Probably not.

This spell is the same as greater creeping cold, but it no longer has a saving throw, and it continues to gain an extra round of damage for every 5 caster levels the character has. The spell deals 7d6 points of cold damage on the 7th round if the caster is level 25 or higher, and 8d6 points of cold damage on the 8th round if the caster is level 30 or higher.

I do not know how to say this, but I kind of dislike the name of the spell. Thus one change that could be done is to rename:
Creeping Cold into Lesser Creeping Cold,
Greater Creeping Cold into Creeping Cold,
So that Superiod Creeping Cold could be Greater Creeping Cold.

Or perhaps just name this third spell as:
Unstoppable Creeping Cold,
Unmatched Creeping Cold,
Horrid Creeping Cold,
Wrathful Creeping Cold,
Or something else... I know that the D&D spells that make use of the word Superior, but I just dislike seeing that word in spell names.

The caster focuses malevolent wishes through a fiery gaze and curses someone with terrible luck. This is a more powerful version of evil eye. This spell is known as the Eye of Gruumsh to clerics of the orcish pantheon.

The subject takes a -6 luck penalty on all attack rolls, a -4 luck penalty on all saving throws, and a -8 penalty on all skill checks. The spell lasts for one hour per caster level, up to 24 hours, or until remove curse is cast on the subject.

Level six Wizard/Sorcerer spell book already has a spell such as, Flesh to Stone, make the save or basically die. There is also Disintegrate, and many other spells a Sorcerer would rather pick even with their expanded spell selection. As for Orc clerics, their sixt level spell book comes with Harm, and spamming the Harm can be improved through Spell Focus Necromancy, which also improves the creation of undead 'Orc' warriors.

Thus I got to agree with mrm3ntalist, there are not many reasons for people to use that spell, even if they have focused on Enchantment spells. Thus I would point towads Curse of Impending Blades, which always lowers AC by two. A level two spell. Thus I would suggest that on a failed save, the AB penalty would be -2, save penalty would be -1, and skill penalty would be -3. And I would change the spell description as follows:
"The caster focuses malevolent wishes through a fiery gaze and curses someone with terrible luck. This is a more powerful version of evil eye. This spell is known as the Eye of Gruumsh to clerics of the orcish pantheon.

If the subject fails his save; he takes a -4 luck penalty on all saving throws, -6 luck penalty on all attack rolls, and a -8 penalty on all skill checks. If the subject makes his save; he only takes a -1 luck penalty on all saving throws, -2 luck penalty on all attack rolls, and a -3 penalty on all skill checks. The spell lasts for one hour per caster level, up to 24 hours, or until remove curse is cast on the subject."

But to be entirely honest, as long as this spells lowers all saves, and even by just one... It will be a desirable spell for any DC caster. At spell level of six, those with Arcane Scholar 10 could even quicken it, and follow it up with some another spell.

You are surrounded by a ring of electricity that damages all opponents who make a successful melee attack against you. The damage inflicted is 1d6 points of electrical damage, +1 point per caster level. You also gain 50% immunity to electrical damage.

I do have a Sorcerer character that would use this Radiant Shield, Elemental Shield, and Death Armor all at the same time, and this character of mine would combine these spells with appropriate amount of DR and regeneration. In other words, my character would take 1-10 points of damage, and potentially deal back 1d6 + 30 (Fire Damage) + 1d6 + 30 (Electrical Damage) + 1d4 + 5 (magic Damage). That is "68-81" damage per hit dealt back at the attacker. If you think it is fine, sure, I don't mind. But perhaps this spell needs a line of code that makes it so that it either replaces Elemental Shield or fails to cast because of it, and vice versa.

Maelstrom conjures a deadly vortex of water. In the sea, it swallows up ships. On land, it erupts from the earth as if by a great geyser and funnels its way into the sky. The vortex moves at a speed of 5 feet per round. Undirected, it wanders the battlefield affecting all creatures it encounters. If the vortex exceeds the spell's range, it moves in a random, uncontrolled fashion for 1d3 rounds and then dissipates. All creatures in a radius of 20 feet are affected.

Any Large or smaller creature that comes into contact with the spell effect must succeed on a Reflex save or take 3d6 points of cold damage. A Medium or smaller creature that fails its first save must succeed on a second one or be knocked down by the force of the cyclone, taking 1d8 points of cold damage each round. A Reflex check against a DC of 11 + 3/5th of the character's total caster level is made every round while the storm lingers near the suppressed creature. The maelstrom has 10 base strength and receives +1 for every two casterlevels, raising its base damage by its strength modifier. The maelstrom can only be hurt by +3 enhanced magical weapons.

Upon first casting maelstrom, a feat is granted which can be used to direct the vortex.

Is that initial 3d6 damage once per round tick, or just upon contact? I presume it would get +15 damage increase. And anyhow, it sounds like it is a summoned creature, is it possible to run through a Maelstorm effect, or will it potentially block corridors?

Travel receives Tree Stride, but not Mark Plant. Would it be possible to add that as a cantrip? Otherwise I am confused if Mark Rune is sufficient or if Travel Domain is expected to UMD druid scrolls.

I was not aware these had these abilities in pnp, but I can look into supporting them now that I know! There is a persistent water breathing effect for ocean domain now, so that could easily be given to both of them, and an exclusion can be made for air genasi on Entomb.

The script already had this check, but it was designed for Elemental Shield stacking with itself. I'll update it so it checks for both. Thank you!

I don't know, sorry. It uses the same code as whirlwind, which is already in the game, so you can test that yourself if you'd like to get an idea for how it works.

I think there's also some spells that say they make you immune to suffocation. Stone/Iron Body? Not sure.

By the way, I noticed this line was repeated twice in the Entomb description:

For every round the creature remains entrapped within the ice, they take 2d12 points of cold damage.

Added in the next patch. Same thing for Mark Rune for druids for Master Earth.

I apologize. My priorities in this rework were in adhering to lore domains while not breaking individual builds (that is, if a domain gave a feat that was a requirement for another prc or feat, it had to stay or an alternative that offers the same feat needed to be added). I did not focus terribly much on avoiding people needing to RCR at all, as I didn't know how many features from the rework would actually be given automatically (apparently everything except the first feat, which can be gotten by leveling down and then back up, probably), and because we were actively in a 100% period. But others have felt that there are too many people being required to RCR due to Luck having been a popular domain before the rework, so it was re-added.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

how do i add these spells to my mage? i buy scroll at shop or i need to do RCR xxxagainxxx

These will not be added to shops by me. I'm not a fan of wizard spells being in shops generally. Next update will make the new spells scribable, but learning them will require trading with people that have them. I can also look into adding into the loot table at some point, assuming that's not done automatically.

Are those in? If so, which merchant holds new weapons? I returned from hiatus and checked usual vendors but nothing seems new.

There's a few new vendors (one in the FAI, for instance), but I think some of the new weapons are loot-only.

Water domain's Extra Skill Sense Motive does not appear to be working. I do have a background feat on my cleric, and I read somewhere that these are interfering with one another. Let me know if this is a bug or working as intended. If working as intended, should I RCR to get rid of the other background feat if I want Extra Skill: Sense Motive to work?

So, could someone list the locations of these vendors?

One of them is in Roaringshore, another I think at FAI. Not sure about the others.

Blushing Mermaid and the Calishite also got some new weapons.

I also downloaded the latest update today as well, before the above occurred (if that helps).

I had this aswell. Relogging a couple of times fixed it for me

I’ll give this a try. Cheers.

Still not seeing Darkvision show up as a Feat any longer on my Shifter build. I've logged and out a few times now.

Also, Shifter form Owlbear is not granting the Scent feat either.
