Bing!

Due to the discovery and subsequent fixing of a bug, you may find that pursuing has now become a little easier.

The effect should not be extreme, but may well be enough to be noticeable.

As I'm sure many of you are aware, some melee types (e.g. polearm, axe, misc, and flail) have been in a bad spot for a long time. This is, at least in part, due to the lack of decently-damaging, heavier weapon choices in these weapon classes.

I have therefore selected a very limited number of weapons in these melee classes and updated them.

Please note that this is a stop-gap measure intended to help some neglected melee classes until combat changes further down the line are ready :)

Another magical experiment by the Bes Pelargic wizards has gone wrong. Your intrepid reporter isolated the head researcher responsible for the accident for an exclusive interview.

Q: Did this experiment -

After getting a few separate people to repeat the calculation that I made myself to make sure I wasn't crazy(ier), I have reduced the weight of lightable torches slightly.

They were rather too heavy for what they were, so this should be more convenient for those of you who want to carry them for whatever nefarious purpose.

The Wizard spell Heezlewurst's Elemental Buffer has been changed so that it absorbs a greater amount of lightning damage.

The description of the colours that appear around the player after casting has also been tweaked, and it now gives duration feedback via the "shields" command.
