A few thoughts...

[Ryan]

Loving the recent updates!  Just thought I'd drop in with a few miscellaneous thoughts on some things:

1)  Now that we have all these nice Phoenices in the game, wouldn't it be cool if Ash Eaters could live up to their name somehow...  And eat the ash?

2)  Ash could potentially be an item rather than a creature.  This would seem to make more sense to me somehow (and would make for slightly more interesting gameplay where Phoenices were concerned...)

3)  Creatures which generate quanta (Rays Of Light, Fireflies, etc.) don't seem to have their ability listed in their passive abilities in the info box.  Is that deliberate?

4)  I believe I read somewhere on these forums that the reason for Immaterial creatures' abilities is that they occupy a different plane, and only enter the same plane as the battle when attacking - hence they cannot be targetted, but as they join the same reality as us elementals when attacking, they can be affected by shields.  So, that being the case, shouldn't it follow that an Immaterial creature frozen by an ice shield should be stuck frozen in the same plane as the battle, and should therefore be targetable again while they're frozen?

Anyway, must get back to playing the game - all the best to everyone!

Now. I do like your 4th point.

I made a thread ages ago regarding the issue of Immortality, Aetherial, Fire Shields etc... I'll try bring that up when I have another rant at the injustices of the whole Immortality debate.

I think the Passive ability is still to be added. The Attack/Attack Max and Defence/Defence Max as well as the Status: Frozen/Delayed and for how long - all works perfectly fine.

Happy hunting!

I answered your fourth point in a different thread.

The reason, or so I believe, they freeze and stay immaterial is because immaterial is a reflex, not only a conscious thing. It's like breathing. 90% of the time you are breathing on auto-pilot, not controlling your own breathing. But you can control it whenever you want. But if you were to be strangled and once you passed out your neck was released, you'd go right back to breathing normally again, only unconscious. The same thing happens with Immaterial. When they get frozen, sort of like being unconscious, their reflex takes over and makes them immaterial again.
