Introducing: Less Ambient Sorcerer Animates. Tonight I made a small quality of life update to Animate Dead (730). Sorcerers will see this new option available tell animate to act [silent/lazy/calm/normal] which can result in no ambient messaging, 80% less ambients, 50% less ambients, or normal rate of ambient. This won’t remove all messaging, especially messaging related to combat behaviors (such as prepping spells/abilities), but should provide a considerable reduction of noise.
