• Weapon-based class detection (bow/crossbow → ARCHER, else → WARRIOR)

Visual Effects

• 20+ Attack AnimationSets in Dwarf_Game.json (Mace, Longsword, Battleaxe, Spear, Daggers, Bow)
• Particle Effects: Impact flash+sparks (0.5s), Stun stars (2s)
• Stun Visual Effect: Gold tint + orbiting star particles on head
• Sound Effects per ability slot

Equipment System

• OFFHAND Slot for shields and torches
• Two-handed weapon restriction (bows/crossbows/battleaxes block offhand)
• Auto-unequip offhand when equipping two-handed weapon
• Visual display via InventoryHelper.setOffHandItem() API

Combat AI

• Dual NPC Roles: Melee (close range) and Ranged (keeps distance)
• Automatic role swapping based on weapon type
• PetDefendOwnerSystem - Pet attacks mobs that damage owner
• Multi-target AOE for warrior abilities

Backend

• Talent System Foundation (CompanionTalents, TalentDefinition, TalentRegistry, TalentManager)
• Role Migration System - Forces manual respawn when NPC roles change
• Debug logs write to %APPDATA%\Hytale\UserData\Logs\

Technical Fixes

• Animation threading: Uses World.execute() for scheduled animations
• 5-param model AnimationSets (6-param item-based silently fails on NPCs)
• NPC role uses OffHandSlots: 1 (NOT UtilitySize - that field doesn't exist)
• Ability range check uses ability.getRange() + 1.0f
• Damage properly calculated from stats (removed testing overrides)
