The most significant changes for the new age will be in Thievery.
Halflings will be returning to Utopia as a strong thief race.
Thievery operations will be split into two categories - Espionage and Sabotage.
Espionage will consist of information gathering operations and Sabotage will involve destructive operations.
There are already plenty of destructive thief operations, but not so many espionage operations.
In order to increase the importance of thievery, Crystal Ball and Crystal Eye shall be removed from spells and added as espionage thievery operations.
Clearly Crystal Ball and Crystal Eye are not very thief-like names and need to be changed. Add your suggestions for new names in the comments section found here.
An effort will be made to ensure that Crystal Ball and Crystal Eye are not significantly more difficult to successfully obtain than previously.
There will be some changes to bonuses and race mods, but not as many as in the last age. Mainly tweaking. We'll get more information on these latter changes in the next few days.
