i can live cause i didnt know about it until a couple days ago. and i hate karate. but my dragon sucks right now cause i power leveled it with rods, and now it cant do anything... but the meditation skill is usefull, if only i can get a skill scroll. i have to start wathing those navar shops...

sorry, there's no meditation skill scroll, you have to be born monk to have it.
and karate for dragon is very usefull when the nasty creature in front of you is immune to your claws attack type... and it's a really fast attack.

Unless im mistaken, karate only does physical damage.. a dragons claws already does that

A dragons claws do many attack types. And with the ring of the Necro, dragons can get death attacks. But Karate and Dragon claws do not make up for on creatures that are resistant to all physical and elemental attacks, only death, draining, and depletion.
Thats where a humaniod comes in handy.

Which doesn't make any sense

karate is faster and does more damage than your claws. which is why everyone wants to use it. a good example is dragon men killing at low levels...

I understand that you like karate for speed, no argument there.
Karate does NOT add a new attack type, so it will not help you if the creature is resistant to your claws. Even if your claws are fire, physical and the creature is immune to fire the physical damage will still get through.
Since karate is physical, no additional damage would get through...

(Unless your karate level was close enough to or greater then clawing, in which case the higher speed might help, but that's deeper then I'm trying to say)

well you could always switch between karate and claws on a per monster basis, but its probably esasier to just claw, and attack everything, and if your elemental attack doesnt get through, to bad. wait for the next monster.
