Anyone know that if all players are converted to male Norn, or is there a female version as well for female characters using it?

EDIT: Sounds like the answer is NO and that you are still close to normal size when you use it.

My favorite is still the Phantasmal.

Yeah...if it converted you based on your character's sex I think it would be a pretty decent one. Oh well...

No chance to write in something like /iddqd and you morph into a bear?

I prefer the Phantasmal as favorite, Automatic second and the Boreal tonic last. The reason for that, is that the only thing separating the Boreal tonic from a max height male warrior, is that he has a different face and armor. Its not even one of the cooler Norn where its just their shoulder piece and pants so you can see how buff they are. It also could have been a Norn in bear form. Anet could have made this tonic way better.

I'd actually like to see a Chuck Norris tonic. Wat norn could take on Chuck Norris? Or even a mudkip tonic would work...

Agreed, worst tonic ever. They could have at least given it a female version.

This new tonic just plainly sucks. Phantasmal is probably 100x better than this one.

Was there a female Phantasm or a female Automatonic? I rest my case.

I motion this Tonic of the Month thread to close, because the question has been answered, and the tonic really makes no difference in anyone's gameplay. The whole tonic idea is stupid and I really haven't ever heard a good reason to care about it.

Why are you people complaining over no female version? Is there a male transmogrifier tonic? No. Is there a female yuletide tonic? No. Is there a more feminine looking automatic tonic? No. ANet have been working on bigger things, a tonic they offer each month isn't on the top of their list. Stop complaining, at least there is a tonic.

I'm just waiting for someone to complain that humanoid tonics turn your skin color light.

Well... they have the demale Norn model ready (yuletide), norn are humanoid, living(transmogripher), intelligent/reasonable(golem, not sure if Norn are really reasonable) and a (in the future) playable tyrian race(yuletide).
When one hear it turn you into a norn, one would expect that both the gender is taken into consideration.

I also think it is unfair that the character is white. Why don't we have an "African-American" version and a "Latin-American" version. I SERIOUSLY can not believe those racist pricks working for A-Net this is just disgusting.

Let the protesting commence!!!!

How could you leave out all the Asians?!?! Now who looks racist?!?!

But seriously guys, ANet doesn't have to offer these things to us and yet they do. They are just something fun they put into the game. Lets not look so deep into it. It's really not that huge of a deal that there isn't a female version of it.

I used a Boreal Tonic yesterday and Magni is just freakin' big... But I suppose he can't compete with 8'+ messed-up gundams or floating ghosts ._.

As for the male/female discussion, I'm pretty sure the previous tonics; Automatonic, Beetlejuice, Phantasmal, Yuletide & Transmogrifier are it's, neither he's nor she's. Boreal is the first tonic that actually has a gender...
