More classleads cometh!
Domination
----------
* New ability: FEED.
Formulation
-----------
* CONCUSSIVE now derives several benefits depending on how you've altered it using the ALTERATION ability. High POTENCY will cause the alchemist who threw it to have their mass always ignored when determining whether they should be thrown or not, but the other benefits are left as an exercise for the scientists among you to discover.
Memorium
--------
* SCALES removed from NEST transitions.
* SKEIN added to NEST transitions.
* SKEIN removed from SCALES transitions.
* BEAR added to SCALES transitions.
* SCALES removed from SCARAB transitions.
* Some explanation for the above: this is to give pariah better access to both of the core hinders (clumsy/weary) early in the fight progression. I don't envision any more need for transition removals now, so this is almost certainly the final version now sans logograph additions down the line. So to Pariahs, its a buff, but probably annoying in the immediate to update. As with all things of the sands, power comes at a price...
Skirmishing
-----------
* TRIP now determines limb damage based on weapon damage.
Sublimation
-----------
* NOCTURNE now becomes unhinderable after the second message. Stop it early or its happening.
* Small change on the second NOCTURNE 3p message.
Misc
----
* FROZEN now longer extends the balance cost of tumble-style abilities. We can extend this to other things now if needed.
* Removing a SHACKLE ARTEFACT under aggression cooldown will now set your density defence to expire in three seconds (we might tune this value a little more seeing how this pans out, but three is a good place to start is my feeling). Removing while not under aggression strips density immediately as previously.
Enjoy!
