== 4/22/17 - 4/23/17 ==
=== Armor ===
* Fixed the enchanted AC overriding the changes made in the previous patch
* (unfixed) Chain armor and other "complex AC" items have no "generic AC" so it won't protect from things like fire(an maybe other elements?)
* "Complex AC" items did not handle enchants properly applying the enhanced AC to only one type of damage i.e. cut stab etc.  Now enchants apply to all ACs
* Max enchant is raised to +10
** (Reagents for +10 are hard if not impossible to come by at the time of this update)
    "I like it at +10 because:
    -increases the rarity curve even more
    -parity with built-in enchantments
    -with the new AC computation, it's not broken
    -10 is such a nice number, as you point out"

== 4/21/17 ==
=== Armor ===
* Most hard armor AC is now roughly double what it used to be. E.g platemail went from AC 20 to AC 40.
* Most shields are now triple what they used to be. On average they went from AC 7 to AC 21.
* DSM is now either 40 or 50 depending on the armor (used to be 20 to 30). Similar to platemail, but it's lighter than platemail and provides immunities.
* Ancient DSM is all AC 100 now. (Was all 30 before). Keep in mind that it only protects your torso.
* Most cloaks were not affected, but lion cloak, wolf cloak, and cloak of protection all went up nearly double.
* Leather and similar materials were generally only raised a little bit. No cloth armor went up in AC except (I think) the Wizard Hat, which went up a little.

=== Race ===
* Dwarves now have 25% resistance to nearly all damage types

== 4/18/17 ==
=== Race ===
* Lions now have Free Action and Iron Will by default.
** Immunity to fear
** Immunity to slow
** Immunity to paralysis
** Immunity to confusion
    "I'm guessing we still won't see many lions, but... at least they have a better signature ability now. Even pixies aren't immune to fear.
    Panthers and leopards both of course need complete overhauls -- that's still in the works."

==== Rakshasas ====
* Raks now get 2 WC per level. They go from WC 10 at level 1, to WC 108 at level 50.

== 4/5/17 ==
* "I've reduced or eliminated the resist-magic property on most monsters in the game. For monsters that already had a resist-cut, stab or smash, I generally reduced their resist-magic down to that level. If they did not have melee resistance I usually removed their magic damage resistance as well, or for certain magical monsters limited it to just 20%."
=== Spells === 
* Destruction Spell damage calculation was (80 + death * 2) and is now (death * 2)
