Spoiler free changes from Brogue
- Equipped armor now impacts your stealth, with no armor equivalent to a ring of Stealth +3, leather acts like a ring of Stealth +2 and so on, until Plate Armor is almost as bad as a cursed ring of Stealth -1 (which internally has a Stealth penalty of -4).
- Lighter weapons increase the multiplier to stealth attacks as they are enchanted. This typically does not exceed the actual damage output of the x3 multiplier of the heaviest weapons in the same class, although swords are more effective than Warhammers at very high enchantments.
- Made transference a weapon rune instead of a ring, and increased transference percentages for all weapons except axes.
- Lightning has to strike two targets, or it will reflect off walls, counting each reflection as one strike. If it does not hit any targets with the first two rebounds, it will bounce back towards the caster.
- Added staffs of Reflection, Sentries and Summoning, the latter two of which summon discordant monsters of a fixed type.
- Added potions of Winds and Water.
- Added rings of Accuracy, Might, Wizardry, Alchemy and Telepathy.
- Added scrolls of Duplication.
- Combined effects of scrolls of Remove Curse into scrolls of Negation, and removed scrolls of Remove Curse.
- Added Talismans. Talismans change the effect other items have on you while you have the talisman equipped.
- Changed Ogres to make them more useful allies and more interesting to fight. Check the description once you find one to see the changes.
- Adopted Ighalli's weapon accuracy buff to make enchanting weapons more useful. See http://brogue.createforumhosting.com/weapon-enchants-vs-armor-enchants-t451.html for the analysis. Also adopted experience tweak suggested in another thread.
