After consideration by the Senior Staff team, we have decided to make changes to some of the trades, as well as their trade perks, in order to achieve a more balanced system. Based on feedback and reflection from the community, we have made changes to the following trades: Barbarian, Paladin, Ranger, Sleuth, and Pathfinder.
- If your character(s) belong to any of these trades, they will have a one-time chance to change their trades and not lose their experience points.
- If your dice need changing because of the adjustments, you also need to use the form below to have them adjusted. Dice under the old perks will not be grandfathered in.
- If your character is any of the following, their dice need to be changed ASAP to account for the changes: Level 3 Rangers, Level 3 Pathfinders, Level 4 Barbarians, Level 4 Paladins, Level 5 Sleuths.
- If you do not request the necessary dice updates and Staff notices, you will be given a warning and lose your dice for the fight.
- These rules apply to any fights started after this announcement. Fights started before this announcement can continue with their current dice.
The trade adjustments are as follows:

These changes were made after it was brought to our attention that the Ranger trade was overpowered, and that it gave more advantages to our fight system than the other more explicit fighting-based trades. In order to rectify this, all dice-based perks (other than those that are earned at Lvl.1) have been moved to Level 4. This means that your character needs to be a Master in their trade in order to get any bonus dice beyond what is offered at Level 1.
example 1: @Nymeria is a Level 3 Ranger. Now that the perk for negating size penalties has been moved to Level 4, she loses that perk and needs to post in the thread ASAP to have her dice changed. Once she reaches Ranger Level 4, she can reclaim the dice for negating her size penalty.example 2: @Nymeria is a Master Ranger and Sub-Master Medic. The Ranger trade is impacted by the update, but Medic is not. She can only swap her Ranger trade and keep the experience points. Any changes to her Medic trade will be treated as usual, and the experience will be lost.
