Going to have to dig through threads trying to find a solution... now that I gave myself a 'face' I want to have it shown over there as well. If anyone knows the link off hand for this

Reading what you've all written just made me think of something that I don't remember reading someone else mention yet.(if it has been mentioned then sorry I missed your post)... we can summon familiars and other creatures... why can we not summon a mount? More specifically... a flying mount. Hum to point this back towards this threads topic... I should be able to magically endow my Sov with wings (wether angelic, demonic or anything in between), After all, birds st

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="97" id="2865389"]The big problem, I think with Champions, is just how gear centered and dependant they are. for the most part, how powerful your Champion is is based on the gear they have, not the champion themselves, so they might as well be all the same. Think of a level 10 D&D character with average 1st level equipment and then think of a level 1 D&D character with level 10 magic items and gear. Who would win in a fight? Almost g

Ouch, that sounds like right nasty bug/problem. I've only started 1 game so far with the release of 1.11 (official) and I have not seen this problem. I'll keep an eye out in case it should happen. Maybe it wuld be a good idea to upload your save game with that bug in the bug report forum so they could take a look at it. Good luck oakenspirit.
