(D.13) Dragon, Ancient Green

The Dragon Shapes all shared the same skin, with pitiful 5/+1 Damage
Reduction and no fear aura, and although it claimed to be an Ancient dragon skin it was actually Adult dragon skin.  This fixes that.

Green Dragon skin, but still allows only 5/+1 DR and no fear aura.

Suggested replacement: Green Dragon

(F) The Multiclassed Shifter XP Penalty Bug

Currently (as of version 1.61 at least), Shifters with a tertiary base class (i.e., Druid/Shifter/Fighter or Druid/Shifter/Monk) suffer from a nasty bug which penalizes them 20% of earned experience points.  Why?  Simple enough, from game mechanics:  since you actually *become* a Minotaur, Wyrmling, Basilisk, etc., you are no longer Human or Elf or whatever.  None of the races you Shift into lists Druid as its Preferred Class.  So you're earning experience points as
a Minotaur, but since Minotaur is your Preferred Class while Shifted you suffer the 20% multiclassing penalty, no matter what race or class you are naturally.

As always with the 20% XP penalty, if you're careful to keep your base classes within 1 level of each other it can be avoided.

Pure Druid/Shifters of any race do not suffer from this bug, nor do Shifters with a tertiary prestige class (i.e., Druid/Shifter/Champion Of Torm or
Druid/Shifter/Assassin).

Currently the only known solution is to cheat:  at level up, use debug commands to grant yourself 20% of the XP toward the next level.  For example, if you've just made 15th level, you'll need 15,000 XP to make it to 16th.  And 20% of
15,000 is 3,000.  So type this while in-game:

`DebugMode 1
`GiveXP 3000 (the cursor changes to a select cursor - select yourself)
`DebugMode 0 (check your character sheet to see if it worked)

Let's hope they fix this pronto, especially for Shifters on Persistent Worlds who may not even have access to the debug commands.

(G) Other Bugs

(G.1) The Bonus Attacks Bug

FAQ reader Jamie (jamie13@cox.net) reports a Shifter bug while Hasted:

It would appear that Haste, which should give an extra attack at your highest
Attack Bonus, instead just gives you an additional attack at the low end of your existing attack sequence.

Unshifted         +24/+19/+14/+24
Shifted           +24/+19/+14/+9
