Update Notes - 17 August (Some still in pipes)

[Shinshan]

Where can we buy the res diamonds?

[sonuvalich]

Are the new NPC temple rezes no longer restoring vitality?

[Poltergeist]

NPC rezzes and Self-Respawn does not restore vitality.

[sonuvalich]

Huh, why was I thinking it was no vit for self, little bit for temple, max for PC rez? Was that the old system and I just haven't been rezzed in that long?

[OnyxTigress]

Used to be, but these are brand new changes.

[sonuvalich]

OK, if that's the new system. I didn't see it explicitly stated in the notes so I didn't know if I was derping out about older rule changes.

With the Assassination vitality damage, isn't that a bit pointless since it can only be used against PCs, yet the Fort DC maxes out at like 24? You would practically only be able to assassinate Wizards.

Wizard haters! :P

Why not make it a Con check instead of Fort save? I guess the DC would have to be a bit lower, but then anyone could be assassinated. Elves would be slightly easier and Dwarves would be the hardest to assassinate, which makes perfect sense.

Edit: Constitution check DC 5 + 1/2 level + ability modifier perhaps? Also, I'm assuming they actually have to be killed by the attack or the following attacks in order to take this Vitality damage, or am I jumping to conclusions?

[Lugwy]

Don't target the paladin, blackguard, or buffle-bubbled toon, then. DC 24 is nothing to sneeze at for most toons.

The class-level DCs stack. For instance going 10 assassin/5 dark hunter can put you well above 24 DC.
10 (base) + 10 (assassin levels) + 5 (dark hunter levels) + X (int modifier) = 25 + Int Modifier for DC

Oh, well that's pretty scary. DC 29-30 isn't bad. I'm going to take my wizard and hide him in an adamantine bunker right about now.
