It's even a valid word outside of City.

I thought it was too, but noooo.
Well, I did get "EXPAT" out of it for 3650, but still.
You mean, there are *other* games besides CoX? Who knew?

And those are just some of the games on my Steam list alone.
Sad, I know...

dunno how big their dictionary is, empathy, empathic or the like probably would have been fine, but i have only heard of someone as an "empath" in comic and sci-fi terms, usually for a form of a psychic. case in point, firefox doesn't know the word. I remember back in grade school in english class having to convince my teacher that polymorph was a word, while pretending that i didnt learn it from dungeons and dragons |

I'll get a spelling and grammar checker right on that!

Actually it's status as a real word is slightly questionable. While it is definitely used outside of the CoX context it doesn't appear on dictionary.com or in my copy of The Chambers Dictionary. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the OED to consult |

. I think while it has been used a LOT in science fiction and has started to enter the public lexicon as a logical derivation of Empathy it hasn't yet officially entered the English language.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.* Thanks Shadowe. I tried checking the OED's official site but they don't have a searchable dictionary there.
And that definition is why I don't think they healing set should be called Empathy. But that's just me.

Well, oftentimes in science fiction, the emotion-feeling ability is accompanied by the ability to absorb the pain of others (hence the power name). But, yeah, it's iffy.
Dec out.
