Changes to the module
-
v3660:
Thunderholme is now open for travel! It will take some time for actual facilities to be available for use, but players may freely come and go now.
-
The alteration "spirit projection" also known as "astral projection" has has some changes to how it works.
Specifics aren't available for number crunchers to chew on right now, but here are the basics:
This alteration was intended to be used as a way to scout ahead for mages, when no scout was available.
It was instead used as a vastly superior form of scrying , instead of actually scrying.
This was very hard to balance two entirely different mechanics around and so, the spirit projection spell has been altered to fit it's intended roll more closely.
Using your projection to go into areas with npcs in them, is no problem, and it will work how it always has.
Trying to project near player characters now has a save involved, even without a ward (though wards greatly increase the difficulty of the save to retain the projection, and allow warded characters to pull your name from your mind if the save is critically failed)
This save will be rolled every 6 seconds, and each time, become slightly more difficult to pass.
The result is the spell can be used for scouting on quests and dm events, or exploration, but is too weak to get much more than ten to thirty seconds of "spying" done.
Scrying is now VASTLY superior to spirit projection for the purposes of spying.
This makes it a lot easier to make any future alterations to scrying to balance it, and make it useful for roleplay, and not an I win button.
Thanks.

The messages fighters receive(Be it failure to meet criteria or cooldown messages) will no longer spam their entire party and only they will see it.
-
Additionally as part of a quality of life thing, I have added additional messages to the Combat stances telling you when its Activated, De-Activated and when the cooldown is over and you can reuse the ability(If there is a cooldown). If you see any issues with it - Post bug reports.

Changes to True Strike Consumables:
-
Due to a decision made by the DM Team, we have decided for the sake of balance to make the following changes to True Strike Consumables:
-
As of this version all True Strike Consumables are removed from Stores throughout the server(Be it Potions, Lucky Rabbit Foots, etc). If you find any more of these you must report them and where you bought them from(If bought from NPCs).
-
True Strike Consumables can only be obtained now either from Quest Loot(DM/Scripted ones) or through crafting such as Brewing, etc.
-
The Price for brewing True Strike Potions was raised as a result.
-
The script for True Strike was also fixed and now ALL items will give +10AB(And not just Potions). Only way to get +20AB would be from the actual spell cast by a Mage.

Changes default Element if the Caster is a Cleric and they have one of the following Domains:
Ooze/Cavern/Earth = Acid
Air/Storm = Electrical
Water = Cold
** If the Caster has the First Domain as Air and the second one as Water - The First Domain will dictate the alteration of the default element.Basically:
If your domains are Ooze/Cavern/Earth, your darkfire will default to ACID
If your domains are Air/Storm your darkfire will default to ELECTRIC
If your domain is Water, your darkfire will default to COLD.
The first domain you select will determine the element it changes to. So if you take STORM and WATER domain, STORM domain supercedes water, and will do ELECTRIC damage. If you took WATER then STORM it will do COLD.Additionally, if a DM deems it appropriate/if you app, we can change your mages/clerics default darkfire/flame weapon casting to any damage type found in the game.

V3732
Two new NPCs added to the Spire and Shylocks called "Provider"
These NPCs are to be used by DMs by storing an items in a persistent chest which can then later be picked up by players by a codeword provided to them. This should help with issues of DMs needing to give items to players when they're not on at the same time as well as setting up stuff for future DMless plots.
This is not intended for player use as of this time, so please don't ask to use it. You have PCs who you can talk to in order to pass on items on your behalf.
