Cursed Lands version 0.8.9

Hehe there's plenty of other occasions where if you fail the checks you end up in a fight. So "grinders" might want to lose on purpose!

I never thought of this a bug, the same type stacks in the stash regardless of the icon (and mixing colours was quite fun, the dual wielders had all long swords, but with different icons ; )). but now you introduced one: the same item does not stack anymore. I currently have two short swords in my inventory - the same symbol twice, not a stack with two swords.

[jack1974]

I think perhaps I'll leave as it was before then?

[myoksy]

I can only talk about myself: I noticed that identical items with different icons stack, but never thought it's a problem - they are identical, after all. at the moment with non-stacking items the situation is worse, as it clutters the inventory.

Oh, just saw that Take Aim even works on KOed chars, will the centaur shoot dead poor Nuala a second time? : D (Take Aim is AoE? It looks as if the first target was not the unconscious char but the one next to her, looks like a missing check ["don't apply on target without HP"])

[myoksy]

uh, Jack. you nerfed Debiitate even *more*. the delay was 10 and now it's 15 - I am seriously unhappy with the direction.

and the attack gets slower with higher skill levels? it is now overall a barely mediocre skill, imo. in earlier versions it was way too powerful, but now it's not exactly useless but boring and uninteresting. to use it tactically (i.e. defanging a powerful enemy) one has to priorise Agility even more.

[jack1974]

Yes I think is better too - less cluttering in the inventory and they're basic items anyway. OK I'll revert the change then (will work when shops refresh though).

As for take aim no, it's a debuff, the other attacks will do more damage.

Ok what you propose? Since you're the master of debilitate skill

Kusho's Poison skill (Expert) says it does 150% base damage. Against this foe I'm fighting, his normal attack deals 13 damage, his Poison skill deals 1 damage. Eh? Oh, and Backstab (Novice) says it does 50% base damage, and deals 12 damage. Ehh?

[Franka]

Oh, I see. It has to do with elemental resistances. That's not very intuitive when we don't know what elements our attacks are.

Yes poison is considered "Dark" resistance. I think there should be space to show the element attack type though

[jack1974]

Voilà, added the element to the skill during combat
