8 body doesn't actually go very far if enemies are swinging for 5s. I usually steer well clear of 5+s. I even had Magic Armour, Bless and 'power cubes' (+5 body in addition to bless) and they still didn't go very far (I can't have 'Shield' on me 'cause it's icky Celestial magic). Pretty sure I burned through 5 Magic Armour pots last weekend... at 10 gobbies a pop except the ones I bought in game at 2 silver (oh wait, one was 'free' because it was someone my char knows well and he knows I'll return the favour if he needs something.. so yeah).
I'm in hyper/ramble mode atm, so I'll stop here before this becomes a 'wall of text'.
(OOH - rereading I just have to say - I was considering an owl-kin... Hibou Garou? That rhymes
)
