Flexing in combat is a perk, not a necessity. There was a time when you couldn't flex, so the fact that it exists at all is already a benefit. In our hypothetical situation, the alternative to Kregarn flexing and losing power to re-def is hav…
Unfortunately, you're often better off sticking to the Prime Material Plane until you're bigger, better able to defend yourself, or run away. Most reasonable players won't kill novices t…

I think raids are a fair consequence to the benefits of having giant realms with endless mobs that can be influenced infinitely for free experience/esteem by order and city member…
