Was just thinking since neutral sliths have the ability to swallow a corpse that perhaps the ability to bite an opponent and poison them might be a relevant and hopefully not overpowered thing for them to be able to do. not automatic in combat like their tail trip or anything but more like a ferals fury thing or an illithids leech, just a thought.
Possible neutral slith ability?
It would be nice to have a relevant ability (edit: In comparison to cham/eyelids. Obviously tail swiping is VERY relevant). Sliths used to have 3 abilities, and for balance's sake they were split up. But of course, not all of them are equal. I'm glad you reminded me that I have the ability to swallow corpses, because I honestly forgot.
Maybe swallow could just be changed to heal you up to the level of the mob? Or give you some bonuses for a very short time? It's not that abusable because once you swallow once or twice, you're full.
I like the idea of a small bonus when eating, but to be fair I think that whilst being a good/evil Slith has a 'cooler' racial perk, one of the bonuses to the neutral Slith is that you're, well, neutral.

Agreed
I agree with both your points and think the possible bonus when you eat is a good idea, i just dont think that swallowing corpses has near as much allure as cham/eyelids, though as you pointed out the auto trip and of course the tail damage should probably be incentive enough to play one, but i have always kind of thought that a bite skill would be a neat thing to have, and with neutral sliths swallowing corpses they kind of reminded me of komodo dragons, which have some pretty nasty bites.
They all still have the "shed" ability, right? If yes, why not give it to neutral sliths only?
That will not make the current neutral slith any stronger, instead it will weaken the other two. Are you trying to balance the race in comparison to itself, or to the rest of the game?
I have played neutral slith. And from what I experieinced, they're fine as it is.

That's the point. It was changed because of the 1001 neutral slith thieves dominating a while back.
Sorry corpsestomp, was not around for that, though i would agree that when they all had all the powers, they were pretty tough.
