Daresso's Spite: Only fools ignore their fear. Courage is wading into battle in spite of it. - Daresso, the Sword King	762	13.77%
Daresso's Prudence: A seasoned swordsman never goes into battle unarmoured, even when he's confident his opponent won't land a single blow.	603	10.9%

That preservance text is the best IMO, but the word trick just does not fit in there. Neither in style nor in semantics. A "trick" describes an act of deception and in modern language is commonly used to label a clever strategy. In this case the word seems to be used inadequate. Try to figure out what "trick" stands fo in this context (a wise decision, a way not everybody knows, a sign of being superior...) and replace it. Could be like: A champion can tell them apart. Or: You fortify by telling them apart. (to bring that in) Edit: written on my mobile (please get responsive :) I came here to drink milk and kick ass...and I've just finished my milk.

This might be asked, but what happens when you have Iron Reflexes, will it still count evasion and you get no bonus, as it is 0 ? Or does it account for only having armour, thus granting damage for all the armour you have?	Posted by tradzhedy on Sep 14, 2016, 4:07:58 AM Quote this Post

Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs. ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/balancedux]► ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/one-vision1]►	Posted by raics on Sep 14, 2016, 4:12:10 AM Quote this Post

It's in the wrong tense, it should read "The trick is in telling them apart."	Posted by habbey on Sep 14, 2016, 4:18:55 AM Quote this Post
I voted for Perseverance because it has the best text among the choices, but the feeling is that all of the names & texts were chosen based on the belt's implicit modifier, rather than on its explicit. The result is that I don't think that any of these name/texts works well, but now it's too late for this. /oos	Posted by Xcava86X on Sep 14, 2016, 4:25:10 AM Quote this Post
