> First thing I find far out in this log, is dopple - As far as I can tell (I might be wrong here), there is no way to see someone who is doppled, which I find lame. In the old days, you could type where (at least if they weren't sneaking), a bit more recent you could see people with a pk flag next to them on where, now none of this works. Perhaps there is some way I still haven't found, if not, it is incredibly lame. For classes where first attack is crucial it gives an insane advantage.

Oh, yes, doppel is so overpowered. Making the ability actually work the way it was supposed to, and eliminating all the easy-outs that allowed others to effectively see through the doppel is just lame. *smirk* Oh, while we're at it, maybe there should be a toggle coded for all cabal powers, so others can ignore them if they want to, just in case having to deal with that stuff in a pk situation inconveniences them.
Or maybe you'd rather doppel just be changed back to the way it was when the Entropy didn't show up on where at all, and you were just completely screwed?
Doppel works the way it should, and is balanced. You won't find any easy tricks to get around it, you'll have to be smart and on your toes to get around it.
And if you think that's overpowered, go try being Entropy.

> Second, other that the fantasmal killer is pretty unfair, I don't see any reason it should cause an xp loss.

Wah, wah, wah. Try playing a race that isn't horrifically vulnerable to it. Even as a fire giant there are ways to beat it.
If you die to the fiend, you get what you deserve. Moral of the story is, don't die to the fiend.
