In Reply to: You can't "avoid" crowds all the time. And yes, it's only *one* power, but so were nightgaunts. So was tesseract, so was eyes of intrigue. So was charm person. These things all had the potential to ruin the game as well. n/t posted by You Don't Want To Know on December 02, 1999 at 08:28:54:

I'll give you that, dopple does give you protection
and an easy first strike. One thing I can say for all
you complainers, maybe you have convinced the immortals to
watch barons more closely so as to see how they *use* doppel...
whether to just pk or seriously cause confusion.

Zor, maybe kill a few without doppeling (i'm sure you have
already)

As for the reply. No, you can't avoid crowds all the time...
but was is chaos for, we want you to split away from others, I think
doppel scares the shit out of people enough to do so. So maybe if you
have such a hard time, you should try even harder.

The difference between Doppel and Nightgaunt, or Chromatic Fire
and Deathblow or etc, etc...

Doppel doesn't bring you to a group of 5, doppel doesn't hit you with an <> at
rank 21 ( I won't even mention 51st rank deathb), Doppel doesn't
allow you to see the exact room that someone is standing in, it also doesn't
gate you and a group of 2 others to a single target.

And the same with muddle, gibberish and chaos blade. Septach is right, none of
these kicks the shit out of people though they can be very useful if applied right.

Who would win? a hero human warrior in entropy, or a human warrior in Village...or Empire...Or
sylvan (assuming one existed, pardon if one does). All these other cabels have very
offensive powers. The fun thing about an entropist is we can cause a ton of chaos, whether we
stay around to finish the kill or just leave someone gibberished and muddled is up to the Entropist.

Neblarken, yes, he agreed and said that doppel'd was overpowered. Only if
you used it like he did. He was a good rp'er, but i'm sure he made great
use out of doppel to assassinate people. I don't believe doppel should be
toned down on account of two classes. Big whoop if a thief doppels and
blackjacks you and gets a doublebackstab...you have time to run away.
And the same with most other classes.

Anyway, i'm sure I left something else or mixed up
my words. I'm at school and have to type something
down...any suggestions or replies are welcome.

But as for detecting a doppeled person, those ideas
were already posted and valid, so read em before you
reply to this.
