Q1:

Skin of the Redwoods... what exactly does it do? That help files is VAUGE. I had it with Grecken and I couldn't figure it out really. All I came up with was that it maybe helped deflect blows with bark skin more often, or made it possible.

Q2:

Far Haven still doesn't work right unless it was intended to not ever work anywhere thorns can't be called. Sometimes on a new moon it doesn't work at all (which we discussed this.) But I thought about some ideas to it and I came up with two alternatives to it.

Since some Imm (who I love to death) made it so spikes can be grown on forest trails and forest haven now works on them (it didn't with Grecken), far haven opens up some choices like roads and stuff.

Option A) Nix far haven as it is and make it mutually exclusive with Initiate of the Desert and Swamp Dweller and allow for spike growth in the cities and far haven in civilized places. Call it Urban Warrior (or make an edge that allows for spikes in the ciites without the forest haven coolness. I'd take it! Only way you can fight a damn tiger is to nerf its dex as much as possible.)

Option B) This one's more likely. But since far haven allows for fields to be used under forest haven (or if you fixed it so that forest haven works in fields without far haven, then this won't be so cool), make it so that caves and other indoor forests can be used as well. Basically any wilderness, water, under water, caves, fields, mountains, indoor caves, and less civilized roads (non cities), even the brew house on the eastern road.

Idea 1:

PERSONALLY I'd like to see Swamp Dweller edge make it so that plant growth makes swamps instead of forests to open up the chance to use swarm of leeches more frequently. I might actually make a druid like that just for ####s and giggles. Thorns of Contagion, swarm of leeches, thornheart... yeah. I can see this being fun. a LOT of fun... unless you're the one having to deal with it.

Anyhow, thanks for working with me on it. I know it was frustrating and you did some cool work with it. Give me your opinion on some stuff, and if you don't, at least please answer the skin of the redwood question. This is the third time I've asked it.

Essentially, it makes barkskin very minor DR.

The new moon thing is fixed, I think. Not sure how much you played around with it after that.

As for the rest, I'll think about it when the next round of druid edges is being worked on.

The first time over a year ago I got the same cold shoulder treatment. I don't really understand why...

I also sent him an e-mail a month ago with the same stuff in it and got no response that way either. I'm guessing he has other things to do that are more important.
