      Version 8587:

      As of this version Familiars will be more in-line with Animal Companions, meaning:

      Familiar Summoning Cooldown:
      You will not be able to summon your familiar as soon as you unsummon it and will wait until a cooldown period has ran out. Any time you will try to summon your familiar within this cooldown, you will receive an error message as well as spell failure visual effect.

      212ef9b5-e553-407d-a11b-43ad21a708bf-image.png

      Once the cooldown is over you will receive a message that you can summon your familiar again.

      Familiar Lives Matter:
      You can no longer let your familiar soak damage and then unsummon it and resummon it back at full health. Like Animal Companions the damage it suffered will be remembered and applied when resummoned.

      6424e188-2d37-449b-baa1-9032482e0571-image.png

      This will be factored in until your familiar is healed or after rest/reset.

      Reasoning:
      For the sake of transparency I am also including here the reason why we did this.

      Originally in vanilla NWN, you can only summon your familiar once per rest. This made them rather useless in CoA. To make them more useful we allowed you to summon them as long as they are not killed.

      As a result mages were able to have an infinite amount of familiars to use, which was too good to be true.

                      Version 8600:

                      (1) Player Portrait Pack Update:

                      Added 76 new portraits to our player portrait pack:

                      • Dwarves: 9 Female ; 11 Male
                      • Elves: 10 Female ; 11 Male
                      • Halflings: 10 Female ; 11 Male
                      • Human: 4 Female ; 10 Male

                      Many thanks to both @cpt_elrad_2nd and @SirWill360 , who contributed!

                      (2) Identify Spell Dead - Long live Lore:

                      We have changed the Identify spell to now be called Lore and allow you, much like Protection from Alignment, to choose what knowledge skill to boost.

                      e279f57b-ea25-42ec-bc36-ae5c2cd964ec-image.png

                      In the case of Arcana/Nature/Religion, which require training - The spells will only boost your stats if you invested at least one point into them.

                      Many thanks to the amazing @TheMinionOfArabel for her artwork.

                              Version 8612:

                              Changelog:

                              Bug Fixes:

                              • Fixed a bug that allowed certain subraces to gain too-good-to-be-true amounts of XP once they reaches level 10. Thank you @TheMinionOfArabel for reporting it

                              Blur/Barkskin/Shield in Prestige Stores:

                              The three potion packs were re-added back to prestige stores in a reduced amount than before and are more expensive, to ensure that the option exists to spend PP on these potions but crafting/trading will be more readily available for those willing to spend GP.

                              For quality of life I also made sure each potion pack has a different appearance.

                              9f04db2b-7902-48cd-a518-1645baf5a2d3-image.png

                              Sendings:

                              Sendings will now be broadcast to both the #general and #sending-room channels. The latter will only have sendings in it and no other chatter to make browsing through sendings much easier.

                              Player Maps and Merchant Stalls:

                              Maps created by players can now be sold in Merchant Stalls. The fix should apply to both newly created maps and existing ones.

                              Asset Changes:

                              • Added 50 new desert placeables per builders request

                              • Added 24 new portraits for players to use:

                                • 1x Dwarf Male
                                • 1x Elf Male
                                • 4x Human Female
                                • 18x Human Male

                              New Feats Support:

                              Began infra work to prepare for addition of new feats. More on it upon release!

                              Trinity System Related Changes - Nodes:

                              Began laying foundations of mirroring the "Wild" aspect of Flora and introducing it into our Nodes subsystem as well. This will be used later by builders to have these unbound nodes spawn in quest areas randomly.

                                      Spell Changes

                                      Aura of Shadows Modified:

                                      Spell will now do as follows:

                                      +1d4 cold damage and 10% cold immunity, for 5 rounds/level
                                      SF Necromancy: +1d4 negative damage and 15% negative immunity, for 1turn/level
                                      GSF Necromancy: +1d6 negative damage and 20% negative immunity, for 2turns/level 
                                      

                                      Impede Modified:

                                      Spell will now do as follows:

                                      Default: Target must make a Will save or be slowed for 1 round/2 levels
                                      GSF Enchantment: Target must make a Will save or be immobilized for 1 round/2 levels;  if save successful target makes a Fort save or be slowed for same duration
                                      

                                      Shield and Mage Armor Modified:

                                      Corrected an oversight that allowed players to enjoy SF and GSF feat bonuses when the spell was cast from items. Should no longer be possible.

                                      **If you come across more such cases please report them
