ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Regarding Electric Eels: As these can now show up in Trollmire, the problem they have early (two+ are highly dangerous, especially if accompanied by support that's even remotely capable) are now no longer limited to Yeeks. My proposal's this:

1) Buff their durability some.
2) Have them learn Lightning at L15. (L10? L12? Approximately at Lake of Nur.) This reduces a lot of the swinginess of Yeekstart, which is good; this also keeps Trollmire sane as a starting zone, which is also good.
3) As compensation, give them some small amount of electric damage on their basic physical/when they're hit. (And if that's already there, buff it a touch, because honestly it's not noticeable since they're basically lightning turrets as it stands.)

This should make those two zones more sane.

Also, while on the topic of alternative zones, a quick proposal - have it scale to # of classes/races unlocked? That way, as you get more stuff unlocked in game, the new zones show up more often, but for a newbie they're relatively rare if not flat out impossible to see.

Sounds fine to me. Electric Eels would be more of a danger in Nur and less of a danger at the start then, which is fine given that they're largely a joke by Nur.

Because that would be awesome. I was really hoping to see some of the alternatives when I rolled a char in SVN yesterday and was a bit let down that so far, i have not seen anything at all new besides a shivgoroth here or there in norgos. And my stupid ritch didnt want to attack it. And darkgod fixed that.

Nah he did the Eels change.
