This is the last of the Special Report, and boy there's a lot to see!

o There is a new demigod power: Dessicate!

o There is a new demigod power: Respect!

o There is a new demigod power: BeastAura!

o There is a new demigod power: Masquerade!

o There is a new demigod power: Sparkler!

o There is a new demigod power: Typecast!

o ChoiceEnterMessage and ChoiceLookText will, over the coming days
and/or weeks, receive new options based on your guild, city/commune, or
order. Please check (using POWERS INFO) your current enter/look text to
ensure it hasn't been unintentionally altered during the changeover;
please accept my apologies for the inconvenience if it has.

o Druidry Thornlash now has five limbs to cover. Two arms, two legs, and
the head. The power cost caps out at 8p, even if all five limbs are
lashed.

o Druid combat has a new affliction mechanic. Here's a brief rundown of
how it works:
+ Allergies can be mild, strong, severe, or incapacitating.
+ The worse your allergies, the longer you will take to
writhe free from entanglements.
+ The worse your allergies, the harder you will find it to
shrug off poisons.
+ The worse your allergies, the harder you will find it to
climb up and down. At severe, climbing has a 50% failure
rate. At incapacitating, this rises to 80%. Failure incurs
a balance loss depending on your allergy level.
+ Allergy levels decrease over time. They will decrease twice
as fast if you are not in the presence of the druid who
is making you suffer, and will clear up completely shortly
after leaving his presence, and any forest environment.

o Druidry Pollen and Swarm now increases allergy levels, if the target
is already suffering from an allergic reaction. The effect is increased
in the trees.

o Druidry Sap's equilibrium cost is now 3 seconds.

o Sap now steals 1.0 - 2.5 seconds balance from the target depending on
their allergy level.

o Thornlashes can once again be placed on a target who is sapped.

o Igniting thornlashes now only cures 1-2 at a time (1 with a 50% chance
to cure a second).

o Thornrending someone non-fatally will now give 25% more bleeding if
the target is in the trees elevation.

o Ignite damage is increased on someone who is sapped.

o There is a new ability in Druidry: SeedCloud!

o There is a new ability in Druidry: Monitor!

o There is a new ability in Druidry: IntoxicatingFlower!

o Power-consuming knighthood abilities will no longer have a natural
miss rate (lunge, assault, sweep, makehay, crush, pulp, execute).

Penned by My hand on the 15th of Roarkian, in the year 323 CE.
