It's March

Some progress has been made:

• Added Pasht as an unlockable race
• Added character race art for character creation: Faerie, Goblin
• Paladin class abilities: Lay On Hands

I took a small detour to start colourising line art that had been waiting in the sketch pad for a while. There's more waiting, so I will probably interleave this and the character class abilities to keep things fresh.

Feb Update

Here's snap from the release notes, since the last snap. Done with the Ninja, moving on to the next - Paladin I think. I also have a backlog of offline art assets to digitise, might take a detour that way depending how I feel.

 - Hero class abilities: Melee Cleave, Second Wind, Iron Skin, Provisions, KO Blow, Weapon Master, Toe to Toe, Last Stand
 - Monk class abilities: Combo Strike, Self Awareness, Reflexion

Happy 2018!

Some progress on the Monk abilities in December, but nothing significant to report. Hope to regain momentum soon!
