Title : Worm Changes
----------------------------------------
Hello. With a mere month until the release of Dune in theatres (and HBO
Max) I messed around Tsunamis version of Shai-Hulud. There have been some
changes that need testing and feedback.


1. SLIGHT DECREASE to base swallow calculation.

2. SUBSTANTIAL change to the damage-floor. The maximum amount of damage
you could get did not change but it should function much more like other
skills where the damage is somewhat unpredictable but no longer giving you
rounds of 5 and 6 damage at level 19. This is likely over-turned
currently. Assome of you may have already guessed this means you will get
much more consistent digestive healing to counter-act all the belly aches.


3. MODERATE reduction to the damage you take per-hit from swallowed foes.


4. SURPRISE ATTACKS when you swallow from tunneling. Careful having that
team fight over the rumbling ground next war! Will consider adding for
constrict but wanted to test this first.


Things that did not change -- some information to help you love your worm.

a. Every round there is a (not insignificant) chance that you will spit
out each of your goes regardless of how good or how poorly your digestion
is doing. This is not based upon skill or the size of your foe. Its always
present. Its designed this way intentionally and those hunting hits hurt.


b. From the moment you swallow something to the moment you spit out the
last items your stomach has what is basically an hp pool. This pool varies
nd is set the second you swallow something. Once that pool hit zero you
spit everything up and take all of those nasty hunting hits. What this
means is that if youre chain swallowing and your stomach is always full
then you will inevitably spit everything out. So give your stomach a break
for a couple of rounds every foe or two. This might explain the
indigestion you sometimes get.


c. Hunting hits are, as they have always been, your worst enemy. So be
careful when swallowing things larger in level than you. Or several things
your level without the appropriate precautions.


MUD MAIL me detailed feedback. Have not touched bile. Weve only got a
month until Dune comes out.
