Release Notes, Ruleset 1.0.4

1/13/2012

0 Comments

 
Hello all.  Three days ago Lisa and I quietly pushed out an update, which was primarily intended to tighten down a few squiggles.  Probably the most noticeable adjustment in this release will be found in the subtle re-balancing of two character classes - Dwarves and Malornians.  One of the principal design goals has always been to have a fairly balanced set of playable classes, with the understanding that each possessed certain... inherent advantages.  Our feeling has been however that Dwarves and Malornians in particular didn't derive enough benefit from merely higher starting health; thus there was room for additional modification.

Good balance is always a top concern and even with this change the same overall dynamic (between the various character classes) remains.  For example, during character creation Elves and Humans can give the impression of being superior, whereas Hauflins (who haven't yet acquired a good permanent Mount) may find earning the Hero Award a greater challenge in the meantime.  Of course the advantage to Khajathi, with their natural high Agility should not be understated.  These new adjustments to Dwarves and Malornians should bring them into greater parity with the others ~ especially as it relates to the Fighter's Guild.
