Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Grey Empath?
A 'Grey' Empath is one who deals a limited amount of damage to their opponent, straddling the line between totally unshocked and fullshock.
Grey is not a permanent affiliation or a commitment to a certain way of life. Your character could be someone that normally does not harm others, but would be willing to attack to defend themselves or protect someone they care about. It's more of a mindset that could be entered into during certain situations, as much or as little as befits your character's roleplay. If your goal is to become the ultimate PvP Empath, that's great! But if your character would only attack to defend themselves or others, you could absolutely think of this as a self-defense class.
- Am I "big" enough to PvP?
Yes! Anyone can participate in PvP, and with challenges and/or arena death prevention mechanics there is almost no risk. Your attitude is more important than your skills, and with the goal of learning and having fun it's easy to be a winner! Now with Wyvern Arena equalization, skills and stats can be equalized between any two opponents.
- Can anyone attend?
The course is open to Empaths of all skill levels, while adventurers of any guild and persuasion are free to audit! We are also looking for non-Empaths to serve as sparring partners. If you are interested in participating as a sparring partner, please contact Illiya or Akeiro!
