Midnight Code Push

The Ascended
A downloadable project

For real, don't push code skipping your dev branch at midnight at your real job...it's bad mmmkay.

Updated the Abilities system. This is a big one. I have updated ability schema from a markdown base to a json base to avoid having to write code to interpret the json. Abilities now get loaded into the database with every field being explicit. This allowed me to redo ability cards to display in a more pleasant format with all relevant data.

Purchasing abilities now sorts ability cards by XP cost lowest to highest.

Also purchasing passive abilities will automatically update your character with the ability's effect provided the effect does not add a modifier to a roll.

This updated also affected how the character sheet is built. It now has sections for MaxHP, Movement, Initiative, and Evasion. Purchasing levels in abilities will automatically update these fields. Purchasing the Evasion skill and upgrading it over Novice will automatically update the Evasion field for quick reference purposes. Also, purchasing abilities that give a passive modifier to Evasion will update on the character sheet.
