Change: December Changes

Key Changes

Wizlist has been updated.

An OOC rule summary has been added to Divine Mandates, please read.

The qrace/class behavior thread on Divine Mandates has been deleted. If regular ganging / tagging occurs we will step in as with every other non-q character. Other threads in the Divine Mandate section have also been deleted as they are incorporated in the new OOC rule summary thread.

• Undead changes:
  • gained immunity to piercing attacks, including (most) arrows (October)
  • race undead now create a corpse, items go to cabal pit (liches / vamps create a corpse unless hardcore but no spirits go to pit) (October)
• Ninja changes:
  • Ikuzachi now can be saved against. New messages will show whether a victim is
    burdened by the spirits, or can't be burdened anymore. Victim will see new msgs
    too.
  • caltraps is now similar to the blademaster strike, giving HR -5 but no longer further affects like reduced dexterity (unless target is not flying)
  • kenjutsu and masharu trance adjusted (october), kenjutsu works like a poor man's pugil now
  • endure and bless cannot be used in conjunction with one-another any more
  • Double Sheath:
    • Halved two-handed skill effectiveness for DS ninjas (october)
    • DS doublesheath restriction to exotics removed (october)
  • Lotus Scourge:
    • Added skill antidote (cure poison 100%, plague at a chance) 
    • Lotus scourge ninja shurikens gain 'WOUND' properties (similar to thief throw).
  • Shadow Arts:
    • SA ninjas now only have a 0-1 tick duration on broken wrist affect (october)

To our ninja players: logs as well as fine tuning suggestions are still welcome. We'd especially like to see some logs while a 2handed spear / sword is used.

• new Imm command to change pet names created
• defuse now drops you out of shadowform / treeform
• duration of mounted for nightmare adjusted to be more in concert with other mounts
• haste can no longer be used offensively (can only be cast on followers or group members)
• Imm command finger updated and made more useful
• undead quest: wording changed slightly to be less obtuse, adjusted a mob slightly to be more forgiving to low level chars
• you can see how many items are in a container now
• close combat adjusted to work for giant sized races as well (trip avoidance as long as they are not enlarged)
• Xymerria pit works now and connects properly to newbie arena
