Monster Traits

Monster Traits are small icons that appear when right-click inspecting a monster to give extra detail about what that entity can do. Hover an icon to see details.

• Added 21 traits and icons, which will show up on all creatures.
• The monster detail box now also shows current status effects.
• Added new effect "Speed Matching" - monsters with this trait speed up their attacks and movement speed to match faster opponents.
• Gave "Speed Matching" to Null Champion, Ravager, Bandit Slayer, and Bandit Mauler.

Medicine Skill

The medicine skill needed some more abilities to make it an appealing option to invest in.

• Added sound effects for medicine: Bandage, Tea, Forest Tea, Thawing Ointment, Skin Cream, Shadewood Mixture, Soothing Balm, Healing Lotion, and First Aid Kit.
• New Medicine Abilities: "Careful Tending", "Cauterize Wound", and "Apply Pressure" .
• New Medicine Recipe: "Long-lasting Antidote".
• Tweaked level requirements and focus point costs for other Medicine abilities.

Severe Bleeds

Bleed wounds have been separated into two stages, starting off as "Bleed (Severe)" which deal 2 damage per turn, but turn into regular "Bleed" wounds after 10 turns, which deal significantly less damage.

Overall, bleed wounds will now deal more damage up front and last longer, but deal a similar amount of damage overall.

Other Changes

• Removed "Exhausted" status effect. Starting your turn with 0 energy no longer has any negative effect.
