It looks like a bug from .97 hasn't been fixed yet. Steven Lembark reported that his sustenance went to -29 when worshipping the Devourers (this was before I got on the list, but I saw Mark Wedel's response). Today, on my .98 server, one character (a Wraith) decided to worship the Devourers and immediately died, due to the same thing. A quick other question: I'm going to hack his save file to fix that. I take it I just need to change "digestion" to -3, as per Mark's comments on 4/5/01 about the proper number for it, correct? SeanMike
