Personally, I do like the idea of the referenced area or another nearby option available for a moment's rest to prepare for and encourage the engaging with the various quests.

You can change this by editing nw_s0_evardsa and nw_s0_evardsc.

As it is now:

nw_s0_evardsa 122 | eDam = EffectDamage(nDieDam, DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING, DAMAGE_POWER_PLUS_TWO); nw_s0_evardsc 122 | eDam = EffectDamage(nDieDam, DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING, DAMAGE_POWER_PLUS_TWO);

For +1 instead:

nw_s0_evardsa 122 | eDam = EffectDamage(nDieDam, DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING, DAMAGE_POWER_PLUS_ONE); nw_s0_evardsc 122 | eDam = EffectDamage(nDieDam, DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING, DAMAGE_POWER_PLUS_ONE);

The grapple logic preceeds the paralysis check. Grapple determines how many of the tentacles aimed at the target succeed. Since it compares

nTentacleGrappleCheck = d20() + nCasterLevel + 8; vs nOpposedGrappleCheck = d20() + nOppossedGrappleCheckModifiers;

where

nOppossedGrappleCheckModifiers = GetBaseAttackBonus(oTarget) + GetAbilityModifier(ABILITY_STRENGTH, oTarget); (and +4, or +8 if large or huge)

i.e. if a level 10 wizard casts evards vs a level 10 human fighter, up to seven tentacles will try to grapple the target with an opposed check of d20 + 18 vs d20 + 14 or so highly likely 4-6 tentacles will hit the target per round. If a target is hit in a round, it rolls fort against paralysis (duration of paralysis is one round)

@TheMinionOfArabel 600 makes sense to me. Each of these potions individually cost about 120 gold in the historic district. A nice even 1:1 (pp:gp) for potions that are pretty easily dispelled.

I have tested the updated and moved quest.

Did it in two with Poppy yesterday. It was a change to the better for sure, two things that make it less fun now: no big clustered spawn(s) anymore to enjoy an AoE on, and the big backspawn scare does not have a substitute.

Also, the second spiked barricade in that winding corridor after the tight spot passage does not have any monsters/spawn behind it so it feels somewhat redundant.

Standard necro store will be available as of next reset.

There were a few issues with these guys, so I made these adjustments while I was in there fixing the rest.

@Mr-Moloch Ran the entire wailing slopes (server version 8840) there was 1 birch tree and no other plant/resource spawns in the rest of the zone/area. Not sure if Ice Lotus was planned for adding back in, but it would make sense in there as well.

I'm extremely dubious that we should make the hands down best second level spell better. Doing this would almost certainly come with a major nerf to the spell, limiting its bonus to no more than +2 to one stat of your choice.

@Erebus As this was the most specific explanation of what to fix, and how to fix it ever - I put it in right away 8826v

Or provide a higher amount of healing over an even greater amount of time. Not for a total of 50 HP, but a multitude of that.

It's a level V spell. It should be highly impactful.

Setting this up is actually on my list, but my list is long without more help. :)

@V-Rage DC varies by difficulty of the quest

@Mr-Moloch Invisibility is back to 1 Turn / level.

@Mr-Moloch 8725 fixed

@TheMinionOfArabel Fixed 8725
