Beta Test Reworks and Balancing - v1.2.872

I know that again there is a lot of things buffed and could seem too much, but we only buffed dice and blessings that were not being picked (mostly :austra:).

Hope you all have fun testing out the reworks/interactions.

We will make a small beta period to test out those changes and our community feedback will be very much appreciated. Therefore this patch has been uploaded to our beta branch.

You can share your feedback here on steam or on Astrea Discord where is usually a easier place to discuss about the changes.

Important Note: All new text are currently only available in English. All of the changes in the beta version are subject to change.
