For everyone's awareness, we are planning the introduction of some balance-based changes which have the potential to impact existing character builds.

The short version is that Evasion and Improved Evasion will no longer work while wearing medium armor or heavy armor. It will only work in no armor or light armor.

To compensate, Fighter/Master-at-Arms/Barbarian/Paladin classes will receive a feat at level 8 that grants the following benefits:
- Wearing heavy armor will convey 20% elemental resistance
- Medium armor will grant 15% elemental resistance

If this content is introduced this month or early next month, we are thinking of implementing a one-month 100% RCR period -- likely from August 1st to August 31st.

Right now the details are still being discussed, and there's not yet a hard timetable; but I wanted to make a note of this to make everyone aware of the fact that there could be a 100% RCR period coming up soon.

Thank you!

That should clear it up!

The ingame description shows:

Which one is correct ?

And does it stack with racial/class energy and item energy immunities ?

Racial class energy immunities work like a DR.

This is not DR but instead damage resistance and yes it stacks with other % energy immunities as far as I know as do all % immunities on NWN2 as a game.

The feat description is incorrect sorry, I'll have to update it. Immunity % do stack indeed.

The in-game description is wrong.

The Armored Efficiency feat provides 15% energy immunity while wearing medium armor and 20% energy immunity when wearing heavy armors. This applies to all elemental energy types (sonic, fire, cold, acid, electricity). No extra immunity is gained from holding a shield. This will stack with all other energy immunity on gear.

Evasion can now only be used while in light armor or no armor.

No. All Fighters/MaA/Barbarian/Paladins will receive this feat at level 8 whether they have Evasion or not. The two cannot work in tandem as Evasion will only function in light or no armor, while Armored Efficiency will only function in Medium or Heavy armor.

By the way, I'm currently changing my mithril chainmail (therefore light armor) in-game using the dialogue-based appearance changer (the "new" one), and every time I click next, I get a yelloe message saying my character has gained a new feat: evasion. Should I be worried?

Nah, nothing to worry about, sounds like we just didn't suppress the text spam every time the feat is granted.

It is live, though from what I've been told the NPC's dialogue wasn't updated to reflect it. Despite that you should still receive 100% of your experience currently when withdrawing it from the bank.

When you click the final confirmation for withdrawing the xp it says something like (100% xp August Sale) or something similar.

The text leading up doesn't tell you though.
If the text is this color, I am on duty, everything else is just my humble opinion.
