- I'm planning to add paths to paladins soon, and I have already added lots
of new code to that end. If you notice anything strange with paladin
powers or with guildmasters behavior let me know asap.
- Righteous Indignation will now impose its faith cost when it expires,
instead of upon casting. Casting the spell while already affected by it
will renew its duration, but will stack the faith costs. In addition to
this, the spell will automatically expire when you rent or quit the game.
- Wizard eye will no longer function in clan strongholds other than your
own.
- Mages can use the dispel command to dispel antimagic shell.
