RESPONSES TO LAST WEEK'S BY ANAKIN:
Quote:
Ferro: as bright and intelligent as Illithids are, we can't identify things? Why not
give it to use as another spell or an inguild spell.
Frizban: make identify a hero skill, then maybe I'd stop submitting ideas like 'scroll'
Frizban: sneak for heros
>>This would just make illithids even more powerful than they already are. :p You guys have all the decent spells, you don't need more
Quote:
AMystery: mobs should automatically pick up food. at least scavengers, but preferably
all. then we give kenders a better poison spell so they can taint food and leave it for
a mob to pick up. then there is a chance it kills them, or just poisons them
>>Just to add to this if not yet obvious, kenders getting XP from the kill
Quote:
Ferro: when you cast a spell you are already affected by, it reself the duration of the
spell
>>I thought this has been brought up before, is there an argument for this because I concur to the idea.
