Olmran MUD

Patch Notes from 12/02/2020:

                        
                            Game:

Monsters now persist their aggro list.  Attacking a mob adds you to their aggro list.
You remain on the aggro list until the monster dies, or other players attack the monster instead (pushing you out of the end of the list).
Increased difficulty to hide in front of a monster with the player in their aggro list.
The difficulty to hide in front of mobs you have NOT attacked remains the same.
Updated the max tap and tap damage formulas.
Fixed lifetap causing KO if caster stunned.  You will now KO if you do not have enough fat to cast the spell.

Ex:  Lifetapping a level 40 spell, with only 30 fat at time of casting, will result in a KO.



Paladin:

Consecrate Weapon is now stored in a different slot on the weapon. Can use drain, posion, bleed effects on weapons along with the consecrated buff (IE - Poison weapon will strike with Poison AND cons dmg)
Consecrate timer changed from level30sec, to level60seconds.
