+ Body part damage caused to limbs with weapons (ie warrior attacks)
will now have their wounding reduced by 50% if another warrior has
struck the same limb in the last three seconds. The attacker and the
victim will see a modified message showing the partial obstruction, so
you will likely need to update your systems to account for this
additional warrior message. Report 1131.

rooms of powerful presences. It can no longer be cast in those rooms.
Reality now takes 2-4 seconds to complete. Report 1077.

must be less than or equal to 10% of your score + 10% of their score).

Recovery will now still use normal balance rather than half balance.

every ten seconds that the victim is away from the Researcher. Report
1134.
