Arelith Updates!

From Kalopsia

DIVINE CHAMPION

• Divine Wrath: At class level 15 or higher, Divine Wrath also applies Divine Might if the character has the feat and sufficient piety.
• Passive Bonuses:
  • Reduced the Charisma thresholds to unlock passive AB by 1 (to 20 and 24, respectively).
  • Once per round, scoring a critical hit with a melee weapon will ...
    • ... extend the duration of Divine Wrath by 2 seconds if the ability is active.
    • ... reduce the cooldown of Divine Wrath by 2 seconds if the ability is inactive and on cooldown.
    • Weapons with a base threat range of 20/x3 apply 3 second adjustments instead of the above 2 seconds.
• Domain Feat: At level 10, Divine Champions can use the -domain command to select one domain feat of their choice. They receive all corresponding passive bonuses, languages and use their Champion levels for class level requirements of associated features.
  • Domain Powers can be activated via the radial menu. Their CL is 10 + Champion levels or the character's total level, whichever is lower.
  • Note: Clerics cannot acquire a third domain using this class feature, and any cleric levels will override all champion levels with regards to domain scaling and progression, even if they are lower.

Dweomercraft Patch 1.1.5 [PGCC as of a reset]

Fixes

• Runic points will now correctly adjust to the cap for player placed runes.
• Keen should now correctly calculate on point summary readouts, this was me being a major idiot!

A request:
Please test the description editor and dweomercraft nui, let me know how that handles or what breaks.
I'd like to get both out asap.

From Malkalz & Sincra:

XP Redeem and Redeeming!

Additions

• New chat command "-xpredeem"
  • Using the command without input or ? will present an information window that displays XP and functions.
  • Using the command followed by a number will redeem that amount if it is available.
• When a DM now gives xp, if you are at or above the XP cap it will instead be paid into the redeemable pool, capping at 50,000xp.

Fixes

• Collective bugfix that was breaking UCL - and removing the -UCL command (sorry guys, it had to go).

• The Taunt skill is now more fluid in its use.

From Sincra:

Boons & Design approach shift:

Changes

• Communion Boon:

  • Lost Attributes.
  • Lost Saves.
  • Lost Skills.
  • Gained +5 Lore to language comprehension checks.
  • Gained bonus ability to comprehend written deep speech as if 25% more fluent.

• Giant / Jotun Boon:

  • Lost Attributes.
  • Lost Saves.
  • Lost Skills.
  • Gained 30lb's of carry capacity.

• Riding Instructor Boon:

  • Lost Ride Skill Bonus.
  • Gained prevention of being thrown except by spell or jousting.

• Furies Boon:

  • Lost Attributes.
  • Lost Saves.
  • Gained dice alteration on Call Lightning. (d6 -> d10)
  • Gained alternate Call Lightning VFX.

Commentary & Rationale:
Boons have been around for some time, but of late their place in the design of the server has come under scrutiny both in and out of the team.
On some level they invoked a sense of the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) but also willed character breaking to not be at a disadvantage through the use of the boons.
It was also raised as a Find Out In Game (FOIG) issue as substantive mechanical power was being gate kept.
As such, all original bonuses on the above 4 have been lost and are now as described by the gained comments.
As the title of this update suggests, the new approach will be to encourage use for roleplay and thematics, instead of the most powerful.
