Liaison changes

Written by: Razmael, the Synthesist
Date: Sunday, February 15th, 2015
Addressed to: Everyone


ANIMATION
---------
(1883) NPCs following you that have fallen asleep will wake up right before you move.

BATTLEFURY
----------
(1796) Engage no longer requires the Templar to be on balance or equilibrium to proc.

CORPUS
------
(1925) Fling no longer causes the target to lose balance when used indoors.

DEATHLORE
---------
(1907) New Skill: Purge

FERALITY
--------
(1928) Facemaul now requires blurry_vision instead of disfigurement.

HEMATURGY
---------
(1922) The Thirst ritual has been reworked to give the hatred affliction every 10 seconds for 60 seconds. The target-cooldown on Thirst still remains.

MENTIS
------
(1887) The various effusions now have unique messages from each other upon delivery.

MISC
----
(1884) Mental_disruption has been lowered on the focus list to be directly below mirroring.
(1886) Negative balance mod afflictions (e.g. lethargy) will now always be calculated from the base balance time, instead of multiple afflictions compounding the result.
(1889) The AUDIT command now shows your drain totals for mana, willpower and endurance. You can also do AUDIT WILLPOWER/MANA/ENDURANCE to see a full breakdown of this information. This change required a complete rewrite of code handling these drains/regens, as well as consolidating some drains that had their own separate ticker, so some numbers may be slightly different than before.
(1895) There is now a 10 second cooldown after instant-rezzing (starburst etc) before one may use the artifact wings/amulet/custom wings.
(1901) The paired locked artifact is now channeled but will only interrupt on moving, or using some sort of balance. It now has some standard restriction checks at the end of its channel.
(1910) It should no longer be possible to teleport away from the effects of battle_hunger.
(1910) Logging off or returning to haven will no longer auto-relinquish the Hunting Ground items. Instead, each minute spent either offline, or in some sort of 'safe' location (including cities, havens, and portal rooms) will increase its relinquish timer by one. Once three cumulative hours have passed on this timer, the item will be relinquished. There is no way to decrease the timer, and items will still auto-relinquish on death.
(1918) You can now PROBE STARCHART to see what stars it is attuned to.
(1930) The QUEUE command is now usable while channeling, and queues will not attempt to fire until a channel has ended.
(1916) Three new queue types exist: Tree, Focus and Renew (covers all endgame aff heals).
(1892) Security ministry can now CITY COLLAPSE while standing outside a room in the city containing a den or tent in order to collapse it.

NUMEROLOGY
----------
(1911) New skill: Muddling
(1920) Rearranged the affliction trees for Tweak, review the AB files for more information. Bubonis now delivers masochism and lover's when set for mental afflictions, and epilepsy, hallucinations, and hypochondria for physical afflictions. Tweak also now informs the user what tree they are tweaking.

PRIMALITY
---------
(1934) Boosted slam now has a 1 second balance loss inflicted upon the target when they fall.

REANIMATION
-----------
(1940) New organ type: Pancreas. Gives waterbreathing when eaten.

RIGHTEOUSNESS
-------------
(1881) Cleansing aura slowed down to proc every 12 seconds, up from 10.
(1896) You can now AURA OFF ALL to switch off all blessings and your aura at once.

SAVAGERY
--------
(1905) Reduced the damage upon Hack and Bash. Stalwart no longer procs upon forced physical movement, such as Swat.

SPIRITUALITY
------------
(1794) Angels now only fade out completely on a full death, however all angel defences continue to be stripped on any form of death.
(1822) Added berserking as a selectable affliction for Angel Battle.
(1822) Shield Raze will now raze shielded defence before rebounding.

SUBTERFUGE
----------
(1894) New skill: Backstab
(1894) New skill: Shadowslip

TAROT
-----
(1912) Epseth/Epteth has been renabled for the Warrior-Adder combo, but will only affect the limb targeted by the Warrior card.

TEKURA
------
(1923) Reduced the damage upon Jumpkick, Hammerfist punch, Snapkick, and Moonkick.

TELEPATHY
---------
(1795) Sapience will no longer pick up on the various queue commands.

WOODLORE
--------
(1935) Cockatrice will now deliver dizziness or epilepsy, instead of hallucinations or dementia.

Penned by my hand on the 9th of Haernos, in the year 441 MA.
