<p>I like your thinking on this. You have a place for monsters, but
didn't put any on the list. I've been playing on Metalforge
recently, and I've found pixies to be worthless monsters. They
seem to usually have wands but never use them. I seem to recall
they used their wands at one point in the past, making them
randomly dangerous.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi guys and gals,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've been spending a lot of time playing crossfire lately
and the discussion around a new release prompted me to think
about some potential balance improvements that could be made.
I am thinking about some of the more fundamental aspects of
the game such as player race attributes which do have wider
ramifications that adjusting maps, therefore, I have created a
table on the wiki to document these potential changes and
provided a little description around the rationale. </div>

</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not suggesting they are perfect or that there isn't
better ways to address some of these issues, but i'm really
focusing on the low hanging fruit that I can actually assist
with.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I welcome any additions to these balance changes and I
might suggest a poll of some description as we approach
release to confirm any specific changes. Thoughts?</div>
