Introduced stun mechanic – enemy is unable to perform any action
Introduced interrupt mechanic – channeled abilities of enemies can be interrupted
Player attacks can be customized with a „Knock Back Force” parameter. If set above 0, the attack will push the enemy backward up to 3 meters. Should the enemy collide with an obstacle during the knockback, they will be stunned for 2 seconds
Encounters can now be generated dynamically using CombatRating property
AI
Created Channeled Ability Node

Enemies
Gnoll Shaman:
Created base attack cast animation
Created looped animation for channeled attack
Acid Rain is now casted as Channeled Ability and can be interrupted with knockback
Talents
Burn Effect:
Burn damage is now scaled with Ability Power
Obsidian Scales:
Revamped the damage storage system for Obsidian Scales. Damage is now organized into buckets, with each bucket corresponding to an Interval Tick. Each bucket’s damage is distributed individually over its Duration. Previously, all damage was combined into a single bucket, which reset its duration with every hit, resulting in large, uncontrollable damage spikes compared to direct hits.
Tectonic Pressure:
Ability updated to align with the changes to Obsidian Scales. While the core functionality remains the same—clearing 50% of the damage stored—it now prioritizes clearing buckets with the least remaining duration, up to the total damage cleared, rather than simply halving the stored damage
