UO Second Age

Just figured id take a moment to say hello, Ne'rull dragged me (among others) to this shard to check it out. So far, I am pleased. I had quit playing UO just after UO:R (and trammel *shiver*) was released.

On that note, due to the number of custom shards and the amount of time since I last played I fear I am a bit rusty on a few things. So I have an intermix of questions/comments and please let me know if anything is inaccurate.

1. Do you have to have the poisoning skill to land deadly poison? I know in many servers your chance of not having your poison level reduced was your poisoning skill.

2. I already read that inscription does not effect magery, alchemy does not effect explosion potion damage, etc.

3. If I recall correct, in T2A armor did not have any dex loss. Please correct me if I am remembering wrong. Was T2A the age of everyone in full plate or the age of 'archer suits' ?

Anyway, the Bloodrock will be training up and hopefully driving your face into the mud sometime soon

Welcome to Second Age!

Poisoning skill won't effect the strength of your poison when wielding a blade, or using the poison spell. Same for all other crafting bonuses, i.e., alchemy, lumberjacking etc. No para blows or disarm moves either. All UO:R or later stuff.

Only plate gives you the dex hit, other armors do not.

A lot of have pretty rusty memories, T2A was a long time ago. IRC is a great resource for getting quick answers on the little stuff.
