Where a +10&lt;br&gt;might have 280 full skill in something, a +10 possessed npc could have&lt;br&gt;350 or more.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Effectively, for every hero level higher that a demon possessed, it gained&lt;br&gt;2 or more hero levels of utility. Possess, previously something that&lt;br&gt;allowed a demon to play other classes to gain levels in order to be&lt;br&gt;a more effective _demon_, has become an end in itself. People don't&lt;br&gt;play t be demons; they play to be super-pcs of any possessable class&lt;br&gt;available.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;No longer. Any npc possessed will cap out at a maximum of 400 stats total,&lt;br&gt;the same as a pc. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Effectively, you can still gain levels by xping as a _pc of the same level&lt;br&gt;as the npc you possess_. You don't gain an unfair advantage over your&lt;br&gt;fellow tsunami-ites, but you're at no disadvantage either.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By the way, I applaud and praise those demons who have been playing for&lt;br&gt;not forcing this issue far earlier by using grossly inflated npc stats&lt;br&gt;to pk with. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is not the end of changes to demons; if the base class itself turns&lt;br&gt;out to be less than par once people actually return to playing it, then&lt;br&gt;I'm very willing to review it for balance and changes. I will also&lt;br&gt;be looking at sp cost, level range for possess, etc later in the week.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
