Here are some of the changes *possibly* coming down. As always, nothing is 
final until we push live.

If you have feedback, please post to the discussion board.

BUG FIXES
- Gust of wind will cause a 1-round lag if the victim isn't 
  already sitting (victim or the attacker must be an NPC)
- When a worn object burns down, it reduces ac appropriately

CHANGES
- Riposte does more damage on average now

- Recycle time on Furious Rage is now 30 minutes instead of 45

- You can first aid while resting

- Crit/Cripple strikes

  o for weapons less than or equal to 10kg weight, nothing changes,
    if you crit it's an extra 15% damage
  o for weapons greater than 10Kg weight, you no longer do a 
    'critical hit' but instead do a 'crippling blow' which adds
    30% extra damage to that strike
  o for 2-handed weapons greater than 10Kg weight (and by 
    2-handed, I mean weapons that have the TWO-HANDED flag, not 
    because you're not strong enough to wield it with 1 hand), you 
    do crippling blows that do 40% extra damage

- You can initiate a fight with the rage skill:
 
   rage <target>
   
   If you use rage without a target, it behaves as it used to. 
   
   You cannot engage a new target with the rage command if you're 
   already raging. It will simply rage you and you will continue 
   fighting your current target.

These changes are now in.

We will be monitoring the percent increase of crit/cripple/etc and adjusting
them as necessary. Please don't get too attached to the numbers just yet.

Also, one additional bug fix:

- When you cast evil thoughts on a sleeping mob, it now wakes them up
