- FAI area updated for DM event.
- Greater wall of dispel magic caster DC cap set to 20.
- Wall of dispel magic caster DC cap set to 15.

- The following classes can now take perform as a cross class skill. Assassin, Duelist, Harper Agent, Rouge, Shadow thief of Amn, Arcane Archer, Fighter, Ranger, NWN9, and Shadowdancer. This is mainly to qualify for Dervish as it requires 3 ranks of perform. Without this change, only a bard or invisible blade would be able to qualify for the Dervish PRC.

6/13/2010

- Jagged Tooth still had a bug. It should work across the board now.
- Shadow Simulacrum and Glass Doppleganger can no longer create a clone of a clone. Now checks for a localint on the creature named isBoss and fails if that is set to 1.
- Storm Lord Electrical Immunity should be fixed.
- Tensors fixed to remove martial weapons when spell ends if user does not have martial weapon feat.
- Fury Domain no longer gets Tensors trans for a spell. Instead they get warcry.
- Battletide - Udpated to be more like PnP -> You create an aura that steals energy from your enemies. Your enemies suffer a -2 circumstance penalty on saves, attack rolls, and damage rolls, once entering the aura. On casting, you gain a 50% movement speed increase, a +1 bonus to your saves, a +1 bonus to your attack rolls, and a +1 dodge ac bonus. NOTE: This spell will end if there are no hostile enemies within the affected area.
- Missing Crew Quest Should be fixed. Other crew is at the blade and stars.

- Varalla's passage updated to 1.08 (mar3usmc)
- School of Necromancy update to 1.22 (mar3usmc)
- Gullykin was updated with Habers changes.

- Appearance Changer: Should now block a player from changing an item that has an adjusted price if it will make the item "un-usable" due to level restriction. This is to fix the problem where some players change the appearance of certain IG items and it raises the level cap required to equip the item.
