Dulrik, when you made spirit dolls into a symbol for shamans, did you intentionally leave them with 2 greater enchants(10 total enchants)? Opposed to normal symbols which come with 3 total enchants.

I honestly don't remember changing it to a symbol. Was there an announcement from me making that an official change? If so, can you dig it up for me?

I don't see anything by you about it. Not sure who else would have that ability, though?

They're definitely symbols now, though. And been that way for a while. Used to be held in your hand, prior to that.

Being held in your hand is what I remember. A couple of people might have had the ability to change that, as the item slot does not require code access. When did this change take place?

Some people should understand how to not open a mouth, or type things out.

Probably been a year or so, really.

I did a search and had to of been after 2010. Found a post by WW saying she would rather hold the spirit doll then use a weapon.

Did some detective work.

1. The idea was originally proposed by a player here:
http://www.shatteredkingdoms.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=20173&p=334147&hilit=doll#p334147

2. At about that same time, I made a thread about easy ideas to implement here:

3. On the immortal email list, one imm compiled a list of all the things that were said in the second thread, and although I can't find the doll suggestion anywhere in the second thread, it looks like the suggestion got added to that list.

4. In response to that email, I said I already had a list of changes and I would get back when we wanted to make any additional changes based on the list in that email.

5. ? -- Undiscussed change occurred.

6. Today, Wicked Witch mentions that doll is currently a symbol, a change I have no recollection of making. I am pretty certain that I would never have made that change, as I feel strongly the symbol slot should only be used for religions. And also the fact that it was specifically given double stat bonuses because of the inconvenience of using a hand slot.

7. Effective immediately, new dolls will once again only be holdable.

So, once again they become worthless except for in voodoo situations? I would think that if the stats were maxed out earlier, they would rather have that then not being usable. Which was the problem originally.
