"Learn"

You asked and we delivered. This command allows you to increase your character's skills a certain number of times each week, reflecting the life they lead outside your active playtime. Just a little to take the edge off the grind or help you to prioritize role play over skill progression if you have limited play time. It's not going to make your PC Lord of the Sands, but it should help to keep you moving forward.

Skill sheet update

Branch and skill increase indicators have been added to character skill sheets, so you can now easily check whether your character has just increased a skill or whether or not a skill they have still has a branch available.

I challenge you to a duel!

In Year 37 of the 23rd Age, two of His Nine Noble Houses were destroyed for their failures in decorum and loyalty. Still, Allanakis are a violence craving sort, Nobility included - it had to be sated somehow. Soon after, Nobles began challenging one another to duels with the blessing and written agreement supervised by one of His Templarate. The subset of Nobility who still wished to make one another bleed had found a legal means to sidestep the law and avoid a repeat of the Night of Ashen Highborn. Dueling then became popularized by the newly Premier House Tor, with other Noble Houses responding by hiring Champions to fight in their stead. Those chosen to fight in the stead of Nobility have found themselves at the heart of deadly politics.

Dueling is now an established tradition across the breadth of social strata. Please avail yourselves of the shiny new help file here (https://www.armageddon.org/help/view/Allanaki%20Duels) for more information.
