Code:
The redeem XPboost command can be used up to three times.  Each time
will permanently boost the XP gain of the character by 10% (to a max
of 30%) but each boost costs more tokens than the one before.  This
redeem boost DOES stack with the XP boost from Bonanza events.


How long before the Redeem XPboost wears off?

Ah, had thought that was a typo.

- Reduce max combat bonus/penalty due to size

Yes! Maybe non-giant characters will now be competitive in non-spell damage-based pvp again.

Quote:
Add wisdom and charisma penalties to charm person

Can we get an elaboration on this? I'd expect high charisma to be giving a bonus to charm person, not a penalty, though I may have just maxed out my charisma for RP purposes than anything else kek

Quote:
washbuckler Update:

Glathryn, the penalty is for victims of charm person. So, if you charm a swashie it won't have as great of a chance of taunting, just as an example.

Hey, a change that will actually benefit me.

Ah the scrubclub patented resist taunt by deafness technique has been foiled!

New uses for loyalty tokens sounds awesome. The rest of the posted announcements also sound interesting but other than the 'who' entry being alphabetized, I have not played enough/diverse enough pcs to likely be able to compare to what it was changed from to give good feedback. I do have a question, though:

Is there a comprehensive list anywhere of what costs what amount of LT (across the board for races)? If not, I think it would be awesome to see a helpfile added to the game which has such, and is referenced in the loyalty tokens helpfile. It might help the more newbish of us. It would certainly help me.

Edit to add: I really like the change to the who list.
