882J Build Updates.



  • 882j Build Update. This is currently a test build only. Reversion may occur without notice.

    New Content.
    Isaac's Lesser/Greater Missile Storm - Changed the targeting
    algorithms so that no one target may ever receive more missiles than a
    "magic missile" spell of the same caster level can deliver. Also,
    leftover missiles are distributed one per remaining target until it
    runs out of targets (again, keeping the max in mind). This is
    different from the previous version where the first target would get
    all of the leftovers.

    Innocent Mary has returned from abroad.

    Updates
    Entire Wild magic system moved to spellhook system. Net IG Result should be 0, Net Dev result, amazing.

    Spell Changes.
    Protection from Alignment Spells (including Magic Circle and Aura) -
    changed to protect against charm and dominate from ANY alignment and
    to protect against confusion from the CHOSEN alignment.

    Resist Elements - Duration changed to 24 hours.

    Heal - Will now heal only 10 damage per cast level, maximum of 150 (at
    CL15) but will remove the following status effect: ability damage,
    poison, disease, blindness, stunned, confusion, deaf, and dazed.

    Mass heal - as Heal, but with a maximum cap of 250.

    Harm - will inflict 10 points of negative energy damage per level,
    maximum of 150 (at CL15).

    Magic Weapon - Increased in duration to 2 Turns/level. Valid targets
    now include: melee weapons, ranged weapons, ammunition, and gauntlets.

    Greater Magic Weapon - Valid targets now include: melee weapons,
    ranged weapons, ammunition, and gauntlets.

    Keen Edge - Changed to include piercing weapons.

    Greater Restoration - Removed full healing effect. Added spell
    component of "Tiny Diamond Powder." Greater restoration will now
    remove the petrification effect.

    Summon Monster- Duration changes as follows: Summon I & II - 1 Hour +
    Turn/level; Summon III & IV - Turn/2 Levels; Summon V+ - Round/Level.
    Please note that animal domain effectively functions as +1 caster
    level, however, the duration SCHEME will be equivalent to the NEW
    spell level. That being said, if you cast a summon IV spell, it will
    summon from the summon V list, but also give you the round/level
    duration.

    Call Lightning - Spell now self-targets, and has been given a duration
    (and is now extend-able). Spell may ALSO BE USED INDOORS. The spell
    will call down two lightning bolts per round for the duration of the
    spell. It will target the two hostile targets nearest the caster.
    Damage will be as follows: 3dX + dX/3 Levels with reflex save for
    half. This means that a level 5 caster will do 4dX damage per bolt, a
    level 6 caster will do 5dX, a level 9 caster will do 6dX, etc. The X
    in the above damage listings is as follows…. 3 indoors, 6 outdoors,
    and 10 outdoors during a storm.

    CREATURE AURA CHANGES:

    Along with the changes made to protection vs. alignment (etc.), the
    following aura changes have been made.

    Aura of Fear - PCs will now only make ONE save. (DMs please note -
    this is supposed to be 24 hours, but no spawn ever lasts this long. To
    avoid overhead, any 24 hour duration timer was left out. This is the
    case every time we list "one save.") Note this ONLY applies to PCs.

    Howl, Fear - as Aura.
    Gaze, Fear - as Aura.

    Dragon Fear Aura - PCs will now only make ONE save. Treated as per
    Frightful Presence (dragons are do not magically produce fear).
    Creatures under 5HD will be panicked as per usual. Any spawn 5HD or
    greater will be "shaken" (basically a doom effect, -2 to attacks,
    damage, skills, saves).

    Unearthly Visage (Death Aura) - PCs will now only make ONE save.

    Aura of Menace (Doom Aura) - PCs will now only make ONE save.

    Aura of Blindness and Aura of Stunning - now have a 6 second timer on
    saves... this means running away "at the edge" will only force one
    save per round rather than a billion.

    Coppers now has a meeting room again.

    Fixed Bugs.
    Healkits now fire on exact DC's, not greater than DC's.
    Medicine Bags expire on use. Please dispose of old ones after one use. Anyone caught abusing this will be punished.
    Oscura AI changes in attempt to reduce lag from the commoners. Net visible result IG should be 0.
    Somewhat fix to permanent silence effects on target resulting from logging with silence still on.

    Removed.
    Many old spell scripts, if a spell changes and isn't documented above, please report.
