Hey! Glad you liked the Thunder God Trait. I plan to have a whole evolution path for that, where you can slowly gain thunder related powers from it. Lvl 1 is as high as it gets at the moment so no need to get struck again (for now).
ALL NPCs have a chance to drop a special equip-able item, the chance is pretty small though! Werewolves and Werebats also have accessories they can drop and the Terror Bird Boss has a pretty decent weapon drop too!
Yes, the +1 Character Creation point is indeed a Memory Point, I listed it like that so it would be easier to understand for someone who hasn't tried the game yet and doesn't know what a Memory Point is.
