I think furrikins should get an upgrade of some kind. I mean, seriously, there is no reason to be one other then for roleplaying possibilities. We can't fight, cause our health and strength sucks. Yes, we do recover balance maybe a second faster, but does that really matter when one attack can knock out half your health? I'm level 61 and I -still- can't bash water alone. I've had people tell me to influence.. well you can't really do that unless your trans influencing and I can't buy credits, so I guess I'm outta luck.

I'm not really gonna gripe about the exp disadvantage because a lot of races have that, but jeeze.. I see no point in anyone being a furrikin unless they wanna be cute and fluffy..but even that doesn't help me much.

Furrikin need level 2 balance (They have 16 dex. Only one less than a regular faeling. Give them lvl 2). Just as the Elfen get lvl 1 health/mana in nature rooms, so should Furrikin. They're both forestal races. With that alone, Furrikin will make for decent knights, with the new changes.

I'd just like to be able to bash and not die as fast as I do when fighting. I've just gotten so used to it that I don't even try anymore and if you've ever fought me you know I either teleport out or just stand there...

If they could regen health or anything for that matter in some terrains.. It would be the shizzle..

Yeah, furrikins really aren't really usefull for much of anything, but we all know you love being furrikin anyways

And dont say shizzle ever again.

No no. We need +1eq, or more INT. >_>

And Joli: While I do agree that we need more stuff (as I just said) I think that we're getting shafted for the same reason Lucidians and Trill are, i.e we're supposed to specialise in Ackleberry. So, we're not going to get anything.

yeah, the little ones, if I had to make a wildly speculative and only somewhat informed guess, would be most likely to take the Ackleberry specialization if/when it came, based on the way things are now.

But if they decided to just... melt Ackleberry...

In the histories, it says that furrikin used slings.

Racial ability: Runes skill. Toss in Erion's lv2 balance upgrade.

BAHAHAHAHA.

Okay, that's ridiculous. And I agree with Acrune

Really, most of the races are ultimately only there for roleplay. Because of how specialization races are used to encourage population clustering, the vast majority of races are inherently and intentionally out of balance. It's just a matter of some of them being more out of balance than the others.

Yes, and it's the latter part that's the issue.

STATISTICS:
Strength : 9 Dexterity : 16 Constitution: 11
Intelligence: 12 Charisma : 14 Size : 6

12 int doesn't justify +1 eq. 16 dex DOES justify a lvl 2 balance. I'd say level 3, but you already have roll. Which is like tumble, isn't it? Throw in a level 1 forest regen for furrikin and tae'dae, drop the furrikin lvl 1 penalty to xp, and drop the tae'dae down to lvl 1, and you'ld probably be pretty fair. But lvl 1 eq is rediculous and serves no purpouse.

It does make sense from a certain point of view.

Furrikin = small animals = fast metabolism = live fast (and die fast. haha) = act fast = faster balance

BUT also:

live fast = think fast = faster EQ

eq bonus infers some sort of intelligence. They'd be like me on sugar. I might be able to move and talk fast, but it doesn't mean I'm thinking fast. At all.

So we high elfen, with our 17 int, should have a level 2 eq bonus? That's not how it works. You balance high int with slow eq, and lower int (mugwump) with faster eq. Furrikin having a level 1 eq bonus would be interesting and fitting, in my opinion.

Mugwump - 15 INT. +2eq.
Merian - 16/18INT. +1eq.
Elfen - 15/17 INT. +0eq.

No correlation. I'm with Cuber on this one.

If Furrikin get a +1 eq bonus, then they wouldn't be getting the FAR more sensible +2 balance. And, I imagine, if you even tried for a 1/1 eq/balance, you'ld lose roll.

Heh, hardly anyone uses roll anyway.

Stop giving races balance bonus, think of the Aslaran. Their only benefit is the +2 balance but they suffer a nasty -1 sip penalty and low Con. We don't need another race with a +2 speed balance.

I'd rather think of Dracnari. And I'm not thinking of upgrades... really, if they're so powerful to be on par with specialised races without specialisations, what will be when Gaudiguch kicks in? Unless it really will be a Lucidian city with Dracnari as slaves...

Har. Dracnari specialization may not be that great, though. I say give the furrikin +1 balance then, a level 1 sip bonus. Har.

Furrikin do not need updates. Why?
Estelbar death commando training camp. All Furrikin should go there for mandatory training. Wretches.

Bah could of sworn I posted something, but it didn't load apparently.

I heard we were supposed to be gaudigauchs specialization..now ackleberry?

Make up your minds people, so I can go ahead and get started unlocking said city and become the uber furrikin mistress of (insert city/commune's name)

I think the whole racial imbalance is horrid.. the merians have their whole complex with themselves and Dracnari is just overpowered..It's like if you're not merian or dracnari you're just screwed. (or elf for the Serenwilde peoples)

Yrael, if they had a camp that gave furrikin's better stats and stuff.. I would so go.. >_< We're cute little wretches..

And what's wrong with me saying Shizzle???
