Yay for meat shields!

That, or, Give them a big two handed weapon and let them get at it.

Hmm Maybe the mages could find the tome used to create the tshahark and turn Luminier into one!!!

That ritual would be pretty cool to have actually. There might be quite some humans to turn into tshaharks!

Sorry, but I don't think that mages would be willing to perform such a ritual.

Why not? Especially if they were able to reverse the ritual. (Which would likely require some powerful things either way, so no changing on a whim, etc.)

Make the game a little more interesting, IMO.

Wouldnt such a ritual be a "sin against nature" Yeah I think it would.

How would it be a sin against nature? Didn't the tshahark work the first time around? Wouldn't some of them like to be human again? I think so. Could be some good RP, ganandorf

Sorry, I was referring to turning humans into tshaharks, which is what krelji said mages would probably not be interested in. Guess i should have specified.

Well, the mages back then most likely had a solid reason to "try" such a ritual (countless insects). This later became a problem (background story, i.e. when tshaharks were "hatred" and hunted down)

Btw something interesting there:

the human kind has forgotten their hatred of the tshahark

Arborea right now did not seem to forget

As for mages of today using that ritual ... If such a ritual would exist, components available etc... why would there be no reason for all mages to try that? A mage with his tshahark slave bodyguard roaming the world.

Tshahark....slave? Don't you mean well-paid (in boar meat) tshahark assistant?

That might not be reliable enough. What if someone offers more boar?

How about this ... a tragic romance ... two human lovers ... and one turns the other into a tshahark (no idea why though ...)

To rescue the lover from teh Sathos. S/He needs to be stronger, and decides to go ahead and become a tshahark, and hope the lover recognizes their new meatsuit.

lol @ "meatsuit"

Crazy new word.
