Maybe you can explain it to the rest of us. Dancers should be able to enhance their own minds. Musicians should be able to enhance their own focus and willpower. Image Designers should be able to migrate their own stats. Actually, scratch that last—everyone should be able to migrate their own stats, Image Designs should simply do it faster than the default system.
I agree wholeheartedly. Don't change an already working system. Just modify it.
Right now, to do a full revamp of your stats, it takes approximately 1 week of REAL time. So keep that how it is, and then allow IDs to enhance this action down to 10 minutes. Still makes IDs valuable, but also still gives people the ability to do it themselves in case they can't find an ID. And on that same note, allow IDers to use the ability on themselves.

Wait a sec, so docs can buff themselves, but IDs can't migrate their own stats? Huh? I get entertainer buffs not working on oneself, but this doesn't seem right.please explain how exactly you 'get' this............ it is senseless and unfair
Excuse me, what i meant to say was: I understand an entertainer not being able to buff oneself, but an Image Designer not being able to migrate their own stats is ridiculous.
I know what you meant to say....... I am asking you how is that you 'understand' when none of us musicians understand?

Musicians cannot listen to themself or direct their performance towards themself. This is true in real life as well IRL youd have to have a Tape or CD.
Not that I'm disagreeing with your post but as I musician in RL I can pretty much assure you that when I play guitar or sing I'm quite capable of hearing myself and it's a great way to relax a relieve tension. When I listen to my recordings I'm usually just analyzing my performance andsometimes end up more stressed than when I started hehe 
Seriously, musicians should be able to buff themselveseven if the skill is reserved for masters. I think this should hold true for IDs as well.
I totally agree with you both

Unuca Cose - Eye color registers as a body change (5 min timer)instead ofa cosmetic change. Intended or bug?
- Numbers are still missing from the sliders (we used to have them)
- Hair color bug still evident - change hair color but only the customer can see it, next time you try to ID them the old color is selected in the hair color palette instead of the new color.
I just wanted to comment on one change that I saw here...
You said that Image Designers cannot migrate their OWN stats. I thought about why you would do this. And I'm assuming it is to thwart people from getting Novice Image Designer just so they can migrate their own stats, and then dropping it.
So can you do this instead... can you change it so that a MASTER Image Designer can migrate her own stats? Or even move the Migrate Stat skill up into the tree a ways.
The thought of being a Master Image Designer and then having to seek out yet ANOTHER Image Designer to get some Image Design work done on you seems a bit ridiculous. Do you see my point here?
It'd be like saying a Weaponsmith can't fire her own guns. (heee)
Well, unless the Weaponsmith in question is certified with the weapon in question, she can't fire it without penalty.

Oh, I forgot to add, it is a bit silly.
