Updates and Roadmap / Re: CD Module Changelog v2
Last post by SpacePope - Mar 30, 2025, 11:49 AMCD Module v4.12b8
- Favored Souls can now use the Belt of Spell Storing
- Consolidated all the lore DM NPC areas into one area and removed old DM NPC areas (with help from Lady)
- Removed the old Highmoon areas from the module
- Added the correct teleport key to Highmoon
- Aboleth T4 dungeon creature balance update (Alice)
- Lake of Shadows updated (Misty)
- Removed remaining adamantine breastplate armors from the loot
- Fixed a few T5 and T6 items being placed in the wrong loot table
- Removed Hunter's Down book from the loot table
- Put more doggy treats in Lunar Light dungeon (Lady)
- Fixed a typo in the name of an Arabel council chamber NPC
Scripts
- (Blinding Speed) Fixed an exploit
- (Werewolf) Updated the werewolf hybrid form to a higher quality model
- (Shadow Double) Spell now has the correct duration when cast from a sequencer
- (Implosion) Improvement to Implosion damage calculation
- (Arcane Warrior) Channel Spell won't eat potions anymore
- (Warlock) Devour Magic now works more like the PnP version, providing 5 temporary hit point per successfully dispelled spell level for 2 minutes to the caster. This also means that the spell now can't dispel spells cast by the warlock.
- Added a dummy epic spell script to let people waste spell slots and show a DM they cast a spell, for unimplemented spells
- Added a new VFX accessory NUI system, accessible through /vfx and /customize. Note that players will have to manually add back accessories they had, as the old system has been fully removed. Thankfully, this new system will let us add new accessories much more easily! (Raysiel, with a lil' help from Pope)
- (Flame Barrage & Meteor Storm boss ability) Disabled a small part of the creature animation that was causing server crashes. The change is entirely cosmetic
.2da
- Added the entries for a new octopus creature model and portrait
- Shadow Dancer now correctly has the Bluff skill
- Attempted fix to some dragon disciple prerequirements issues
- Removed old VFX entries to add new ones converted to our new system

- Added a new octopus creature model and associated portrait
- Updated Channel Spell icons to improve readability of the number of charges remaining
- Converted 500~ old vfx files to a more modern system (Nibbles)
- Added a new NWN2 Wererat model

General Discussion / Re: Thank you for the positive...
Last post by ihmajin - Mar 23, 2025, 12:12 PMI want to pass along my praise and my gratitude for every player and character that I've had the pleasure of interacting with as Vedras Belvinde, the Paladin whom I've retired, and as Tharuk Besk, the brusque half-orc Fighter.
It has been many years since I've last felt like I belonged to a roleplaying community. Thank you Cormyr and the Dalelands.

I hope you continue to have fun, and God bless!

Admin Announcements / Re: Transparency - Player Bans
Last post by Nokteronoth - Mar 21, 2025, 07:28 PMWhisper1 - Delista Bendon, Elrith Imytholyn, Kriestiel Farideh, among others, is banned from the server.
The reasoning includes disrespect for the setting, causing incredible disruptions, refusing to heed or understand the warning given by archiving/deleting their other character, and ignoring NPCs/importance of setting.

General Discussion / Question
Last post by turtle - Mar 21, 2025, 02:19 PMWas looking for the exotic race template, but have not been able to find it. It use to be at the top of the exotic race request forum page but it is no longer there. Is there a different spot for it on the forums?

Player Announcements / On Responsbility and Change
Last post by Ceyella - Mar 18, 2025, 03:07 PMThis is an apology - Its probably going to be long because I want to be genuine and sincere. I don't expect forgiveness, but I want to show through actions that I can change. I know this needs time.
I want to start by saying I recognize that my behavior has hurt others, and I take full accountability for that. It's been a rough past few months for me as I figure some things out. I got hit pretty hard by some very close friends, good people making it clear, I can't interact with them how I am. To me, it really made me wake up that things need to change. It was difficult to hear, but I take full responsibility for my actions and will not let resentment cloud my growth. There are things I need to work on, and be nicer to others.
It's perfectly okay if no one wants to engage with me, or be my friend. I know I have made mistakes, I have realized this and acknowledged I need to change, but that does not mean I am immune from the consequences of my actions. I understand for some people lines are crossed that can't be walked back - and I want to respect that. If someone does not want to interact with me, let me or the admins know to let me know, and I will respect this. My characters won't seek you out.
For a long time on C&D I have been belligerent. I've struggled with trust and respect, but that doesn't excuse how I've treated others. When other people did not like me - I sought to back off. Theirs a lot of people who know this, who know I respect them and dont engage. I always keep to that, but it leads to things being overly difficult and alienating. I can't shut people out because I am scared, its not fair to others. I recognize I have pushed people away. If people ever feel comfortable, I hope to rebuild trust over time. Moving forward, I will respect boundaries and communicate with more openness.
I am trying to take real action, like stopping with Saccharine - I only play her to give people T5 rarities, with a little fae spin. That to me is enhancing peoples RP, as well as helping other players. i have come to understand the RP with her was confrontational and hostile, and adjusted accordingly. If you see Saccharine around - it is not to be a bother, I don't intent to RP her in town or around, I am just taking advantage of her high lvl to help others if they need help with wards, dungeons, or the like.
I know alot of people feel I can be very petty, particularly in involving staff. This was a failure on my part to communicate, and establish boundaries properly. I've used boundaries in a way that hurt others, and I need to handle them with more care and respect. This is wrong, and I know I need to be more respectful of other players and their time or views. A good friend of mine, talked to me about this. I don't want to name them out of respect - but I do appreciate them taking the time to explain to me, and help me understand the impact that is going to DMs about things. Its bad faith, and I should try to let things develop in game organically.
I understand I get overly defensive on discord. I should stop thinking people are hostile. Its hard when alot of people are IC/OOC. I will continue working on being quieter, more thoughtful, patient and less reactive. I shouldn't let my insecurities hurt people around me. I need to treat people with respect and care in discussions and not shut people out for disagreeing with me. I want to show kindness and help others moving forward.
I am committed to changing, I cannot promise to be perfect or not make mistakes, it may take time. I am very thankful for those who have taken time to speak with me, and help me realize a change is needed. I am remorseful to those I have lost, and I know I might never be able to rebuild those friendships, but it does not mean I can't try to change and grow from the experiences of the past few months.
