A few tweaks

WindStrike · 08-21-2018, 03:06 PM

A few changes, some that I considered making during the last quest, but decided for consistency sake to wait till the end.

Changelist

Steal reverted to how it used to be, aka roll Power vs. Power, Courage vs. Courage, and Wisdom vs. Wisdom.
Camouflage can no longer be used without a reference. That is, if you stand still and just say that you camouflage in place, then you'll stand still like an idiot and be perfectly visible for someone to shoot you. From now on, you must actually specify what you're camouflaging into/behind.
Sneak Up/Stealth Strike now ignore Bonus Attack Dice & Defense Dice. I'll have Sephiroth tweak this one when he can.
