NEW / QUALITY OF LIFE - Death shouts have their own colour: 'colour death bold+red'. - Spiders: 'setenv web_low <pct>' colours the (web: X%) on your HP bar with the web_low colour (bold red by default) when it drops that low. - Mindflayer hypnotize, dracolich charm undead and nefaricium command undead now show <Charming: X> on the HP bar, like bards. [relog] - Unicorns in blindmode: lifebloom shows as "(lifebloom 3 of 5)" instead of a graphic. [relog] - After you die and are resurrected, 'hearth return' takes you back to where you died (usual return fee). Not for arena/war deaths or no-return rooms. [reboot] - Warlord recruits renew from your bank if you don't have enough gold on hand, instead of leaving. - Shaolin fishing: when your basket is full, a bigger catch replaces your smallest fish. - Looking at a monk's stick shows its notch count. [new] - GMCP: wield, unwield, wear, remove, drop, get, give and eat push item updates immediately, plus a full re-sync every 4 seconds. BALANCE - Kegs: each drink now heals 10% of your max HP and only uses that much from the keg. About 10 drinks to fill up at any level - stronger for low levels, less burst at high levels. The pause between drinks and the 'too drunk' penalty are unchanged. Existing kegs update when re-cloned. [new] - Jotun: thrash works with any wielded weapon. Uprooted trees still hit harder and are still the best choice. - Jotun hellhound and winterwolf: double HP (about 800 instead of about 400 at mid levels). Re-summon to get it. SPHINX FORM (changeling) - Sphinx now has its own damage messages: wings, golden paws and the odd riddle. - +15 terrain combat bonus in the desert. Both take effect the next time you shift.
