{x
New Abilities command, type it and you can see what abilities you either have or{x
have on you. More will be added to this as I code them.{x
{x
Sunder: Moved to the Abilities listing, also is toggleable. When you want to use it it costs{x
now 1/4 of your current mana, and you must have at least 50 mana to use it.{x
{x
Nightstalker: Ability for Shades/Lichs/Fades/Banshees. Its basically the old thing of{x
a bonus a night, disadvantage during the day, except now its more noticeable. And its{x
toggleable. However theres a catch. You can only enter into the Nightstalker, during 4-6 am{x
the start of a new day, so you have to go through a whole day of a disadvantage before you{x
can reap the benefits of Night. To relinquish the Nightstalker in you, you can only do that{x
During 16-1800, or basically right before the Night, So you won't be able to reap the{x
benefits of the Nightstalker before daylight. Also, this is very taxing on the body and{x
should be something you really want to do, cause it costs half your mana, and you go into{x
a trance, so I wouldn't recommand doing this while your pking.{x

Reworked this alot, to make it useful, but also balanced.{x
{x
Has 3 states, arm, head, leg.{x
{x
Head, makes you blind, you can't rub it, only lasts a tick or so.{x
It checks vs your str, and con, to a random number and assassin dex to hit the head.{x
{x
Arm, gives chance to disarm your wpn. It use to drop it to the ground except{x
for having a nodrop, inventory item. But since we have no looting here, any wpn{x
will go to the inventory, unless your wearing a noremove wpn. So thats one defence{x
other is having good str and con, this one also checks vs the assassin str.{x
{x
Leg, makes fleeing harder, really this time. When you type flee it does a check vs{x
victims dex and con, to the assassins str, if you pass you can flee, if not you won't flee.{x
{x
So for the most part, the assassin needs good str, to break bones, and dex to hit the{x
smaller target of the head. The victim needs good dex to dodge that hit to head, and{x
con to help withstand it. For the arm/leg its mostly con to see if you can overcome{x
the pain of the fracture to still wield your wpn, or flee.{x
{x
Leg will also reduce victims moves. Can only apply one cripple at a time, and to cripple{x
will cost the assassin moves to use, by moving into the posistion and focusing more power{x
into the hit to break bones. {x
{x
So should be useable, worthwhile, but at the same time, balanced.{x

Crusader:
Your enhanced should vary with your align. Keep it at 1000 and you'll see a good boost. Let your align dip and so will your damage.
Swashbuckler:
Your enhanced damage will vary with your hitroll. No matter what your
hitroll is it will be decent, but higher hr = slightly more damage.
Highlander:
Your enhanced will increase with your power level once you pass plevel 3.
Paladin:
Your enhanced cares about your white magic and align. Stay good and get your white as high as possible to optimize damage.
Darkpaladin:
Yours is like Paladin, only black magic is what matters. Stay evil and have high black magic.
Hunter:
If you are in an outdoor room (not a city, not inside) then you will get a slight bonus.
If that room is a forest, you will get a much larger bonus.

There have been minor tweaks to fight code, you will see
hitroll/blindness acting differently as far as how many hits you land/get
blocked/miss. This is still a work in progress and I will continue to tweak
it over the next couple days.

Subject Combat tweaks, quest sell bug, assassin enhanced{x~
Text
A new set of small combat tweaks are in now. Please let me know if
anything is acting strangely. The goal is to make hitroll matter a little
more (and work with a lower amount) and make blind matter a little less.
You may see attacks being parried/blocked/etc more through blind now. This
is normal.
The aforementioned bug with quest sell has been fixed. There should be no problems,
but one that might arise is if you have aesir/vinir of the same type and try
to sell one and it thinks its the other. I have tested this and it doesn't seem to
do this, but it is a possibility as I didn't test it for every piece.
Assassin enhanced damage now cares about sneak. You must be sneaking
to recieve your optimal damage boost, and a higher % in sneak will see
a higher boost in damage.
That is all for now. Please note immortal with any bugs you find.
If you're not sure if it's a bug, note it anyway. If we catch you abusing bugs
there will be dire consequences.

Monk martial arts modifications have been completed. You will find that

arts mode. You will only gain access to your skills like throw, roundhouse,
vital hit, etc. When in martial arts mode. Your enhanced damage is now
based off of whether or not you are in martial arts mode as well.
Race stat caps have been reworked. Rather than the old "quick and dirty"
fix that was put on humans, I have made racial stat caps even at +4 across the board.
Your stats will change no matter who you are. Deal with it whether it's for the better or worse.
If you are unevolved and would like to evolve as a result of the changes, let me know.
You can now dump all your trains into hp/mana/move by typing 'train <hp/mana/move> all'
