How does tumbling avoid inquisition?
Since, you know, it doesn't require you to stay in the room it was started in.

Erm, I'll stop talking now

Subj: Envoy Updates

We are trying out a new system of envoy reports wherein the envoys give
us monthly mini-reports on the top combat balance issues. This does not
replace the big updates that we do a couple of times a year, but rather
is meant to allow us the opportunity to redress the major balance that
the envoys have pointed out. Here is the first batch of updates that
your envoys have selected.

+Shadowdance Flight can no longer be used while off equilibrium.

+Shadowdance Flight and tumble cannot be done while impaled or
crucified.

+Racial effects for tumbling, both positive and negative, have been
slightly reduced.

+The ability to invest powers in demons and angels is now queued so the
entities will cause afflictions in the order invested.

+Necromancy Leech and Night Succumb drain mana with less reliance on
percentage of mana. Also, Night Succumb has a minimum amount of mana
that it drains regardless of the skill level the target has in Magic.

+Night Summon Cauldron takes less time.

+Sprint-type skills use the "don't be hasty" walking balance instead of
normal balance.

+The Allhex ability has been removed and Hexaura ability moved to
Transcendent. You can now use whammy and doublewhammy with hexes within
your aura. Hexes should also follow you if you change elevation.

+A new crow skill has been added that allows movement of one's nest.

+You can now burrow upwards in dreamform. (This wasn't part of the mini
report; rather, it is the solution to prevent a bug that some innovative
dreamweaver discovered.)

There may be one or two more mini report changes coming but this
represents the bulk of them. Note that this does not cover some major
warrior changes that will also be done that was a result of the special
warrior summit that Roark conducted.

Hexes will be crazy now. They removed their only disadvantage.

I hope Succumb is less crazy now, and I like the sprinting change.

The Hex change isn't "good", it's overpowered. Allhex was used on noobs who do not know how to cure a lock anyway. And now hexers can carry their hexes around and doublewhammy with them. That removes their only disadvantage - lack of mobility.

+The ability to invest powers in demons and angels is now queued so the entities will cause afflictions in the order invested.

+Sprint-type skills use the "don't be hasty" walking balance instead of
normal balance.

Guardians really didn't need this, they were powerful enough before and it makes their combat pretty damn easy.
