From the helpfiles and from what I have read, it was to my understanding that one would not have to revert to receive the wisdom bonus needed to obtain practices. With my current shifter, while in form (the forms I have have a 15 wisdom) I have only been getting three pratices. Without giving too much away about my character I should be getting more. I have prayed about the problem and I was told to bring it up upon this board. I am a defense shifter major, and for the biggest part of it I am in form tanking, so it has been a problem for me. Although it has only been about 5 ranks I lost my practices (this # I am not certain about, but I am hoping the imms could look at my character and see how many it was), I would like to know: if something has been changed, am I understanding the helpfiles wrong, or is something wrong with my character. I would be glad to give the name of my character to an immortal to see if something is wrong or broken with my code. Or, told that I am just misunderstanding things. Anyway, any light that could be shed upon this would be really great for me. And if I have to, I will go back to the way it was before the changes and try to revert before the last kill I need to obtain the next rank.

In form, you use your natural (unmodified by gear or form) stats.

It seems I was still young by age means, and I was using gear to up the stats of wisdom and con. Thanks for the help.

There is a minimum requirement of 18 wis for 3 practices. So I don't think this is getting based off of your form wis.

I thought that you dont have to revert because you only get the practices/hp/mana based on your out of form stats anyway...

I did too as well. However, for my current shifter this isnt happening.

You are likely wearing something that lowers your wisdom *IF*
you are playing a high wisdom race. Otherwise 3 is what you
are looking at anyway.
*hint*
rem all
C identify *most likely thing to be the cause*
c identify *next most likely thing to be the cause*
repeat as needed. hehe.
Besides you need to practice that spell anyway right?

Considering what Nep said above I was obviously like you know...
WAaaaaayyy wrong. new piece of advice never ever ever listen
