Rash what is going to happen to those of us who picked races with innate regen abilities? This new change pretty much negates any of the benefits that we recieve at the cost of reduced experience when grinding. Are there plans to remove the XP penalties tied to these races since we no longer gain the benefits of increased regeneration? (Troll, Ogre, and Iksar)
Valid concern. You'll still be getting those benefits while in combat and while out of combat, but not resting. Beyond that, though, I'm considering dropping racial XP penalties entirely for a variety of reasons, this one included. I have issues with them and how they cause friends who play together to level at different rates and eventually be unable to play with each other anyway.
