Probably an awful idea, but I'm putting it out there.

As for a PISORF character, the problem with this is that, like the transmuter, its performance is largely based on the number of walls in a dungeon.

I don't think CYDSTEPP is overpowered, so much as (1) Rogues are overpowered with it and underpowered without it, and (2) too many bosses (and normal monsters) are either particularly vulnerable to it and/or particularly strong against most other strategies (dealing heavy damage, having relatively low HP, having high magic resist, inflicting weakness/corrosion or reducing resists, etc.). In particular, I recognize that Gharbad was a relative pushover but nearly tripling his HP was just overkill (and that's even after Bleaty has already had his stats reduced once) - particularly when Medusa and the bandit boss (the true weaklings, IMO) are essentially unchanged.

Rogues could be fixed by increasing their HP and decreasing their attack bonus (-2 HP/level, +30% damage would probably be fair) although I think that makes them a lot less interesting. I'm still fond of the idea of increasing their offense boost but making it only kick in at > 50% HP.

Warlords are a solid class as is, I think - not too powerful, not too weak, relatively versatile and fun to play as. I'd rather not see them altered too much.

And I seriously doubt we are going to see new glyphs anytime soon, if ever. And personally I'd much rather see the existing glyphs get some balance tweaks - WONAFYT in particular needs some kind of change, probably a complete overhaul, there should be some sort of change to reduce the impulse to scum for the third tier glyphs (like my glyph shop suggestion posted elsewhere), etc.

I'd also kind of like to have IMAWAL work on empty tiles, creating a wall but not giving an experience boost - that would make PISORF and knockback damage in general much more reliable, without really unbalancing anything.

WONAFYT is REALLY useless... and the IMAWALL idea sounds good! Believe me I was not happy when stone fist destroyed all the walls relatively near Evolvia, as a half-dragon. Here's an idea for Tomithy Longdall, make him corrode and weaken you too! And as for Medusa... just more hp is fine. Bleaty is by far the worst boss concept. It requires CYDSTEPP, or an obscene amount of magic power. (555 hp and 50% resistance in grimm's grotto?!) Bleaty needs a complete change. Nothing should have damage above 200. Even Björn. Or Rex. How about giving him normal stats and resistances. It is an interesting challenge that makes you try to defeat resistances.
Bleaty
Hp: 318
Damage: 75
Special: Resist 50% all

Speaking of lousy glyphs, the glyph magnet preparation that gives you either First Strike, Bysepps or Wonafyt is so terrible it's not funny.

Unless you're an Orc intentionally looking for a poor glyph so you can convert ASAP I suppose.

LEMMISI should have its cost lowered to 1.

WONAFYT should create a specially strong monster, but give you 1.5x experience for killing it.

BYSSEPS should have its MP cost raised to 4, but make it stackable (up to 120%).

I don't think GETINDARE needs rebalancing.

I like GETINDARE...

WONAFYT shouldn't create a monster, it should up a monster's, your level or higher, stats

BYSSEPS would officially be the most incredible rogue glyph... combo with CYDSTEPP, and were talking 7 level higher kills.

Yes! But WEYTWUT would still be rather similar.

How about removing first strike from the slow effect, but making it stackable and lowering the cost for WEYTWUT? Each time an enemy is hit, it loses one level of slow. The slow effect would still make enemies with first strike lose their status.
