More updates on the beta branch

I have made the following changes to the build running on the beta branch right now:

  • Changed number of talents you can pick from when you level up to 3.
  • Removed the "Explosive" talent. I don't think anyone ever picks it.
  • The "Telefrag" talent is only offered if you are holding a weapon with the "displacement" trait when you open the talents window to level up.
  • The "Fire Resistance" talent is only offered if you are holding a weapon with the "burning" trait when you open the talents window to level up.
  • The "Polymastery" talent is only offered if you are holding a weapon with the "polymorph" trait when you open the talents window to level up.
  • The "Sure footed" talent now makes you immune to being displaced by enemies as well as immune to knock back.
  • Monster immunities are now shown in their description

Levelling up should now be a more pleasant experience. Stopping the magic weapon specific talents from showing up all of the time means they will only appear when they are actually a viable choice for you. Removing explosive, buffing sure footed and letting you pick from 3 talents each level instead of 2 should give you more freedom to develop your character, and each level up will only present viable talents to choose from.

I'll test this a bit more over the weekend and move it from Beta to the live branch on Monday.

I didn't bother to increment the version number because 1.2.0 hasn't gone live yet :P
