Third update for the Prerelease is live!

This one took a little longer because I took a personal vacation for a few days. But there's a new boss here to play around with!

Changes
  • Changed effects that reflect and redirect damage to another character. The damage type that gets reflected/redirected is now based on the original damage type and not unique Reflection/Redirection damage types. This allows for things such as reflecting Basic Attack Damage, which will be interesting to see how it interacts with these effects

Known Issues
  • The Combat Log sometime doesn't display the proper name of the character when a turn is taken
  • Enemies that equip party-wide bonuses don't work properly since any enemy that spawns after does not get the bonus
  • There seems to be a post-combat issue involving changing the character that's comparing the items to and then opening the inventory and changing what character you're looking at. I don't have much information because the issue only happened once and I couldn't recreate the problem. I took some steps to try to fix what it could've been, but the issue might still exist
