+# Any changes you've made.  See valid prefix list above.
+# INDENT WITH TWO SPACES.  NOT TABS.  SPACES.
+# SCREW THIS UP AND IT WON'T WORK.
+# Also, all entries are changed into a single [] after a master changelog generation. Just remove the brackets when you add new entries.
+# Please surround your changes in  double quotes ("), as certain characters otherwise screws up compiling. The quotes will not show up in the changelog.
+changes:
+  - balance: "Rounds out Revenant damage resistances to 25% reduction to brute or burn. Removes the evasion mechanic vs. lasers."
+  - tweak: "Revenants can now be totally understood by Tau Ceti speakers. Revenants also now have different contextual speaking verbage! This aims to make them seem more ghostly instead of disgusting."
+  - rscdel: "Removes the sound effect howl when Revenants speak. It was just annoying."
