Understood. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to see the benefit in much else with the glare from a major shaman revamp in my eyes either.

Maybe sometime down the road you, or someone else can revisit the idea. I do agree that this isn't a significantly important issue, though it is small annoyance that affects every character. Plus I like idea of increasing the tactical significance of reducing int/wis/con, since right now it's only very rarely useful.

Ah well, at least I'm glad I didn't get the "your idea is so unimaginably stupid I'm only replying so that you will never have to mention it again" which could be the alternative.
