TAVERN expanded and now allows you to assemble any of the 60 playable characters into a party of 4. Explore the Tavern, see who you can recruit...
CELLAR - You can also take a shortcut from the cellar direct to level 1, level 3 or level 7!
HARDCORE MODE - go chat to the shady guy in the cellar - you can now reduce the potency of resurrection potions so you HAVE to use the altars of rebirth to bring back fallen comrades!
Some extra innate powers added to creature-folk as well... so get to it adventurer!
