It has come to my attention that things in the realms are kicking the #### out of me. I've noticed this for some time and am now going to officially complain about it. Yes, I said complain. It wouldn't surprise me if this hasn't been addressed already. If so, I'm addressing it again...

...........................................the dog #### outta me.

I find this most amusing as me kicking them produced an 'injured' result. You'll also notice that my black iron longsword at lvl 9 = their PAWS at 'doesn't have a fighting chance'

Would you please tell me which dojo these wolves, stags, gibberlings and other kickboxing Kung-Fu animals go to? Is it some private club? Or can I join and have them teach me to be a lvl 3 ***OBLIT*** ass kicker too?

Kung Fu training or not, if a wolf kicks you, it will probably hurt, what with their claws and all. At the stage in a shamans life where you fought those animals, you had no defensive skills to speak of, didn't have many hit points, and clearly weren't doing a great deal of damage. In essence, you should have been very wary of them. Sorry the consider wasn't accurate in this case. Sometimes it can be misleading. It's meant to be a general guide, not a definitive statement, as in, you will never lose to something that considers less than you.
