I've got about half of my strength back, and my endurance. Found that last one out when I got hit by a truck a few months ago. I also managed to find my dancer job stone—if I lost it, Nashmeira would have my hide—and I can use it, but the most advanced techniques using aether are still closed to me. Even if I do the steps, I can't channel energy at all!

[He sighs.]

I also have my sword and shield, but I don't have anything to show for the time I spent training to be a paladin except some flippy sword tricks. In a fight, though, I'll be better on the front line than you since I can take a hit.

When I've fought monsters here, I've mostly just been an annoyance. Impossible to kill, even if I'm not doing the damage I would at home.
