You should totally dump Sif for Trog then use all the spell books on ENDLESS FIREBALLS MWAHAHAHA. Seriously, though, I'd say keep Sif. I don't have much experience with Ash, but I know the whole cursed items deal sucks.

Ash is... pretty incredible, actually. If you've got channelling from another source, whatever spell access you need, and the ability to survive Sif's punishment, I'd totally say go for it. The auto-ID, limited detmon type thing, the varying XP related junk... there's a lot of good things going on. If you've got channel elsewhere and the spells you want, sif offers... miscast prevention. Well, and free amnesia.

As for the cursed item thing, it's not actually that bad, since the whole auto-ID everything will mean you pretty much never use remove curse scrolls for anything but kit changes. You still get enough from being partially bound that you can just leave a couple slots open if you need 'em for quick swapping.

Prayers of Ganbo. Favorite track in Grandia I, but the whole game's relatively solid.

The Little Sprite. More accurately, the entire bloody soundtrack for Seiken Densetsu II & III, as they're made largely from distilled pleasure. Kikuta in general's just pretty nice, as far as music goes.

Yeah... if fame is a set value (even if it's hidden), it's still ridiculously easy to fix up, though requiring ever so slightly more effort. If we reach that point, I'd be happy to try to walk y'through it if you have some trouble. It really is a tremendously painless process. Requires basically zero technical knowledge, to boot

When you spend a lot of time in a warm/cold environment, your body adapts to become more/less heat retentive. Your lineage also plays a role... although sometimes the genetic traits populations have can be a little odd.

... over twenty years in this flipping hellswamp of a state and I still can't stand it. Give me sub 60Fs any day over 110F in the shade (w/ breeze) and near 100% humidity. Or anything above around 70F, really.

Florida'd be really nice if it weren't for the temperature and the people. And the bugs and the snakes. The alligators and hurricanes and swamp bits are fine. I'd just like to exchange the swamp bit for bog, from what I understand. A cold, bugless, snakeless swamp sounds just delightful.

I also found an absolute treasure trove of sea shanty and Scottish folk song MIDIs that I can easily convert to sheet music.

Woah, woah. Can you share this bounty?

There we go.

*applause*

Much better done than I would have managed, too.

Breaking glass is one of the more beautiful sounds the world has to offer.

I can't help but wonder just how much effort it would take to make a breaking glass voice transformer whatsit...

Depending on the type of glass and method of breaking, you can probably get a pretty full tonal spread, or whatever that's called. Collecting the samples would probably be fun, too, if expensive.

Be an interesting project, anyway.

IMO, regen ring is freaking incredible for a lot of the game. I mean... look, regen is like half of what makes trolls merely fairly shitty instead of absolute crap. Now put it on a minotaur which is a lot like a troll with somewhat worse UC and basically none of the downsides. I'd wear it as my standard kit and switch in res rings as necessary. It makes a lot of things pretty much absolutely trivial, though it does mess around with your food clock a little.

And yeah, heavy armor Mi has some trouble with casting, especially if you go large shield, too.  Now, going with two-handers, you've got a bit more leeway, and can maybe pick up that shield spell (and eventually TSO).
