As far as I've been able to determine, Gilnean druids (harvest witches) had abilities to help crops grow and probably heal the sick as well. I think it's the night elves who help them develop their druidic powers fully. Perhaps the worgen thing helps, but I don't think it's necessary, or at least not nearly as necessary as proper training from a race that has been druids for, what, thousands of years?
Also, I really tired of people calling the Celestial Steed "that retarded horse". I get it. You don't like it (then why do you own one?). It's sparkly and maybe silly, okay. But it's not retarded and for gods' sakes stop using that word. >:[
I agree, I think given a few hundred years on their own, Gilnean Harvest Witches would have ended up developing their own type of druidic culture. I don't think being a worgen was required so much as help from t he Night Elves in a 'tutoring' sense, anyway.
Yeeeeah. The lip thing totally threw me off, because that's exactly who I started thinking about. And um... while that man is delectable in so many ways?
It reminds me of Billy from The Grim Adventures, he would often stick his tongue out and lick his lips...or, more accurately, flail his tongue around in circles on his face. My point is, this made me chuckle.
Whoop, secondary thought, since you have so many and I forgot: it's possible to walk on a broken leg. A gentleman did it at a reaceway near-ish to where I live. He wrecked his car, got out, and ambled up to see what all the fuss was about.
This was because he was so very, very deeply in shock his body hadn't gotten to the part where it goes "OHSHITOW" yet, and it didn't last for long. Unless that character JUST broke their leg, no, they sure as hell aren't going to be "limping around" with it. Bandages do not make it better. A cast and a walking aid do.
I'm not even touching the broken back except to say NO.
My family jokes that I'm a walking insurance magnet. In my school years (which is to say, 5th - 10th grade) I'd been hit by no less than seven cars, while only two managed any high degree of damage

If I remember correctly, when I found the not-a-worgen whatever the hell she is? She was emoting sitting on someone. In the bank of Dwarven District. And while I don't think it was meant to be sexual, the person it was being done to was responding with innuendo a plenty.
Not really creepy, but definitely facepalmy. I probably wouldn't have even noticed her otherwise.
Oh, no, the not-a-worgen doesn't creep me out so much as make me want to giggle. You're not the only one who got the mental image of a fat, bossy house cat.
Usually, breaking one's back requires you to be in a cast from your chest down, if I'm recalling my grandfather's injury correctly. Having injuries in World of Warcraft is such an open-ended failure waiting to happen. We've got magic, people. Unless your old war wound happened on the field out of range of battle clerics or out in the wilderness, there's usually going to be someone within throwing distance with swirly glowing hands who's going to be able to put you right as rain

Like most things we discuss here, I think the walking wounded can be done right, and would add a lot to RP if anyone would bother. I can't recall if he's still out there, but I think in Stonard there was an orc NPC that had been so badly injured my murlocs that when you meet him, he's laying on the inn floor being fed through a tube. I remembered it because it was my first taste of "holy crap, WoW has some really, REALLY dark moments that aren't just there to showcase the main characters". Kil'karil is another example.
I'd personally rather see characters react to their wounds and trauma realistically if they're severe. The more minor stuff that happens right in front of several qualified healers, though, I see your point about.
Even with the scarred ones, the argument is more of... "Do you know how incapable of any flexibility you'd be with -that- many scars in -that- area!?"
I actually kind of want to work on this with my shaman. He has a bad habit of sticking his hands into campfires to "fix" fuel placement, and as such (because fire and magic are the two things that halt troll regeneration) has lots of little burns on his hands and arms from when he looses his concentration and keeps his hand in too long or touches something the wrong way.
I'd like to acknowledge that these burns would affect the flexibility of his hands, but I'm not sure how to apply the "show don't tell" policy.

By the way? I rarely, if ever, call the Celestial Steed anything other than a "spony."

The licking wasn't hot at all.

It was the broken back that made me go 'bwuh?'

And yeah, "Gammei" creeps me out a bit. So does "Ceteil," to tell the truth.
