October 28, 1999
Class Enhancements
Warrior - % increase on critical hits
Rogue - +8 poison resistance
Paladin - +8 disease resistance
Ranger - +4 Fire +4 Cold resistance
ShadowKnight - +4 Poison +4 Disease resistance
Monk - +8 Fire resistance

On the green beta my half elf ranger currently has 29 sv Fire/Cold, which suggests to me I am getting +4.
