Talk:Spriggan

Sorry, looking at my charachter 's overview ingame I see that slow metabolism is only "2" for a spriggan. The wiki says "3" which is probably false. I'm gonna correct that. BTW it's a 0.11.2 game. -- Bwijn 17:48, 6 February 2013 (CET)

Spell Hunger & Spriggans

Working through a clean up of the final third of the species pages, but I have larger concerns here than just clarification or a bit of rephrasing, so I wanted to flag them for discussion before a substantial edit.

In my experience, new players tend to vastly overestimate the importance of hunger and worry more than they should (certainly more than they need to) about the availability of food. I don't think the wiki should encourage this misguided anxiety. So long as people are not preposterously wasteful and extravagant in using the highest-level spells they can, hunger is very unlikely to be an issue, even for Spriggans. (Perhaps one specific background, Spriggan Healer, will be liable to run into serious food problems, but that's it. Even Spriggan Berserkers don't have too much of a problem here.)

At most I've found that I might train a bit more spellcasting skill with Spriggans than I would for other species, especially if the RNG seems to be stingier than usual with spawning vegetarian food. However, with Spriggans' good intelligence and excellent spellcasting aptitude—plus their crazy high aptitudes all around—I've never felt that this made a difference on any of my characters or put any noticeable strain on experience allocation.

Yours, and into
