Default Re: Petition to change LUCK\\ORDER Scales

I'm going to have to disagree slightly with respect to magic. It gives decreased percentage returns and increased percentage losses with scales.

But please remember that the cost/reward for taking the scale is linear (as pointed out by someone else here). And imagine a magic-3 Ctis. With shamen doing the research. These are sacred units and have less overall cost per research point than a sage imo. Plus, they seem to have more battle utility than a sage.

To give a unit like this, with around 4 rp or so, 3 extra rp is a 75% boost overall. Not bad. I'm going to stick with those who want the drain scale left alone.

With regard to luck, what would folks say to not only good and bad random events but also neutral ones that have good and bad elements? Your luck scale could turn some bad or good events into "neutral" ones depending on what scales you took. (I see the militia as "neutral" at best. But they do make good cannon fodder and give me an excuse to make that summer sword.)

I'll acknowledge that I'm still a total newb, so my assessment of value is very preliminary here.
