* Fixed a bug with skills that convert damage from one type to another, such as [[Stone Striker]] and [[Greater Conflagration]]. The converted damage was working incorrectly with armor bonuses and penalties.
* Fixed a bug that allowed characters to occasionally [[Shadow Step]] while carrying a flag.
