Greetings!
The next update for the Balance Mod is finally available. I'm didn't really get a chance to play test the mod over the last few weeks, so hopefully the more recent changes are working well. I'm sure you guys will let me know if we need a few adjustments. That's why I put an v1.19i for early October. :P
