    I'm new to the forum, so I hope no one has already reported this. . .

    After you reach a certain magickal aptitude, tech shopkeepers (inventors, gunsmiths, some blacksmiths) won't barter with you. However, I just discovered a way to circumvent this.
    Cast the shrink spell on yourself before you talk to them, and open a dialog as usual. They'll make some remark about your size, and you'll have the option to trade with them! I've tried this in the Armorer in Caladon, and then confirmed it in the shops at the Wheel Clan.
    It's probably a bug, but I think if someone came into MY shop and they were only a foot and half tall, I'd be pretty distracted, too :wink:

    And they say size doesn't matter. . .

    OK, I explained this already. They have to wear the padding because they run head-on into each other at high speed. Without the protection, they woould become brain-damaged, like rugby players. :grin:

    I've never kept up with college football so much, but there's orange EVERYWHERE around here! Vols fans have orange cars, flags, bumper stickers. . . you name it.
    But the Titans, however. . . I know them. I've never seen a city so supportive and proud of a football team in all my life, and I'm from Dallas Cowboys territory.
