Title : blah

cumulative post:

changeling
some of the lower level forms like wolf and
tiger got some mild increases enough im sure
to warrant at least a few posts about changer
bsness

knights/amazon/swashbuckler
its really more of a guts change, but it affects
these classes, guts has a base subtraction cost
from sps so if guts activates and absorbs a portion
of an attack there is a 1-2 sp cost
ps ridden/rider npcs for knights have a reduced
ability to use their skills, if they have skills


juggernaught
there is cumulative and ongoing tinkering nd honestly
i dont remember it all, though I think as of today
its settled in at a loss of 1-2 pts of wc and a
loss of about 20 defense points per upgrade, this
is actually an increase form where I ended yesterday
when it was a loss of about 40.

angel
A base wc increase and a slightly more impressive
effect of might

sylph
chain lightning now basically gets shrugged off a mob
if its high enough to blick you, also is you use the
bounce effect of lightning in weather you have to be
in the weather as well

unicorn
life is more efficient

troll
im rolling over in my grave here but I increased troll
weaponry a significant factor

werewolves
well your boring, but youre also bs as all hell

paladin
fervor lasts longer, a very mild increase in its stat boosting power

hydra
i think I posted this awhile back but ill add it since its all
part of the tinering, their frenzy was increased

samurai
same with hydra, they got a slightly better return from crit

thugs/worms/trolls/zombies
this is an intim change and most directly affects thse classes,
the reduction of intim when wounded has been lightened up so
youre not as totally screwed just partially screwed
yeah thats actually two troll increases for those of you keeping
score at home, no one is more surprised than me
heh has anyone actually played a zombie lately? I bet they are quite
nasty...

mummy
rot is sassier, oh so sassier

enchanter
the basic calculation of weaponry efficiency has been reduced about
10%

barbarian
you guys lost one of those random meaningless shadow bonuses, while
i am sure there will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth, its not
all that impressive of a loss, nothing a one level better skinned
weapon
wont compensate for...

gremlins
you guys are continually getting screwed, it all started back when I
was
a child and I wanted a puppy, and I couldnt get one because, well its
a long story, but gremlins will pay for it for ever and ever, their
chances
of ever being increased lie somewhere east of the cardinals winning the
superbowl which wont happen either as long as im alive

wisps
yeah there has been that long bandied about change to the way rip
works with NPCS despite an initial overwhelming positive outpouring
of support, now a few people are starting to rethink the loss of
area rip, so this change is still on hold, however, and im sure lowbie
wisps will love this more, haze is better, this has essentiall no
effect
on wisps > 19, its a lowbie thing
