Miriko

Yeah, Miriko, when you're ready to join the Blades let me know as well since I'll likely be running your recruitment thread and I'll bring along Vasth for that, if you want to come too Vasth. Since, I think, I'm the only Council Member that's not still in school (advantage of having a Master's Degree) while everyone's adjusting back to their school schedules I'm handling the Recruit Threads for incoming Recruits :)

I would love to help Miriko in anyway, I think My character Vasth would love to help his girlfriend

but if Miriko doesn't want I can understand

Athletics has always added to the base damage.

If added to a sword art, (Lets say a 4x1 to be fair) you get this: 4x1x2 or 4x2=8

or if you want to get technical...

Damage = Base (1) + Athletics (1) + Weapon Skill (1~5) + Enhancements (1~3)

Now take the Sword Art, and multiply the 4x1 with the damage.  So lets say Hirru does a 4x1 sword art.

Damage = 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 5 dmg

Sword Art Damage = 4 x 1 x 5 = 20 dmg

Must be rough, Mack.. all these kiddies wanna join.. and only one guy to look after em.
