I have a question, it is me or this version of the dark word mod has the breeding collar and the normal dark world does not have it, it is normal?

[TriggerBlade]

Some suggestions.

 

1. The fae characters should probably be kitted out with the PoD fae traits

 

2. The demon characters should probably have the PoD demon traits.

 

3. Some of the mages might benefit from having the mage traits.

 

Just for variety.

1. The fae characters should probably be kitted out with the PoD fae traits -> I think about it.

 

2. The demon characters should probably have the PoD demon traits. -> There is only the demon race trait in PoD, this feature was never really developped

 

3. Some of the mages might benefit from having the mage traits. -> Mages are getting the PoD Traits after a while. PoD mages can learn the DWR Traits if they have a wizard Tower

 

Just for variety.
