I actualy kinda enjoy that in Ox or a Bear shape im able to carry almost tripple amount of stuff back to vendor, especialy after some big fights ... since i dumped Strength ...
But i would totally agree that Cat (and possibly raven, didnt try that so far) need some adjustments. :-/
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings.
Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
