Hi.
Tumbling should be seriously looked at, some races can tumble in or under 1 second, not sure which, but either way that's just too fast.

With a diminish spell, Faelings can tumble almost as fast as they can walk. I agree, its a bit odd.

I'm not complaining though.

imagine a titan at size 1 tumbling....

yeah gruhks thing for a while was, why walk when you can tumble

Diminished Faelings can do that too.

(And because it loses your entourage, Alger. )

Well Faelings have got to have something that makes them good, and tumbling's about the only one... no Faeling nerfage! *glares*

Remember the Tumble races on Achaea's 350th?

Oh, THAT'S what that was? I had no idea what tumble was when I played Achaea. (I was THAT far apart from combat.)

It's not ONLY faelings.
You got dwarves, and furrikins too.

I seriously doubt dwarves/furrikin can tumble fast enough to complain about. Small size has its advantages and disadvantages, just as large size does.

You seriously doubt that a race with size 8 and 6 can tumble fast enough to complain about?
Your doubts are seriously misplaced.

Have you tried entering a geomancer demesne with a race of that size? Or trying to bring down a wall?

For the mildly small races, I think the advantage in tumbling/writhing speed is fine.

Faelings, well, they're extreme and the ease of tumbling debateable.

Furrikins need to tumble. What the hell else do they have. Don't take it away from them

We have our racial tumble, but that's actually slower than tumble is at our size. (I think. We tested it on a shrunken dwarf and roll came out slower than we would have expected from the 1 size difference.)

The fact that you can tumble out of almost anything is what makes very small races that tumble in a blink of an eye like... immortal!
You start damaging them they tumble out, you set them up for soulless they tumble out, you put ice walls they tumble out, Visaeris is a prime example of this, someone fight him and see how annoying it gets, Ceres as well, and many, many more.
I'm not saying they shouldn't tumble, ofcourse they should! I am saying their tumbling is just way too fast.

It makes PK even less attractive on the astral plane, or Offplane, just because I know if I'm going to attack any of those people that kill Magnagorans or defile shrines they'll be tumbling until I run out of supplies. And that's already happened, so why bother PK'ing?
Is this meant to be this way, to discourage pk?

It's the level 3 fast balance as well as the small size.

Have Daevos or Murphy hit Ialie once with a sword and you will see just how mortal she is.

Not everyone is a warrior that can do 3k damage in one pulp or combo.

How about it gets slower if you're webbed/stunned/etc. midway or something?

And not every warrior does that much damage with a pulp or combo... I feel so weak when you guys talk about the amount of damage your doing AND I have runes.
