Loving that there is a fresh new power added to the Entropist repertoire that has some neat little facets that I've admittedly not had a chance to fully discover just yet.

I have a request, however: Is there any chance that there could be some kind of benefit added for shifters since casting isn't really their thing? The only half-useful targeted spell that they have is fumble-- but against a rager, that's a pretty good way to get two-rounded.

Maybe some kind of added damage or affect that progs randomly (magical chimera head sprouts out and bites for minorish damage or something)... Just a thought. It makes me sad seeing a cool-looking power in my power list that I cannot really utilize.

Regardless of your response, I very much appreciate your efforts.

..can't use weapons so can we hook up some flaming silver claw attacks?

I can't brandish or recite in form either so I'd like eye laserbeams as well against undead.

To play the easiest and least involved class in the game.

'HOLY MAW OF WRATH' (3060)

Syntax: call 'holy maw' <victim>

A Maran shapeshifter may focus upon the Phoenix and belch forth a beam of pure, unadulterated wrath from his or her inhuman maw, burning a wicked foe with the strength of his righteous, vomitous anger.

I think the general purpose of the skill is to make life in a low head count all mate cabal slightly less rough against battle by partially bypassing spellbane. Shifters don't actually have that inherent problem so while the skill is a bigger help for other classes I don't really see why something would be thrown to shifters that don't have the underlying problem the skill is meant to address.

I haven't seen the skill in action so I could be totally wrong in my assumption that it affects only/primarily spellbane but even with that said it's goal seems to be on assisting offensive casting which is not a primary part of the shifter kit.

I mean, every other mage class has some; it'd make the life of a formless shifter slightly more bearable.
