[QUOTE="anest1s, post: 5858721, member: 94230"] So...if I catch a thief and eat his brains, then I know his full life...I can work my way to the top of the thieves guilds ranks and take over so smoothly, no one will even notice. [B][/B][U][B] [/B][/U]The +1 to the ability isn't really helping (except if it stacks), if it was +2 it would give +1 bonus. You could make the ability to last for x time after it is first used or until it is discharged...and make a small pool of abilities you can have stored at any given time. I don't know about illnesses, but they could damage your pool for some time, or last for limited time. Also, if you want to limit the knowledge a player can get by eating someone who knows too much, you could say that he gets only the last x days memories. [/QUOTE]
