First I want to thank you for helping to promote Shamans by re-introducing new versions of the old cythera boons as they look like they will be fun to use but i have some questions, first what were you smoking when you made the prereqs? haha just messin. Some are in line with the Boon they build towards but i see no relation with others and the prereqs list seems incredibly long for some.
Bless as prereq to turtle boon makes sense as both are simple buffs
Cure Light and Serious for elk boon seem a little odd as they are minor heals and boon of the elk is a dexterity buff but this could be just to make the spell a little harder to get and is not a big deal
Cause light, Serious, and Darkness make sense for wolfs boon as it increases damage and gives infravision, althought it seems infravision should come before darkness but i like the thought
Boon of the Eagle gets ugly though, detect aura is a no brainer but cure blindness, create water, and control weather to sense life and detect invis? really dont know how making clouds pertains to seeing hard to see objects and i also dont agree with taking detect invis out of their skill tree and replacing with a spell that has 14 prerequisites
Boon of the tiger also looks like you threw darts at an ALLSKILLS printout. This boon makes you hit harder in combat so where do command, blindness, curse, word of recall, summon, illuminate, and rune fit in with combat damage? other prereqs that arguable make sense are chill touch, magic missile, incindary missile, fireball, call lightning, and lightning bolt which do cause damage, but not in the sense of "tiger" style combat.
Boon of the Bull increases constitution and hit points, an interesting spell but i dont understand how Feeble Mind, which makes casters semi retarded, helps to pump your own hps
finially Boon of the Horse, being dedicated shaman only needs all the above named spells to learn, 32 in all
It just seems to me that there is no linear pattern to attaining these spells that is apparent in all other spells. If you like the way the prereqs are set up then perhaps make the boons not dependant on each other, perhaps three branches of them looking like:
Turtle > Bull > Horse.... all 3 being armour and HP related
Elk > Wolf > Tiger.... enhancing damage and agility
Eagle > (new Wis and/or Int boon) > (new increase mana and/or spell quality boon for increased spell damage)
with the boons not dependanton one another, shamans could choose a path to support their play style, either fighter or caster without the unnecessary and unwanted prereqs of the others
yea that may be alot of talk for my first post but i felt i needed to share my thoughts and feelings
also Blobs, lay off the funky stuff when assigning prerequisites *w00t
