Considering that an axe is the most offensive kind of meele weapon, it should give attack and crit, just like crossbows, not attack and HP, when improved, right?
How can a Human be smarter than an Elf? I mean, an elf which is 17 years old had been in contact with many other elves, which can live over 500 years, keeping an extremely wide amount of knowledge, while human beings are too selfish to provide each other with their knowledge if they have a PhD or so :P.
It's kind of unfair. After you get the 4th character, you don't need lots of extra gold, but, still, the air wizard is way weaker than the Rogue, and in the end you realize that the Engineer as leader, Dark cleric and Arbalester as members make the strongest team. :P
! means critical hit...:)
