- Fixed a typo in the dialogue from Kristy Mirndon in the Seraph
Dungeons
- Eagle Peak exterior + shrine interior update (Lady)

Suggestions & Ideas / Lycanthrope Animal Form Correc...
Last post by Terallis - Jul 05, 2024, 09:23 PMI had posted this up in the forum update requests area, but thought I should more properly put this up in here as well.
I think I may have posted about this some time in the past, before my hiatus, but can't fully remember. With that said, I wanted to mention that the Lycanthrope animal forms don't get any of the same stuff as the hybrid form does, even though they're meant to, in PnP. Through both the specific lycanthrope type charts for monsters, as well as the section on Lycanthropes As Characters, it shows that both hybrid and animal forms are meant to get the same benefits as each other.
So this post is meant as a suggestion to potentially add those benefits back in for the animal forms. I know prior to their change a couple years back, it worked just fine like this, but after some of the changes, animal form lost all of its actual benefits, per PnP.
Here are a couple shots of the information in question:

News and Announcements
- We are incredibly saddened to announce that Avariel (Kaylynn/Renee), the player of Charity Brightsong, and Tigerlily, the player of Skye Synter, passed away some time ago and are no longer with us in this world. They played on the server between 2021-2022. Those that had the pleasure of knowing them will miss them dearly. The In Memoriam section in the OOC Area has been updated to honor and remember them both. (Ray)
Areas/Monsters/Items
- Word of a smuggling ring beneath Marsember filters through the rumor mill. (New T4 dungeon added for testing) (Lady)

- The Society of Stalwart Adventurers is now open via Suzail Eastern Promenade! (Thanks again Rykka for the Society build!)
- (UD) Update to the Hook Horrors dungeon (Edge)
- Update to the T6 Asylum dungeon (Misty)
- Update to the T6 Gallery dungeon (Lady)
- Marsember teleport points now work correctly (Ray)
- Various minor tweaks and fixes in Marsember, including the grounding of the flying frog. (Rykka/Ray)
- The Priestess of Tymora in Marsember no longer speaks like a Priestess of the Morninglord and has stopped selling Umberlee wares due to multiple Cease and Desist orders. (Ray)

- Vincent Klennard is no longer locked out of his front yard. (Ray)

- DMs/Builders can now assign their NPC's animation sets (arcane, demonblade,etc) using the local variable ANIMATIONSET int <animationsets.2da #>. The NPC must be a dynamic model (i.e. halfling/human/elf would work, ogre would not). (Ray)
