Revised professional abilities for thieves

After yesterdays great suggestions on thieving abilities I have refined them somewhat. Here's the revised list (and BTW you still might want to vote JADE to the top as the favorite roguelike of the year on the right of this blog ;-) ):

Working on professional abilities for thieves

Currently I am working on the professional abilities for thieves. Thieves will enjoy various (mostly non-statistical) advantages over the course of their level progression. Here we go:

Tuning the professional abilities of fighters

Given the amount of criticism to my first attempt at special abilities for fighters as described in todays previous post I'm trying harder :-) How about the following ability list for fighters:

Pimping thieves for JADE 0.2.0

JADE 0.2.0 offers a couple of new professions. Besides the fighters you by now are accustomed to JADE 0.2.0 will have tinkers, commoners and thieves as additional classes. A somewhat strange selection considering the fact that JADE 0.2.0 is supposed to be the first release of the "melee combat release cycle" (JADE 0.2.x). But it's befitting...

More races and professions in the next JADE release

Tonight was productive. I added eight new PC races to JADE (dark elves, drakelings, gnomes, gray elves, high elves, hurthlings, trolls and orcs) as well as two new professions (thieves and commoners).

Now for the tedious part... adding all the new equipment sets for the new combinations. That's really boring... *yawn*
