Well, this doesn't bode well...

I just hope the other persons question got answered.

- Does the Revenge armband cause a counterattack *whenever* the character is targeted, or just when a hit connects? In other words, is Riposte neccessary for a Bandit or absolutely uselless as the Revenge armband will do the same thing?

- So what's more effective in an accessory, reduce damage or increased defense? And is it all made moot by Critical Defense? Is that, in terms of real game usefullness, the best defense? Except for increased defense none of these tell you how much they do, the only hint the game gives us is price. Is because it's more expensive, does that make something more defensive than something else?

- I don't have a berserker, but I do have a bear and the berserk causing collar, so does berserk do something more besides take control of the character away?
