• Corrected some duplicated Active Skill prerequisite lines.

v0.5b

• Restored Gravity Stone to original stats -- otherwise might end up almost as good as Invulnerability, while being easier to get.

v0.4b

• Changed Intelligence requirements back to skill requirements -- the game engine didn't recognize them.
• Doubled Overbear bonuses - When using a two-handed weapon, you cannot use an off-hand item, and therefore lose all potential enchantments from that.

• This mod changes how skills can be assigned. Before you activate this mod, visit a skill re-trainer to unassign your skill points first.
• Skill Progression Changes
• Passive Skills
• Compacted skills and extended progression
• original level 20 value now level 10
• maximum skill level that can be purchased is now 10 (instead of 20)
• Linearized all progressions
• levels 1-10 linear at full rate - 10 is the new maximum amount characters are expected to buy, although they can buy as many as 20
• levels 11-15 linear at 1/2 rate
• levels 16-20 linear at 1/5 rate
• levels 21-25 linear at 1/10 rate
• levels 26-30 linear at 1/20 rate
• Active Skills
• Requirements halved, but added a uber-level requirement is now added
• Uber level requirement = total skill points originally required x1, x1.5, and x2 for levels 1, 2, and 3 respectively
• E.g., Brutal Attack 3 was Critical Strike 8; now it is Critical Strike 4 and Uber 16.
• Skill Descriptions -- Changed some skill names, and some skill descriptions for more clarity as to what they do.
• Skill Changes
• Provoke
• This defensive-only skill is designed to get the user in trouble. Bonuses have been greatly improved.
• Improvements:
• Changed +Armor% to Physical Damage Resistance %
• Added equal % chance to Blocking % chance
  
• Rebuke
• Now it does not knock the target back.
• To make up for the fact that a knocked back target had to move to re-engage, the stun duration has been extended very slightly.
• Summon-related passive skills -- Now all skills available to both Nature Mages and Combat Mages. The engine does not seem to recognize an "OR", so used a combination of uber level and intelligence (requirement is 10 + level x 3).
• Magic Skills that affect both Nature and Combat magic -- Like Summon skills, now available to both types of Mages. Active Powers are restricted by class.
• Brilliance
• No longer a prerequisite for Energy Orb. Combat Mages are advised to take Natural Bond instead, which is now made available by Intelligence.
• Made available for all classes.
• Quickened Casting -- Made available for all classes.
• Eruption -- Activation delay reduced from 3 seconds to 1 second.
• Rune of Blood -- Activation delay reduced from 2 seconds to 1 second
• Summon Provoke - Increased provoke radius and duration.
• TO DO
• Extend duration of assassin marks
• Reduce size of assassin marks above target's head, or change them to floating skulls.
