	When doing a template and finding that you have a few slots open. Is it worth it to put a few point into your Int.? I know it is a mostly unimportant stat, but if Nightshades are supposed to get their edge from Magic, then why doesn't Mythic let them take advantage of the stat Bonuses that raise Int. ?

	we don't really have an acuity stat. Somehow strength does factor into our power pool, but i don't think it increases damage at all. Barun Demonikeen-Lone Enforcer (2nd NS vid) Demonitales (1st NS vid) Demonigankin Nightshade Teamlead

	Only reason I ask is because I once got a drop I used on my NS. It was a piercer with +3 Crit and 7 Int. After I equipped it, it seemed i did slightly more damage with my DD. It also seemd that it was resisted alot less too. I know there are whacky items out there with stats that don't make sense, but it seemed to make sense. My friend and I used to Duo on our shades. I was Elf he was Keen. His DD consistantly did better damage than mine, but his Int. was higher also. I couldn't figure out why, because upon creating the toons it says. "As an Elf your inherent magical powers will make you a mediocre Ranger, and an Excellent Nightshade" ..or something to that affect. I dunno. Hib Gareth Feverdreams 50 NS rr4LX as·sas·sin n.

	they changed it to aug acuity5, which does nothing for us. anyway, str afects our DD dmg and our power pool, but it affects our dmg VERY VERY slightly. can notice the diff when switching between pierce and blades due to the extra 20-30 str. =================================================== life is alot like a biscuit...in a sad, crumbling sorta way
