Epic Feats, Spells, and Epic Spells

Devastating Critical
As was said when the feat was first changed, the damage was always an initial test and subject to further tweaking. After careful consideration and some math behind the scene, the damage bonus provided by the feat has been adjusted and will now vary depending on the weapon being two-handed or not as well as its base critical threat range. This is to bring the overall damage curve of these weapons into a closer average proximity with one another, rather than having any one be a clear outlier or 'better' than the others by a significant margin. Damage is as follows:
One-handed weapon:
18-20: 15
19-20: 25
20: 35

Two-handed weapon:
18-20: 25
19-20: 40
20: 50

Epic Mage Armor
The spell has been changed to take into account base casting ability modifier on top of the type of armor, to reward investment in a character's casting ability modifier, with a cap on the AC amount. This will slightly reduce the AC gain for hybrid fighting-casting or 'gish' characters, bringing the average AC closer in line to other martial classes, while keeping the same AC gain for pure casters and DC casters, smoothing the curve across those build types. The numbers are as follow:

Base Armor AC    Epic Mage Armor AC Bonus
0                +9 + Base Casting Stat Modifier (max of 7)
1                +8 + Base Casting Stat Modifier (max of 7)
2                +7 + Base Casting Stat Modifier (max of 7)
3                +6 + Base Casting Stat Modifier (max of 7)
4                +5 + Base Casting Stat Modifier (max of 7)
5                +4 + Base Casting Stat Modifier (max of 7)
6                +4 + Base Casting Stat Modifier (max of 7)
7                +4 + Base Casting Stat Modifier (max of 7)
8                +4 + Base Casting Stat Modifier (max of 7)
11                +4 + Base Casting Stat Modifier (max of 7)
NOTE: Mystic theurge level 10+ always gets the max AC for their armor type, as they're already forced into splitting stats.

Heroic Alliance
Attack bonus has been reduced to +3. Damage bonus has been changed to physical and reduced to +3.

Heroic Empowerment
Because most of this spell wound up not stacking with Heroic Alliance, the bonuses and benefits from this spell have been rolled into the Tenser's Transformation and Divine Power spells, respectively, to keep the average benefit the same and remove a 'necessary' epic spell choice/spent slot. The spell has been removed. The benefits were not translated 1:1 with the old spell, but the overall increase of both spells has been improved.

Characters who had the spell researched are eligible for a one time free replacement with an epic spell of their choice, or a gold and combat xp reimbursement. The feat will be automatically removed from characters at a later date.

Divine Power
Now provides a divine damage bonus equal to your base number of attacks per round once level 21+. Added to Druid spellbook as a 5th level spell. Epic casters of the appropriate class will benefit from that damage bonus even if they use the spell through an item.

Tenser's Transformation
Now provides a magic damage bonus equal to your base number of attacks per round once level 21+. Also provides a Dodge AC bonus equals to half your base number of attacks per round once level 21+, rounded down. Epic casters of the appropriate class will benefit from that damage and AC bonus even if they use the spell through an item.

Storm of Vengeance
Spell Damage scaling fixed so it doesn't benefit from double the scaling received by other spells

Blizzard
Spell Damage scaling fixed so it doesn't benefit from double the scaling received by other spells

Creeping Doom
Damage cap increased to 2000.

Flare
Light descriptor removed.

Improved Invisibility
Concealment bonus reduced to 10%. Now reapplies invisibility every 3 rounds until the spell expires or is dispelled.

Implosion
Now removes any temporary HP from a creature and deals 95% of its max HP in untyped damage on a failed save.
Death effect removed.

Spell damage scaling has been added/fixed for certain spells:
- Magic Missile
- Shadow Conjuration - Magic Missile
- Force Missile
- Isaac's Lesser Missile Storm
- Firebrand
- Ball Lightning
- Flame Arrow
- Combust's initial hit
- Melf's Acid Arrow's lingering damage

Spells
This update introduces a complete rework of the custom spell damage scaling that was gained through levels and the archmage class. As a reminder, the spell damage scaling was used as a way to keep spell damage relevant versus the much inflated HP values of most of enemies in the lategame.
Instead of adding a flat d6 value to most spells, the base damage of each spell will now be multiplied by the following values:
Caster Level:
  • 5 | 1.1
  • 10| 1.2
  • 15| 1.4
  • 20| 1.6
  • 25| 1.8
  • 30| 2.0

To reward further investment in spellcasting, focus feats, a higher casting stat, and archmage levels all add to this multiplier as follows:

Focus Feats for the given spell school:
  • Spell Focus    | +0.2
  • G. Spell Focus | +0.4
  • E. Spell Focus | +0.8

Casting Stat (includes buffs):
  • 32 | +0.2
  • 34 | +0.4
  • 36 | +0.6
  • 38 | +0.8

Archmage:
  • Level 1 | +0.2
  • Level 3 | +0.4
  • Level 5 | +0.6

Note that these multiplier don't apply to damage against Player Characters, so as to not make Mastery of Shaping even more necessary than it is.

Hopefully, this change will help keep damage values closer to the intended scaling between base spell damage, instead of lower damage spells reaping much more benefits out of a flat damage value than higher damage ones, as a percentage of their total damage. This change also aims at providing a way for characters focusing on spellcasting over melee/ranged attacks to scale their damage above and beyond what "gishes" can achieve, and enhance an archetype that we felt was lacking.

We understand that this introduces a deep rebalance of how spellcasting plays on Cormyr and the Dalelands. Please expect future adjustments to these multipliers or to certain spells base damage if we notice issues ingame as we all learn to accomodate this change in "meta".

TLDR: This is a -big- change, expect hiccups. We will adjust things as we see how it plays.

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!
