Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Penetration, the combat skill, now actually does something against resists."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "major change to how Penetration, the combat skill, works with regards to resists. It has diminishing returns, asymptotically approaching a point where you can completely ignore resistances; for full details, see rpinfo penetration. We may tweak the formula further, later on."

Chinthliss says, "Whisper now has logging, with the same functionality as the other logs (E.g. 'wh #last 50' to get the last 50 lines, 'wh #last 15m' to get the last 15 minutes, etc)"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Made sure that powers with a required level of 100 or greater are *actually* unmasterable, even with Form Slot Power."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Enhanced Condition Chance had its status chance boost cut down from 25 down to 15. Trained Skill status chance boost cut down from 10 to 5."

Chinthliss says, "Since a number of folk gave feedback on it, bunch of formatting options added to whisper, see 'wh #help'."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "The Blocking modifier no longer adds the Passive power with cover to summons. That didn't work. Instead, it now adds Passive With Full Aura with cover to summons. That *should* work."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "you can now directly pick a damage type for a power, rather than having to cycle through everything. Syntax is 'stance <power>=<type>'"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "*Syntax is 'stance (power)=(type)'"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "auto blaster's ( Mechanical drone power ) DoT is now WeaponDamage."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Same treatment for other summons' powers. They now properly use weapondamage where relevant"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "in principle, you can now set stances on summons with the stance command. As of right now, this does nothing."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "you can now set the damage type for individual attacks on your summons. The syntax is 'stance (summon)/(power)=(type)'"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "This still does nothing"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "stance now shows you what your summons are set to, including their powers. This, still, does nothing."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "*this does not yet include powers from modifiers"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Modifier-based powers now show up in stance, too. Still does nothing."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "same for children and eggs. Unfortunately, it still does nothing."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "*also roopets"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "turns out setting blanket damagetypes on summons is a bad idea. We've disabled that again. you can still set it on individual powers."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "it does something now. Specifically, it lets you set the damage type your summons are dealing with their powers. Healing powers can have their stance set, and the system will then completely ignore you doing that, because that is a bad idea. ( note, that last part only applies to summons )"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "( If you set a summon to a damage type globally, please file a request so we can fix that. This is not something you can fix on your side )"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Dojo now accessible if you got through the Weapon Master questline, regardless of how you started it."

Chinthliss says, "Disentangled some weird $def/$undef logic in web class changing that looks like it was hacked in to fix a dependency issue and then left to fester. This shouldn't effect anything, but making a record of it in case stuff breaks."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "New, complicated stringparsing."

Mostly Retired Fauna > [defeat VICTOR on LOSER num NUMBER of FORM]

Mostly Retired Fauna > [victory VICTOR on LOSER num NUMBER of FORM]

Mostly Retired Fauna > [ovictory VICTOR on LOSER num NUMBER of FORM]

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "these print, respectively, the defeat, victory, or 3rd person victory of the specified FORM, using VICTOR and LOSER as the victor and loser, respectively. These are intended for use with template forms that include a groin desc. Our new helpfile wizard, Kynnhai, is hard at work making sure the helpfiles have relevant documentation."

Questionably Eldritch Kynnhai whispers, "Speaaaaaking of, that should be in correctly now! You can also check out some edits and new info at +help combat/atb and +help combat/templates ! Enjoy, and I'll be doing more edits and additions as we go!"

Nuku softly churrs, "A new accessory appears, a strange visor of some kind. Odd."

Nuku softly churrs, "* Avatar accessory"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "@viewparse now shows comments on its own line."
