Toxicology
==============================
- Epteth and epseth are no longer considered generic venoms.
* This means they can no longer be applied to weapons and such, without special exception.
* [note] Removed to free up more design space. Compensation to affected classes will happen but I want to feel it out for a bit before full commitment.
Indorani / Oneiromancer
==============================
- Deform / Disjunct now caps out at 12 constitution sapped and no longer doubles after 6 afflictions.
- If Deform / Disjunct saps their constitution, it will also give the withering affliction.
* [note] Less effective overall likely, but new tools added below.
- Removed Skill: Sandman / Poppy.
* [note] Removed for now as likely going to drop the sleep route.
- Sun / Sphere now can give migraine instead of hypersomnia.
* [note] Same reasoning as above. Dropping the sleep route for now.
- Twofold / Tandem now works alongside any flung card / unfurled shape, but it still restricts your second skill to the specified types.
- Wheel / Cardinal now absorbs all three afflictions that it chooses.
- If the opponent already has the afflictions that Wheel / Cardinal relapses, for each affliction it will cripple a random limb.
* [note] This will synergise with Devil / Faerie and help push a Vivisect / Vanquish route.
- Wheel / Cardinal now always reveal what afflictions it absorbs from the target.
Penned by my hand on Quensday, the 5th of Haernos, in the year 8 AC.
