lol, no idea what mundy is talking about with Exile.

The BH NPCs have been wimped though. They don't do much damage anymore, and are auto-hasted with like level 1 haste so they don't get attacks. They also have nowhere near as much HP as they used to.

The current King of Mobwarfare is definitely the Guardians. Only Tribunal with champion level swashies for taunting, champion level paladins for BoG and tons of both. And then the air elemental is easily the equal of anybody else's 'tough' law NPC.

- Fixed penalty to parry arrows in defensive stance

What does that even mean?

It means that you were supposed to be able to parry arrows while in defensive stance, but with a huge penalty to your chance. I discovered that the penalty was not being applied correctly, so people were able to parry arrows the same as other weapons when defensive. I fixed it.

I don't think I've ever seen anybody parry any missiles. Does this apply to all sorts of them or just arrows, and not crossbow bolts?

I know the penalty wasn't being applied, but maybe there is a completely different bug that is preventing any parries. Will take a look.

Code update all looks like good stuff.

Dulrik, while you are around and seem to have time for SK, do you think you could take a look at the save for charm person? It is the most devastating offensive spell in the game, but it seems to be the absolute hardest one to resist. Shouldn't it be as easy to resist as petrification?

I'm already declaring massive weapons as fotm. This does hurt already rolled mercenaries, save for maybe Pilnor and Aritha (if she comes back she'll be a beast). Barbarians get a huge buff. Newer mercenaries that specialise in massive weapons get a bigger buff (specialize+frenzy anyone?) Sadly, this hurts swashbucklers. A lot.
