Release Notes Jan 12, 2008

- TRANSFORM COMPLETION and SCORE: Order of stats has been modified to match
some internal numbering.
- TRANSFORM COMPLETION: changed color on maxed stats to green and reformat
spacing so "maxed" and "not maxed" line up nicely.
- SCORE: added age to the listing; Wimpy setting was moved down to the
Defensive ability block.
- DUAL Wield Change: Removed ability for ANY race to dual wield a two-handed
weapon.
Medium Races with Str >= 40 AND Athachs can dual wield a one-handed weapon
even if their main weapon is two-handed.
All others can dual-wield only if both main and second weapon is one-handed.
Athachs still have the advange of being able to wield two weapons and a
shield, while others are limited to either a weapon and shield or two weapons.
- Race changes
+ Humans
* Added option to allow Humans to choose 1 or 2 stats to improve by up
to 20 points. Points are earned 1 every 125 hours so you reach max
points at 2500 hours. When you assign a point, it increases the max
for both the perm and the modified stat.
For example, if you are a fighter and put all 20 points into
Strength, then your max perm stat is 28 + 20 = 48 and max modified
stat is 50 + 20 = 70. Command is ASSIGN.
IC reasoning: Legendary humans of old tended to be known for one or
two super-human characteristics, for example, Hercules was known
for superhuman strength, while Merlin was known for superhuman wisdom
and intelligence.
* Added an across the board resist bonus for humans. Max bonus is -25,
earned -1 every 100 hours up to 2500 hours. Resist bonus is
automatically included in combat and all other commands I could find.
+ Athach
* SUCKERPUNCH : (1) increment damage based on age, (2) dam type
switches over time from Bash to Harm
* DUAL: can no longer dual wield a two-handed weapon, but CAN dual
wield a one-handed weapon if main weapon is two handed.
* TOSS (1) increment damage based on age; (2) dam type switches over
time from Bash to Harm; (3) Re-worked logic to be partially based
on Athach's carrying capacity; Other factors continue to include
Athach's strength, victims dex & weight, plus the size, speed and
level of both parties.

- Unicorn now has 3 variations based on Order at the time of Transforming
+ If the Kirin's Order is Lawful, he/she will transform into a Unicorn
with skills: touchhorn, gore, hoofkick, trample, disarm
with wear locations that include horn
+ If the Kirin's Order is Neutral, he/she will transform into a Pegasus
With skills: healingtouch, hoofkick, trample, fly/land
With wear locations that include wings (but not horn)
+ If the Kirin's Order is Chaotic, he/she will transform into a Thestryl
with skills: hoofkick, trample, fly/land, vanish (but only invisibility, not gating)
With wear locations that include wings (but not horn)
A Thestryl's skin & hair color must be a variation of black (& will be
switched when you tier if it's something different)
Note: Thestryl's are intended to be similar to the Thestrals in the
"Harry Potter" books but they are not skeletal by default. If you want
to be a skeletal Thestryl... you can become a skeleton.
If you are currently a unicorn and would like to be switched to a Pegasus or
Thestryl, contact me for assistance.
If you are a Kirin or Equus and need help getting your Order to a more
appropriate value for your future desired transformation, also contact me.
