I added the Stone of Aegis (It is part of the altar in the real game) to his inventory, which by touching when a certain level (It is usually 30, but since this is word count based, maybe level 5 or 10? That permanently augments his health and skills. Also, I have a question. How will we handle the crossbow? In the game, it has no reload time, and ammo is infinite. You can use it as long as you hold down the left click on the mouse. I'm assuming that's not how it works in this game.
