Here&#8217;s the latest changes in trunk:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chimerae have been removed; the box of beasts now produces &#8216;mutant beasts&#8217;, a new type of creature varying in strength &#038; abilities. Each has a &#8216;tier&#8217; of strength, varying by the evocations skill of the box&#8217;s user, and a random pair of &#8216;facets&#8217; providing abilities, attacks &#038; resistances. Check them out!<\/li>\n<li>Most spells and abilities have had their descriptions rewritten for consistency &#038; clarity. Many thanks to MarvinPA for the painstaking work!<\/li>\n<li>AC now applies before elemental resistances when taking damage for clouds, as with other sources of resistible damage; this effectively makes them more dangerous in the late-game.<\/li>\n<li>Sticks to Snakes now takes arrows from the inventory, rather than requiring them to be wielded.<\/li>\n<li>Powered by Death now triggers on kills, not corpses.<\/li>\n<li>All scrolls &#038; potions can now generate in stacks, even potions of XP, scrolls of acquirement, or a few others.<\/li>\n<li>Monsters will now pick up all scrolls &#038; potions, not only ones they can actually use. (This only applies to items you haven&#8217;t seen yet, of course.)<\/li>\n<li>Most monsters have lost Teleport Self*; now only Maurice, Ribbit and Sonja can cast it. Rare and powerful magic&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Weapon descriptions now list the skill level required to reach minimum attack delay.<\/li>\n<li>Slime wall damage no longer varies by depth.<\/li>\n<li>Deep dwarf player ghosts now lose their un-regeneration-ness on death; their ghostly ectoplasm reknits normally over time. Now they can finally fit in with the other ghosts&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Moth of wrath zombies are now pluralized correctly.<\/li>\n<li>Friendly torpor snails now slow enemies. Rejoice, gastropedomaniacs!<\/li>\n<li>The Rod of Destruction no longer has a chance of producing bolts of crystal.<\/li>\n<li>Monsters casting Legendary Destruction no longer lose HP.<\/li>\n<li>You can no longer die by casting Vampiric Draining on a tile with an invisible demon on it.<\/li>\n<li>Forms which prevent spellcasting no longer also give a penalty to spell success chance.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/LMNwy3d.jpg\">Pan<\/a> has been removed.
