Build 902a



  • Combat XP Soft Cap

    A soft cap is now in place. Over the course of 24 hours, PCs will receive a percentage of their usual XP depending on their accumulated amount of combat XP in that period. This soft cap will NOT apply to PCs levels 5 and below.

    Firstly, the 50% general combat XP penalty installed in January 2010 will be removed. This means that initially, all XP gains are doubled.

    Please refer to the following for XP percentages - amounts are in 1e.

    0-1499 at 100%
    1500-2999 at 75%
    3000-4499 at 50%
    4500-5999 at 25%
    6000-7499 at 15%
    7500+ at 5%

    Please note, that it IS some 1e amounts may be reduced to the point where no 3e xp will be granted. This will mostly affect players on the top end of the level spectrum.

    You may view your current combat XP percentage rate and time until soft cap reset by using the "!xp" command.

    Keep in mind this is a trial run and all levels of the soft cap are SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

    Other Changes

    • CR reductions in most top rung spawns.
    • Ride skill check for AC bonus will now work on base ranks rather than current skill (much like tumble).
    • Language translation issues for DM-possessed NPCs should be fixed.
    • Glabrezu spawn has been de-hasted, but has been given other increases to compensate for the loss (though they will still be significantly less difficult).
