You head outside and fire off a bolt of lightning into the air (-1 MP) with Erale following you. She gives a sigh and leads you by the shoulders to the potion shop, but not before giving you a jolt of electricity.
Erale: "Mikoto, you silly, cute girl, why?"
"Because I can!"
Erale: "I wonder if you fit in the hero's bag."
Two of you quickly reach the potion shop, which is adequately named "Potion shop." Both of you letting yourselves in, you enter a room with shelves on the left and right walls full of bottled liquids, and a counter ahead with a woman behind it.
???: Can I help you?

You take the Hero's Bag and say thanks, and then follow Mikoto as she heads outside and fires off a bolt of lightning into the sky. You sigh and take the girl by the shoulders and lead her to the potion shop, while using Lightning Sparks to give her a small shock.
"Mikoto, you silly, cute girl, why?"
Mikoto: "Because I can!"
"I wonder if you fit in the hero's bag."
You ponder the idea of stuffing Mikoto into the Hero's Bag until the two of you reach the potion shop, which is adequately named "Potion shop."

Allocate 1pt to aim, 1 to SP. Visit the guardhouse. Look for another way in.

Re: Into Unknown Lands - (6/6) - Roll 22
Shouldn't my strength from the spear technically give me more carry capacity since it's buffing strength?
Either way, probably a good idea to reword that
"Thanks." Head to the forest and find that damnable boar.
"Come out, come out where ever you are..."

Active stat boosts on items only apply when the item is being used, such as a sword's STR boost applied when it is swung, a bow's AIM and STR applied when it is fired, and a helmet's PDF when it is struck.
However, inventory is certainly an issue. I'll see about making it easier to work with. Doubling the weight you can carry based on your STR should balance it out. Also, you guys are intended to be getting into the hundreds of levels, so you'll have a large number of points and such.
But yeah, I'll look into it.

Re: Into Unknown Lands - (6/6) - Roll 22
Frankly, I think you shoulda given 'em a few more points to start out with. Or make the starting number for all stats 5 or something. Because the average person tends to be stronger than a baby by default, ya know?

Re: Into Unknown Lands - (6/6) - Roll 22
Babbies are level 0 creatures, all 1 stats.
Will definitely start newer players on a higher level though, probably equal to the average level of current players.
You could pull what Suikoden does, and make it so that the low level characters level up significantly faster. [SENPAI] It helps, especially when you manage 108 characters, in a 6-person party game.
