Return of Reckoning

Since this is an old game it is following some rather unforgiving design principles. Probably not always by intention, but as a sign of the times back when it was released. What I mean by "unforgiving" is that it very easy to make harsh mistakes without any way of undoing the mistakes. For example ...

Thanks a lot for the calculations for 2h wp! I was hoping someone with big brains would do those.

I have to say I am coming around to the dps wp aoe build. I have been testing it this afternoon and it is actually pretty good. So, well done devs.
