Our penultimate batch of Classlead changes from our April 2015 season is now live! We've got one final small batch to come, but this batch contains the bulk of the large changes (especially to the Monk class). Without further ado, I give you:
Apostasy
--------
* SYPHON now produces a less informative third person message when it cures an affliction.
* FURY will now only convey the balance bonus in the room it was enacted in.
Armoursmithing
--------------
* FIELDPLATE has been re-added to the skill, providing a cheaper alternative to fullplate.
Devotion
--------
* HEALING (rite) now produces a less informative third person message when it cures an affliction.
Harmonics
---------
* CONTROL will now allow dismissing of harmonics by name and number.
* HALLELUJAH now produces a less informative third person message when it cures an affliction.
Kaido
-----
* NUMB can no longer be used with prone.
* CHOKE will be more informative to the monk if the target is holding their breath.
* TRANCE no longer prevents modifications to the monk's ENEMY lists.
Occultism
---------
* ENLIGHTEN will now correctly prevent WHISPERINGMADNESS from being cured.
Reclamation
-----------
* REVIVE has been added to the skill.
Spirituality
------------
* CARE now produces a less informative third person message when it cures an affliction.
Subterfuge
----------
* PINSHOT now prevents elevation changes alongside regular movement.
Tarot
-----
* CHARGE and SUPERCHARGE have been removed. Tarot cards are now automatically charged when flung.
* FLING balance now scales based on skill level in Tarot.
* FLING will automatically attempt to OUTDECK a card if there is not one in the caster's inventory.
Tekura
------
* Tekura accuracy has been adjusted across the board.
* Stances have been reworked, each providing a standardised level of limb damage while providing a variety of new benefits.
* Stances can be switched without balance cost following the completion of a Tekura attack or COMBO.
* The resource drains related to the various blocks have been adjusted.
* PALMSTRIKE has been reworked.
* BLADEHAND has been reworked.
* JAB has been reworked.
* AXE has been reworked.
* ROUNDHOUSE no longer paralyses the opponent, but gains a shield smashing component.
* BACKBREAKER damage has been reworked, providing a more even damage output against varying levels of armoured opponents.
* WHIRLWIND will no longer strip deafness.
* BODYBLOCK now offers damage resistance against denizens alongside its existing effects.
Telepathy
---------
* The resource drains related to Telepathy abilities have been adjusted.
* LOCK break chances have been adjusted.
* THROW will now cause damage to IMPALE'd targets.
* SCYTHE has been reworked.
* LOCK will now only be interrupted on larger equilibrium usage, rather than any.
Vision
------
* COMPOUNDS has been added to the skill.
Misc.
-----
* Food is no longer consumed in the arena.
