Fixed bug where equipment could get disabled after level switch if characters base attributes did not cover the requirements. Fixed error in renaming characters with special letters in the name.

Added cursed floor traps to Crypt, Dungeon, Barracks and Courts trap rooms in New Game+. Added Cursed Chests and Resource Caches when playing in New Game+, these spawn both rewards and shades. Reduced the amount of shades in citadel shortcut. Increased shades HP and Armor. Cultists no longer summon shades. Changed the Shadow Curse Gain stat to be multiplicative instead of additive. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45170693/24f615de5733b35d63d41ff66cd64f61ba295890.png Added Elixirs that give permanent attribute increases. Every NG+ reached unlocks 3 elixirs to be found for each of the 5 attributes (str/dex/int/foc/vit). These Elixirs can be found in cursed chests and caches, and are awarded for killing the final boss, however you need to be playing a high enough NG+. To find the first 3 elixirs you need to be playing NG1 or higher, for the next 3 you must be in NG2 or higher, etc. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45170693/7ff0a2b66deb5660502d7debd00d6b9be16f0528.png Added rerolling of skill spheres and trinket pickers.

Parry Medal trinket now also triggers a riposte when parrying which returns 200% Main Hand Weapon damage. Changed final 5-piece bonus of Soldiers Uniform trinket set to give Life Leech on Weapon Crit. Added Shield Mastery to weapon mastery trainer for increasing block amount on shields. Life leech now heals at double the rate, but the pool of life leeched is now reset when reaching full health, so you can no longer overheal and "store" it. Enemy groups no longer spawn with multiple different bannermen. This should lead to roughly the same amount of enemies buffed by a banner, but much fewer being buffed by multiple different banners. Fix for healing banners healing faster in multiplayer. Made the Troll Ruler enemy in Dark Caves more common. Dark Halls skull "mines" no longer spawn so they overlap. Updated Accomplishment tooltips in the Guild Halls menu to be a bit more clear. Improved collision with bottomless pits in Dark Halls so it's less common to be pushed into them.
