Agreed, but Goblins pay a bit more than humans for spells to make up for

Yeah, your not the one casting Spells! :-)  I keep wishing for lvl 5 Blink,
because I am SURE not going to buy it at 200!

How about a race specialty - Minos can headbutt reguardless of height. (I
always pictured a mino bending over and charging anyhow. :-P)

: 	First, what level is the headbutt, how many times did you try to

: successful then most other "physical" skills and at level 5-6 you can't
: expect to hit and do damage more then 50% of the time versus 1500+ power

: 	Second, if you don't think that landing that headbutt helped you
: in the fight and that headbutt didn't help you in the tournament, and yet
: you did win that fight and quite a few others, then it seems that
: mino's are good enough that they don't need anymore improvements. :) That
: seems to be Hugh's original comment.  You aren't siding with him are
: you?  :)
As for the skill being effective for you: It depends on what height you are,
and your skill settings.  If you chose to be full height you will not be able
to headbutt alot of people, but if you chose your height for headbutting, you
might see better results with it.
