Voluntary cancellations are probably an improvement!

Yeah, being dictated to by another country's dictator about what is and isn't permissible freedom of expression [guaranteed by our own constitution in fact] is a pretty big improvement over the status quo

Hey, it's better than what we've been doing. Few years ago they might have instead decided to shove a glove up the arse of everyone that wanted to see the show and still canceled it. And then invaded some other country to sooth the collective ego and probably just outright abolished the 4th amendment or somethin'. Voluntary cancellation, no military adverturism, no legislative bumfuckery, and people are actually getting a little incensed instead of just rolling over for the Nth time? Pretty big improvement over the last decade and change's status quo.

There's actually already daily realms, heh. They're part of the shrine upgrades.

As for stagger, there's a description of all (79 of) the status effects in the library. Can't recall what it does, though.

The damage difference on the iron golem probably is due to defense and attack and whatnot, at least if you're not attacking the same critter each time. There's type advantages, as well as stat variation and whatnot.

Amount of enemy critters are sorta' random. Even with a full six party you'll occasionally run into four or five critter groups... sometimes even three. But the normal amount does seem to scale up with level, so by the time you've got access to six critters, you can expect to be fighting six critters fairly often. Which can occasionally make things annoying as you're leveling up, if you're aiming for a specific critter instead of just filling your party as you're able.

There are. It's just that the "rebounce" is actually the colossus flexing its glorious bronze muscles and popping the dent back out.

That's pretty shoddy reasoning, but it is rare. About one percent, IIRC.

... 1% isn't really rare. Like, at all. That would mean there's places in, say, New York, where there's possibly something nearing 600 per square mile on the upper end of things, and an average of nearly 300/mi² if the 1% thing holds steady.

And the amazing cognitive taste of realizing that this being what brings out calls of cowardice when we've been more or less actively violating our constitutional rights because of effectively the same sort of threat just hit me. Apparently the dander only gets up when you interfere with american media. Drag the 4th out behind the barn and riddle it with bullets? Eh. Shove a collective glove up the sphincters of thousands? Nothing. Cancel a movie? RAGEMODE ACTIVATED. Amazing.

There's something somehow beautiful about this. Something like a decade of nation wide paranoia and hilariously excessive levels of civil right eroding cowardice and the media equivalent of evacuating a school because of a bomb threat is what sets folks off. I think I need a nap to be able to better comprehend this.

Though on the bright side, maybe we're actually starting to pull our heads out of our collective hindquarters regarding that whole liberty vs. safety thing. That would be kinda' great.

... seriously? Are we actually going to be trying to frame this as some sort of national-level insult or sign of cowardice or... what? This, over a freaking sony movie? Really? This is what my countryfolk are reduced to? What the hell? Why is this even a blip on anyone's radar? Isn't there something, anything, more important to be giving a shit about?

Apparently the US's ego has transmuted itself into fragile glass or something while I wasn't looking.

A kobold just two-stabbed a giant to death with an iron two-hander.

I think I need to tone down the power of stabs. Just a tad.

Or stop kobolds from being so big they an summon meteors

Look, it's considered polite not to mention Penpen's multiracial cousin. The other double P doesn't like the spotlight.
