v3.0.0-BETA-2.0, Paladin now Live!

Hey Folks, I've just released another beta which adds the Cleric's Paladin subclass!

With this things have lurched quite a distance toward release. I'm hoping to get the Cleric content-complete in about another two weeks.

Here's a little GIF of one of their spells: Wall of Light

(Image Description: A short GIF of the Cleric casting the wall of light spell toward three enemies. The enemies are knocked away and momentarily stunned, and a large diagonal white wall appears between them and the Cleric.)

Just paid for the steam version, even though I only play on my phone on the fdroid version.
Thanks so much for this.
- Thank you for the support!

FYI, still working on my Android 4 Zeki tablet 😃
- Glad to see it! I wish I didn't have to drop support for 4.4 and below, because there's nothing stopping the core game from still using it.
  
  I'll keep updating until it fails and then I'll just have to play newer versions on newer devices.
  It really a shame that programmers are forced to make unnecessary changes.

Wow, the Paladin abilities look really good. I'm going to enjoy playing this subclass a lot.
Just for clarification, how does aura of protection work? Does it increase the effectiveness of glyphs for the Paladin as well?
Like at rank 3 the Paladin has twice the power and nearby allies have 100% power
Also does it work the same way as a ring of Arcana if it works for the Paladin as well?
- Aura of Protection does two glyph things:
  Everything in the Aura benefits from the Paladin's glyph if it wasn't already (this includes holy ward!)
  The Paladin's glyph gains +50/75/100% power (just like arcana buff, this also includes holy ward!)
  
  That's really cool.
  I really want to try this, I haven't found a rose yet, but, theoretically could I have a Sad Ghost with their own glyph, the paladin's glyph, and Holy ward?

Could we have the sacrificial altar removed from floor 1 generation as the first floor does not spawn endless enemies?
Too often you find the altar when there are no enemy left to sacrifice.
- Empty floors do actually spawn additional enemies if you encounter a sacrifice room.
  
  I actually went out and tested again, same conclusion.
  Floor 1 with a sacrifice room, killed all the enemies could not find any more. Cleared the second floor and went back to floor 1 ran around, stood still and watched doors zoomed out (4000 game duration on floor 1). No more enemies or door movement.
  This has been an occurring problem for me with Swarm Intelligence as you too often end up killing all of the enemies before finding the sacrifice room.
- In my experience, going to the next floor for a while and then returning often results in a couple of enemies having already spawned.

- Just because the Paladin works with weapons and armor doesn't mean they're meant to replace the Warrior. The Cleric and Warrior play completely differently, they're on opposite ends of the complexity spectrum. While I would like to make the Warrior a bit more enticing for experienced players, I'm never going to load him down with a bunch of active abilities.
