We've barely had a summer here in Scotland. I think one day it was 20 C. Woot! Now it feels like winter :( Don’t even joke about summer ending. We’ve barely had a summer here in Scotland.

It took me forever to decide on the appropriate balance between the micro-level impact on my existing and potential characters versus the macro-level commentary. I wrote at least three times as much as I ended up posting. One thing that has me slightly intrigued is the addition of NPC tracking to several races. The irony is that many of these were Scout-favored anyway (good one, SOE) but maybe it would be worth putting up with less-than-ideal stats and the less-than-exciting looks of the half-elves or furballs to get that perk on my hypothetical Wizard. I will really miss the fire breath, though. As a Warden, there are times when all four of my CA's are on cooldown and I have nothing to do but wait for a button somewhere to light up. I'd use fire breath even if it only did 1 damage, simply because it looks cool and is something to do while I wait. -Verdant Dasypodid That post was a bit of a nightmare to write.
