#296, "Shifter melee damage types"


  

          

In the spirit of blunt attacks no longer being a terrible thing due to the immunities mostly removed, could something be done about forms stuck with other commonly ineffective types? Namely, that would be poisonous/freezing/acidic bite. Maybe they could automatically do plain bite? Doesn't feel too right that those 3-inch teeth cause no damage because you're immune to poison, and a shifter can't adapt to it as well as others.

#297, "Santa Zulg abides for 1 of 8 forms"

I looked this over and the only form I think tends to lose in this situation is the trapdoor spider. So I've changed it's base attack to bite and added a venom skill that allows it to secrete poison.

The other forms are balanced in the fact that you have a major and minor focus (hence other options), and there isn't one form that is optimal for every situation.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
