Stamina - New bar?

Will power affecting stamina...very interesting. But I would tend to think that will power is more internal other than physical...and stamina is a very real physical thing determined by your body. Maybe with high willpower it could affect the draining of stamina a little....just a thought.

Yes, but i was just thinking if this is introduced it will cause hell with all the older players as most of them put zero into the willpower stat because it had no use.

The same way it did when they brought in the effect of int to not only determine how much mana you lose but what spells you can cast. Many older players who hadn't put stats into intelligence were quite annoyed when they lost the ability to cast most spells.

Tough, you should make your character according to what your characters attributes would really be. If your just looking for a powerful guy who can be really good mage with full agility and constitution, well, hopefully other things will drain your mage so hes not that good. Most of the stats probobly work, just not known. Using willpower, a person can push him/herself to do things he/she never thought they could do. Look at the navy seals, they go through something they probobly never thought they could do at bootcamp. Willpower is a very real determining factor in someones endurence.

Maybe, but i think i have to agree with Elaralith more on it.

If there is no balancing factor, everyone would run around fighting demons like they were chopping wood. There needs to be a balancing factor. This way warriors couldn't sit around and kill many things because they have the most stamina, whereas somebody who wasn't one of these "uber warriors" wouldn't stand a remote chance of defending themselves if some idiot started to go on a pk rampage.

But I was thinking that a mage who didn't put very many points into constitution shouldn't have a lot of stamina even if they have high willpower which can be assossiated with magic (even though it's not implemented yet) because constitution is stamina. So if people want high stamina they put points into constitution, they shouldn't put points into their will power if their aim is a high constitution.

I was thinking willpower would affect it somewhat, not like the overall determining factor.
