Item	Description

Version history

Version	Changes
0.2.0	The player's base attack speed while Unarmed is now 1.4 attacks per second (previously 1.2). Killing Palm, Shattering Palm, Staggering Palm and Hand of Chayula now have 25% less Attack Speed to compensate for this change (previously 10%). Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread. The mana cost for all Attacks, Marks and Warcries has been reduced, most notably at higher Gem levels. Hand of Chayula now specifies that it triggers socketed Marks. This is purely a description change.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
