I guess, ultimately, the question becomes "What should average evasion for monsters be?" and "What should average evasion for PCs be?"

At 9 AVD, sans any shenanigans, a Hydra is going to evade, let's say Santos, a potential 9/17 times, or 53% of the time. Hydras don't really strike me as monsters that should be that evasive, really.

I realize for Santos and Lehko, they have the reroll/reliable stuff to use, but it doesn't really feel that fair to require that on weapons if people want to try and increase their accuracy.

I guess my ultimate question is "Should Monsters evade 50% of the attacks that are thrown at them?" And I think I can pretty easily say that, to me, that number seems REALLY high.

Obviously, Hydras are an outlier, but I thought I'd use them as an example nonetheless.

More on AVD+3 later.

Dragon's treasure is up. Morrie, update the inventory and gil totals? Also post in loot if you're using the bag expander.

I will have it done by the weekend.

Penelo has changed to Red Mage! With this comes a few changes!

Her innate ability has been replaced. (She is not keeping her old one.)
Her mana has dropped to 118 mana instead of 134.
Her skills have slightly changed. Her magic lore is replaced with everything lore.
Her awareness is now 5, escape 4, language 5 and lore everything is 5.
Her accuracy is now 3 but her avoidance is now 7 (10 if we keep the +3 rule).

Her new innate:
* Innate Ability: Encyclopedia: The character may invest
   into a unique skill known as Lore (Everything) so long as they
   remain a Red Mage, which they may roll in place of any
   specialized Lore check. This even includes nonexistant Lore
   types such as Lore (Animal Husbandry) or Lore (Embarassing
   Childhood Nicknames for Members of the Royal Family).

Edit: Did not properly think of accuracy. It's 3 now, not 2.

No special accuracy rules this week. Since I have so much going on in RL combined with possible game instability due to my new job, I'd rather not complicate things any more than I have to. We'll play this session out and start sorting things once I have my schedule later in the week.
