Well, Block adds Melee Armor, yes.

And Dodge adds Agility, while imposing a small penalty to Melee Attack (chance to hit) at levels 1 and 3.

Until recently, I have been convinced that Agility was worthless, broken, didn't work worth a shit. But now I am starting to have second thoughts about it ...

JD,

I don't know about East London , but I know that I saw you while playing for the DBM championship, downtown Athens.

Nice to meet you in person.

I think Hallowean is celebrated as it is in the eve of all Saints day. :? And yeah I heard about that in Mexico a festival celebrating that is featured in that movie with Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas - Assassin. Which incidentally is rather good if you've never seen it. :)

Is Hallowean, a pagan (Celt) holiday??

I read somewhere that "In Great Britain in particular, the pagan Celts celebrated the Day of the Dead"...
