Rune/Infusion

That will definitely improve the survivability in the east and against adventurer parties.

Oh wow. Yes, definitely.

Oh wow. Yes, definitely. Adventurer parties won't be quite so much a death sentence anymore.

what is *body* armour?

Does body armour for Cursed Gifts include feet, head, hands, cloak, etc, or only light, heavy, massive?

Body Armor Jenx

Just light, heavy and massive I believe. :-/

possible chat log bug/glitch?

this doesn't happen all the time, but when i try to left click to move or attack on the bottom 7 tiles or so, often the chat log will appear. it keeps me from being able to attack my enemy or stategically avoid enemies because the only direction i can move is back up. now sometimes i CAN get down to the bottom of the screen but then i cant move back up again.

Yeah, fixed
