> > 1) practicing is not fun, it takes far too long for many race/classes and specifc spells/skills. 6 hours for 2 or 3 increase in shapeshift is not good. I would like to see it a bit easier to learn things like this - specifically shapeshift as it dosent overpower the class or anything. trannies arent the easiest to play.

If practicing was easy, everyone would run around with 100% everything, and the low-int races would lose some of the penalties that should come with a low int. Yes, it's painful, but it's realistic. And if you think about what perfect shapeshift does for a trannie, it should be slow to learn. (Maybe not as slow as it is, perhaps, but slow nonetheless.)

Yep. When almost everyone who joins the cabal chooses berserker for -months-, it's a sign that things are out of balance, and the players know it. I wouldn't go as far as Hifflio, but it is a topic for debate. Bloodthirst is one of the most powerful cabal abilities, even with its drawbacks. Just being able to initiate combat with a foe that quickly is a huge perk.
