Changes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ely rework:\n<ul>\n<li>Piety gain now comes from exploration, not pacification or weapon destruction.<\/li>\n<li>Abilities have been reworked: Lesser &#038; Greater Heal Self are now 1* and 4* abilities respectively (and have been renamed), Greater Heal Other is now 2*, 3* is Purification, and Lesser Heal Other has been removed. The &#8220;Heal Self&#8221; abilities have been renamed to just &#8220;Lesser\/Greater Healing&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Wands of Heal Wounds can no longer be used to pacify monsters.<\/li>\n<li>The Healer background has been removed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Other removals: the spell Forceful Dismissal, the spear of the Botono, and rN- effects.<\/li>\n<li>Tomb monster tweaks:\n<ul>\n<li>Death Scarabs no longer cause draining (or rN-).<\/li>\n<li>Bennu no longer have sticky flame.<\/li>\n<li>Ushabti now only create negative energy clouds, not miasma.<\/li>\n<li>Anubis guards no longer have Control Undead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Shadow traps now deactivate temporarily after being triggered.<\/li>\n<li>Display of artefact weapons in non-webtiles HUDs has been tweaked; the names no longer display if it would cause the line to become too long.<\/li>\n<li>Elemental evokers no longer stack.<\/li>\n<li>Meatsprint lost souls have been renamed to wretched souls, so as to avoid ambiguity with the completely unrelated monster, non-meatsprint lost souls.<\/li>\n<li>Dispersal &#038; Gell&#8217;s Gravitas have had their confusion effects slightly buffed.<\/li>\n<li>The lantern of shadows now drains MP while wielded, and summoned shadows disappear after reaching 0 MP or unwielding the lantern. It no longer recolours the environment in console.<\/li>\n<li>Large rocks no longer have a randomized throwing range.<\/li>\n<li>Steel ammo now mulches at the same rate as normal ammo.<\/li>\n<li>Two new Ru sacrifices: &#8220;sacrifice skill&#8221;, reducing all skill apts by 1 point (and adjusting your existing skills accordingly), and &#8220;sacrifice experience&#8221;, costing you 2 XL and reducing the XL cap by 2. (So max level becomes 25.) <\/li>\n<li>Beogh now has the same chance of blessing followers after a kill, regardless of whether you or your followers made that kill. (Previously, the odds of a blessing were dramatically higher for kills made by followers.)<\/li>\n<li>The &#8216;pizza=&#8217; rcfile option has been added back &#038; improved, after over two years in rcfile exile.
