TAEKATE
- We fixed a major bug dealing with Taekate accuracy. In short, your
stance was doing absolutely nothing for your accuracy. Some attacks
are going to have significant increases to accuracy in some stances,
especially SWK, which was a major complaint. As a result, we have
slightly reduced overall Taekate damage, however the difference in
accuracy more then compensates the damage decrease.
- Attempted movement will not make you drop stances anymore. You
actually have to move in order for stances to drop.
- Evasion no longer decreases backbreaker damage. This is a
significant change in damage.
- Pugilists will now lose the 'b' in their prompt after throwing 4
punches.
- The second kick for kickboxers will now do less damage then the
first.
- Axekick damage has been reduced, however it will now deal a random,
masked mental affliction.
- Wrench is now targeted at specific limbs and does considerable limb
damage.


TELEPATHY
- Getting a mind lock is no longer based off current mana, it is now
based on max mana.
- Decreased mind lock time a bit more for those with a mind print.
- Holding a mind lock will be much easier if you have a mindprint, as
the hold will be based off your max mana, rather then current mana.
- Keep in mind that telepathy skill level and philosophy skill level
for both the attacker and the defender are taken into account when
getting or maintaining a mindlock. Mana levels are a significant part
of the equation however, and the change from current mana to max mana
will make a significant difference.
- There was a desire to modify some of the skills in Telepathy. I have
decided not to do them at this time. I would like to see how the
Taekate accuracy and mindlock changes affect combat to begin with.


KAIDO
- Dodging will now dodge longshots, meteor arrows, and star tarots.
- Projectiles will work with flintlocks and blundebusses as well.
- Kai Heal now takes 40% kai.
