Re: Vives Spell Changes (was v2-59-9a changes)
Posted: 05 Nov 2005 06:00 PM

- hammer of the gods does more damage vs outsiders

Dealt the Maximum possible damage at 4d8 on multiple occasions, but cannot confirm if it is truly working as intended.


- divine power: strength increase is 6, increases discipline skill by caster level

Strength is increased, but discipline is unaffected except for the Strength bonus(At least on the character sheet, there is skill bonus effect yet I cannot seem to find what it is increasing)


- silence lasts one turn per level, not one round per level, makes friendlies immune to sonic dmg while under its effects, not just hostiles.

Does not last in turns but rounds, yet does seem to cause immunity to sonic damage.


- divine favour does divine, not magical damage.

Confirmed.


- casting bane is now considered a harmful action

Confirmed.


- protection from evil/good can now be extended properly

Confirmed.

Thanks a lot Glor!

should work better now. there are multiple things to check to see if something is an outsider and I was only checking one. let me know what creature you try it on if you think there is a problem next time.


- divine power: strength increase is 6, increases discipline skill by caster level

Strength is increased, but discipline is unaffected except for the Strength bonus(At least on the character sheet, there is skill bonus effect yet I cannot seem to find what it is increasing)


duh..typo...fixed. it was boosting spot instead of discipline.


- silence lasts one turn per level, not one round per level, makes friendlies immune to sonic dmg while under its effects, not just hostiles.

fixed.

All are with the same 4d8 damage of level 9
Green Slaad: 42 Divine damage
Quasit: 38 Divine damage and 48 Divine damage
Imp: 38 Divine damage

It does seem that it is working correctly now, though I've yet to safely try it on other kinds of Outsiders.
Edit:(Oh out of curosity, should we countinue to use this thread or or the other one for this sort of stuff?)

Alrighty then, sounds good.
While I'm at it though..

(ok) improved invisibility works as the 3e spell. After combat, you become invisible again


It works fine for mages as far as I have seen, but does not for a cleric who has taken the Trickery Domain.

What spell does the trickery domain give? invisibility? or improved invisibility?

I can't see in the other thread that the circles and spheres have been modifief so they would work. If it hasn't, this may be the solution:

http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Scripts.Detail&id=2229

Fixes issues with the AoE spells Invisibilty Sphere, Circle of Protection Against Good, Circle of Protection Against Evil, Silence, Battletide and Dirge. The AoE stays with the center of the effect. In other words, it doesn't dispell after moving five feet.

I've used Circle of Protection Against Evil and Invisibilty Sphere without to much problem, though they do seem to lag behind even though they do move.

Currently, if you move *slowly* they will continue to work, usually.

PD: will check their fix and see if it is better than the one I currently have.

*nods* If you walk, they work - though I did think Bioware fixed this in a patch. Maybe they borked it again.

Currently not available as scrolls, so only available at level-up at this point in time.

There is a lot of work yet to be done regarding scrolls (eg making them useable by classes that can now cast spells they previously could not... druids getting Darkfire is an example, they can't use the scroll).

However, scrolls are sitting very, very low on the priority list.

v2-96-3 change
Posted: 04 Jan 2006 02:03 PM
Petrification is no longer permanent (until reset).

It last a period of time that depends on the strength of the monster petrifying you.

As a mid-level wizard, I would suggest a 'council of wizards, of sorts, at some point IG to go through what 'knowledge' is not out there. It won't take me months to level up, and it doesn't incur a huge xp penalty to scribe a scroll. If we were able to swap our spells around and if I knew what spells I was never going to find IG, I would choose my new ones appropriately. Just a thought.

I remember some time ago (months even?) the Lady Archmagess Solitaire held a meeting at Ka'azim for the many new apprentices and mages of the land. I didn't attend, but I still thought it was a great idea. Point being that it shouldn't be too difficult to organize if someone was willing to do it.

CHOO CHOO!
