Okay, so after a WHOLE LOT more work, Balak has finished his grand opus on the combat system update with a rework of the Charmer class. Plus, to go along with it, we have chosen to update the Character Creation pipeline at the same time, since I reckon a bunch of you are going to be making new Charmers to check it out. This is the end of Balak’s great work, and now he can peacefully return to the writing mines with the rest of us. Big round of applause for the guy.

Oh, and just so it doesn’t get lost in the weight of all the other changes in the patch: Cait and Katya have a threesome together now! (Thanks Aury!)

Hotfix: A hotfix has been released to fix issues with pupperidge combat infinitely proccing, character creation not giving balls, Caranbrot causing NaN HP, and slider text being near-invisible in dark mode.

0.7.33 Patch Notes:

• Character Creation has seen a major update. While the core 5 Classes and 5 Races remain unchanged, as does the total list of 10 available Backgrounds, many new options have been added for starting cosmetic appearance. In addition, you can now choose any Background regardless of Class.
• Most races have new eye, hair, and/or skin color options to start with.
• Maximum starting breast size has been increased.
• New sliders have been added for most physical properties of the character in CharGen, such as thickness, muscle tone, butt size, and more.
• In addition to weapon and spell powers, we now have Charm powers. These function like spells, but for… Charmers! Charms scale off of Sexiness instead of Spellpower, and use Temptation instead of Spell Pen. Most Charmer abilities are now Charms rather than a slapdash mix of spells and untyped tease attacks.
• List of Charms: Flametongue, Hymn to Light (NEW, Cantrix Viv exclusive for now), Scaldic Cadence (NEW), Bardic Cadence (NEW), Cadence of Power (NEW), Bolstering Dance, Song of Storms, War Song, Song of Splendor, Sunblade, Charm Spell, Charming Glance (NEW), Thunder Chord (NEW), Holy Reverberation (NEW, Cantrix Viv), Dischord, Grand Finale, Notation Revelation (NEW, Cantrix Viv), Flare, Sacred Chord (NEW, Cantrix Viv)
• A bunch of healing powers now scale off of your tease boost: Flametongue, Hymn to Light, Bolstering Dance, Song of Courage, Soothing Dance.
• Bardic Cadence, Cadence of Power, Scaldic Cadence, Charming Glance, Thunder Chord have all been added to regular ol’ charmer lists.
• Song of Splendor is now a tease that applies 3 stacks of resonance
• Vestal’s Embrace now can be used even if allies are at full health so as to enable threat generation.
• Holy Ward now works as intended.
• Toughness now provides more additional Health per point (7.5 as opposed to 5).
• Base Threat is now increased by Toughness and reduced by Cunning.
• Presence no longer increases Health.
• The Leadership bonus from Presence has been reduced by half. To compensate, the scaling on Summons has been increased to Leadership + Presence instead of JUST Leadership.
• The Accuracy bonus from Agility has been reduced by half. To compensate, all characters now have a level-based passive Accuracy boost: this should equal out to about the same for max-Agility characters and provide a nice boost to low-Agility characters’ hit rates. Poor Arona can finally swing straight!
• Tease base damage nerfed from 30 to 27
• Terrified now reduces magic resist instead of mental resist
• Aroused reduces mental resist instead of magic resist
• The Charmer’s Stylish perk is now “isn’t wearing heavy armor” and gives 4*level Sexiness OR “is wearing heavy armor” and thus gives a Threat bonus equal to your Sexiness. Bard tanks!
• Catalysts now directly give their bonuses to Spell and Charm-tagged powers, rather than obliquely benefitting things using the magicalHit formula. This doesn’t REALLY change much but is a slight buff to catalysts overall, making them apply to more powers.
• Caranbrot now heals the player if they are already shielded.
• Wooden Pipes no longer grant spellpower and spell pen, instead giving ward and temptation
• Viviane has two news sets! Elemental, themed around debuffs and setting up combos, which is always unlocked; Cantrix, a holy-themed bard, which is currently unlocked by default pending some upcoming content for the witch. The latter set is exclusive to human Viv, while Demon Viv will have an exclusive set of her own soon as well.
• Skin/Fur/Scale plurality should now be properly accommodated in the game’s text.
• Roughly one assload of text cleanup, typo corrections, and other edits submitted by community members. (Thanks Tea and Zag!)
• AS FOR ACTUAL CONTENT: Cait and Katya have a 3way together with some high-impact kitty-on-kitty-on-PC squish. (By Aury)
• New CGs: Cats Double Blowjob (Yuulis), Character Creation Races (Moira)
