Update #7

Gameplay Changes

  • Added new condition "Dazed". While dazed, characters need double action points to use skills.

  • Daily recruits in Tavern won't have multiple instances of the same class.

  • Level 2 missions will not appear before day 3.

  • Special events that won't appear before a particular level will appear one level later on easy difficulty. That will make sure you don't run into anything too difficult early on. Normal difficulty is not affected.

  • Skill mouseovers now state precisely why they are currently unavailable. When hints are switched on, then they give a more verbose explanation on why a skill is currently disabled.

  • Increased font size on help bubbles.

  • Introduced lightning and magic resistance. 20 resistance reduces corresponding damage by 20%. Lightning resistance works against lightning damage, magic resistance works against magic damage (e.g. damage you take from hexes or spells).

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed "For Great Justice!" which did not give any additional adrenaline.

Balance Changes

  • Ninja kamas do 15% penetration (down from 20%).

  • Final Thrust does +100 damage (up from 75).

  • Goblin Warrior block chance reduced to 15% (down from 20%).

  • Elven Assassin's lead and off-hand attacks get a small buff. Dual attacks are slightly nerfed.

  • Lowered cost of some of the Warrior's equipment.

  • Ninja parry/evasion chances increased (15/15, up from 5/10).

  • Level boundaries for level 2 increased to 600 (up from 400). This means you will stay in the early game for a bit longer and difficulty will not ramp up too early.

  • Special events featuring huge monsters on level 2 and below will have one less sidekick.

  • Golem's "Scrunch" skill pushed to level 3 (from level 2). Increased damage to 17 (up from 15).
