[@shivershiver] Awesome, well written bio that I really enjoyed reading. Officially approved! His drinking abilities are balanced nicely, although I would say the stat changes are a bit modest. Still, they can stack with the default alterations I had planned already. For example, an average man might gain 1 strength from drinking an ale, but Merek could gain another +1 on top of that, essentially making the effects more potent. Overall I like the idea. I will be expanding further on the impact of statistics on the OOC frontpage, so I suggest everyone takes a look at it every now and then to make sure they're all caught up.
