Persistent News System (Raysiel)
- HEAR YE, HEAR YE! A new in-game interface is now available to read news, announcements, and advertisements
- For the Surface folks, "The Heartlands Herald" is a broadsheet that can be purchased from vendors across Arabel, Suzail, and Marsember, as well as Highmoon, Ashabedford and Yulash. Buy one and use it to see the latest news!
- For the Underdark folks, there are shadowy Rumormongers scattered throughout, such as the Toy Chest, the Markets in both Sschindylryn and Maerimydra, and so on. Speak to them to get the latest news and rumors!
- Stories and Advertisements will last 45 days to start before being removed. They will be ordered from newest to oldest, and will tell you how old the entry is.
- Speaking of Advertisements, players belonging to factions/guilds/businesses can make a Misc Request on the forums to add a short Headline/Advert to the Heartlands Herald / Rumormongers for the low low price of 500GP! Recruitment posts, announcements of player run events, adverts on specials in your restaurant, etc.
- This system is not intended to replace the forum posts for news/chronicles. Instead it is meant to be a supplement to those stories, and allow characters to read about events in-game and in-character. Hopefully, with enough DM's contributing to it, it will help the world feel a bit more alive and interactive.
- Please be patient over the next few days as DMs add more stories and announcements to it!

General Discussion / About Illy
Last post by Valeriana - Nov 17, 2024, 03:08 AMI am banned over speaking out against bigotry over the silly wizards game, alongside others including staff members. I am banned from discord and only discord, remain gone for years and log back on only to be banned 10 min later without forewarning or attempted dialogue.
Not even an attempt at communicating. If you want to instead have a mature conversation about it, my discord is illy6666.

Admin Announcements / Re: Transparency - Player Bans
Last post by Fire Wraith - Nov 16, 2024, 06:33 PMJust to update this, the player "Illy" is fully banned from the server, not just Discord. We never had to address it previously as they'd long since stopped playing prior to the issues with them in Discord, but due to their long history of disruptive and problematic behavior, both IC and OOC, they are not welcome on this server.

General Discussion / Re: Get to know your DMs!
Last post by aliceofthevoid - Nov 14, 2024, 03:08 PMDM Name: aDM Harlequin / aDM Kalaraq
Timezone: EST (GMT +5)
Availability: Depends on what I'm doing. Small ad hocs / NPC meets can be during the day while I'm at work sparingly, but usually my time to run a proper session during the week is from 7pm - 10 EST, and on the weekends from Noon - 10pm
Preferred Number of Players: 4. I prefer smaller plots to let each individual shine through
Preferred Length of Quest: Variable, usually in the 3-5 session mark for quests, with multiple quests as part of a plot. 1-3 hours per session
Thematic Styles/Specialties:
Wishes to avoid:
- Racial lore heavy plots. There is so much reading I would feel like I need to do to do elf/drow/dwarf/gnome lore justice, more than I am frankly willing to do.
Current Plotlines:
- None that are shareable or open ended.
Miscellaneous Notes:

Preferred Length of Quest: Variable, usually in the 3-5 session mark for quests, with multiple quests as part of a plot. 1-3 hours per session
Thematic Styles/Specialties:
- Far Realm
- Realm of Dream
- Faerie stuff on occasion
- In general, planar activities and outsiders mucking about with the people of Toril
- Fiends, Slaads, militant Celestials, others
- Generally leaning for more "serious" plots over silliness.
Wishes to avoid:
- Racial lore heavy plots. There is so much reading I would feel like I need to do to do elf/drow/dwarf/gnome lore justice, more than I am frankly willing to do.
Current Plotlines:
- None that are shareable or open ended.
Miscellaneous Notes:
- Mechanical Rules: /touchon, /diceprivate, speak in questchat or die. Hold on new area for emotes and the "Free to Move." Ask before leap/fly/dd
- If you have a character biography page, please link it when signing up for a quest.
- I will reserve the right to alt players who have been unusually highly quested recently.
- Be proactive. I won't always lay out a clear path for you, and will even lay obvious red herrings to steer you off of it. Take initiative, find the best outcome for yourself.
- Some inter-party conflict is acceptable, if there's a reason for it. Don't pick fights for the sake of picking fights, but stand up for yourself in the name of your character's morality.
- I do check the quest request forum, but directly messaging me is preferred if you know I'll like running it.

Module

Scripts

- (NPC ability) Petrification Gaze is now party-friendly
- (NPC ability) Bebilith's Ruin Armor now unequips target's armor and covers them in web (VFX to hide the skin). Removed armor is auto-equipped after five rounds, which is the duration of the VFX.
- (NPC ability) Knockdown Bolt now only knockdown on a failed Discipline check. DC is affected by the base AC of the armor that's worn. Heavier = easier to resist.
- (NPC ability) Wing Buffet now only knockdown on a failed Discipline check. DC is affected by the base AC of the armor that's worn. Heavier = easier to resist.
- Optimized Hellball's script

- Spell widget NUI will now refresh on player respawn
Bleedout and death system
Some small changes have been made to the bleedout system so that healers more often have time and opportunities to heal up downed allies past the early levels.
- Entering bleedout now always starts you at 0 if the hit wasn't enough to instantly kill you
- Bleedout limit is now -10 - Constitution Modifier. This takes into account gear and buffs. For example, a character with 22 constitution will now only die at -16.
Spells, Feats & Class Abilities
- (Alter Self) Saving and loading an appearance now also saves/loads the portrait and description, so you can have a portrait and description specific to each saved alter self appearances
- (Shifter & NPC's SLA improved Invisibility) Fixed a bug that made it possible to attack while staying invisible. Ability has been reworked to work like the Improved Invisibility spell
- (Greater Magic Weapon) Now provides an Enhancement Bonus to ranged weapons, not just an Attack Bonus
- (Phantasmal Killer) Can now be extended
- (Shadow Spray) Fixed a lot of bugs with the spell. Daze duration now 1 round +1 round per 4 caster level, to a maximum of 4 rounds. Strength penalty now 4 (it was already doing 4 str damage due to errors in the script)
- (Shadow Hand) Now does 10d6+4 damage
- (Animal Companion) Wolves can now be set to a fox appearance using the menu available in /settings
- (Familiar) Cats can now be set to a fox appearance using the menu available in /settings. Yes, they'll still sound like cats
- (Shadar Kai race) Now has a racial feat giving the appropriate uncapped +skill bonuses. Skin bonuses on existing skin will automatically be replaced with the feat
- (Shadar Kai race) Sneak Attack bonus is now tied to the Shadar Kai feat and stacks with other sneak attack feats. Any existing Shadar Kai who had another sneak attack feat added as a placeholder must have it removed
- (Brownie race) Now has a racial feat giving the appropriate uncapped +skill bonuses. Skin bonuses on existing skin will automatically be replaced with the feat
- (Brownie race) Does not get Skill Focus: Hide nor Skill Focus: Move Silently anymore, since those were given as compensation for the capped skill bonuses they had. Both feats will automatically be removed from existing characters
