Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Posted: **Tue May 18, 2021 7:06 am**

With the split update (very soon), these two zones will be getting slight changes to their vendors.

FAI vendor is reverting to a 1400 buy price. I don't expect this to return FAI to being a prominent hub due to the changes to the loot system, but maybe it'll help spread things out a bit.

Soubar 1400 vendor is changing from the 'Wares' vendor to the 'Goods' vendor. You will no longer need to identify at one vendor and then sell at another to get the best prices. This also prevents clogging the Wares vendor with trash, as that vendor sells decent gear.

Hello!

These feats were recently discovered by Valefort in the game files. They were part of vanilla, but the 2da table was messed up so they never appeared.

Cosmopolitan feats allow the unlocking of non-class skills as class skills by taking a feat. For example, a fighter could take Cosmopolitan (lore: arcana) and have access to Arcana as a class skill.

Currently, only non-mechanically-significant skills are available for Cosmopolitan. Heal, Hide, MS, Spot, Listen, Spellcraft, Taunt, Tumble, and UMD are not available at this time. There is some consideration for opening these as well at a later date since they will still require a feat to take, plus the skill points needed to invest in them (though UMD will likely never be allowed).

These feats will come in with the next patch.

Edit: Some local testing has shown that Obsidian did not, in fact, finish coding them. Because this is a good idea, though, I'm going to see if it's possible to code our own solution. This means it may take time before these go in, if they are able to at all.

Edit 2: Crisis averted, Matelener noticed another area that needed to be changed to get the feats to work. This is back on schedule for next patch.

Edit 3: These will be under the name 'Extra Skill' when they go live, instead of Cosmopolitan.

Upcoming monk of the long death changes:

Macabre experiments

Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisites: Monk of the Long Death 4
Specifics: The Monk's knowledge of death, injury and bodily anatomy allows him to enhance his natural armor (skin). He gains a +2 bonus at level 4, and another +2 at levels 8 and 10. This is an enhancement bonus and will not stack with other enhancement effects.

Use: Automatic

Death attack

Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisites: Monk of the Long Death 6
Specifics: At 6th level, the monk of the long death gains the ability to make a death attack. The target is paralyzed for three rounds if he fails a fortitude save DC 10 + (monk level)/2 + (assassin level)/2 + your intelligence modifier. Using this ability interrupts an ongoing attack flurry, to avoid this you have to use it at the end of your combat round, or sacrifice the remaining attacks in your flurry.
Use: Selected
Cooldown: 1 minute

- having MotD levels will properly remove G.Flurry and Adamantine Fists from any monk no matter what your leveling order is
- Death touch is now correctly based on monk's character (not class) level as per description. Once per day use is changed to 5 minute CD.

DISCLAIMER: You do not need to RCR your character for these changes to take effect.

The Rogue ability Hide in the Shadows will progress faster in the next patch. The new progression will use the following formula:

7-10: 2 seconds
11-13: 1 second
14-16: 0.5 seconds
17+: Instant

This change will be automatic and won't require RCRing.

Posted: **Mon Jul 05, 2021 11:15 pm**

Each of these is a fairly minor change so putting them in a combined thread.

1. Druids and Monks
Druids and monks are now permitted to multiclass freely again. The mechanical issues that the combination was banned for are no longer an issue due to other changes that have been made, so this combination is allowed again.

2. Blade/Deathsinger and Bard
Bard now qualifies for these two classes. Technically this is not a new change, but the original implementation was not complete so it didn't work. Now it should. Note that Blade/Deathsinger will not progress bard song, just bard spellcasting. This may change.

Hey, in the next update there's a new spell coming up for rangers. It's purpose is to narrow a bit the gap between rangers at the peak of their power and at the very bottom of it - fighting against non-FEs.

Divination
Level: Ranger 4,
Components: V, S, M,
Casting Time: 1 standard actions
Range: Long
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 round / level
Saving Throw: none
Spell Resistance: yes

By pointing your finger at an enemy of yours, you expose a weakness in its defense and you divinate knowledge how to capably hunt its kind. For the duration of the spell, the target's AC is lowered by 2. At the same time, if the target is not one of your Favored Enemies, you receive a damage bonus equal to 1 plus 1 per 5 caster levels against its racial type.

~~Next update, Tenser Transformation will no longer penalize the caster with Arcane Spell Failure as long as the caster has any wizard or sorcerer levels.~~

Consumables/UMD will be allowed but not spell-casting.

It will not work when polymorphed or shapechanged though.

Posted: **Sat Jul 10, 2021 8:13 am**

Next update, Heavy Armor Optimization and Greater Heavy Optimization feats will become more generalized. They will be renamed as Armor Optimization feats and they will benefit any armor (light/medium/heavy) as long as it's not made of mithral (they cannot be optimized any further!). For light armors, Armor Check Penalty can only be reduced to 0 (won't become positive).

No need to modify existing characters with these feats to be affected by this change.

The wiki has been fully updated to account for deity additions and domain updates from this project. Individual deity and spell pages will be updated eventually, but the main articles are all set now. Going forward, please use the wiki for domain information, rather than the Google Sheet.

https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Deity
https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Cleric_Domains

This will be the last update to this thread, as this project can now be considered finished.

Hello! As some already know, I'm working on a rework and expansion to cleric domains. I am looking to have it done before the next patch (split 1.2), so that clerics will be able to take advantage of it before the 100% RCR period ends.

With the rework, domains will no longer have empty spaces. Every domain will have at least one feature (some have multiple, but in most cases the secondary feats are just skill feats), and a full roster of spells from level 1 to 9. There will also be some new domains.

Finally, the favored weapons for Sune, Loviatar, Beshaba, and Nephthys will be changed to their canonical favored weapon of whips. Hoar and Lurue may get changed to their canon weapons of shortspears as well.

Here is the list of most likely domain additions:

[link removed]

Some disclaimers: Spells are mostly complete, some feats might have small changes.

Deity-Domain list should not be considered final as deliberation is still ongoing. List on left is more-or-less guaranteed and based mostly on canon domains, yellow list is likely additions but still need approval, red list is most likely cut for this update (but could be added in the future). Attempts are being made where possible to keep strong domains even with gods that don't have them canonically, but some gods will likely lose some domains where they can't be justified at all (so many random Luck domains). Other gods will gain domains.

Archfiend clerics are still up in the air.

UPDATE

Hidden: show

Next update, the long-awaited Shifter PRC is going to be opened. It's a 20 level PRC for druids, shamans, sorcerers and wizards that does not progress spellcasting. However, various forms have spell-like abilities on short cooldowns. The first release contains 10 special Shifter shapes which will be all available in case of a fully leveled Shifter. Some time in the future, another batch of shapes might be added but the limitation of 10 shapes will likely remain in place.

Class description is as follows:

Shifter

The shifter has no form that she calls her own. Instead, she clothes herself in whatever shape is most expedient at the time. While others base their identities largely on their external forms, the shifter actually comes closer to her true self through all her transformations. Of necessity, her sense of self is based not on her outward form, but on her soul, which is truly the only constant about her. It is the inner strength of that soul that enables her to take on any shape and remain herself within.

At first, the shifter can risk only humanoid forms and familiar animal shapes. As she grows more comfortable with her own true shapelessness, however, she can assume more outlandish forms. Eventually, she knows herself so well that she feels just as comfortable in the shape of a completely different creature type as she does in her own. At that point, her past - even her race - becomes irrelevant, since external form no longer matters to her.

The shifter's path is ideal for a spellcaster of any race who has experienced shapeshifting and yearns for more of it. Such a character can be a great force for either good or ill in the world; an evil shifter in particular poses a terrible threat, for she can appear anywhere, in any form. The same opponents may face her again and again, in one shape after another, never realizing that they actually face a single, formless enemy.

Requirements:

Race: Any

Alignment: Any

Feats: Alertness, Toughness

Spells: Able to cast 3th level spells as a druid, spirit shaman, wizard or sorcerer (only levels in base classes are accounted for and the character must have at least 13 or higher primary casting ability score without enhancement effects)

Class Features:

- Hit Die: d8

- Base Attack Bonus: High

- High Saves: Fortitiude, Reflex

- Weapon Proficiencies: A Shifter gains no weapon proficiencies.

- Armor Proficiencies: A Shifter gains no armor proficiencies.

- Skill Points: 4 + Int Modifier.

- Class Skills: Concentration, Diplomacy, Disguise, Heal, Hide, Knowledge(nature), Move Silently, Listen, Parry, Spot, Survival, Tumble

- Spells per Day/Spells Known: The Shifter does not progress spellcasting

- Special: If the character is a druid, Shifter levels progress wildshape uses per day. In addition to that, at Shifter level 15 character qualifies for Legendary Animal and Epic Elemental Wildshape. Lastly, at level 20, he qualifies for Dragonshape. Shifter levels stack with Druid levels to determine the power of Epic Wildshapes.

DISCLAIMER I:
Some bugs may still be present in this implementation. Please report and don't expect them to remain un-fixed, if they are beneficial.

DISCLAIMER II:
Underperforming shapes might be positively adjusted, should they really need it. However, not all shapes fullfil the same purpose/role, so don't expect them to be playable across the entire PvE! Shifters gotta be shifting.

DISCLAIMER III:
Sometime in the future, couple of models will get replaced by newer, prettier ones. In pixie's case, it's even a gender change.

DISCLAIMER IV:
Prettier, more detailed wiki-documentation will take time. If there is any volonteer to help with that, it would be very much appreciated.

DISCLAIMER V:
If you cannot find a small bar with shape's special abilities, look in the upper-left corner. Drag it to wherever you want it to be.

Posted: **Fri Jul 23, 2021 12:37 pm**

Next patch, characters will have a choice of regional history feats (from Player's Guide to Faerûn) in the list of available history feats. These will not replace existing history feats (wild child, survivor, etc), but will add on to them.

These regional feats will give an automatic language or two based on which region you pick, as well as providing some lore on the region and the kinds of gods that region favors.

Players will not have to RCR for these. I will be putting an NPC in the Nexus to allow players to select new history feats to take advantage of these without needing to RCR. This will only work one time per character, and will only allow selecting the new region feats, not the vanilla skill feats.

In addition, humans will be gaining a selection of subraces from Player's Guide to Faerûn. After the patch, the following selection will be available:

Human
-> Human
-> Calishite
-> Chondathan
-> Damaran
-> Deep Imaskari
-> Illuskan
-> Mulan
-> Rashemi
-> Tethyrian
-> Bedine
-> Ffolk
-> Gur
-> Shaaran
-> Turami
-> Ulutiun
-> Vaasan
-> Lantanna

Except for Deep Imaskari, which are already in the game, these subraces do not confer any different stats from normal humans. They exist to allow RP customization and to provide players with access to the lore for the various human ethnicities. For now, ethnicities other than these will be just included under the generic Human subrace, but in the future more may be added (or even for the coming patch, depending on how work goes).

Like regional feats, I will try to provide a method for changing subrace without needing to RCR. I am less sure that this will work, but script functions support that it is possible. This will only work for humans, and only allow changing to one of the new subraces (not Deep Imaskari).

I hope you all enjoy!

Next update, the epic feat line of Self-Concealment will have its requirements changed from:

Dexterity 27, Hide 30, Tumble 30, Improved Evasion

to:

Dexterity 25, Hide 30, Tumble 30

Posted: **Fri Jul 30, 2021 12:36 pm**

Next update, two improvements are coming to the Appearance Kit:

1) There will be additional dialogue options to fast-forward and rewind by 10 through armor variations / armor parts / weapon & shield models
2) Everytime you go through a variation, there will be a floating message with the number of the chosen variation, so you'll always know where you're at number-wise

It's not the perfect QoL but little something while we're waiting for a major overhaul.

Posted: **Sun Aug 01, 2021 4:14 am**

Master Earth (src: Spell Compendium)
Caster Level(s): Druid 7
Innate Level: 7
School: Transmutation
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic, Material
Range: Self
Area of Effect / Target: Personal
Duration: Instantaneous
Save: Harmless
Spel Resistance: No

The ground below your feet suddenly seems insubstantial, and you sink below the surface, moving through dirt and stone as easily as if you were flying through the air.

You travel straight through the earth itself to a destination you choose.

The movement is instantaneous and has no distance limitations (though the location must be on the same world). You need only think of where you want to go. If you don’t think of an exact location, the earth carries you to the periphery of the general area you imagine.

The earth never leaves you stranded inside it. It always puts you back to the surface even if it cannot deliver you to your chosen destination. It takes you as far as it can. Underground, creature-built structures don’t hinder you as long as you can move around them.

This spell functions only on the Material Plane. Traveling to and from the depths of the Underdark can be dangerous, due to changes in the earth's density as the caster descends or ascends through it.

Material Component
850 gp worth of animal fossils, which dissolve to dust after the spell is cast.

Master Earth functions as wizard teleport in terms of mechanics and cost, but only works on the caster.

If Tree Stride/Travel by Plant can't be fixed to work cross-server, Master Earth can be expanded to work on multiple characters as it will serve the function of being the druid/shaman cross-server teleport (while TS and TbP are local teleports). If they can be fixed, then ME instead serves the purpose of being a non-material-locked single-person teleport for high-level druids/shamans, (while Tree Stride remains in use by rangers, and Travel by Plant is still needed for group travel).

Healing Touch (src: Book of Exalted Deeds, Magic of Faerûn)
Caster Level(s): Sorcerer / Wizard 3
Innate Level: 3
School: Necromancy [Good]
Descriptor(s): Negative
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Touch
Area of Effect / Target: Single
Duration: Instantaneous
Save: None
Spel Resistance: No

The skin of your hands turns translucent, showing the muscle and bone beneath. You touch your badly injured ally and feel your own vitality leave your body and enter their damaged form.

You transfer some of your life essence to the subject of the spell, healing it. You can heal up to 1d6 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 15d6). You take damage equal to half the amount your subject was healed. This spell cannot heal a subject of more damage than your current hit points +10, which is enough to kill you.

Functionally the inverse of Vampiric Touch, Healing Touch gives arcane spellcasters a limited means to serve a healing role, which they currently can only do pre-emptively via Stoneskin. It also helps expand the number of white necromancy spells (and Good spells in general), which are pretty lacking.

Greater Glyph of Warding
Caster Level(s): Cleric 6, Rune 7
Innate Level: 6
School: Abjuration
Descriptor(s):
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Casting Time: 3 castings
Range: Short
Area of Effect / Target: Large
Duration: 60 seconds / 2 Level
Save: Reflex 1/2
Spell Resistance: Yes

This is a more powerful version of Glyph of Warding. Greater Glyph of Warding deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels to the intruder and to all within 5 feet of him or her. This damage is divine, sonic, or negative, based on the alignment of the caster. Each creature affected can attempt a Reflex save to take half damage. Spell resistance applies against this effect.

Normal Glyph of Warding has also had its damage dice cap raised from 5 to 10.

Hindsight (src: Spell Compendium)
Caster Level(s): Bard 6, Sorcerer / Wizard 9, Knowledge 9
Innate Level: 6
School: Divination
Casting Time: 10 castings
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Self
Area of Effect / Target: Personal
Duration: 1 minute / level
Save: Harmless

You can see and hear into the past, getting a look at events that happened previously at your current location. The level of detail you see and hear by means of this spell depends on the span of time you wish to observe; concentrating on a span of days renders a more detailed perspective than, say, a span of centuries. Casting this spell has the practical effect of conferring a +10 bonus to Lore: History checks, increasing by +1 per 2 caster levels.

Gaining knowledge with this spell beyond the bonus to Lore: History checks generally requires supervision by a DM.

Another divination RP spell.

Animal Shapes (src: PHB)
Caster Level(s): Druid 7, Animal 6, Scalykind 8
Innate Level: 7
School: Transmutation
Descriptor(s):
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Short
Area of Effect / Target: One creature
Duration: 1 Hour / level
Save: None
Spell Resistance: No

You transform yourself or another character into an animal. The spell has no effect on unwilling creatures.

Polymorph for druids and animal/scaly domain clerics. For now just uses polymorph blueprints (but none of the humanoid forms), but will eventually be upgraded to use more powerful forms better fit for a 7th level spell.

Freedom (src: PHB)
Caster Level(s): Wizard / Sorcerer 9, Healing 9, Renewal 9
Innate Level: 9
School: Abjuration
Descriptor(s):
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Short
Area of Effect / Target: One creature
Duration: 6 seconds / level
Save: None
Spell Resistance: No

The subject is freed from spells and effects that restrict its movement and mental state, including entangle, grappling, solipsism, paralysis, petrification, sleep, slow, stunning, and web.

Freedom of Movement + Mind Blank + Stone to Flesh, single target only.

Disjoin Magic (src: PHB, as Mordenkainen's Disjunction)
Caster Level(s): Magic 9
Innate Level: 9
School: Abjuration
Descriptor(s):
Component(s): Verbal
Range: Medium
Area of Effect / Target: Single or Large
Duration: Instantaneous
Save: Will negates (object)
Spell Resistance: No

All magical effects within the radius of the spell are disjoined. That is, spells and spell-like effects are separated into their individual components (ending the effect as a dispel magic spell does). Disjoin Magic can also target a group of creatures, attempting to remove all area effects from the creatures in the group, as well as the most powerful magic effect on each target. To remove an effect, you make a dispel check of 1d20 +1 per caster level (to a maximum of +30) against a DC of 11 + the spell effect's caster level.

This spell can also be used to destroy magical items. A disjoined magic item must make a successful Will save or be turned into a normal item. An item in a creature’s possession uses its own Will save bonus or its possessor’s Will save bonus, whichever is higher. Destroying magical items with this spell generally requires supervision by a DM, and it is subject to pvp rules. For the purpose of pvp rules, disjoining an item is considered a form of perma-death (for the item) and thus requires the consent of the player whose item is to be destroyed.

Even artifacts are subject to disjunction, though there is a very low chance of actually affecting such powerful items. Additionally, if an artifact is destroyed, you must make a DC 25 Will save. Failure on the save can impose harsh consequences, up to the possibility of permanently lose all spellcasting abilities. (Abilities so lost cannot be recovered by mortal magic, not even miracle or wish.) Destroying artifacts is a dangerous business, and it is very likely to attract the attention of some powerful being who has an interest in or connection with the device. Destroying artifacts always requires supervision by a DM.

Slightly downtuned Mords for Magic domain clerics, with more focus on its IC RP uses. Has dispel effect but not the breach or SR reduction of wizard mord.

In addition, Elemental Swarm will now adjust which four elementals you get depending on your domain. Druids will continue to get a balance set of all four elements, while Air, Water, and Earth/Dwarf clerics will get only four elementals of their element (or two of each, if you take two separate elemental domains). Fire would have this function, too, but I'm pretty sure no one would want me to drop Meteor Swarm for Elemental Swarm.

Cold domain does not get Elemental Swarm, but will hijack the Elemental Swarm provided by Air or Water to summon only ice elementals if an Auril cleric has both.

These went in with the 1.2 patch. Just reporting here because they were not announced before.

Divine Seeker
Sacred Stealth now lasts for a number of minutes equal to the character's class level plus twice their Charisma modifier. (up from just twice Charisma mod).

Divine Perseverance now heals 1d6 per class level plus twice Charisma modifier (up from 3d6 plus Charisma mod)

Bodyguard
All-Out Assault now has a 5-minute cooldown instead of being once per day (it might have already had this in-game, but the wiki is updated now). All-Out Assault also now lasts for 5 rounds, and the self-damage per round has been reduced to 5 (and only starts from the 2nd round, for a total of 20 damage).

These changes were made as part of the domain rework (as some domains give these features), but the core class also benefits from the updates.
