Bush Knight

• Fixed Hedge Knight bug and event score bug.

Sojourn

16.1.0

• Removes the ability for a drunkard to break a named type item via an event.

For Modders

• If you are making your own body armor layers you can now use a handful of new existing variables for common stats like 'Resolve', 'Initiative' or 'Threat'. Changing those will automatically apply the respective effects and create tooltips for them. See 'legend_armor_upgrade.nut'
