v0.91.63 Patch Notes - Arcane Archer, Epic Feats



New Prestige Class: Arcane Archer
An arcane spellcaster who draws upon ancient elven traditions to infuse his arrows with potent magical power.


Master of the elven warbands, the arcane archer is a warrior skilled in using magic to supplement her combat prowess. Beyond the woods, arcane archers gain renown throughout entire kingdoms for their supernatural accuracy with a bow and their ability to imbue their arrows with magic. In a group, they can strike fear into an entire enemy army.

Many who seek to perfect the use of the bow sometimes pursue the path of the arcane archer. Arcane archers are masters of ranged combat, as they possess the ability to strike at targets with unerring accuracy and can imbue their arrows with powerful spells. Arrows fired by arcane archers fly at weird and uncanny angles to strike at foes around corners, and can pass through solid objects to hit enemies that cower behind such cover. At the height of their power, arcane archers can fell even the most powerful foes with a single, deadly shot.

Base Classes: Those who have trained as both rangers and wizards excel as arcane archers, although other multiclass combinations are not unheard of. Fighters, rangers, paladins, and barbarians become arcane archers to add a little magic to their combat abilities. Conversely, wizards and sorcerers may take this prestige class to add combat capabilities to their repertoire. Monks, clerics, druids, rogues, and bards rarely become arcane archers.

Role: Arcane archers deal death from afar, winnowing down opponents while their allies rush into hand-to-hand combat. With their capacity to unleash hails of arrows on the enemy, they represent the pinnacle of ranged combat.

Alignment: Arcane archers can be of any alignment. Elf or half-elf arcane arches tend to be free-spirited and are rarely lawful. Similarly, it is uncommon for elven arcane archers to be evil, and overall the path of the arcane archer is more often pursued by good or neutral characters.

Non-adventurers: Arcane archers may be found wherever elves travel. Arcane archers often lead units of normal archers or form small, elite units formed entirely of arcane archers. These units are one of the prime reasons that the elves are so feared in battle.


Prerequisites:
Race: Elf or Half-elf.
Base Attack Bonus: +6.
Feats: Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Weapon Focus.
Spells: Ability to cast level-1 arcane spells.


Class Features:
Level Limit: 10.
Hit Dice: d8.
Base Attack Bonus: Good.
Good Saves: Fortitude, Reflex.
Key Abilities: Dexterity, Strength, Constitution.

Class Skills: Craft, Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Ride, Spot, Survival, Use Rope.
Skill Points per Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Weapon Proficiency: Simple and martial weapons.
Armor Proficiency: Light and medium armor, light and heavy shields.

Bonus Feats: Gains an extra feat every 4 levels after 10th level (14, 18...).

Bonus Spellcasting Level: When leveling up this class, the effective spellcasting level of a spellcasting class is also increased.


Class Abilities:

Enhance Arrow
At 1st level, every nonmagical arrow an arcane archer nocks and lets fly becomes magical, gaining a +1 enhancement bonus.

For every two levels the character advances past 1st level in the prestige class, the magic arrows she creates gain +1 greater potency (+1 at 1st level, +2 at 3rd level, +3 at 5th level, +4 at 7th level, and +5 at 9th level).

The enhancement bonus of Enhance Arrow stacks with the enhancement bonus of magic bows.

Imbue Arrow
At 2nd level, an arcane archer gains the ability to place an area spell upon an arrow. When the arrow is fired, the spell’s area is centered on where the arrow lands, even if the spell could normally be centered only on the caster.

This ability allows the archer to use the bow’s range rather than the spell’s range.

Seeker Arrow
At 4th level, an arcane archer can launch an arrow once per day at a target known to her within range, and the arrow travels to the target, even around corners. Only an unavoidable obstacle or the limit of the arrow’s range prevents the arrow’s flight.

This ability negates cover and concealment modifiers, but otherwise the attack is rolled normally.

Phase Arrow
At 6th level, an arcane archer can launch an arrow once per day at a target known to her within range, and the arrow travels to the target in a straight path, passing through any nonmagical barrier or wall in its way. (Any magical barrier stops the arrow.)

This ability negates cover, concealment, and even armor modifiers, but otherwise the attack is rolled normally.

Hail of Arrows
At 8th level, in lieu of her regular attacks, once per day an arcane archer can fire an arrow at each and every target within range, to a maximum of one target for every arcane archer level she has earned.

Each attack uses the archer’s primary attack bonus, and each enemy may only be targeted by a single arrow.

Arrow of Death
At 10th level, an arcane archer can create an arrow of death that forces the target, if damaged by the arrow’s attack, to make a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + arcane archer level + Cha modifier) or be slain immediately.

It takes one day to make an arrow of death, and the arrow only functions for the arcane archer who created it. The arrow of death lasts no longer than one year, and the archer can only have one such arrow in existence at a time.

Special: Any prestige class feature that calculates a save DC using the class level should add only half the character’s class levels above 10th.


Auto Gained Abilities:
Lv 1 Enhance Arrow +1
Lv 2 Imbue Arrow
Lv 3 Enhance Arrow +2
Lv 4 Seeker Arrow
Lv 5 Enhance Arrow +3
Lv 6 Phase Arrow
Lv 7 Enhance Arrow +4
Lv 8 Hail of Arrows
Lv 9 Enhance Arrow +5
Lv 10 Arrow of Death




Epic Feats
Firing arrows at opponents standing at the horizon. Beheading opponents with your bare hands. Charming liches with the power of song. This is the stuff of the epic feat.

Like the regular feat, the epic feat is a special feature that either gives your character a new capability or improves one he already has. However, the epic feat moves the realm of capabilities from the mundane into the mythical.

Epic feats are available only to epic characters whose character level is 21st or higher. The epic character is largely defined by his selection of epic feats.


Superior Initiative
You can react even more quickly than normal in a fight.

You get a +4 bonus on initiative checks.

Perfect Health
You are immune to normal diseases and common poisons.

You are immune to all nonmagical diseases, as well as to all poisons whose Fortitude save DC is 25 or less.

Epic Fortitude
You have tremendously high fortitude.

You gain a +4 bonus on all Fortitude saving throws.

Epic Reflexes
You have tremendously fast reflexes.

You gain a +4 bonus on all Reflex saving throw.

Epic Will
You have tremendously strong willpower.

You gain a +4 bonus on all Will saving throws.

Epic Speed
You can move much more quickly than a normal person.

Your speed increases by 30 feet.

Special: This feat only functions when you are wearing medium armor, light armor, or no armor.

This feat does not stack with similar abilities granted by magic items or nonpermanent magical effects.

Epic Toughness
You are preternaturally tough.

You gain +20 hit points.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

Great Strength
Your muscle and physical power are greater than normal.

Great Constitution
Your health and endurance are greater than normal.

Your Constitution increases by 1 point.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

Great Intelligence
Your powers of reason and learning are greater than normal.

Your Intelligence increases by 1 point.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

Great Wisdom
Your willpower and insight are greater than normal.

Your Wisdom increases by 1 point.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

Great Charisma
Your powers of persuasion and leadership are greater than normal.

Your Charisma increases by 1 point.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

Blinding Speed
You can trigger short bursts of great speed.

You can act as if hasted for 5 rounds each day. The duration of the effect need not be consecutive rounds. Activating this power is a free action.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.


Epic Spell Focus
Your spells of the school of magic are far more potent than normal.

+1 DC for all saving throws against spells from the school of magic.

Epic Spell Penetration
Your spells are tremendously potent, breaking through spell resistance with ease.

You get a +2 bonus on caster level checks to beat a creature’s spell resistance.

Improved Combat Casting
You don't incur attacks of opportunity for casting spells when threatened.

Spell Knowledge
You learn two new arcane spells of any level up to the maximum level you can cast.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times.

Spell Stowaway
Choose a spell-like ability you possess or a spell you can cast. You gain the benefits of this magic whenever it is used near you.

You are attuned to the magic you chose. If another spellcaster within 300 feet of you uses this magic, you also immediately gain the magic’s effect as if it had been used on you by the same caster.

You must have direct line of effect to the spellcaster in order to gain the benefit of the attuned magic (though you do not have to know the spellcaster is present, and you can be flat-footed). The magic’s duration, effect, and other specifics are determined by its original caster’s level.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different spell or spell-like ability.


Epic Skill Focus
You have a legendary knack with the skill.

+10 bonus on all checks with the skill.

Epic Reputation
Your reputation provides great bonuses on interactions with others.

+4 bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, and Perform checks.


Rogue Exclusive:

Sneak Attack of Opportunity
Whenever your opponent lets his guard down, you can make a sneak attack.

Any attack of opportunity you make is considered a sneak attack.

Epic Dodge
You are able to evade attacks with exceptional agility.

Once per round, when struck by a weapon attack, you may automatically avoid all damage from the attack.


Barbarian Exclusive:

Incite Rage
When you enter a rage, you can incite a barbarian rage in any or all allies within 60 feet. (Any ally who doesn't wish to become enraged is unaffected.) The ally gains +4 to Strength, +4 to Constitution, and a +2 morale bonus on Will saves, but takes a –2 penalty to AC, for as long as you remain raging.

The rage of affected allies lasts a number of rounds equal to 3 + their Constitution modifier, regardless of whether they remain within 60 feet of you. This is otherwise identical with normal barbarian rage (including the fatigue at its end).

Special: This is a mind-affecting effect.

Thundering Rage
Your rage attacks can cause thunderous roars that can deafen opponents.

Any weapon you wield while in a rage is treated as a thundering weapon which deals an extra 1d8 points of sonic damage on a successful critical hit. If the weapon’s critical multiplier is x3, add 2d8 points instead, and if the multiplier is x4, add 3d8 points instead.

Besides, the target must make a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + 1/2 your level + your Strength modifier) or be deafened permanently.

This feat does not stack with similar abilities.


Monk Exclusive:

Keen Strike
Your unarmed strikes become as sharp as blades.

Your unarmed strike has a critical threat range of 18–20 and deals slashing damage. (At your option, any unarmed strike can deal bludgeoning damage instead, but cannot then take advantage of the enhanced threat range.)

This feat does not stack with similar abilities.

Vorpal Strike
Your unarmed strikes can behead your opponents.

Your unarmed strike is considered to be a slashing vorpal weapon. (At your option, any unarmed strike can do bludgeoning damage instead, but it loses the vorpal quality.)

This feat does not stack with similar abilities.

Vorpal: This potent and feared ability allows the weapon to sever the heads of those it strikes. Upon a roll of natural 20 (followed by a successful roll to confirm the critical hit), the weapon severs the opponent’s head (if it has one) from its body.

Some creatures, such as many aberrations and all oozes, have no heads. Others, such as golems and undead creatures other than vampires, are not affected by the loss of their heads. Most other creatures, however, die when their heads are cut off.

A vorpal weapon must be a slashing weapon.


Paladin Exclusive:

Holy Strike
Your attacks deal great damage to evil creatures.

Any weapon you wield is treated as a holy weapon (it is good-aligned and deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against creatures of evil alignment). If the weapon already has an alignment, this feat has no effect on the weapon.

This feat does not stack with similar abilities.

Improved Aura of Courage
Your aura of courage is stronger than normal.

Your aura of courage grants a +8 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects.

Widen Aura of Courage
Your aura of courage is wider than normal.

Your aura of courage extends to all allies within 100 feet of you.


Ranger Exclusive:

Improved Favored Enemy
Add +1 to the bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks and damage rolls against all your favored enemies.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

Bane of Enemies
Your attacks deal great damage to your favored enemies.

Any weapon you wield against one of your favored enemies is treated as a bane weapon for that creature type (thus, its enhancement bonus is increased by +2 and it deals +2d6 points of damage).

This feat does not stack with similar abilities.


Bard Exclusive:

Deafening Song
Your bardic music deafens those nearby.

You can use song or poetics to temporarily deafen all enemies within a 30-foot spread from you. A successful Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your class level + your Charisma modifier) negates the effect. The deafening effect lasts for as long as you continue the deafening song. You may keep up the deafening song for a maximum of 10 rounds.

Hindering Song
Your bardic music interferes with opposing spellcasters.

You can use song or poetics to hinder enemy spellcasters within a 30-foot spread from you. To successfully cast a spell within this area, a spellcaster must make a Concentration check as if she were casting defensively. You may keep up the hindering song for a maximum of 10 rounds.

Music of the Gods
You can use your bardic music to influence creatures immune to mind-affecting effects.

Your bardic music can affect even those normally immune to mind-affecting effects. However, such creatures gain a +10 bonus on their Will saves to resist such effects.




Removed Feats:
Greater Critical: +5% critical rate of all proficient weapons.
Power Critical: Deal additional one time of weapon damage on a critical hit.

Arrow of Death/Breath Weapon: When calculating DC, replace class level with character level / 2
Adjusted Smite Evil: +4 uses per day -> +2
(+5 modifications of house rules for old saves)


Others:
Adjusted Combat Reflexes: You may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity equal to your Dexterity bonus. With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
Any prestige class feature that calculates a save DC using the class level should add only half the character’s class levels above 10th. For instance, dragon disciple's breath weapon.
Added sonic damage type to Resist Energy, Protection from Energy, Energy Resistance, Elemental Resistance, Imbue Arrow
All characters automatically gain Disable Device and Open Lock skills
Optimized feats selection UI

so dev is gonna keep adding prestige classes (like the last 5 years in spite of 90%+ of the fanbase telling him to stop that crap already) and so on with no campaign mode whatsoever and keep milking the game for a good year or two. Okidok. It's a well crafted scheme I must say.

However the Dev did notice the clamor was getting out of hand so he cunningly added "next work roughly on: adventure mode but=> predecessors. A decent feint, last update he did the exact same thing.

Have any of you who played this also played Erannorth Chronicles?
In Erannorth Chronicles i played mostly the openworld mode and at the same time practically didn't touch any of the gauntlet modes.
In Low Magic Age i enjoyed the arena mod for a fair bit but had no desire to touch the open world whatsoever.
Can't really explain exactly why

Open world being generic boring shit and repetitive might be the thing you cant exactly pinpoint.

I found the resting mechanic to be the most interesting part of the battle/arena mode.

In this mode you need to beat the "boss" encounter until you can get into the next stage with some side battles you can tackle for extra experience, pretty simple.
However, the only free rest you get is the one you take automatically after beating the boss. Rest in between regular fights cost money and not a small amount.
Meaning that you actually need to consider if restoring spellslots is worth the cost of money that you could spend instead on this duper "limited sale" item that just popped up.
I feel like this mechanic alone has some potential.

v0.91.64 Patch Notes - Eldritch Knight, Feats, Spells, Terrains

05f82d6ec726e4ebc8a3726997aa03e3729b539f.jpg


New Prestige Class: Eldritch Knight
An arcane spellcaster who augments his magical skills with combat to create a deadly combination of weapons and magic.

Fearsome warriors and spellcasters, eldritch knights are rare among magic-users in their ability to wade into battle alongside fighters, barbarians, and other martial classes. Those who must face eldritch knights in combat fear them greatly, for their versatility on the battlefield is tremendous; against heavily armed and armored opponents they may level crippling spells, while opposing spellcasters meet their ends on an eldritch knights blade.

Base Classes:
Because the road to becoming an eldritch knight requires both martial prowess and arcane power, eldritch knights almost always begin their paths as multiclassed characters, with fighter/wizard the most common combination. A few eldritch knights were once bards, and even paladin/sorcerers aren’t unheard of. They may be found wherever studies of the arcane are as prevalent as martial training.

Role:
Eldritch knights blend the abilities of fighting classes and spellcasters, hurling magic at the enemy one moment and hewing down their opponents with steel the next. They are just as comfortable fighting in the thick of combat as they are casting spells at foes while remaining safely behind their compatriots. Their versatility makes them valuable allies when the nature of an upcoming battle is unclear.

Alignment:
The road to becoming an eldritch knight is as varied as the paths leading to apprenticeship under a wizard or a career as a soldier, and eldritch knights can therefore be of any alignment. Maintaining a balance between studies of arcane lore and martial techniques requires great discipline, however, and for that reason many favor lawful alignments.

Non-adventurers:
Eldritch knights can be found wherever there’s a good fight or the promise of arcane lore. They find higher-level fighters and wizards particularly interesting, and some eldritch knights apprentice themselves for a time to learn the finer points of arcane technique or weapons prowess. Eldritch knights split their time between physical training to become better soldiers and arcane study to learn more powerful spells. They tend to be driven individuals, because simultaneously perfecting their spellcasting and combat prowess requires immense time and effort. Eldritch knights are never truly at home among arcane spellcasters or elite soldiers, so many drift from wizard school to mercenary unit to band of adventurers.

Add a +2 bonus to all attack rolls you make using a proficient weapon.

Epic Weapon Specialization

Add +4 to all damage you deal using a proficient weapon. If the weapon is a ranged weapon, the damage bonus only applies if the target is within 30 feet.

Devastating Critical
With certain weapons, you are capable of killing any creature with a single strike.

When using a proficient melee weapon, whenever you score a critical hit the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Strength modifier) or die instantly. (Creatures immune to critical hits can't be affected by this feat.)

Improved Multiattack
The creature is particularly adept at using all its natural weapons at once.

The creature’s secondary attacks with natural weapons have no penalty.


Rogue Exclusive:
Lingering Damage
Your sneak attacks continue to deal damage even after you strike.

Any time you deal damage with a sneak attack, that target takes damage equal to your sneak attack bonus damage on your next turn as well.


Monk Exclusive:
Legendary Wrestler
You are exceptionally proficient at grappling.

You gain a +10 bonus on all grapple checks.

Special: A monk can qualify for this feat without having the Improved Unarmed Strike feat.


Bard Exclusive:
Inspire Excellence
You can improve the abilities of your comrades through your performance.

You can use song or poetics to grant a bonus to one ability score to your allies. To be affected, an ally must hear the bard sing for 1 full round. The effect lasts as long as the bard sings and for 5 rounds after the bard stops singing (or 5 rounds after the ally can no longer hear the bard). Each ally to be inspired gains a +4 competence bonus to the same ability score, which you must choose before you begin inspiring.

Special: Inspire excellence is a supernatural, mind-affecting ability. This feat is treated as a bardic music inspiration ability for purposes of feats that affect such abilities.

Epic Inspiration
Your bardic music provides greater inspiration than normally possible.

All competence bonuses, dodge bonuses, and morale bonuses granted by your bardic music ability increase by +1. If you have the inspire greatness bardic music ability, it grants one additional bonus HD.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.


Arcane Archer Exclusive:
Improved Arrow of Death
Add +2 to the DC of your arrows of death.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.


New Spells:
Dismissal
This spell forces an extraplanar creature back to its proper plane if it fails a special Will save (DC = spell's save DC - creature's level + your caster level).

If the spell is successful, the creature is instantly whisked away, but there is a 20% chance of actually sending the subject to a plane other than its own.

Banishment
A banishment spell is a more powerful version of the dismissal spell. It enables you to force multiple extraplanar creatures out of your home plane. As many as 2 levels of creatures per caster level can be banished.

Delay Poison
The subject becomes temporarily immune to poison.

Any poison in its system or any poison to which it is exposed during the spell's duration does not affect the subject until the spell's duration has expired.

Delay poison does not cure any damage that poison may have already done.

Light
This spell causes an object to glow like a torch, shedding bright light in a 20-foot radius (and dim light for an additional 20 feet) from the point you touch.

The effect is immobile, but it can be cast on a movable object.

Light taken into an area of magical darkness does not function.

Darkness
This spell causes an object to radiate shadowy illumination out to a 20-foot radius. All creatures in the area gain concealment (20% miss chance). Even creatures that can normally see in such conditions (such as with darkvision or low-light vision) have the miss chance in an area shrouded in magical darkness.

Normal lights (torches, candles, lanterns, and so forth) are incapable of brightening the area, as are light spells of lower level. Higher level light spells are not affected by darkness.

If darkness is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a lightproof covering, the spell's effect is blocked until the covering is removed.

Daylight
The object touched sheds light as bright as full daylight in a 60-foot radius, and dim light for an additional 60 feet beyond that.

Creatures that take penalties in bright light also take them while within the radius of this magical light. Despite its name, this spell is not the equivalent of daylight for the purposes of creatures that are damaged or destroyed by bright light.

If daylight is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a light-proof covering, the spell's effects are blocked until the covering is removed.

Daylight brought into an area of magical darkness (or vice versa) is temporarily negated, so that the otherwise prevailing light conditions exist in the overlapping areas of effect.

Deeper Darkness
This spell functions like darkness, except that the object radiates shadowy illumination in a 60-foot radius and the darkness lasts longer.

Daylight brought into an area of deeper darkness (or vice versa) is temporarily negated, so that the otherwise prevailing light conditions exist in the overlapping areas of effect.

Dancing Lights
This spell creates a faintly glowing, vaguely humanoid shape, shedding light as a torch.

Each round, it automatically moves toward the dark area.

Faerie Fire
A pale glow surrounds and outlines the subjects. Outlined subjects shed light as candles. The faerie fire can be blue, green, or violet.

Outlined creatures do not benefit from the concealment normally provided by darkness (though a 2nd-level or higher magical darkness effect functions normally), blur, displacement, invisibility, or similar effects.

The faerie fire does not cause any harm to the objects or creatures thus outlined. The light is too dim to have any special effect on undead or dark-dwelling creatures vulnerable to light.

Continual Flame
A flame, equivalent in brightness to a torch, springs forth from an object that you touch.

The effect looks like a regular flame, but it creates no heat and doesn't use oxygen.

A continual flame can be covered and hidden but not smothered or quenched.


Others:
Horrid Wilting: affects enemies only
Terrifying Rage: reduced rounds of effect: 4d6 -> 1d4
Canny Defense, Elaborate Parry: also applies to "armed" unarmed attacks or natural weapons
Arrow of Death DC: ... + Cha modifier -> max of Int or Cha modifier
Fixed: Spell Knowledge related bugs
Fixed: Etherealness may cause AI freezes
Fixed: charmed creatures make AOs against wrong targets
Fixed: trigger effect area on ground while flying
Fixed: level up spells UI sometimes show high-level spells wrongly

Forest Terrain
Forest terrain can be divided into three categories: sparse, medium, and dense. An immense forest could have all three categories within its borders, with more sparse terrain at the outer edge of the forest and dense forest at its heart.

Marsh Terrain
Two categories of marsh exist: relatively dry moors and watery swamps. Both are often bordered by lakes, which effectively are a third category of terrain found in marshes.

Hills Terrain
A hill can exist in most other types of terrain, but hills can also dominate the landscape. Hills terrain is divided into two categories: gentle hills and rugged hills. Hills terrain often serves as a transition zone between rugged terrain such as mountains and flat terrain such as plains.

Mountain Terrain
The three mountain terrain categories are alpine meadows, rugged mountains, and forbidding mountains. As characters ascend into a mountainous area, they’re likely to face each terrain category in turn, beginning with alpine meadows, extending through rugged mountains, and reaching forbidding mountains near the summit.

Desert Terrain
Desert terrain exists in warm, temperate, and cold climates, but all deserts share one common trait: little rain. The three categories of desert terrain are tundra (cold deserts), rocky desert (often temperate), and sandy desert (often warm).

Plains Terrain
Plains come in three categories: farms, grasslands, and battlefields. Farms are common in settled areas, of course, while grasslands represent untamed plains. The battlefields where large armies clash are temporary places, usually reclaimed by natural vegetation or the farmer’s plow. Battlefields represent a third terrain category because adventurers tend to spend a lot of time there, not because they’re particularly prevalent.

Aquatic Terrain
Aquatic terrain is the least hospitable to most PCs, because they can’t breathe there. Aquatic terrain doesn’t offer the variety that land terrain does. Aquatic terrain can be simply divided into two categories: flowing water (such as streams and rivers) and nonflowing water (such as lakes and oceans).

v0.91.65 Patch Notes - Elemental Lord, New Adventure #2

ac9bd99292e4fd4b9220c42fa6dc751fe3cf817f.jpg


New Prestige Class: Elemental Lord
An arcane spellcaster who has a powerful elemental companion and can turn himself into an elemental.
For arcane spellcasters, the endless mysteries contained in the Planes have a fatal allure, especially those of the Elemental Planes. Summon elemental spells or rituals known to adventurers, and the overwhelming combat advantage brought by a variety of powerful elemental allies, all attracted many spellcasters to indulge in.

The elemental lord takes it a step further. Years of intense research and even fieldwork have made the elemental lord more knowledgeable about all aspects of elementals than other spellcasters. He has studied the ways, means, origins, and formation of elementals, and instinctively knows an elemental’s strengths and develops an unbreakable bond with a powerful elemental companion.

Elemental companions are usually summoned through spells or rituals, and then bargained and contracted for a longer-term partnership. However, rumor has it that some radical elemental lords are deeply uncomfortable with this, and they consider it too hasty, even a sacrilege to do so. They prefer to spend huge amounts of resources, through various means, to reach the Elemental Planes, in order to an official visit and negotiate a partnership with the elemental of their choice, believing that the bond established in this way is more trustworthy.

Either way, as this bond deepens over time, the elemental lords kinship with the elemental companion deepens, blurring the line between master and servant. Eventually, the journey of discovery made both stronger, and even the elemental lord himself transformed into an elemental and became part of the elemental forces.

Base Classes:
The knowledge required to learn the secrets of the Planes is arcane in nature, and thus this prestige class is filled mostly with wizards and sorcerers — though anyone else who meets the requirements may choose to take the journey of an elemental lord.

Role:
Although rarely seen in adventure groups, once an elemental lord decided to become part of a group, with his powerful elemental companion, uncanny traits, and impressive spellcasting ability, in the front line or back row of the battlefield can be at ease, he will soon become reliable for other members.

Alignment:
Similar to most arcane spellcasters who are addicted to a certain field of study, elemental lords spend their lives in pursuit of the mysteries of the Planes and the way to live in harmony with elementals. They have no time for morals and ethics, which are meaningless to them, so they tend to be neutral, neutral good, or neutral evil.

Non-adventurers:
With a reliable elemental companion by his side, the elemental lord usually embarks on the journey of discovery alone, no need to group with other adventurers, unless as a last resort. Most adventurer groups certainly welcome the addition of an elemental lord (plus a powerful ally).

Bonus Feats:

Bonus Spellcasting Level:
When leveling up this class, the effective spellcasting level of a spellcasting class is also increased.


Class Abilities:
Elemental Companion
At 1st level, an elemental lord picks his element of study: air, earth, fire, or water. This choice cannot be changed.

At the same time, the elemental lord gains an elemental companion of the type chosen that starts at Medium size. It grows larger every two levels thereafter (3, 5, 7...). At 9th level it becomes an elder elemental.

The elementals level is always equal to the masters arcane level. If the elemental dies, the elemental lord takes damage equal to the elementals level, and also takes 1d4 points of damage to each ability score.

Elemental Form
An elemental lord gains the ability to turn himself into an elemental three times per day.

This elemental is an elder elemental of the elemental lord’s element of study, and its level is equal to the elemental lord’s arcane level.

The effect lasts for 12 hours, or until the elemental lord changes back.

Elemental Type
Over time, an elemental lord slowly turns into an elemental, gaining an elementals traits along the way.

At 2nd level, he gains darkvision 60 ft.

At 4th level, he becomes immune to sleep effects.

At 6th level, he becomes immune to poison.

At 8th level, he becomes immune to paralysis and stunning.

At 10th level, the elemental lord’s type changes to elemental, and he gains the subtype of the appropriate element. He becomes so much like an elemental that he loses the normal human orientation toward “front” and “back.” Like an elemental, he can’t be flanked and is no longer subject to critical hits.

Resistance/Immunity to Energy
An elemental lord gains resistance against the energy type associated with his element of study (air: electricity, earth: acid, fire: fire, and water: cold).

At 1st level, this resistance is 5. It increases by 5 every two levels thereafter (3, 5, 7...). At 9th level, the elemental lord gains immunity to the energy type in question.

Damage Reduction
A creature with this special quality ignores damage from most weapons and natural attacks. Wounds heal immediately, or the weapon bounces off harmlessly (in either case, the opponent knows the attack was ineffective), unless the attack is from a certain kind of weapon.


Auto Gained Abilities:
Lv 1 Elemental Companion (Medium), Resistance to Energy 5
Lv 2 Darkvision 60 ft., Damage Reduction 1/-
Lv 3 Elemental Companion (Large), Resistance to Energy 10

v0.91.66 Patch Notes - Lizard Scion, Feats, New Adventure Preview #3

6620b6c09311c6e83943a910bea78558f9b34ce0.jpg


New Player Race: Lizard Scion
Every few generations, a lizard scion is born to a lizardfolk tribe. With twice the life span of a typical lizardfolk and a large and muscular stature, a scion typically rises to become the leader of her tribe.

Lizardfolk show great—often unquestioning—devotion to scions, believing they are blessings from the spirits and divine in nature. In many ways, tribes see them as living monuments to the lost greatness of their people, singing songs of an era when every lizardfolk was as large and impressive as the scion.

Some lizard scions become great protectors and voices of wisdom among their people, leading a tribe to previously unknown accomplishments and stability within its hidden enclave. Others attempt to build alliances with other lizardfolk tribes or even unite two tribes into one.


Racial Traits:
As living monuments to the lost greatness of their people, lizard scions has all racial traits of lizardfolk, with some exceptions.

+4 Str, +2 Dex, +4 Con, +2 Wis, +2 Cha, -2 Int:
Compared with typical lizardfolk, lizard scions are stronger and tougher, as well as flexible and wise, with leadership qualities.

Racial Hit Dice:
A lizardfolk begins with two levels of humanoid, which provide 2d8 Hit Dice.

Racial Skills:
A lizardfolk’s humanoid levels give it skill points equal to 5 x (2 + Int modifier). Its class skills are Balance, Jump, and Swim. Because of their tails, lizardfolk have a +4 racial bonus on Jump, Swim, and Balance checks.

Racial Feats:
A lizardfolk’s humanoid levels give it one feat.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency:
Proficient with simple weapons and shields.

Armor:
+8 natural armor bonus.

Natural Weapons:
2 claws (1d6) and bite (1d8).

Lizardfolk Blood (Ex):
A lizard scion counts as a lizardfolk for all effects related to race.

Level Adjustment:
+3. Powerful races with racial Hit Dice are more special.

Artisan Camps
Settlements such as villages and cities usually have one or more artisan camps nearby. These camps are workplaces and temporary residences for artisans such as woodcutters, miners, hunters, and tanners, while farms are workplaces for other commoners such as farmers, herders, and herbalists.

Adventurers can trade with these NPCs or hire them to produce specific resources, or even rent these workplaces for use by skill specialists in their party.

This dev is really scummy... he keeps doing whatever he wants and each "patch notes" he adds a few breadcrumbs related to the adventure mode, but if you look carefully, you will notice that its just superficial, zero substance, while he keeps adding races/feats/prestige classes as always.

Probably its easy to code and easy to fool new buyers.

v0.91.67 Patch Notes - Assassin, New Adventure Preview #4

0044ccdd3d392c0153697d38acfeee2e7668ee0a.jpg

New Prestige Class: Assassin
A remorseless murderer who kills for money and the sheer thrill of death-dealing.
A mercenary undertaking his task with cold, professional detachment, the assassin is equally adept at espionage, bounty hunting, and terrorism. At his core, an assassin is an artisan, and his medium is death. Trained in a variety of killing techniques, assassins are among the most feared classes.

The assassin is the master of dealing quick, lethal blows. Assassins also excel at infiltration and disguise. Assassins often function as spies, informants, killers for hire, or agents of vengeance. Their training in anatomy, stealth, poison, and the dark arts allows them to carry out missions of death with shocking, terrifying precision.

Base Classes:
Most rogues, monks, and bards who choose this class become examples of the classic assassin skulking in the shadows with a blade carrying certain death. Fighters, ex-paladins, rangers, druids, and barbarians operate as warrior assassins, with as much ability to kill in combat as from the shadows. Sorcerers, wizards, and clerics may be the most terrifying assassins of all, for with their spells they can infiltrate and slay with even greater impunity. While nearly any class is capable of becoming an assassin, rogues suit the part more than any other, from both an ability viewpoint and an ideological one. Though they make excellent allies during combat, assassins excel in more clandestine situations, and the best assassins are the ones the victims never knew existed.

Role:
Assassins tend to be loners by nature, seeing companions as liabilities at best. Sometimes an assassins missions put him in the company of adventurers for long stretches at a time, but few people are comfortable trusting a professional assassin to watch their backs in a fight, and are more likely to let the emotionless killer scout ahead or help prepare ambushes.

Alignment:
Due to its necessary selfishness and callous indifference toward taking lives, the assassin class attracts those with evil alignments more than any others. Because the profession requires a degree of self-discipline, chaotic characters are ill suited to becoming these shadowy killers. Neutral characters sometimes become assassins, frequently thinking of themselves as simple professionals performing a job, yet the nature of their duties inevitably pushes them toward an evil alignment.

Non-adventurers:
Assassins work in guilds or secret societies found hidden in cities or based in remote fortresses in the wilderness. Sometimes they serve more powerful evil characters singly or in a group. Occasionally an assassin works alone, but only the most capable are willing to operate without any sort of support or backup.


Prerequisites:
Alignment:
Evil.
Skills:
Disguise 4 ranks, Hide 8 ranks, Move Silently 8 ranks.
Special:
Kill someone for no other reason than to join the assassins.


Class Features:
Level Limit:
10.
Hit Dice:
d6.
Base Attack Bonus:
Average.
Good Saves:
Reflex.
Key Abilities:
Dexterity, Strength, Constitution.

Class Skills:
Balance, Bluff, Climb, Craft, Decipher Script, Diplomacy, Disable Device, Disguise, Escape Artist, Forgery, Gather Information, Hide, Intimidate, Jump, Listen, Move Silently, Open Lock, Search, Sense Motive, Sleight of Hand, Spot, Swim, Tumble, Use Magic Device, Use Rope.
Skill Points per Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Weapon Proficiency:
Crossbow (hand, light, or heavy), dagger, dart, rapier, sap, shortbow, and short sword.
Armor Proficiency:
Light armor.

Bonus Feats:
Gains an extra feat every 4 levels after 10th level (14, 18...).

Spells:
Assassins cast limited arcane spells with Intelligence and need not prepare in advance.


Class Abilities:
Death Attack
If an assassin studies his victim for 3 rounds and then makes a sneak attack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage, the sneak attack has an additional effect: If the victim fails a Fortitude save (DC 10 + the assassin’s class level + the assassin’s Int modifier), he dies.

While studying the victim, the assassin can undertake other actions so long as his attention stays focused on the target, but cannot use attack actions on the victim.

Once the assassin has completed the 3 rounds of study, he must make the death attack within the next 3 rounds. If a death attack is attempted and fails (the victim makes his save) or if the assassin does not launch the attack within 3 rounds of completing the study, 3 new rounds of study are required before he can attempt another death attack.

Special: Any prestige class feature that calculates a save DC using the class level should add only half the character’s class levels above 10th.

Sneak Attack
If a rogue (or any other class with this ability) can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.

The rogue’s attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied.

Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.

A rogue can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies — undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures lack vital areas to attack. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to sneak attacks. The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.

Save Bonus against Poison
The assassin gains a natural saving throw bonus to all poisons gained at 2nd level that increases by +1 for every two additional levels the assassin gains.

Uncanny Dodge
Retains Dex bonus to AC even flat-footed, except immobilized.

Special: When a character would gain uncanny dodge a second time (for her second class), she instead gains improved uncanny dodge, if she does not already have it.

Improved Uncanny Dodge
You can no longer be flanked (so rogues cannot use flank attacks to sneak attack you), unless the attacker has at least 4 rogue levels higher than the sum of your class levels that gained uncanny dodge.


Auto Gained Abilities:
Lv 1 Sneak Attack +1d6, Death Attack

New Adventure Mode Dev Preview #4:
Dungeons
As common adventuring locations, dungeons can be subdivided into various types, such as caves, ruins, remnants, temples, towers, and graveyards, etc.

These dungeons have different shapes and are located in different terrain environments, and also affect the types of monsters inhabiting them; for example, animals usually inhabit caves, while undead creatures are more likely to roam around graveyards.

v0.91.69 Patch Notes - Minotaur, New Adventure Preview #6

5bfd3a5730978a51ec6092f20ae77d0da856b018.jpg

New Player Race: Minotaur
With the body of a powerfully built man and a bulls head, a minotaur stands more than 7 feet tall and weighs about 700 pounds.
Nothing holds a grudge like a minotaur. Many cultures have legends of how the first minotaurs were created by vengeful or slighted gods who punished humans by twisting their forms, robbing them of their intellects and beauty, and giving them the heads of bulls.

Yet most modern minotaurs hold these legends in contempt and believe that they are not divine mockeries but divine paragons created by a potent and cruel demon lord named Baphomet.

Racial Hit Dice:
A minotaur begins with six levels of monstrous humanoid, which provide 6d8 Hit Dice.

Racial Skills:
A minotaur’s monstrous humanoid levels give it skill points equal to 9 x (2 + Int modifier). Its class skills are Intimidate, Jump, Listen, Search, and Spot. Minotaurs have a +4 racial bonus on Search, Spot, and Listen checks.

Racial Feats:
A minotaur’s monstrous humanoid levels give it three feats.

Armor:
+5 natural armor bonus.

Natural Weapons:
Gore (1d8).

Weapon Proficiency:
Proficient with the greataxe and all simple weapons.

Special Qualities:
Powerful Charge, Natural Cunning, Scent.

Level Adjustment:
+2. Powerful races with racial Hit Dice are more special.


Powerful Charge
A minotaur typically begins a battle by charging at an opponent, lowering its head to bring its mighty horns into play.

Add additional twice gore damage to the first charge of each battle.

Natural Cunning
Although minotaurs are not especially intelligent, they possess innate cunning and logical ability.

This gives them immunity to maze spells, prevents them from ever becoming lost, and enables them to track enemies.

Further, they are never caught flat-footed.

Minor privilege costs reduced to 25%

New Adventure Mode Dev Preview #6:
Non-Adventurers
Beyond adventurers, who are similar to player characters, numerous non-adventurer folk populate the game as significant components of the world, forming various social strata. They range from affluent officials and nobles, destitute refugees and beggars, to a large number of practitioners from all walks of life.

Regarding demographic distribution, large cities own aristocrats, alchemists, librarians and other prominent intellectuals, patrolling guards and traveling merchants outside the towns, while in villages live farmers, blacksmiths, and the like. Even in the wild, you can meet woodcutters, miners or hunters and other workers who are working outside.

These non-adventurers interact with adventurers through diverse means, ranging from trading to offering services or seeking assistance of adventurers.

In human-dominated communities, non-adventurers of other races are not rare. However, the jobs they engage in usually align with their peculiar racial traits and traditions. For instance, while the presence of few dwarf blacksmiths or miners in a human town wouldn't be surprising, the sight of an elf lumberjack would really go viral as a joke.

Non-adventurers typically hail from core races. Other individuals of subraces and uncommon races are relatively scarce in number and predominantly exist as adventurers.
