- Add instant help message
- Prevent from ending town combat if one member is in a forcecage or if everyone's in a different forcecage (you can still end it if everyone's in the same cage)
- If entering town combat while caged, everyone remains in the cage
- Penalties to melee combat if the target or attacker is in a forcecage (higher penalties if the attacker is caged, unless they're using a pole weapon)
- Instead of placing a forcecage at every location where someone gains forcecage status, the game now syncs forcecages (placing them on locations where someone has forcecage status) at the end of the move.
- The Flash Step and Word of Recall spells and any specials that move the party also clear their forcecage status, so that a new forcecage won't appear on their new location. If they're moved into a forcecage, the syncing process will give them the status at the end of the move.
- Forcecage status now supported for the Occasional Status item ability
- Forcecages now eventually expire on their own even if you can't break out. Unoccupied ones also have a slight (0.1%) chance each turn to expire.
- Affect Status node now allows forcecage status. (It also works as documented, using Extra 1c rather than 2a as the status type.)
- Preset monsters placed in preset force cages gain the status at town initialization; it's a lot more than they'd gain through the syncing process, so unless they break free, it'll last a very long time.
- Monsters/PCs with spells (and PCs with Mage Lore) now have an increased chance of resisting entrapment in a forcecage
- If the full party is subject to a forcecage, the PC with the best chance of breaking free (assuming they don't resist) is chosen to determine whether they resist. Note that this may not be the PC with the best chance of resisting in the first place.
- Protection from Forcecage now implemented as an item ability
Other stuff (though related):
- Reset party's combat pos to the null location (-1,-1) after a cutscene ends; to not do so would mess up get_loc() calls

- Alter experience level and morale (the latter currently only works on monsters while the former might have strange results on PCs)
- Alter the contents of the player's soul crystal
- Forced Give node now has an option to force-equip the item
- place_monster no longer places a monster if one is already there, except when special node forces it
- targeting node no longer moves to jumpto if an error occurs
- fix targeting and pattern nodes not appearing in the editor
- The job board is loosely based on Exile III's job board; the dialog is converted from the one contained as a relic of E3 in BoE
