Balance Changes

• v1.19.2: Poison on monsters is no longer capped at 4 stacks.
• v1.20: Magic contamination decreases twice as fast when at full mana and not glowing.
• v1.21.1: Constriction no longer affects blinking. Instead, being constricted gives players a 50% chance to waste scrolls when trying to read them. (There is a warning for this.)
• v1.23: Monsters immune to drowning are still silenced by being engulfed by water. (This makes phials of floods better against liches.)
• v1.23: Shield penalty is multiplied by (8 / (8 + shield_skill)) instead of subtracting skill from shield penalty. This reduction is shown in shield descriptions.
• v1.23.2: Tree form is giant size, which means potions of lignification break constriction if the source is not giant.
• v1.23.2: Unbreathing players are not protected from being silenced by being engulfed by water.
• v1.23.2: Player size increasing can break engulf like how it can break constriction.

• v1.23.4: Monster smite damage (such as from orc priests) is changed from 7-17 to 10-12.
• v1.24.1: The bonus damage % from flaming, freezing, vorpal, and holy wrath brands is no longer randomized, to make branded weapon variance more consistent with unbranded attacks.
• v1.24.3: Vorpal melee weapons have a minimum bonus damage of (1 + current_mana/25).
• v1.24.3: Flaming, freezing, and draining brands deal 1/3 more bonus damage. Vorpal brands on ranged weapons deal 1/3 more bonus damage.
• v1.24.3: Antimagic branded weapons reduce player max mana by 1/2 instead of 2/3.
• v1.24.3: Unarmed attacks in normal form have higher base accuracy. Claws no longer increase unarmed accuracy. Some transmutation forms have a smaller bonus to unarmed accuracy.
• v1.25: Unarmed attack speed is changed to (27 / (27 + skill)). This change has no effect at 0 skill or max skill, but increases attack speed by ~12% at 13 skill. This is compensation for the shield penalty rework, for weapon brand buffs, for reduced accuracy of some transmutation forms, and for shorter branches.
• v1.27: Spell hunger no longer depends on intelligence. The new formula is (135*(level - 1) - 40*spellcasting).
• v1.27: Hunger adjustments: waiting a turn still costs 3 nutrition, but now regenerating mana is +3, attacks are +27 per 10 auts, rations and chunks give +10% nutrition, and the difference between "hungry" and "very hungry" is larger.
• v1.27.2: The "MP-powered wands" mutation gives a larger (+1/3 -> +1/2) power bonus.
• v1.27.8: Storm clouds deal significantly more damage.

• v1.34.3: Demons and holy creatures can go berserk.
• v1.35.1: Archmagi can stack up to 2.
• v1.36: Weapon damage scaling with strength is simplified to (26 + strength)/36.
• v1.36: Short blade damage scales with dexterity instead of strength.
• v1.36: Inner flame explosions no longer anger allies.
• v1.36.2: Monster breath attacks have a timeout of 2 to 5 turns instead of 1 to 5 turns.
• v1.36.5: Guaranteed damage reduction (GDR) calculation is reworked. It's now normally proportional to sqrt(dexterity + armour_skill).
• v1.37.1: Base health regeneration of players is now 0.1 + HP/600 per turn. This is higher than before at low levels.
• v1.39.2: The chance of player aux melee attacks is now scaled by (25 + dexterity * 2.5)% instead of by ((strength + dexterity) * 2)%.
• v1.40.2: Large explosions are more circular.
• v1.42.1: Monster attack damage with a weapon has a smaller penalty. (2-4 -> 2, vs 1 in mainline DCSS)

It only works while unarmed without a shield, and has a chance based on your level and enemy HD to confuse hit enemies for 1 to 2 turns. It does not prevent players from dealing melee damage, and does not end when it affects an enemy. Currently, it's exclusive to Martial Artists.
• v1.39.2: Scorpion Form (L7 Transmutations/Poison) turns the player into a giant scorpion with a powerful stinger aux attack, rPois, +20% HP, and good AC. This form also has a small penalty to spell success and increases spell power (+1 enhancer level) of poison magic.
