HOLD ON RIGHT THERE!!!! I do recall very specifically doing this once a LONG
time ago, and it may or may not even be in the Nagee's that Lester has. I
also remember other people getting really upset with me on -this- list as to
this suggestion, one of them was very similar to yourself Rune (nudge nudge).
The idea, I still believe, is a good one. I just don't believe we can view
the "Bug Spirits" the same after that point. IF such a change is made, then
for lack of better terms, the -entire- Bug City Saga would have to be
considered "Toxic Insect Shamans" that are out of control. Not that I don't
see that is possible, especially in light of the other major changes headed
this way, I just don't see it as Probable.
I know we've used similar ideas (-Other- Insect Spirits being -nearly-
playable) in the games. Hell, the time Binder went for the CAS draft and ran
into an Ant Shaman just about caused him to schiz-out (old habits vs. the
newly aquired understandings).
