Increased the level at which death points occurs to level 20.

Why??????????????????

Why??????????????????

To lower the barrier to entry further. Death throws an unwelcome complication to those who are attempting to learn and grow in the game and by lowering it we hope to spread out the learning curve a bit.

Was the Confectioner school taken into account in this decision? I know that beginner confectioners have to make meals for starting level players. Now those meals are useless. The only purpose of making them now would be for learning in that craft school. They would serve no other purpose since there would be no death points available to remove for those meals.

So confectioners will learn early in game that you won't get rid of your grinded food until you hit T5 and T6.

• A distance check is now performed when gathering.

I see that you did not consider to relax the distance will gathering a bit (compared to start gathering) to make fishing non lethal for smaller bipeds? Sad...
