Just a couple things that struck me were:

1. Stalker's Canopy still on the Planned list - Very surprising, considering the Invisibility thang and the fact that SoTT already gives a boost to stalking. Just wondering if and what changes the function of the spell will undergo.

2. Absence of Mountaineering - Bit of a disappointment, but with it seemingly being Tarragon's baby (so to speak) not too surprising since he's away.

3. Absence of Underwater Combat - Heh, I'm prolly the only person in the realms that still holds out hope that we'll see this one day. It'll be sweet!

4. Trapping - Sweet

Tusca - Ranger putting away his "Our Guru is ruining our guild" signs for another year. heehee.

I ended up missing the meeting since my little girl fell ill, but I would have jumped all over the part about fletching crossbows. As one of the few LX primary rangers (Saying 'few' because I know there has to be at least ONE other) I've been hoping that one day this would happen. My only concern was, would it be more like longbows (just mech/longbow skill) or actual forging which incorporates a little skill of all edges. Plus I have a hundred other questions such as reduced load RT's, strenth, balance, yadda yadda. Basically how can I get rich off making crossbows since I tan as well as a crippled novice Bard.

Anyhow, the meeting log filled in a lot of blanks, thanks for that. Some good questions were asked.

I don't see that happening seeing as how it takes two hands to load a crossbow any way you slice it.
