Frequently Asked Questions:

1. I think a lottery / casino / other form of gambling would be a great idea!
2. CB needs a healing spell!
3. Since CB already distinguishes between one-handed and two-handed weapons, why not allow equipping two one-handed weapons?

1. Q: I think a lottery / casino / other form of gambling would be a great idea!

   A: Players are welcome to run any form of contest they like in the Contests forum (within the limits of the CB terms of use, of course), but there will never be gambling as an official part of CB. Although I realize that "gambling is a tax on people who can't do math," or alternately phrased, "gambling is a tax on stupid people," I'm still morally opposed to it, even in a game.

   
   

2. Q: CB needs a healing spell!

   A: This adds little to the game that simply training HP (or AS, or protection, or endurance...) doesn't.

   
   

3. Q: Since CB already distinguishes between one-handed and two-handed weapons, why not allow equipping two one-handed weapons?

   A: Because two good 1HW like an ELS or maybe even two claymores would be massively overpowered. Getting even one extra attack would be way more benefit than using a shield or a 2HW, so a lot of gameplay choice would be lost (because one option is far more powerful than the others).

   Now, we could make twoweapon a Skill, but then we'd get rid of Bloodlust and only people who could afford to upgrade two weapons would have that choice. I think it's better the way it is.
