Here's something interesting I read on stratics, coming directly from a UO developer:

"Also, Slayer weapons have no effect in PvP UNLESS a player is in a different form - for example, Undead slayers will work on a player under the effects of Vampiric Embrace, but Repond slayers have no extra effect on player characters (elves or humans). However, a player in an undead form will NOT do more damage to an opponent using Repond."

Is RunUO currently like this? If not, that would be a very nice addition. No more necros running around in vamp with only a fire resist penalty that is easily countered

It did work but I'm pretty sure I removed it as with the addition of talismans and double slayers poping a 200 in pvp would be rediculous. There's also a mage slayer property which I will add since with the new items mages are already at a slight disadvantage depending on what their oponent is using. I think the mage slayer prop was OSI's version of balancing mages.

You could make it so that only talisman slayers do double damage in PvP. That wouldn't give mages any advantages.

Actually I was more thinking the other way around. A dexxer with max DI + undead slayer wep/talisman or both attacking say, a necro mage. Best not to have class based slayers unless there was one for each class.

Agreed.

Mages are already balanced most dexxers on this shard are archers and para than run so its not like its ez to pwn them.

hmmm, think the pixie swatter was funnier. Better than that was the regular, unenhanced, blacksmith npc purchased cutlass I killed Sanofi with.

lol @ Lymus.

But back to the topic... I agree with Nosferatu, archers have ranged undisruptable shooting (unless if disarmed, which is already hard as heck), while mages have to take the time to cast a FS (about 4 seconds) to do the same amount of damage. Nah, you balanced pvp already, other then the items.
