Oh, and I love the prone idea. I would add to it that probably because of the way actions are set for npcs, you often can't even tell when one is prone even when using the "look" command.

Would an additional (Prone) tag around a short-desc in the room be appropriate, then? Since an action modifier may not work well on some NPCs?

Grep, I'm not sure. I don't know enough about the way the code is set up to know what the right fix/workaround would be. I just know it often doesn't display that NPCs are prone and guess it has to do with their "action" settings.

If an NPC has an action set they don't display as prone if they are not in direct combat.

Most of these changes sound good, one issue.

Why may another "limited" piece of equipment that needs to be specially built into areas?

It seems like it'd make it much easier to just work under the assumption that any helmet can be modified to fit a minotaur, that or as someone else suggested just give them an innate AC to their head that increases per level.

I just don't think putting even more specialized single use equipment(horseshoes, barding, griffon weapons, etc) is in the best interest of anyone.

I know you didnt mention this, but ive an easy change.

Make it so NPCs dont throw things anymore. My Scout takes less HP through combat tanking naked then trying to spear them.

Any word on the town crier idea?

This doesn't require any coding, it can be added via scripts. I cannot speak for the other KDs, but I'd be willing to add one to Ayamao. Feel free to send me a PM with more details and/or descriptions.

If it hasn't been already said... Multi-class.

At master you have a choice of having starting another class, however you can never GM the character since your character in no longer focused on one path.

No, no and no.

Edit: To clarify further no, no and no!

We don't need necro/sorcs running around sk. Or Shaman barbs.
