Recent Changes for the WoD
This is a listing of the major changes that have been made to WoD. Hopefully I'll
keep this up, because I'm bad at that... It doesn't necessarily represent all the
changes that have been made. Most bug fixes, for example, won't be listed. There's
usually too many of them, and they're not very interesting anyway (important ones
will probably be listed, though.) Also, I tend to
do a lot of scripting specifically for quests that the seers are running, and I
wouldn't want to ruin the surpise by listing them here.

- Rather major new system implemented - advancement. As this is such a large
addition, there are almost certainly going to be a large number of bugs
- The basics: Combat skills can now advance through usage. This isn't 'normal'
advancement, though: this advancement occurs in addition to the normal .spec limits,
which means that it can take you above 100 skill (for primaries.)
- This advancement skill is not lost upon death. Once you gain skill, its yours
permanently
- You can see how much you've advanced in a skill using the new skill window that
was implemented a few days ago (its the 'Adv.' column)
- Advancement is currently limited to 5.0 bonus skill points. In time this will be
raised
- Advancement occurs in 0.1 skill increments. The amount of 'skill experience' needed
to advance further doubles every 1.0 skill points (so it takes the same amount of XP
to go from 0.1 to 0.2 as it does from 0.0 to 0.1, but it take twice as much XP go
go from 1.0 to 1.1 as it does to go from 0.0 to 0.1.)
- The rate of advancement is very much subject to change depending on how things work out
- Currently, the only skills that can advance are combat skills (weapon skills, tactics,
parry, anatomy) Magery and secondary magery skills will probably be added (semi-)soon.
- Again, the way to advance a skill is to use it. Fighting with a sword, for instance,
will give you skill experience points in swordsmanship

- The skillwindow has been updated. In addition to listing your current skill level, you
can now expand it to display your base skill (what you get through training), item skill bonuses,
magic spell bonuses, and bonus skill from *deleted for security reasons*
