Main code of AR is done, now the descriptions are sent to proofreader for heavy revision.
An helping proofreader (or more) should be able to speed up the process (and release date).

Forgot to add changelog:
-Rewritten most of tp2 for faster execution and shorter size.
-Fixed minor typ0es.
-Prompt customization!
-Trueclass thieves now correctly "forget" thief innates upon dualling to Fighter or Cleric.
-Added Armor Revisions, missing only the proofreaded item description.
-SFX-RAR will auto-update and re-launch!
-Good celestials won't cast Globe of Blades since they could hurt you. Evil celestials, on the other side, aren't so picky, and will cast Globe of Blades and risk hurting you.

The Revised Armors & Shield component is "technically ready".
Of course we have still to double check things, refine a few items, maybe change something upon closer evalution.
Anyway, all armors and shields (and this includes A LOT of mod-originated ones) will have a standardized format (an example follows).
First the regular STATISTICS, which include all the modifiers regularly involved with an armor (these are "physical" properties, even though magic and quality can improve them), then any SPECIAL EFFECT. So, for instance, a Hide in Shadows *bonus* would fall under the latter category (since normally armors give a penalty, or nothing at best, to hide in shadows).
No, we didn't ask permission to the various authors for changing descriptions (unless the_bigg did it silently...), but really, it'd be a bit tiring to trace them all, and we just changed the format to include a more generic version of the statistics.
The actually applied changes bring the items to a level of "conformity" with the new system - any other specific property remaining with an "incremental logic".
Hope it makes sense.
Anyway, here's the aforementioned example:
The light but durable scales of the Blue Dragon provide excellent protection against weapons and all forms of electricity.
STATISTICS:
Resistance to slashing damage: +35%
Resistance to piercing damage: +20%
Resistance to blunt damage: +10%
Resistance to missile damage: +40%
DEX: -4
Movement: -20%
Spell failure: +45%
Pick Pockets: -90%
Lock Picking: -60%
Find/Remove Traps: -65%
Move Silently: -95%
Hide in Shadows: -90%
Armor Class: -1
Weight: 20
Requires: 15 Strength
SPECIAL EFFECTS:
+90% resistance to all lightning and electrical attacks
Not Usable By:
Bard
Druid
Mage
Thief
Archer
Stalker
Barbarian
Beast Master
Kensai
Monk
All in all, we should be able to release V3 quite soon
