conversations.value: AlterForm: With the pillar bonus...barely a miss. Since you have real healing with Crusader's strike, I don't think McToughy can actually win without pure dumb luck. You also have a viable ranged attack, something MT sorely lacks.

conversations.value: Sallera: Greatsword, so I believe that was a crit, but nonetheless...
  
  Thanks for the match.  I've been curious about how this would go since I made Ayl, although I didn't have the Incarnate level planned at the time. ^^
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: AlterForm: McToughy might pick one up next level. 70-80 effective HP seems plenty enough, and the dissolving spittle is delicious as a ranged attack.

  You won even without the crit, which is better than winning with it. But yeah, MT's a bloody mess now.
