   Wizardry Proving Grounds v3.0 Released!   
      
   Hello everyone!   
      
   More than forty years after the last public release of Wizardry Proving   
   Grounds of the Mad Overlord for the Apple II platform, Wizardry Proving   
   Grounds v3.0 is released!   
       
   More than 100 database and code fixes, and enhancements, have been done in   
   Wizardry Proving Grounds v3.0.   
      
   Here are a few of the game play enhancements:   
      
   Combat		- Display hit probabilities.   
   Combat		- Display spells cast by both monsters and players.   
   Combat		- No more spell casting during the surprise round for both monsters   
   and players.   
   Combat		- Monsters drain your character only once per combat.   
   Castle		- Removed password prompts.   
   Spells		- Haman and Mahaman now have 7 effects, see spells lists below. This   
   is a bug fix.   
   Spells		- Latumapic now works.   
   Spells		- Loktofeit now has a similar success chance as in Wizardry III (65 +   
   character level %).   
   Spells		- Manifo now works with similar success as Katino.   
   Inventory	- No more micro-managing inventory to make space for treasure drops.   
   Ninja		- The requirements to change class to ninja are now 15 in all   
   attributes instead of 17.   
   Ninja		- Unarmed combat enhancements:   
   			- Base bare hands damage increased from 2d4 to 2d8.   
   			- Unarmed Armor Class improved from 1 point every 3 levels, to 1 point   
   every level.   
   			- Unarmed Combat Initiative Bonus of 1 point (10%) for every 3 levels.   
   Maze		- Easter egg and specials encounters re-enabled.   
      
   You can play using an Apple II emulator or a real Apple II computer.   
      
   All that you need to know to start playing is in the Wizardry Proving Grounds   
   v3.0 Additional Players Guide included in this package which also includes   
   original and ProDOS (a spectacular achievement by qkumba) disk images as well   
   as all the details of    
   the fixes and enhancement.
