Change: March Changes

Key Changes

• Telepathy mana costs have been reduced.
  • cabal chat is now 20 from 80.
  • tells are now 10 from 30.
  • replies are now 10 from 20.
  • says are now 20 from 30.
  • clan chat, and any other mode of communication stays at 0.
• New note changes!
  • note copy - any player can use note copy, it copies the subject, and text of the note # they choose. Syntax: note copy <note #>
  • note fwd|forward <#> [recipient] - any immortal can now use note fwd, it copies every aspect of the note, including who its from. IMMs of course see original senders, but this is useful to forward notes from one IMM to another character if needed.
• Applications have been recoded so players can do: app list, and see their applications they have waiting to be approved. Exception are cabal applications, which are sent to a different spool.
• Journals have also been recoded for IMMs. Journal list <char> shows a list of journals for a given character. Journal read <character> <#> will read the number from the journal list of the character you specify.
  • Journal list shows all journals sent in the last 14 days to IMMs, but shows all journals sent by characters themselves. This makes it so journals don't flood IMMs, and it's less likely we'll MISS a journal.
• Divine favor gain has been changed for Avatars, to give them incentive to continue killing evil characters past their max_level. Unfortunately, specifics can't be divulged here.
• Cancellation spell now only returns spell affecting you - if your argument returns a spell that isn't affecting you, it returns, "That spell isn't affecting you."
  • For instance, before, if you were affected by 'holy hands', and typed 'c cancel 'holy'', you'd get: You aren't affect by holy word.
  • Now, when you type the same above, and you're affect by holy hands, it cancels that spell before checking for holy word (or any other spell). Thanks to Kyzarius for this suggestion.
• Psionicists charmies no longer benefit from mirage.
• Re-added old spell to psionicist arsenal: There Not There.
• Auto-shield-bash further changed. More emphases on heavier shields, and lighter shields. Regular skill, 'shield bash' unaffected - and usually stronger if used rather than just hoping for an auto-shield-bash.
  • When landed, shield basher loses third, and fourth attack for the call to shield bash, just for that round.
• Bards lose dual wield, dual parry, and ability to make instruments one-handed.
  • All one-handed instruments have been fixed to twohands with code checks.
• Bards spell level has been increased to allow easier song landing.
• Bards thac0 has been decreased (made better)
• Duergar and Dwarf are no longer race selections for Bard.
• You will now gain CP even when not in a cabal.
  • CP gains through quests, and other means will be accumulated up until you are in a cabal.
  • Upon getting into a cabal, you'll have all CPs accumulated while not caballed.
  • This means you don't have to wait to go to Gear, or any other Endgame area until after you're caballed.
• String edit commands have been updated when you're in the append_string editor. (when you type desc edit, not edit, etc)
  • .rl - replaces a line
  • .d - deletes a line
  • .i - inserts a line
  • .s has been updated to show line numbers.
