Speaking of birds... Would it be possible to increase the movement speed of all the various bird forms you can take with polymorph, etc. Perhaps add a "dimensional door" style movement to simulate being able to fly higher? Or maybe even have an option to move from town to town as a bird?
I changed into an owl with this amazing idea that Hypatia was going to be able to zip right over to Valkalli from where I was hiding, utterly unnoticed, and do her business. Instead I found I wasn't moving any faster than my slow human form and the crag cats still wanted to eat me. Other than role playing, I guess I'm not sure what the "owl" form is for. There was a small boost to spot... but some better movement speed might be nice at least. Seems like an owl ought to be able to outpace a human, and then at least the form would be great for making an escape!
