Hydration 2: Oasis

Had a private test with a few people today (Thanks Hachi, Overkill, Sal, Willy), tons of new feedback and stuff to improve upon. Probably the most important thing I learned was from Hachi's commentary that skills are basically useless. Up until now I had been trying to balance them as a regular component of battle but it just doesn't work with the hydration system. Simply put they need to either be overpowered as heck (but potentially screw you over with hydration usage) or nominally powered but with very low hydration costs. Trying to go between those two points is murder.

Besides that, the difficulty is still out of whack for the beginning of the game (hooray for being too good at your own game) and plenty of smooth user interface problems and general bugs.
