 <<Just thought of something: since all Waha khans (or was it shamans?) have
access to Fix INT, why don't other tribes have "herd Morokath"? Is it just
that Morokanth make really lousy domestic animals, being unrideable and
lacking thumbs? >>

     So do impalas, if you're not a pygmy. However, this would follow
directly from my heretical theory about 'Fix INT'. Since IMG, it does not
transform the digestive tract of the subject [1], a herd-Morokanth is a damn

expensive thing to keep; it just can't live off that scrubby crud that herd
animals (including herd-men) eat. Morokanth IMG are omnivores, with a diet
similar to humans, and Fix INT won't affect that. The same is also true for a

Fix INTed human, which is why IMG this spell is not used in the same way it
will be in most other campaigns.

[1] note that while this is apparently rejected by most (not all) Digest
contributors and other RQ players I've spoken to, it is consistent with the
description of the spell in both GoG and ToTRM #15.

Forward the glorious Red Army!
