So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Just so it's said, pretty much all good changes by the looks of it. Kudos, and all that other ass kissery stuff.

On the Outlander Strengthening. I just tried it for Sapphire. Was that left off the list for some reason or was Sapphire just overlooked?

I'd suggest anchoring it at the top of the forum till the next such announcement, or doing something else like this.

Someone new coming to browse CF site and see what's this all about will surely see that the game is alive. Again, great stuff.

'Contrarywise,' continued Tweedledee, 'if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be: but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.'

Since I don't feel like registering a handle on Official for this...

"Race Specific Changes
Felar

I thought this was one of the (very few) advantages of being a felar shapeshifter. What about when I'm a feline form? Shouldn't that still count towards pack sense? Yes it looked odd when I would rank with cobra and get tearing claws, but wouldn't the "right" fix be to make it a bite, or at least to have feline forms unaffected?

Not that I've had a pack since Jhesar deleted, but can someone ask for me what is up with this?

Yes...I changed it specifically because it looks odd when you are ranking with a cobra.

As for the "right" fix...should we just make all shifters with cats count towards an inherant? what about other forms with a pack sense like wolves? There are more questions like this, and the short and simple answer is, no. It is felar specific, and in form, you really aren't a felar...you're whatever you shifted into.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
