feedback on recent changes
I really appreciate how the monster damage descriptions have updated!
The buffs to Palentonga feel fair. I feel Pal had been really hurt by the opportunity attacks. The shield nerf also hit them pretty hard.
(I still feel it should be changed in a way which benefits them, ith the shield penalty not completely eliminated at 27 skill, and a formula that allows species with the "require less skill to use shields" property to actually use shields better with less experience invested. For example as
With Refrigeration and Ramparts checking AC now, I get where you're coming from.
I'm a little sad because I would have preferred the opposite solution of making ice clouds not check AC (and granting immunity as rC++ and reducing the damage to compensate).
I hope you might consider this possibility if you ever have to revert this change
I love the limited Ash mutation protection and the new (randomly appearing) items! (Though ?Butterflies feels less good than ?Fog . I guess you have to stop the power creep somewhere )

- shield_penalty = encumbrance^2 / 4^(shield_skill / encumbrance * (1 - size_factor *3/20))
- shield_penalty = 2/5 * encumbrance^2 / (20 - 3 * size_factor) * (27 - shield_skill) / 27
