Thank you for the update.

Cool changes!

If you really wanna fix the game to make it more of a challnege. Up the legend requirement from rank 20 to rank 25. It is a drastic difference to get from 20 to 25. People would have to focus more on 1 character and you woudlnt have a TON of legend shit going around and solo'ing things like they did wipes previous

Trial and error man! This will be good i think, dargos were amazing but way too op. naked with haste buffs last wipe i think i personally saw 22 str 26 dex and 25 con
amazing and definatly a bit broken lol.
The only real odd thing here is yes that minotaurs cant be evil, if they cannot be evil they should also not be good. I mean at least make them neutral and throw a story line in about why they hate evil "and" good equally!
I just cant fathom giant angry bulls being very nice to anything before they would choose to stomp them dead for sport.
I forsee a buttload of late wipe gnomish nightmarers! mark my words!!! Gnomes will rue the day!

Are you by a chance a blind man who's been given his sight back?

Goblins now have excellent strength and intelligence? I sense another typo!

[muddeer]

I'm not clear.  These modifications are relative to last wipe's race stats/saves/etc. or to some baseline (i.e., human)?  For example, hylars always have gotten save vs magic bonus.  So now hylars get even better save vs magic, or simply better than the average (human's)?

edit:  also, does this mean Kagos are better bashers or better at avoiding bashes?
"Receive a bonus to their bash modifier."

Could we get confirmation of this strength and intelligence race? I don't recall any race ever having both since 1997. I wasnt gonna play this wipe, but then I read the announcement and figured a healer, shaman, dk, and mage might be kinda fun if goblins had str and int.

Kagonesti are now better at avoiding things that put you on your butt, i.e. bash, charge, etc..

Not a typo, the smart little goblins have been hitting the gym.

@gnua

  Goblin DKs and Shamans have been awesome for a while.  Always struck me as odd that most people didn't make goblin DKs and shamans unless they were making an exotic race or had a different ingame goal.

  I really can't wait to see some more updates, these race changes just seem interesting.

I don't know about others, but NOWclan has been making goblins for wipes and wipes. Whatever name I had for my DK last wipe (two wipes ago?) was a goblin.
