Version history for ToME-SX by AmyBSOD, given in reverse chronological order *bundlebundlebundle* <3

- Nerve resistance now gives a saving throw against paralysis effects.
- Added resistances to ether, nerve and mind as item properties.

- Bumped the version number up to 1.28.

- The fate nastytrap now works even if the player has fates turned off, by making the trap ignore that option and giving them a fate anyway.

May 2025
- Using probability travel to instantly move to another dungeon level now enforces a timer before the player can do so again.

- Added a new deity, Vana.
- Added a couple of new elemental damage types: ether, nerve and mind.
- Pet commands no longer work on coaligned monsters that aren't pets.
- Fixed oddities with the randomized appearances of potions which were making it possible sometimes to predict what certain unidentified potions are.
- Added a new birth option: "masochist mode", which makes the game harder by reverting some ToME-SX specific changes that were making certain players complain that the game had become too easy. The players in question are cordially invited to play with this mode active to see whether it's still too easy.
- Throwing axes now actually perform better than other melee weapons when thrown, including damage boosts and a greatly reduced breakage chance.
- Corpse-preservation or demonology skills can now be unlocked only once per game (except when using Fumblefingers, who can still unlock them even if you later become restricted in their use again).

- Fixed bugs in breath damage calculations that had mistakenly gotten introduced earlier.
- The game should no longer freeze when the player gives an invalid target location for a targetted teleport (that was apparently a vanilla bug).

March 2025
- Dodging skill should no longer work versus magical traps.
- When a possessor character is in monster form, their max mana is now reduced based on "how often the monster casts spells", but unlike vanilla it still takes the char's normal max mana into account for the calculation.

- Invisibility on equipment is less powerful now.
