- Total spellslots allowed on equipped items are now limited to 255 total, to prevent crashes, checked on equip instead of on login. Almost all our crashes have been caused by this, despite the current fix.
- Treants can now switch at will between small and large appearances.
- Added another appearance to the Maelephant subrace.
- Non-monk shifters no longer get shield bonus while shifted, since they get most of their wisdom bonus instead.

- Characters with 5 levels of Harper Scout can now take UMD as a cross-class skill in legendary levels.
- Light armor has been changed to a dexterity bonus to ac cap of 24 minus base armor instead of 22 minus base. Leather armor is base 2, for example, so now allows 22 dex bonus to ac.
- Instead of getting both Str and Dex bonuses for every 5 legendary levels, Barbarians now only get strenth bonuses, unless they have the weapon finesse feat, in which case they get dexterity instead of strength.

- Listen skill now increases your chances of hitting concealed enemies. A listen score of 60 is equivalent to blindfight, and higher scores get better still. Details on the Class and Equipment board in the Docks.
- Bluff skill can now reduce enemy ab, just as Taunt recudes enemy ac. Both are used via the taunt skill, and the !opt tauntbluff command toggles between them. The effects of bluff do not stack with Taunt. Both Bluff and Taunt are now free actions, once per round max.
