New (to p99) necro questions

[goshozal]

Hi all,

First let me say how happy I am to find this emulator! I played EQ for years from vanilla to PoP and miss it terribly, especially the "old world."

I played a necro before, so naturally that was the class I have rolled. I was curious about 2 things:

Do Iksar suffer from the XP penalty on p99?

and

Do necro pets adopt the speed of weapons you give them, like they used to in vanilla EQ? I remember pets with fine steel daggers were real beasts.

Thanks!
