Things will be slowing down a bit from here on out, but I will be trying to keep having weakly (or fortnightly) patches for some time, just smaller ones. This one has a few more balance tweaks and fixes across the board.
Gameplay:
-The Onmyoji can take Honed Strikes again (this was actually an accidental removal)
-One With Smoke is now a level 1 perk, but the fire resistance has been reduced to compensate.
-Hardening Steel has been nerfed:
---When adding stacks, there is a (current stack)% chance to fail. This effectively caps the max bonus at 10 and makes getting them harder and slower in general.
-[GLANCING] has been changed to lower critical damage. This basically just nerfs shurikens and nothing else. They still have normal critical damage for the purposes of sneak attacks.
-Changed the "traps deal stun damage" perk to make it so smoke mines now deal a bit of poison damage as well. Also changed the name and increased the stuns.
-Buffed Trapmaster a little:
---Damaging a boss or unique enemy with a trap now permanently grants +1 CUN, once per enemy. (Doesn't work on 26 Martys, before you ask. But it should work on both Koma-inu!).
-Aura Master's Ki generation bonuses are now a bit less insane.
-Added a failsafe to prevent repeated door closing loops.
-Added an Onmyoji perk, Preservation. It gives a spell that lets you choose not to use Yin/Yang, for a cost.
-Reduced the paralyzation of Paralyze rooms somewhat.
-Renamed Deathblow (the Shinobi crit perk) to "Blood Geyser" and buffed it a bit.
QOL:
-Crafting talismans when inventory is full now drops it on the ground.
Bugfixes:
-Fixed a bug where food crafting recipes would not fail (without Hocho Masamune).
-Fixed a bug where using Finality with excessive Yin would make you go over 100 purity.
-Fixed a bug where doors wouldn't close silently with high SOUNDSTEALTH(it was coded in but didn't trigger).
-Fixed a bug where Ascension removing equipped gear would sometimes not remove the effects of the gear.
-Fixed a bug where starting with leathers on ascension 10 as Iga would remove all leathers.
-Fixed an oversight where certain things could stop you from being able to offer sake to Shuten.
