Balance Tweaks:

  • Archery base and scaling damage has been reduced by a modest amount.

  • Archery is less dependent on accuracy for hit-chance.

    • Net hit-chance slightly reduced.

  • Raise the strength soft cap, and standardize the strength cap between races.

    • All races now soft cap at 22 strength (other than halflings - they still soft cap at 20 - small buggers).

Bug Fixes:

  • Ride/lead changes:

    • You cannot ride a mount that is following someone else.
    • You cannot ride a tame-based mount if you are unable to tame that mount.
    • You cannot lead a tame-based mount if you are unable to tame that mount.
  • Characters up to level 20 can now be deleted without Imm intervention.

  • The group leader, and all group members in the room, get kill credit/XP for

    • any character/mob killed by a member of the group.

  • Orcs now get XP/fame/exploits for any kills that their followers get even if

    • they are not engaged.
    • The same applies to rangers/tames and mystics/guardians.
  • Fix archery crash related to orc followers firing arrows.
