  • Update Notes - March 21st, 2013

    Odds and ends, but lots of them...

    - Deities are now listed alphabetically

    - Class changes:
    * Fighter: can now use Weapon Mastery for ranged weapons
    * Paladins: Aura of Justice implemented
    * Blackguard: New feat Dark Strike
    A blackguard may, as a free action, gain a bonus equal to their charisma modifier, if positive, against all creatures of an alignment opposite their own. In addition, they deal divine damage against all opponents, regardless of alignment, equal to their combined levels in Blackguard and Divine Champion. This ability lasts for 60 seconds. The damage stacks with other sources of divine damage.
    Use: Activated. Cooldown 60 seconds.

    * Changes to many MoMF forms to make them better

    - Other feats and feat changes
    * Arcane Armor Training
    Prerequisites: Armor Proficiency (Light), arcane Caster level 3
    Benefits: Your arcane spell failure incurred by armor is reduced by 10%. This reduction does not apply toward any other source of ASF, including shields.

    * Arcane Armor Mastery
    Prerequisites: Arcane Armor Training, Armor Proficiency (Medium), arcane caster level 7th
    Benefit: Your arcane spell failure incurred by armor is reduced by 20%. This reduction does not apply toward any other source of ASF, including shields.This ability replaces, and does not stack with, the bonus granted by Arcane Armor Training.

    * Arcane Strike
    Prerequisite: Ability to cast arcane spells (Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, or Wizard)
    Specifics: For one minute, your weapons deal +1 magic damage. For every five caster levels you possess, the damage bonus increases by +1, to a maximum of +5 at 20th level. This damage stacks with other sources of flat magic damage, such as that gained from adamantine weapons. It does not stack with damage bonuses vs alignment/race.
    Use: Activated. 60 second cooldown.


    - Spells cast from scrolls no longer cost gold

    - Spell durations for many buffs restored to original durations (shield, imp mage armor, etc.)

    - Whurest difficulty amped up

    - Skullcleavers chest key blah blah dwarf...

    - Map changes:
    * Avanthyr walkmesh improved, and world map entrance to the east
    * Sestra Temple of Lliyra -> Temple of Bane
    * Aquor Temple of Sune -> Temple of Auril, Temple of Kossuth -> Temple of Bane

      Do the new Arcane armour proficiency feats mean Still spell will be removed as a prerequisite for Eldritch Knight?

      Maybe add something like Combat casting as prerequisite instead?

        Crazy random placeables aside, this is a very nice update.

        A point of curiosity, though: Does the Blackguard's Dark Strike alignment requirement work on the Good-Evil axis only, or does it have to be a completely opposite alignment (e.g. LE blackguard Dark Strike only works on CG)? Guessing it only looks at the Good-Evil axis (since it'd make being a NE blackguard awkward), but would like confirmation.
        But please, keep one thing in mind for me. What have you become when even nightmares fear you?

          It works on any of the good alignments, unless they changed it with this new change. So it works on lawful good, neutral good, and chaotic good.

            It works on an either/or category. If the target is good, or your opposing lawful/chaotic alignment, it will work.

            A LE Blackguard could smite LG, NG, CG, CN, or CE. A CE Blackguard could smite LG, NG, CG, LN, or LE. Neutrally aligned blackguards only get LG, NG, and CG.

              Woah, arcane strike seems rather nice! Does it stack with inspire courage?

                Another few question on arcane strike:
                Does it function with all weapons (both ranged AND melee)?
                Does it multiply on crit (like the 1-minute level-1 divine spell that grants magic damage, seeing as I cannot remember the name)?
                And is there any hope of trading a feat for it on currently-existing characters?

                  Arcane armour feats are brought well in line now. I approve. Like Thaelis said, does this mean a change to eldritch knight prereqs?

                      In game description reads as 9 second cooldown, which is a big difference! Which is correct?

                        60 seconds. The feat description is an old version. Correct description will go in, at some point.

                          I never received the feat as a wizard. Is it suppose to be given on creation? Or chosen.

                            You have to choose it at creation or at level you gain a feat.

                              Bah, then that is a waste of a feat imo. Might as well buy one of the staffs that allow you to shoot magic missiles infinite number of times, and never miss.

                              EDIT: Yes yes, I know, "No one is forcing me to take it, and perhaps it would be good for a melee build."
