Summon XP penalty removal is fantastic. Riposte was flawed. Changing shields to dex only seems like a casual change, but it's really smart in the recent trend to move away from dull all STR melee games. Lesser Beckoning was indeed too powerful for it's spell level. Interesting duel change with Okawaru. I predict it'll be used as a means to heal back up by dueling something that can't hurt you much (before returning to danger), but we'll see. Glad to see a fresh new god and background.

Riposte had an unfortunate effect of losing effectiveness with shields. I hope to see Riposte as a normally generating ego brand for gloves, like archery. Ignis, as a formicid player, is very interesting. Its like starting the game with several very powerful teleport scrolls. I love it. Great changes.

Well, I guess they will be eventually... That probably wasn't great wording on my part. My one worry with Oka's changes is, what if a demonspawn worships them and then gets the demonic ally mutation? They'll either have a worthless mutation, or have to change deity in order to use it. Perhaps if a demonspawn would roll that mutation but is currently worshipping Oka, it rerolls?
