NWN2 :: Spell, Class, and Feat Changes

Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2007 12:59 pm

Please note that the changes listed below are for the most part now adopted in the 1.12 spell fix which adopted Player1's fixes. Dex has many other bug fixes in addition to Player1's but these fixes make the spells match the spell description.

Changes specific to dex at this moment mainly involve the following spells
True Seeing - Just boosts spot, gives see invisible, and infravision
Bigby Hand Line of spells is changed.
IGMS line of spells is reduced in power.
Divine Power is reduced in power.
Undead Summons are empowered, and based on caster level and feats.
Warlock blasts are boosted - will work on fixing the warlock to match more powerful PNP version.
Radial versions of dispel and silence.
Invisibility Purge actually works like an AOE that prevents invisibility for the duration.
Sacred flames - damage is supposed to be half fire, and half divine but the fire damage acted like divine damage. Half the damage was removed until such time as the damage can be is fixed.
Energy Immunity only will protect one element at a time.

The following changes are in effect, but need to be removed from this list since so many are official, or are just minor tweaks.

TRUE SIGHT CHANGES

( Notes added to dex.tlk when it's released )

Spell Changes

AOE SPELL STACK CHANGES

To prevent the lag caused by Area of Effect spell spamming a stack has been implemented. By default, a caster may have 2 AOE spells on the stack. An AOE spell is cleared off the stack after 8 rounds. So if you cast 1 AOE every 4 rounds you will never hit the stack limit. If you cast one per round in a row, the 3rd one will fail and you won't succeed another AOE spell for 9 rounds until the first one pops off the stack.

Your base concentration skill will increase the stack size and duration. For every 10 points in your base (BASE only no item/spell bonuses) concentration skill, your stack size will go up by +1 and the duration will go up by +2. So with a base conc of 10, you can have 3 spells on the stack with a pop time of 10 rounds, and a base conc of 20 allows 4 spells on the stack per 12 rounds and so on.

Here's the spells I''m calling AOE at this time:

Code:

SPELL_ACID_FOG
SPELL_CLOUD_OF_BEWILDERMENT
SPELL_CLOUDKILL
SPELL_CREEPING_DOOM
SPELL_DARKNESS
SPELL_ENTANGLE
SPELL_EVARDS_BLACK_TENTACLES
SPELL_GLYPH_OF_WARDING
SPELL_GREASE
SPELL_GREATER_SHADOW_CONJURATION_WEB
SPELL_I_CHILLING_TENTACLES
SPELL_I_TENACIOUS_PLAGUE
SPELL_I_WALL_OF_PERILOUS_FLAME
SPELL_INCENDIARY_CLOUD
SPELL_MIND_FOG
SPELL_SHADES_WALL_OF_FIRE
SPELL_SHADOW_CONJURATION_DARKNESS
SPELL_SPIKE_GROWTH
SPELL_STINKING_CLOUD
SPELL_STONEHOLD
SPELL_STORM_OF_VENGEANCE
SPELL_VINE_MINE_CAMOUFLAGE
SPELL_VINE_MINE_ENTANGLE
SPELL_WALL_OF_FIRE
SPELL_WEB

I think this is a fair way to limit the AOE's going on at once. Drop some feedback in either case. If you think any additional spells should be on here or one removed, let me know.

DISPELL AND BREACH CHANGES

The DC to dispel an effect is calculated as wrote:

Code:

Effect DC = 70 + AdjurationDefenseBonus(3) + CreatorLevel * 2 + CreatorStatBonus

The Caster roll to beat this DC is calculated as wrote:

Code:

Caster Roll = d100() + AdjurationFocuses(3-6) + CasterLevel * 2 + CasterStatBonus - 5 * (9-DispelLevel)

# Effects Dispelled by Spell wrote:

Code:

Spell Single AoE Lvl Special

Imbue Arrow
Three times per day, a 2nd-level archer may choose to fire a special arrow imbued with the fireball spell.

CHANGES
Twisted Evil

Add a cool down period - 120 seconds
Twisted Evil

Add Range Touch Attack critical hit check to multiply damage by 3.

Arrow of Death
The pinnacle of the arcane archer's ability, at 10th level they may fire a special arrow imbued with powerful necromantic magic. A successful Ranged Touch Attack is required for the Arrow hit, and a critical RTA multiples the Arrow damage by 3. If the target is hit, it must immediately make a Fortitude save (DC 20) or be slain. Even if it passes its saving throw, it takes damage from the arrow as normal. This ability may be used once per day.

CHANGES

DC = 10 + AA Level + CasterModifer + Necromancy DC Bonuses; crit hit adds +2 to DC
Twisted Evil

Add a cool down period - 120 seconds

DEX 2 :: Prestige Classes Unlocked

Arcane Archer
You may now select up to 15 levels of AA
Enhance arrow continues to inrease by +1 at odd levels
Remember to refer to the DEX 2 Class, Spell, Feat changes thread when considering AA
http://www.dungeoneternal.com/phpBB2/ftopic4978.php
Imbue arrow DC, Seeker Arrow Damage, Arrow of Death DC and Damage will continue to scale up
Disclaimer: Will change the dispell DC (of the DEX 2 custom modified Seeker Arrow feat) to keep it in line with where it is now.

Eldritch Knight
You may now select up to 20 levels of EK
CR continues to scale as it did in first ten levels (9/10)
Max BAB, More HP, higher fort saves (but lower will saves)
Bonus feats at levels 14 and 18

ASSASSIN:
You may now chose up to 20 levels of assassin.
All of their benefits are scaled:
Use Poison Check,
Improved Uncanny Dodge benefit (immune to sneak damage by creatures with less than their assassin level +4),
Death attack DC,
Sneak Damage,
Poison Resistance,
and Bonus Feats at levels 14 and 18).
Future empowerments to assassins will include assassin spell books (per Kaedrin’s Assassin Spellbook Upgrade project) with Caster Level equal to Assassin Level, and will attempt to fix (or get OEI to fix) death attack so that it is not ignored by so many protections.

DWARVEN DEFENDER:
You may now chose up to 14 levels of Dwarven Defender.
Most of their benefits continue to scale:
One use of defensive stance per two levels, which OEI fixed and it is now working properly,
Damage Reduction an additional 3/- at level 14 (total 12/- at level 14),
They gain a bonus feat at level 14.
Improved Defense 5 feat (which scaled, would provide an additional +1 to dodge AC at level 13) can not be realized at this time (though they still get 1 through 4 through ten levels). We could not get to increase on scale.
I didn’t want to unlock beyond 14 levels yet because these are probably less in need of an empowerment than their RDD tank counterparts.

More unlocked Prestige Classes to come very soon... Razz
