You Call That A Knife?, posted on Sun Apr 1 10:51:14 2018
Posted by: Aristophanes
Category: Special
As I'm sure many of you are aware, some melee types (e.g. polearm, axe, misc, and flail) have been in a bad spot for a long time. This is, at least in part, due to the lack of decently-damaging, heavier weapon choices in these weapon classes.

I have therefore selected a very limited number of weapons in these melee classes and updated them.

Please note that this is a stop-gap measure intended to help some neglected melee classes until combat changes further down the line are ready :)

Another magical experiment by the Bes Pelargic wizards has gone wrong. Your intrepid reporter isolated the head researcher responsible for the accident for an exclusive interview.

Q: Did this experiment -

The interview ended at this point. However, the head researcher is available in the Bes Pelargic wizards' guild again for further questions.

Light It Up!, posted on Wed Mar 28 19:04:26 2018

After getting a few separate people to repeat the calculation that I made myself to make sure I wasn't crazy(ier), I have reduced the weight of lightable torches slightly.

They were rather too heavy for what they were, so this should be more convenient for those of you who want to carry them for whatever nefarious purpose.
