Blackguards: 4.2.0 to 4.2.1

Haha, yeah, same. Had a momentary inspiration for a new character class

Drunken master! And as a werewolf too. We need some vampiric strike in the mix...

Bloodlust mechanics are interesting, and surprising... I like it.

Virtually unchanged from Nick's design. Very quirky and fun! I would like to expand on it a bit, even, and maybe make those bonus blows apply to the blows spells.

[Diego Gonzalez]

That would be really nice. Thanks!

Anyone else seeing their hitpoints fall while digging? Still wondering if this is a bug or on purpose.

Bug, fix (by backwardsEric) should be out in the next few days.

This code in process_command can be dangerous at high levels if the time counter is very high. I couldn't use the inventory to quaff healing potions or teleport away. I was kind of locked. I *think* is this code. I cant confirm the value of the time counter. I'll try to simulate that same situation.

        /* Actually execute the command function */
	if (game_cmds[idx].fn) {
		/* Occasional attack instead for bloodlust-affected characters */
		if (randint0(200) < player->timed[TMD_BLOODLUST]) {
			if (player_attack_random_monster(player)) return;
		}
		game_cmds[idx].fn(cmd);
	}

[TMD_BLOODLUST] shouldn't be able to exceed 50

[Diego Gonzalez]

Thanks! Perhaps bloodlust was 50, so I got a 1/4 chance to attack the unique instead of using an item. Too much bloodlust can kill you!
