fixedPossessed fix. This applies to anyone with the trait or mutation. Before you just got the big Strength bonus, but I'm afraid I have now fixed the downside bit... Each turn in combat, there is a 1% chance of a possessed character attacking whoever he pleases...
addedDid you get a new follower but have no space in your team? You now have one spare slot - the follower will go there. He is in no way part of your band at this point. If you gain another new follower, the guy waiting in the slot will be replaced. If space becomes available, the waiting character will then join. You can use the existing Send to the flames option to free up a spot.
fixedFix to drop Heavy Armour when you specialise to a class that can't use it. (Assassin)
addedReduced XP gain penalties some more - hopefully level 7 or so should feel like much less of a wall than before. Before the XP penalty was based on your team strength vs the enemy team strength, meaning if you had a very powerful band, it was hard to get more XP. Now the XP penalty is based on the encounter danger level. A level 12 character is still going to learn nothing from a caravan combat, but will get no penalty at all from a dungeon boss, say. ** I think, if you are still disapointed with the amount of experience you are receiving, it probably due to the size of your warband. Experience is shared amongst all those that may receive it... I've added some new tips about this (main screen)
addedYou can now see your current Glory level on the Champion's inventory screen, near level and XP.
fixedFixed the special character that can repeatedly attack for zero AP. (oops)
