Server-side only. No area, HAK, etc. changed in this patch.

I locked the 15Mar2016 thread so we can better sift through it and patch as needed. If there is an issue in it that persists, you can copy/quote it into this thread.

Do not post Area bugs in this thread. Nothing changed w.r.t. areas. Use the Area Folder.

Hello,

my specialized wizard (conjuration) has the prohibited school necromancy. He cant scribe the spell mark rune (cantrip) into his spellbook. it is outlined red as belonging to the prohibited school, but actual belongs to the universal school.

Same, No Mark Rule spell available for my Transmuter.

Ok... Spell Focus Greater, Conjuration - qualifies for Archmage.

Summons go ape*(#@ crazy and agro all passive NPCs.

Study Spell will not even try to scribe Summon Monster 8 (no idea about the other summon
spells)

Tieflings do not learn abyssal automatically, Half-Elves do not learn Elven automatically.

Able to have Programmed Image, Planar Binding, Air Ball and Sand Warriors and Wall of Stone out with familiar all at the same time.

Not a bug, but it should be put out more mainstream- Thaumaturge requirement is Lore - Planes now. Not just Lore (which lore arcana is default, but not in this case).

Not a bug, but again, I had to ask on the IRC - To unsummon things, you have to use the dispel command on the character or PC tools and cancel all spell effects. You lose all your buffs AND the summons in this way.

I have more, but I gotta jet.

Good updates! Keep it up.

Can you elaborate on what tweaks you made to holy sword/lawful sword ? is it 1 round per CL now ?

If it is could we go back to 1min/CL or even half minute/CL, 1 round per level would be really problematic since paladins have very limited spellslots.

It has been put back to 6s/CL so for a wand it would last around 1 minute 36 seconds. For a scroll it would be roughly the same as scrolls should be able to be scribed up to level 15CL now. For a pure Pally or full 30CL Pally they should get 2 minutes and 30 seconds. This is more than enough time for a boss fight. The challenges of fighting undead can be met with Bless weapon at 1minute/CL and Flame weapon at 1minute/CL as well. Dispels have been reduced in some areas already and I have gone there to test it a bit. The issue with the Holy sword is power it gives a LG alignment PC a distinct advantage over other builds on the server with the new updates. It makes them the sole highest damage build on the server which is not what the server intends for a class that already can rule the server quite a bit when used correctly. Also with the dispel working properly on holy sword which has been disabled again the enchantment was far too powerful with +5 EB Vs Evil as well.

Hmm, well you make fair points, i won't complain anymore.

Perhaps unrelated to recent updates, I'm not sure. But while disarming a trap I got a critical failure on

Assassin poison save bonus doesnt seem to be working right.

After using HIPS hostile npcs are following. Does not take an imagination to cook up abuse of this.


Luring to traps...grouping for aoes...baiting into other players....

This is not a bug. You failed the disable device check by 5 or more; the trap went boom. Normal mechanics here.

+Con items do lots of damage to me. It hurts. After I finish crafting an items appearance, the +Con items are re-equipped a couple times which causes the PC to lose the amount of HP that would be gained from the item to be lost twice.

Yeah, the trap above outright killed me with con dmg.

Ah, good call. I misread disable device details. I thought that spec failure was only on recoveries.

They are following you, because your move silently or hide is not high enough.

This is normal.

Enchanted Blade and Enchanted Bow are level 61 in your inventory....
