Two things:
1. The "Mana Tanks" Essence Perk does not increase your maximum ζP Energy even though it does so for every other race, is this intentional?
2. I experienced the same thing about temporary stat loses with the Wolfgirl, only this time I gained a bunch of temporary buffs into my Stats as permanent Stats, now I'm a level 13 Wolfgirl with these stats:
STR: 58 INT: 58
CON: 64 DEX: 64
I don't mind but that will seriously destroy the progression for the rest of the game.
