ASTER "INTELLIGENCE"

- Aster gets excited when lasthitting enemies with her Magic Spear, be careful!!

- Aster uses Meditation when Excitement >> Focus or when on low Focus, Meditation lowers Excitement

- Aster uses Heal when Hero's HP is low, restores up to 30 HP

PLEASURE CALCULATION OVERHAUL

- hard to explain, needs feedback and testing

CHANGELOG 1.4b -> 1.4c (2025-07-13)

CHANGES:

- Bought underwear items now appear in Aster’s "State" inventory tab. They can't be sold - this is likely for future mechanics 🤭

- Aster should no longer attempt to meditate at relatively high FP values (Condition changed from FP2 < EP to FP4 < EP)

- Faster screen blackout when changing rooms. This blackout no longer affects Aster's viewport

- Buffed Mace heavy attack

- Aster’s current FP and EP are now shown on the Status Screen

- Resistance regeneration between Delves is now slower

FIXES:

- (Hopefully) fixed negative FP/EP after leaving Delve with the "Focus" status effect active on Aster

- (Hopefully) fixed incorrect FP/EP values shown at the start of Delve

- Fixed treasure rooms and loot gathered by Aster or Mentor giving nothing - or worse, <null> x<null>!

- Fixed crash caused by clicking "Peek" repeatedly or right-clicking during peeking

- Fixed TJ Lv.2 action using the wrong animation for Mentor

- Fixed items being sold for 100 (50 with 50% penalty) instead of their proper prices after a successful Delve (50% penalty is still there, just with proper prices now)

- Fixed Guard skill applying buffs even when stamina was insufficient
