A warm, soothing sensation washes over your soul.
< You chop your bloodwood staff awkwardly at a small boggle's chest, hitting it with a heavy strike that connects solidly with its chest.

So I guess you can get a soul boost depending on what you are actualy beating on things with. I had thought it was a circle thing.

Never argue with an idiot, they bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

>It has to do with what you are beating on, not what you are beating with.

I think you got this backwards.

Evidenced by the fact that I do not get soul from beating on undead things my level with my primaries, however I do get them when I use lower ranked weapons.

Secondly by the fact that if Leucius is at level with boggles, someone tipped the Paladin||Creature guild upside down.

>>I do get soul, though not very often, from killing adan'f (my level if not above) with my primary weapon.

That was the point of his post. We are SUPPOSED to get a small soul boost every now and then for fighting/killing undead/cursed critters AT OUR LEVEL.

We're not supposed to get it for doing the same with critters so far below us they rate as "beneath our notice".

The trick is going to be reproducing this "fluke" so the GM's can track in the code where its coming from. This is the first time anyone has reported getting the soul boost for a critter far below them... that I've seen on the boards that is.

A brilliant stream of pure white light jumps from you to Veegeslas.
It lands a demolishing hit against his chest!
As the hammer-shaped light silently explodes, you could swear you hear a voice whisper the word "Justice".

Either my senses are pretty numb or I have excellent armor cause I didn't feel your snippiness at all. After reading your second post I had to go and reread your first one to find the 'bad tone'.

>He's an angry dwarf.

He completely ruined that image with his second post :(

Seriously though, I was actually responding to a particular sentence in PRAXIS's post

>Evidenced by the fact that I do not get soul from beating on undead things my level with my primaries,

by pointing out that I do get soul from beating things my level. It was my fault for not pointing it out so I apologize for the confusion. I agree though that something is not right if people get boosts from creatures they can easily sit on.

There is most likely a cap to what you can learn from a creature. For example if your soul pool is at x then killing a grendel will no longer fill it and you need to go kill a Death Spirit for it to do anything. If that makes any sense.

My mistake I was mistaking Clerics and Paladins. Here's Ssra's original post on it BTW

It does, but in no way shape or form would my soul be that low. (Yes, I'm that boring) So I'm thinking no. That learning weapons thing might be the trick though. I'm certainly not complaining..just seemed odd.

I did gain experience. Heck if I can remember if it was a killing blow though, I was bored and waiting outside Malchata for EXP to drain. I wasn't expecting anything of interest.
