Follow up question for 3: so broadly speaking, it's kind of "whatever works within reason" sort of thing? Like if an angel got TWO pairs of wings could they be from different kinds of birds, since that wouldn't really change the base available abilities of the monster type? BASICALLY I already have two characters with a monster type each that's non-elemental (for the moment, at least) so I'm trying to make sure I have a feel for what is and isn't workable for those, especially if they do get shifted to an elemental monster later!
Also another couple questions I realized I should ask because there are so many monster options you guys, it makes the brain spin--
Easy one: for Knuckles specifically, given that he's pretty much fundamentally a cartoon character in terms of appearance, can monster regains be a bit flexible in looks to match? Like, there's a few brightly-colored birds and animals out there, but most aren't just straight-up vibrant RED. So would it be fine for monster parts/form to reflect this to an extent, or would that need like a separate regain to change the colors of feathers/fur/whatever it may be?
Slightly complicated one: I noticed some overlap in both monster abilities versus elemental abilities and even different monster abilities, so I wanted to check! If the description of a monster ability (e.g. Strength or Speed Boost) matches that of an elemental ability, I assume that they're the same ability and can't be bought twice to 'stack' them? In that same vein, the monster abilities "durability boost" and "hardened skin" seem to have a lot of overlap, but are they actually separate?
And honestly even just a mention that there were updates in the OOC post would be very helpful, if that's doable! I don't think think I saw any mentions of elemental/monster regains being updated since the second element/third monster slot was announced last November, and if I'm not mistaken there were a number of updates and additions in that time frame? Unless I missed something which is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE too. I will definitely look more into the discord feed thing, I didn't know that was an option!
