Their core skills&lt;br&gt;are now awarded as you gain levels - much like spiders, mummies,&lt;br&gt;beholders, etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;New levels:&lt;br&gt; VENOM: 5&lt;br&gt; SPIKE: 10&lt;br&gt; LEAP: 15&lt;br&gt; ROAR: 15&lt;br&gt; RIDDLE: 19+3&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This change is indicative of something that I want to see happen&lt;br&gt;to many subclasses here. I dislike that at level 1 you have&lt;br&gt;the same abilities that you have at hero levels - just that those&lt;br&gt;abilities work better. Your character effectively doesn't change&lt;br&gt;(other than getting beefier). This, I feel (as well as others),&lt;br&gt;doesn't give players something to strive towards.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As you login a manticore your experience in these skills will&lt;br&gt;be refunded (I've checked the math, it's correct) and you will&lt;br&gt;lose those skills. When you level up you'll gain the skills.&lt;br&gt;The 'You gain skill Foo' text is kind of bland and Morganti's&lt;br&gt;writing some cool flair text to make this be more thematic.&lt;br&gt;Expect that in the next few days.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Expect this kind of change to happen to other subs around the MUD&lt;br&gt;but I also intend to give other NEW things to those subs - including&lt;br&gt;manticores.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Which brings me to manticore ideas. I need ideas for manticore&lt;br&gt;&quot;things&quot; such as new skills or abilities. One thing I want to&lt;br&gt;do is make the manticore a quest-based class on some level - after&lt;br&gt;all, they're the master of puzzles and riddles and if anyone should&lt;br&gt;benefit from quests it should be the manticore.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm considering making the skill rewards based on quest completion&lt;br&gt;and also perhaps a greater (double?) experience bonus that comes &lt;br&gt;from questing a manticore. If you have ideas about this questing&lt;br&gt;bit please MAIL them to me (I get so many tells, it's hard to &lt;br&gt;carry on a brainstorming session through tells except from a few&lt;br&gt;sources at once).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'd like maybe a new skill or two to be rewarded based on some&lt;br&gt;hard quests completed. Perhaps a high level quest reward that&lt;br&gt;let's your manticore weaponry upgrade? Manticores have long had&lt;br&gt;poor weaponry (even though they have probably the best stats in&lt;br&gt;the game for a combat class). Ideas, ideas, send them my way.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; - Razan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
