August 2017 Update! — Equin: The Lantern Steam update #130680

Hello again, time for some more cool things! ADDITIONS *All shields now gain a chance to block. Whenever a monster goes to physically hit you and you're equipped with a shield you'll have a chance to totally negate any damage. The chance is passive, which means you don't have to do a damn thing except have fun! You can view your shield block percentage on the 'special' screen. Note: If you have been put to sleep via a spell, you are unable to shield block. CHANGES *To help balance how cool shield characters are now, those who wish to use big weapons also get a surprise- All special skills normally found on these weapons have had their HIT% penalties REMOVED and their damage INCREASED. Yeah! *Damage increased on the 'stab' and 'crush' weapon skills as well. *The Warrior's HUNKER skill now also grants an extra 5% chance to block if you're using a shield. Now I have to go an update my guide...
