First big balance update NOW LIVE!

The demo and playtest builds have been updated!

The playtest has been live almost a full week and I'm overwhelmed (in both a good and bad way) by the amount and quality of feedback I'm receiving. A game like Slumber Realm lives or dies based on the efforts of playtesters. THANK YOU ALL!
