TRADITIONAL SAYINGS TO LIVE BY

• The Redeemer is NOT a melee weapon.
• Wings of Air are only useful when you have enough Mana to replace them in a hurry.
• Invisibility does not apply to wings, or the halo.
• You can't "rocket jump" with a Level 10 Lavaball.
• ... or a Redeemer.
• It's been five years since you've scored a frag with a chainsaw.
