These changes look really awesome imo, I'm excited to try a few of them out!

The spellpower bonus animates basically means that the animates are stronger or weaker based off of the necro's spell power rather than just level? Or is your spell power just added into the strength of the animate and the level of corpse?

And there is more to come soon!
Any hints as to what area of the game this "more" might be?

It means that animate special abilities such as chill touch and paralyze have a better chance to land now. It's based on the power of the animated dead, not the necromancer's personal spellpower.

Some additional things for tribunals, a few more class ability tweaks and some bug fixes are next on tap.

This makes me want to play a griffon paladin again.

This is old, but I can't make sense of it. Why did dwarves get prone resistance and not giants? Dwarves should not have it at all, and giants should if any biped race does. There are already enough benefits to playing a dwarf vs a giant.

I'm curious the theories behind your dwarf v giant assessment.

Historic numbers have generally seen more dwarven spellcasters than giant spellcasters. But otherwise, pretty much all metrics for racial representation as long as we've recorded it has shown giants to be vastly more popular selections for adventurer and warrior classes. Up until this update, dwarves + centaurs + minotaurs have consistently been the least-popular/least-played races in the game as a whole.

Other changes including the prone changes and reduction to enhanced damage have hurt the giant brand a little bit, but still do not appear to have substantively changed the metrics described above.
