- Increases to stats (buffs) will now be calculated in a dramatically   
different manner. Abilities, spells, and skills that increase stats give
"weights" and no longer correspond to increases to stats in a 1:1       
manner. In other words, +2 strength may not necessarily give you +2, but
rather give a weight of +2 to strength. As an example, +1 to a stat     
needs only a weight of +1, +2 on a stat needs a weight of 2-3, +3 on a  
stat needs a weight of 4-5, etc. The maximum is now capped at +5. This  
includes divine favours. The exception is size which will still be      
calculated in a 1:1 manner. See HELP BUFFS. (This is experimental and   
may be subject to modification in the future.)                          
-Dark Spirits who protect Crows will no longer make multiple attacks.
-Druid Fury, Aquamancy Maelstrom and Geomancy Pollute will no longer    
break a staff or cudgel. Further, these powers will also blow through   
shields.
