#185
CD Module v4.11d1
This update includes changes to many elements affecting mechanical balance of the server. Considering the amount of changes, there may be oversights. Be warned that numbers may be tweaked once we've had time to see how it all looks once tested live.

Areas/Module content
Arabel East:
- The refugee crisis is now over. Area has been updated. (Thanks Koffie!)

Thunderstone:
- Initial revamp of the area, refugees are settling back into the area. More updates to come. (Thanks FireWraith!)

Yulash:
- Blue Draykn has been entirely revamped. (Thanks Nokteronoth!)

Underdark:
- Various fixes to Maerimydra
- Fixed an hostile NPC in Maerimydra South
- Fixed floating placeables in player home - Amethyst Keep

Eveningstar:
- Tressym's Meow shop is now accessible.

Hullack Forest -  Wanton Wyvern Inn Exterior:
- Teleport point fixed.

Spell changes

- All cantrips are now unlimited use. UNLIMITED POWER!

Awaken:
- Added to ranger spellbook. Level 4.
- Now provides: +1 constitution, strength and dexterity per 2 caster level. +2 shield, armour, deflection, and natural armor class, +1 per 4 caster level. +1d10 wisdom and +2 to attack rolls. +20% non-physical immunity +1% per caster level.
Explanation: This is a bandaid fix to make Animal Companions usable, as they've long been useless on the server. The immunity is to compensate for the AI not knowing how to dodge away from danger, and numbers may definitely be changed in future updates if this feels over or undertuned once people have time to test it.

Whirlwind:
- Bosses are now immune to Whirlwind's crowd control effect.

Tongues:
- Can now be cast as a Silent, Still, or Quickened spell.

Planar Ally:
- Now correctly gets an increased duration with Spell Focus in conjuration.
- Now uses the Summoning Books system to select the summoned creature.

Shadow double:
- Double now spawns with a Premonition effect DR shield of the caster level if summoned by a CL 15+ arcane caster, so the unbuffed double doesn't get instantly squished.
- Shadow Adepts summoning a shadow Double now benefit from double the duration.

New Spells
Iceberry & Flameberry
- Druid 3/Ranger 2: Enchants the user's animal companion, granting it +1d10 cold (or fire) damage, regeneration of 1 hit point per round, and 10/- cold (or fire) damage resistance. 1 turn per level duration.

Mass Longstrider
- Druid 5/Ranger 4: Mass version of the Longstrider spell.

Abilities
Recharge timers have been added to some abilities. These work like the Tempest's Flurry cooldown: that is, the recharge timer begins once the ability is used (i.e. -not- when its duration expires), and each charge is gained back according to when it was last used. This means you can still quickly spend all charges of an ability if it has more than one, and you'll gain back all of these once the recharge timer is up, or you can stagger usage to favor a rolling recharge of ability uses.

Arcane Fire:
- Cooldown removed

Blast Infidel:

Wildshape rework
This update includes a complete rework of druid and shifter's wildshape, aiming at giving the two classes a stronger identity with two diverging paths to follow. The goal of this rework is also to fix most of the remaining issues, bugs, and general mechanical weirdness associated with wildshape.

Considering the amount of changes made, numbers may be adjusted later on. Everything has been tested, but there could be bugs. Please report them in the #bugs channel of the Discord if you find any.

RELEVELS/REBUILDS ARE NEEDED FOR:
- Druids who have Dragon Shape. ONLY those who had dragon shape. Non-dragon shape druids are fine.
- Shifters.

Currently existing shifter characters who wish to keep to a more spellcasting-focused playstyle may relevel to druid.

DM ITEMS:
In accordance with how such massive class changes have been handled in the past, currently existing shifters who had spellcasting focused items may post in the Replacing DM Items board to ask for a one-time edit to their affected DM items. Note that this only applies to spellcasting-focused stats like Bonus Spellslots that are now unusable.

Summary of the changes:
- Shifter now has no Caster Level progression.
- Shifter now gains full AB progression.
- Tumble added to the Shifter skill list.
- Armor Class (AC) merging from items now fully takes gear into account. This should lead to an AC progression curve through the levels and gear tier that more closely ressemble what other characters can expect.
- Weapon Focus: Unarmed and associated feats now automatically provide the right focus for weapon using forms. This means a shifter should focus on Unarmed feats to enhance their melee capabilities.
- Stat rebalance of all forms.
- Innate Dodge AC entirely removed from -every- shape.
- Form abilities' DC now scale with the players' Wisdom.
- Many models swapped to higher quality ones.
- Druid AC bonus now adds both Druid and Shifter levels. Still +2 at 5 and +4 at 10.
- Dragon Shape is now a shifter exclusive capstone.
- Epic Wildshape is now a (new) druid exclusive capstone giving access to Elder Treant, Myconid Sovereign, and Mist Dragon form.
- All abilities become infinite use past the level you'd have infinite use of the form. (You already had infinite use, but this prevent having to constantly unshift/shift for QoL)
- Backend change to the way gendered forms are chosen, using work done by Fox for Drider form. Simplified some of polymorph.2da and the wildshape script.

Shape specific changes (other than stat changes):
Druid:

Panther form
- Replaced with cougar form.

Boar form
- Replaced with raven form.

Earth Elemental:
- Can now Hurl Rocks.

Epic Wildshape
- Requires epic character, 26+ Wisdom and Wild Shape 6x/day.
- Replacement for Dragon Shape.

- Myconid has a corrosive spores ability that dazes foes and does acid damage. Similar skin to the elementals. Vulnerable to fire.
- Mist Dragon has Corrosive (acid) breath, Scalding (fire) breath, and Gust of Wind as abilities. Similar skin to the shifter dragon. Immune to fire and acid.

- Moved ~75 creatures that still used Jasperre's AI to our default AI.
