Random things
-------------
- Attributes can only have a maximum of 21 now.
- Limb breaks shouldn't be lasting through death anymore. Spleenrip,
groinrip and neckrip should.
Howling
-------
- Piercing howl should work now.
- Packhowl balance lowered by 1/2.
- Howls will stop if you fall unconscious or asleep.
Lycanthropy
-----------
- New skills: PAWGUARD and THICKHIDE
- Howl frequency was sped up a tad
- Berserk changed. It never increased your speed (by accident), but
there was no reason to make the class any faster. At the cost of not
being able to see your health or mana, you will be more resistant to
becoming unconscious or stunned.
- The weirdness with understanding each other should be greatly
alleviated.
- Return cannot bring you to places like the clouds anymore.
Ferality
--------
- Skullwhack had its unconscious time reduced by 66%.
- New transcendent skills: FLURRY and QUARTER
- You won't get weird double messages when you are jawlocked.
- There was a bug that was letting you use bite attacks while you had
someone in a jawlock. That was fixed.
- There was a bug that people were reporting, claiming that suddenly
weird parries were coming up. I *think* I found the problem, but I'm not
sure.
- Skullwhack requires level one damage to pull off the unconscious
portion.
- Hamstring/Rend do much less damage.
I'm sure I am missing things here, if they are big I will attempt to
report them. A note about three skills in general. Scent, Track, and
Return are doing weird things, and we are aware of this. I plan on
fixing them, but I need to do some other things first.
However, just to make it perfectly clear, there seems to be some issue
with RETURN/TRACK being used to get around guards. This is a bug, and if
we catch people blatantly abusing it, you will be punished.
And, quietus is mostly fixed, but before we release it, we want to make
sure it's not going to start erasing random replicas around the land.
