Greetings Sapience,

Another round of updates and bug fixes has just gone in thanks to the
efforts of our coding team.

Of note in this latest batch, players in Houses and Cities may find
themselves with some new abilities.

The syntax for HOUSE SPONSOR has been changed slightly. Following the
player's name, you must now include either FULL or PARTIAL (HOUSE
SPONSOR <player> FULL|PARTIAL). A full sponsorship will grant the
sponsored player House Rank 3 while a partial sponsorship will only
increase their House Rank to 2.

You may now append an optional skill name to HOUSE SKILLS to see which
specific abilities a player in your House knows using HOUSE SKILLS
<player> [skill]. If no skill is included, this power will function as
it did previously.

Ministers of War and members of a city's ruling council will find they
now have the ability to DISMISS <person> AS SOLDIER, should they wish to
remove someone from their city's military. Doing so will prevent the
dismissed player from re-enlisting as though they had resigned on their
own.

TwoArts and Striking afflictions should now end correctly when they are
supposed to.

Ship swashbucklers have received a bit of a defensive buff making them
immune to critical hits.

You will now require balance and equilibrium to use CRYSTALHOME.

If you come across any bugs with these changes, please submit a BUG
report with as much relevant detail as possible.
