Excellent stuff, Abyssonym. Unfortunately the auto-update doens't seem to work for everyone. Sadly I have no way to even diagnose this at the moment.
MiaBs: That's just how the randomization came out, though I expect it to be lower in general. I plan on eventually changing the MiaB algorithm to either match the 4% number on average, or maybe go a little higher. This will have to wait until I can place the monsters in tiers, much like the items. Of course at that point I'll also be able to randomize the formations that show up, which would be another nice change to have. Possibly be able to randomize the formations a little bit.
Umaro's second ability is a stop-gap until Leno finishes his patch that will swap Umaro's Magic list pointers with the character that is a berserker. Last I checked he had some good progress, I think getting half of the feature to work perfectly. He just hasn't had time to finish it up. I think the Lore thing came up... if that's the only one that is bugged, I can just remove that from the list of abilities he can get.
The checksum thing will be nice. I'll need to be able to make the save checksum work anyway for when I start writing save files, as I plan on including a save right before the floating continent (after Leo dies, with the cutscene already watched) with all characters at level 20-30 (not sure on this number yet) and all missable treasures from WoB acquired, as well as come number of every consumable buyable at that point. That way players can start a race at the "interesting" part of the game. This feature would be nice to have input on for tweaking numbers, etc. Any idea if the save uses the same algorithm for the checksum?
