Re: [Wesnoth-dev] Some Modest Balance Proposals:

[Richard Kettering]

I vote yes to all of these changes, in the form that James/EP proposed 
them.

I also reiterate my vote to reduce the xp-to-level for the Goblin 
Knight from 150 to 80 - this will be an especially good thing to pair 
with these elvish changes, as he would be a good opponent for them to 
fight against.


Possible names for drain attack:  Devour, Consume, Leech, Spirit Siphon
