Subject subclass-related changes
Hi all, First of all, a bunch of subclass-related changes: 1) Subclasses now gain bonus skills at higher ascension levels. 2) Divine Channel charges 2x faster with prayer spell. 3) Demolitionists gain ignite and create bomb 30 levels earlier. e.g. a Thief demolitionist will gain these at level 30. Secondly, a bunch of more-or-less subclass related changes: 4) Unjam can be used untrained. Now well, but doable. 5) Flanking bonus applies to single-target spells if target cannot see caster. 6) Aura of menace now is 2x as effective when attacher is affected by fear. Also makes it easier to land fear effects (fear/intimidation). 7) Mana shield max absorption rate is (20 + spell_level/3)%. Will absorb less if character is low on mana (compared to hp) - experimental, may change. Thirdly, added advanced skill bonuses for parry, berserk, extend spell, chain spell, ignite and elemental blade. Lastly, added/removed/tweaked class skills: * Templars & Rangers lost guard, monks lost frenzy. * Rangers, Monks and thiefs had anatomy boosted to 50%. * Templars gained prayer. * Tweaked level/max of healing spells. Templars are consistently better than monks, and paladins/bards gain healing spells earlier. Cheers, Bobble
