Just so long as there's not a list of stupidly expensive items needed to get anywhere with this thing as long as my arm, I'd probably be spending alot of time with this.

The only problems I can see this bringing are all new reasons for people to completely monopolize powerful mobs/NMs.
Surely a monster with the strength of a Behemoth or Dragon would prove unstoppable by anything other than a similar monster? Is this going to be fairly balanced or need only the elite apply?

I'd wager unique NMs such as Dragons and Behemoths wouldn't work directly, but you'd still be able to use their strength in a rabbit for example. This would need careful thought and proper application to remain fair and balanced.
Such powerful monsters could have limits imposed on them perhaps that wouldn't normally apply to lesser monsters.

"But what can you do with those soul plates that can't be forged into soul reflectors? Some monsters (such as beastmen) have such strong wills that it is impossible to coerce them into fighting for you. However, that doesn't mean you can't take advantage of their skills and teach those techniques to more impressionable monsters. Try trading one of these unforgeable plates and a reflector to a Pit attendant. If certain conditions are met, the attendant will take the skills from that plate and add them to the monster on your reflector! Imagine the sort of havoc a forest hare with deadly dark knight abilities could wield upon its enemies!"
I would imagine something like Jormungand would be one such monster with too strong a will of it's own. Also, I think I've found the answer to my balance concern. The webpage says nothing about monsters taking on the physical stats of HNMs and such like, merely their abilities. I would imagine that a forest hare with a breath attack taken from Jormungand for example, would still only hit for something like double figure damage, depending of course on the opponent's monster's stats as well as the attacking hare's stats.

That's a lot of **** ups by S-E there. I'm starting to think they just did any random **** with the previous update and threw it out there untested.
Good thing there's someone I know and trust with my details, or I could have been trapped down there in the Empyreal Paradox for weeks ;_;
