It's a welcome change that you progressively add new elements as the levels go, instead of using the first handful of levels to introduce everything and then everything else is a variation on those.
I think you have your (C) and (R) backwards. I'm assuming they're 'class' and 'race', but you have Warrior (etc.) tagged with (R) and Dwarf (etc.) with (C). Could be misreading it though.
Thanks for your feedback, you are correct. Generally, it doesn't is an issue for the gameplay itself but has to be corrected. Will be changed with the next update!
I'd really like the ability to rename gear when smithing, so that I can keep better track of why I have certain items and when I want to be wearing them.
Your pet stops leveling because (as is indicated in the new Help section) it can't be more than five levels higher than you. So when you Rebirth, it won't level until you get within five levels of its current level. This is, presumably, to keep you from Rebirthing with an unstoppable superweapon that slaughters everything while you just stand there.
okay....give me a day to add it...
