Hi, everybody. I'm glad to see that IA v 6.5 has released.

However, I felt that this version was not intended for experienced players, but for novices, because the newly added items are TOO OP, and I think they are even more powerful than the items in the Four Mod.

In the previous versions, for example, the amount of weapons with additional crushing damage or magical damage were rare, and the gears which could increase APR were difficult to obtain. However, IA V6.5 adds many items with these properties. One of the most outrageous pieces of equipment I think is Treefolk's Fury +5, which has the damage of "1D6 +5, +10 vs. unnaturalcreatures, +5 crushing damage". In other words, the weapon deals a total of 21-26 damage to unnatural creatures such as golems, undead, etc, almost twice as much as any other weapons (In previous versions, the most damaging weapons averaged only 13-14 damage, such as the hammer of Thor (9-18, 13.5 average) and the Judgment Day (7-21, 14 average)).

In addition, I used to be very interested in the robe of Eloquence, because it required an evil protagonist and could bring an experience that no other gear could. Unfortunately it was cancelled.
