-------------------------------
V0.15.05 (December 23, 2025)
New game features
- Added Absorption mechanics in battles
-- Casters start absorbing an enemy, immobilizing both units in place for the next two rounds
-- At the end of the next two rounds, the enemy unit is defeated regardless of health or lust amounts. The absorber gains a status effect increasing all their combat skills for for a week.
-- The beneficial status effects from absorbing an enemy can be "stacked" up to three times
-- A character that is being absorbed or is absorbing another is immune from absorption themselves
-- Absorptions can be cancelled in several ways:
--- A 15% chance when the absorbing character takes a damage
--- Either absorber or absorbee is teleported, knocked back, or swapped or with any other unit
-- Absorbing Siren Song is the only combat ability that utilizes this mechanic so far and is owned by the Elf Absorptionist unit and Bonnie McKracken. It can also be granted by equipping the Siren Shanty Sheet offhand equipment item.
-- Absorbed player team's followers can never be recovered post-battle. Companions automatically escape their absorptions.
--- This behavior can be turned off in the campaign customization options. When disabled, the standard stay/leave roll is performed instead.
-- The player is immune to being absorbed in battles
-- Battlefield absorption is blocked from being used by both the player and AI when the Absorption theme tag is disabled.
New game content (quests/writing/art/etc):
- Stared work on Bosom Buddies quest, a level 17+ quest.
-- This can be started by talking to an NPC in Fort Veronica.
-- This quest is hidden when the Absorption tag is disabled.
-- The quest currently ends when escaping from Bonnie.
- Added Wounded Dragon Changeling encounter in Sunrise Archipelago, an encounter where the party can earn a unique Dragon Breath Bracelet enhancing Spellslinging and Toughness, and also granting the flame breath combat ability

Yep--absorption is becoming a new battlefield mechanic as well, though a bit of a taboo one if you're trying to be a "good" person. I post a lot of work in progress updates on the discord server for those curious.
