NUMEROLOGY
------------------------------------
- Tweak has been significantly changed. Please read the AB file.
- You can now target yourself with fix.
- Infirmity will now hit the target with clumsiness, even if the aeon
affliction is stopped with the speed defense.
- Abosrb will strip speed first of Aeon is absorbed.
- Absorb will now properly transfer Lovers, Hatred, and Voyria
afflictions.
- Levelling will transfer Voyria now.
- Return is now blocked by being prone, paralysis, and any type of
writhe affliction.
- Players will now get a message when they can contemplate again.
- Reduced willpower drain from spheres by 30%.
- Deflection will now attack banishment and healing rites.
- Affliction can now be used on a target in the same room, as well as
line of sight.
- I did not put in report 491, the attacker would rarely, if ever get
past baldness, and if they did, the target is going to be dead if
they have asthma or not.
- In report 536 (leveling) we have already made Anorexia and
Belonephobia work as stated. We cannot do the same for limp veins and
asthma as it is a bit more complicated, and for now we will leave it
as it is. The problem mainly stems around the fact that undead
hematurgists are affected by both asthma and limp veins.
- If spheres is running when you logout, you will not lose 50% health
and mana next time you login again.
TATTOOS
------------------------------------
- Moon, moss, boar, mountain, and owl tattoos will now reactivate a
minimum 10 times before having a chance to fade.
- Mindseye will now allow players to hear shouting and yelling while
deaf.
- Decreased balance time of crystal tattoo to 1 second.
- Phased players can only prism to other phased people.
- Shield tattoos will inform the room when it drops.
TEKURA
------------------------------------
- New Skill: THROATSTRIKE
- Axekick now truly has 3% chance of instantly killing an opponent.
- Axekick damage is slightly increased on a prone target.
- RELAX STANCE can be used to more out of your stance.
- Smackdown will now trigger on tekura blocks.
- Frenzy will now trigger on tekura blocks.
- Both Shinobu(Sentaari) and Draryn(Daru) are now able to grade aspiring
students to the rank of Orange Belt. Use the command ASK <mob> GRADE
- Tutors will inform the guild over GT when a student passes a grading.
- GRADERS will show all players in realm who are able to grade and which
belt they hold.
- UNBLOCK <block> will effectively drop the given block. The AB files
will give the command.
- Block messages will accurately reflect that you are taking part of the
attacks damage.
- Players can only take three BBTs before they will suffer death, no
matter how must health they have. This 'BBT counter' decreases every
15 seconds. For example, player A takes 2 BBT's 15 seconds later, his
back will partially repair, and then 15 more seconds later, it will be
fully healed. The 15 second counter is reset after every BBT. So if
you are hit with a BBT and then 14 seconds later you are hit with
another BBT you will not heal from any of the back damage for another
15 seconds.
- Stance accuracy is now taken into effect in all Tekura attacks.
- Breaking attacks should now properly portray the attack/connect/break
msgs.
- Tekura belts now to act as weaponbelts.
- Wrench will now state which limb was broken.
- Thrustkick will stand a kneeling player.
