Cool changes all around, specifically the mount fixes.


MR to protect against voodoo is like.... wat.
I mean, voodoo is dumb, but why not just remove the spell, rather than encourage/force casters to all roll MR.


- Self-cast spells do not cause fatigue on expiration
Why? Did sorcs need more buffs, or was this something related to faith spells?

Added because I believe it to be an oversight. There are methods for spells to ignore MR, but voodoo wasn't using them. It just had no coded check for MR at all. And another defense against voodoo seemed okay to me.

It was part of the standardization of the peak spell affects. The sorcerer buffs and the faith spells were each trying to do something different. I decided that these buffs when applied to a sorcerer are not broken. It's casting them on other people that leads to broken fighting.

Thanks.

Even though it's not, I will take this as a question of "What does MR healing impairment mean?"

Every time someone heals through resisting a spell via their MR, their MR percentage for healing purposes will be reduced. This is cumulative per spell until the impairment wears off. So a barbarian won't overly notice this change if they are being healed through someone occasionally casting attack spells at them. However, if they are choking down herbs that have three spells per pop, or getting hit by chain lightning, your healing ability will drop pretty quickly and for long enough that it won't come back for the rest of that fight or any immediate follow-up fights.

Overall, I am glad about the update, but now shamans have the choices of being a: Lump of clay (defender using doll instead of wpn), weak healer, or weak maledictor? Oh... Forgot, guess they can become someone's brew biatch.

also, now sprite priests and delf bards!

I have a fix in place for the crash that will take affect on the next crash/reboot.
