[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8991769, member: 6704184"] Thank you! I think some of these issues are a matter of the language needing updating or clarification, but I’ll go over all these features with an eye toward that as soon as I can. Lethal is too central to the identity to push back significantly. I think it’s also very minor at low levels in the current build, but I’ll double check.
