FreeHolder Steam Alpha 1 Hotfix 7

Agent Revamp
All of the agent's basic skills are now completely and fully functional, including all the equipment craftable with the Thiefcraft skill. Opportunist now works properly and has been enhanced. Arms dealer now provides the proper bonus to black market contracts. In short, the Agent is now an even more attractive class option.
Stealth
Furthermore, stealth is now functioning and available in combat. Any character capable of stealthing will automatically attempt to do so at the start of a round, against a group spot roll made by enemies. If successful, the character cannot be targeted. On their turn, they may either break stealth to perform a normal attack or attempt a stealth melee attack, which is a delayed attack that can be performed against any enemy on the battlefield. The enemy gets an additional personal chance to spot the attack. If spotted, the attack is totally canceled. If not, they will deliver an uncounterable attack with a very large hit bonus.
Stealth is fun, and probably a bit overpowered right now, so please enjoy it! I plan to add stealth enemies to even the playing field soon.
