Beta Test Reworks and Balancing - v1.2.258
Hey Oracles,
Another beta patch with balancing/reworks. This time focusing on :cellarius: Cellarius Starting dice, :Austra: Austra blessings, a big change to :Sothis: Sothis Starting dice, Starting Blessing, Virtues and blessings, a few balancings for :orionastrea: Orion and some balancings for enemies that we felt were too punishing on Anomaly 10.
This will be a small beta period, so in the next couple of weeks the changes that were tested and approved will enter the main branch.
Important Note: All new text are currently only available in English. All of the changes in the beta version are subject to change.
