Why are the Brungar unable to walk on Coastal Reaf although even the description sais they live in marine rocks?
After far too long an absence, I have returned.
According to the quiz 100% Silver Mage (85% Archmage, 75% Shyde, 67% Flameheart and Ancient Wose,58% Assassin, Troll Warrior and Berserker). And my top score is exactly how I see myself.

My guess? We missed it? lol, when the faction is back up and running we'll make sure that's fixed (it probly is, in the newer versions already though.) But if it isn't, Pent, movement is/was your dept, so could ya just dbl check that? (when Huston's computer is forced to think that it's not as old as it once thought [try using reverse psychology :P])

Being a proper noun, Nordhris should be capitalized (nitpick, nitpick, but I just though I'd point it out). Other than that, it's awesome. :)

nice description :) , my only comment would be to maybe split up the 3rd sentence, 4 commas in one sentence is a bit too many imo.

I'll probably post the lvl2 prowler description tonight sometime, I always seem to get more creative at night for some reason

I've broken it up into two sentences but I think it sounds just a little bit too choppy now. Any suggestions for how to change that?

I might get another description up today. Depends on when my brother finishes practicing violin.

I don't know anything about the concept of the Nordhris, but methinks it should be "usage" (not cost) of the ingredients. My little nitpick for the pile.

Apprentices have only just begun to learn the healing arts, and, though they are not the most effective healers, know how to use herbs to their maximum potency. This lets them be reduce the cost of ingredients.
how about changing it to:

how about "reduce the amount of ingredients" because they can get a great amount from one rather than needing many...? Just more nitpicking :).

But, could apprentices always "call down violent gusts of arctic wind upon their enemies"?

ok, here's the description for the Ravager:

and while we're at it, anyone have any ideas for a name change? I remember we were talking about it before, but nothing was ever decided.

Well, considering a "violent gust of wind" will really at worst make an small child fly a couple of feet back, and apprentices have a 4-3 cold damage ranged attack I don't think it's exaggerating much.

Maybe you could take away the "if they return before one month is up" part, since finishing early isn't really a bad thing?

What if we call them "Arctic Avengers" because their stealth in snow reminds those few that live to see them of elvish avengers?

that actually wasn't what I meant (though that means it probably needs to be reworded anyway). It was intended more as you have to kill this many animals and survive for this long. Therefore if they came back early then they would be assumed to have been unable to survive on their own for a month. I'll go fix it to make it clearer now.

Now it says "or without return without at least 40 hides".
