v1.97: Berseker, Dancer, Chemist Deluxe

1. Berserker actions in battle improved by RoSoDude; also affects battle speed penalties for Berserked, Confused, and Zombie'd characters. Key changes, as explained by the author:

   • “This patch aligns berserk ATB with normal ATB, such that the Berserker can gain first turn initiative in battle if they are built to overcome their Agility penalty, and they do not suddenly attack when revived or unpetrified. Berserk characters are properly hindered by slow, as are zombified or confused characters. Berserk characters reveal their turn progression in the ATB gauge display, while characters under the zombie and confuse status still have their true ATB hidden.”

2. Improvement to Dancer's Sword Dance, it triggers more often if the

   • ManEater
   • Rainbow Clothes
   • Ribbon
   • Red Shoes

   are equipped: all four of these stack to fully max out the odds of Sword Dance in battle

3. Improvement to Chemist's Remedy !Mix, it now removes Petrify

4. Re-equipping items in battle is better

5. !Flee will be disabled if the party can't run from the battle

6. Character name changes to yellow when HP is critical

(2 thru 6 are all Inu patches that were finally added, some at the recommendation of Gens.)

1. Finally learned (thanks RoSoDude) that the “Kiss of Blessings” bugfix from many versions and months ago was NOT working as intended. Now it is! These monsters are now immune to the Mix recipe “Kiss of Blessings” (i.e., can no longer be cheesed for an easy win):
