I don't understand this change. I've never seen transmute metal to wood abused nor can think of a way to abuse it. On the contrary, it forced interaction/easy-uneasy aliances between the playerbase and also had an element of failure built-in.

Anyway, not a HUGE deal since with the current playerbase, to play a felar ranger one needs to be mad or get off on boredom really.

Thumbs up on the empowerment change.
