Ok, feel free to correct my perception on this.. but isn't necromancy pretty dang weak? Of the 20 spells presented, 10 9 of them do not effect monsters, and 10 do not effect undead.. that is half of all available spells. Corrosive darkness is the only offensive spell that does effect monsters and undead.. but it's damage output is pitiful due to it's lack of scaling. Injure will effect monsters but not undead.. though is a fairly solid spell. None of it's debuffing effects monsters and undead and it can't even create an undead minion to do damage until you get to rank 2 spells. Once you DO get to higher rank spells the undead you can create are pretty strong... but the bodies are ingredients and not focuses.. so they are consumed when you cast meaning you don't get them back when the spell ends. The requirement of it needing to be a ruler or mighty warrior means you'll need to somehow divide downtime between hunting down bodies to be able to later animate.. or learning new spells since Necromancers need to spend their downtime in service for lunar cycles.

This feels really bad.

Edit: Thank you to u/cairnwill for pointing out Rank 2 Injure will effect monsters. That is a silver lining at least.

After the most recent updates these are the sprint/trot speeds of 3 slot carnivores

Pycnonemosaurus - 1075 / 670
Metriacanthosaurus - 1050 / 500
Allosaurus - 1040 / 550
Daspletosaurus - 1025 / 500

Now here is the speed for the cerato

Ceratosaurus - 1050 / 480

Half of the 3 slot carnivores are same speed or faster than cerato and with allo only being 10 slower they can keep up well enough to tail ride one to death. All of the 3 slot carnivores have a faster trot speed which means if you don't escape in a single stam bar you are just straight up dead.

Now, to be fair, lets compare it to other 2 slot terrestrials.

Alioramus - 1150 / 520
Concavenator - 1100 / 490
Achillobator - 1050 / 600
Megalania - 1075 / 330

Among the other two slots it is tied for slowest sprint speed and it's trot speed is only slower than megalania. Meanwhile, conc and meg can both retreat to water.. and do so sprinting substantially faster than cera. Achillobator has a decently high jumping height so it can get up ontop of rocks/cliffs. And Alio has so much stamina its trot speed is nearly irrelevant.

The recent allo speed increase has put a spotlight on how slow cera is.

Edit: Corrected Allo sprint speed from 1045 to 1040 as pointed out by comments.
