CHANGE LOG

2.152 to 2.153 (1/20/09)
________________
Major Additions:
The Retribution Paladin!
Yes, he was already in the game, but he's been given a major overhaul on his skill set to transform
him from the tankadin healbot he was, into a more offensive retribution type pally.
Holy Fire - Heals a friendly unit for X amount of damage (no longer the paladin himself) or deals
Y amount of damage to an enemy unit, and burns them for Y damage over a short period.
Seal of Justice - Places a holy seal on the target unit, healing friendly units for X amount over time,
or damaging enemy units for Y amount over time.
Retribution Aura - Enemy attacks take X amount of damage.
Beacon of Hope - Heals all friendly units in the area for X amount and buffs them with inner fire.
Damages all enemy units for Y amount and lowers their attack power for a duration.

It would also be good to note that the comunity paladins that spawn when there have been no palyer chosen
remain unchanged, and their names have been changed to "Protection Paladin", representing their self
heals and devotion aura.

Heroes:
