Module
- Eye of the Storm T6 dungeon updated (Lady)
- Drow Treehouse pending rework merged for testing (Alice)
- New T5 Lunar dungeon added for testing (Ladybug)
- Fixed floating placeables in the Blue Draykn Inn (Pretzel)
- (Player home) Fixed Morgan's cat and dog AI script
- House area updated for Eirik and Natalia (Terallis)

- Added player home (Pretzel)
- Added player home (Ozzy)
- Added player home (Goodapallo)
Scripts
- Fixed a bug with /order and /spellwidget causing every spell to order summons around and /order to cast spells
- (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
- Refactored all elemental weapon and related scripts to simplify future dev work
- Fixed a typo in the golem overload boss ability
- Fixed an error in Druids and Demonic Servitor backend scripts for some feat removal/addition
- Dwarven Waraxe now also receives the 1.5 strength modifier when wielded with an empty offhand, except for Swordmage
- 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

Admin Announcements / Re: Transparency - Player Bans
Last post by Nokteronoth - Oct 28, 2024, 11:16 PMPiper, also known as "MinxXy" or "Moxxie" has been banned from the server for multiple reasons.
The biggest two of these are ban evasion on Discord (having also been Kabran,) and identity theft of a real person, to the point where we have had to consider the legal ramifications of their stealing pictures and other personal identifying information, including posting their stolen pictures on the Discord.
While this would usually be let go with a warning, they have shown in their history on the server for 4+ years to continually duck out as soon as they've done something wrong enough to warrant a talking-to, only to come back as a new identity. This is not a problem for typical players. We don't really care what name you choose to use, nor what you do. The problem comes when that leniency is used to bypass any sort of consequences, only to repeat the exact same behavior upon changing their name and coming back. This newest iteration is their fourth different account on the server, and we haven't seen their behavior change at all since the first.
Due to their repeated use of changing identities in order to escape bans or other reactions to their mistakes, we are banning all CD keys and accounts that are registered to their same IP address, and will continue to do so if they pop up yet again.

Last post by kaiosprey - Oct 26, 2024, 01:00 PMGuess what we are human. Sometimes humans suck. All we can do is try to suck less and bring joy when we can.
You're not a sucky human in general. Whatever you did that was sucky can be forgiven.
You are loved

Last post by shiraember - Oct 22, 2024, 01:43 AMI understand that, I heard that creating new outfits is very hard for this game, unfortunately I can´t help with that otherwise I would. I want to see man of Cormyr in better condition, that is for sure. Well, only thing I can do to support them is to make a male character on my own now

Last post by Terallis - Oct 21, 2024, 10:52 AMThing with that, much like any other content creation, is that we'd need someone to go through the effort of doing so. It's not the most difficult overall, but more tedious and time consuming. Especially since it would require more than just conversion, but proper fitting to the other model type, which is also all the primary races rather than just gender swap.

Suggestions & Ideas / Claws and more armor choices f...
Last post by shiraember - Oct 21, 2024, 01:10 AMThere are plenty amazing choices for clothing and armor for woman´s character but not for males. Male dragon without nice claws is a sad dragon. There is a beautiful dress for female to absolutely smash her look with hand claws and feet ones, please, could you add something similar for males? Male characters also deserve to look good (as a female myself I would really appreciate that)
