Okay Folks,
This is the big clan shake-up. It's meant to help balancing and to
make it so non-clannies are competitive in PK.
{BPRIMARY CHANGES{x
{W- {Gskills {D-{x all clan skills have been moved to different levels.
Generally, the more desirable the skill, the higher the level up
to approximately lvl 70 for the best of skills.
{W- {Gpets {D-{x clannies cannot buy pets outside of a clan hall.
{W- {Gskills {D-{x many skills that were completely unbalancing have
vanished. Many others have been toned down.

obligation (Ruler/Sylvan) or give up an eq slot.

Subject Clanskill Secrecy~
Text
A while ago, Thorel enacted a rule that essentially said no clanmember can ever
use his or her clan's skills to aid someone outside of the clan.
After some discussion, Nalaeya and I have decided to declare the afforementioned
rule dead.
Essentially, if a clan member wants to aid a comrade outside his or her clan
with their unique skills, this is A-OK, as long as it's RP-appropriate. To
maintain some level of secrecy, however, explaining a clanskill's name, use
and purpose in full detail is still a no-no. However, simply saying "My clan
has a skill that can help us" or something similar while using it is acceptable.
Clan leaders can put further restrictions on the use of their skills, at their
own descretion.
I encourage all clan leaders to post a note to their clans clarifying when and
how their skills can be used outside of their clan.

Until we get a healthier hero population, clan guards have been fixed to

any other feedback, feel free to write me a note and I'll see what I can do.
The goal in this is to get clan raiding going again, and give clan members
a bit more inspiration to hero up so they can better defend themselves.

Subject {MQ{muest {MP{moint{x: Inflation~
Text
Okay folks,
Due to an anticipated change in the quest system, where we will
institute a progressive quest point reward system, you can expect
significant QP inflation in the next week or so.
This change is mostly going to be problematic for Heros. Since QPs
will be easier to earn at Hero, the costs of certain things will rise
purportionaly. The number of quest completes needed to purchase items
will remain relatively the same for certain items (sam deaths, rugs, money,
etc) but your existing QPs will lose purchasing power (inflation).
Therefore, we recommend you make whatever purchases you're expecting to
make in the next week before the change happens. If you are planning on
purchasing a house, please declare that ASAP, so you can lock in the
current price with your current QP total.

Okay folks,
For a long time it has been an unwritten rule that you were not to use
charm as a death sentence. It really isn't meant to be that powerful.
And it certainly isn't meant to empty someone's bank account or cost them
quest points. It's mostly meant for you to get an advantage, or make
someone look silly.
Unfortunately, we weren't having a great time encouraging this type
of usage. So, I've added some safe-guards in the code. Here's what's
new:
{r*{x) {WThe number of commands you can order a PC to do are limited{x
{r*{x) {WYou will receive feedback if they won't respond to a command{x
{r*{x) {WAUTOASSIST will be automatically turned off when you get charmed{x
{r*{x) {WIf the charmed is attacked or takes damage the charm is broken{x
What's generally allowed:
{r*{x) {Wcommunication commands except ooc and newbie
{r*{x) {Wgiving someone all your gold or things in your inventory.{x
{r*{x) {Wsleep, sit, rest, wake, etc{x
The command list is pretty short, and if we feel the need we will expand it.
I'm sure there are still ways to totally own someone with charm, and if
you find one please report it, and if I can I'll do something about it.
But please, do NOT exploit it.

Okay Immies,
Just fixed a few little odds & ends that have been bugging me/us.
* can't dual wield 2H stuff if you aren't a big'n anymore
* I fixed the autoweapon in OLC so it promotes greater variablity in
damage rolls (bigger dice-size, fewer dice rolls). All weapons have
been changed.
* Avg damage for weapons is now calculated into the BP cost. This is an
approximiate, so please use it as a guideline, not justification for
sooper weapons or anything.
* granularity for BP colors has increased a bit:
{r+100{x%, {R90{x%, {Y75{x%, {G50{x%, {b25{x%, {g1{x%, {y0{x, {Dless than 0{x
* since we have longer uptimes, I've added a "trash compactor" feature to
the donation pits. The "cost" of the pit determines intervals between
purging the items. 0 means don't purge. The items are pruged according
to their level. The higher level the item, the more chance it evaporates.
The counter on pits is rest to plus a few hours if someone's corpse goes
there.
* PC corpses no longer decay while being held by an IMM. This means, that
there is {rNO RUSH TO EAT SOMEONE{x. You can slay them, and hold their
corpse forever while they make up lies on how they didn't cheat. {Y;){x
* You can no longer auction noremove, nouncurse and nodrop items. This

it's a cheap out.

Okay folks,
Quick change: Your artifact allowance is now adjusted for server uptime.
If the server goes kaput, it shouldn't be your problem that you can't
log in. Also, if the network connect goes p00f, but the server stays
up, this will also count as "server-downtime" as far as artifacts go.
On a minor note, you should be able to re-fill lights with the spell,
though the scroll isn't fixed yet.

This oddly comes at a time when the svirfneblin find themselves
physically tougher against blunt weapons, but have lost their
secret resistance to the arcane arts.
{r- {Rcloud giants{x - warriors from around the realm have disseminated
a new battle technique against these foes that allows blades
to slice through their protective skin. The thieves guild
has studied this and found a way to inflict a great deal of
harm with piercing weapons. Blunt weapons still seem to have
a deadened affect against the cushy hide of these giants.
{r- {Rhonor{x - samurai bushido is being taken more seriously than ever.
No longer will samurai lose face (Charisma) through honorable
death. But instead will occationally lose respect when they
prove themselves a coward on the battle field. Regaining their
honor will begin them on the path to restoring their reputation.
Dishonor against like souls will truely bring them shame.
{r- {Rarena{x - the rules of arena battles have changed due to
Lord Gelnai taking control of the tournament council. No
longer will fights be to the seeming death, but instead
when one is defeated they will be wisked to their temple
fully clothed. Unfortunately, this will still leave them
quite vulnerable at the moment of defeat.
{r- {Rdeath{x - many warriors have reported that the trauma of death
has left them disoriented for a bit. No longer do ghosts
rise up immediately after the corpse has fallen. Some have
used this time to take greater care in scalping ears off
of dead men.
{r- {Rcharms{x - only the force of will and beauty of those casting
charming incantations will affect the strenght of the spell.
If you're ugly you have no more to fear than the pretty.

chance to resist the charms of others due to their anti-social
dispossition. Wizards will find that their charms have a
chance of overpowering weaker dissention, and might cancel it.

(need to wait for Shae or Nal for that)

{gOrcs{x now have new stats and exp penality. They now get normal
dexterity (+5 from before), and aren't so repulsive to their own kind
(CHA of 50). Also, the exp penal is now 300 instead of 500.
Hopefully, this should make them more playable.
Also, half-orc CHA is now 50.

Lots of bug fixes and a bit of something new:
- detect invis bug fixed
- damroll bug per level fixed
- HP per level fixed (boosted)
{rWhat the hell is this {WNaked and Reborn{r crap?!
The HP and Damroll fixes change a lot about how the characters will
end up at hero. In order to fix existing characters, I had to strip you
all naked, reset you to level 1, then advance you to your old level. This
should correct people. If you're upset about not receiving your stat
bonuses, sorry. I can always restore your character to before the fix,
but you'll probably have 1/2 the HPs. I can't accomodate everyone
please remember, this is still {BBETA{x.
Thanks for your understanding.

AC now does something! It is a damage modifier. So the less AC you
have (higher negative number), the less damage done to you in melee (only
melee). Damroll is the opposite. The simplified calculation is
this: Damroll + AC = damage bonus. If your AC is bigger than the damroll
then you can get up to half melee damage.
Also, AC is now adjusted by class. Until I get some builders to change
all the armor items to CLOTH, LIGHT, MEDIUM, HEAVY, the AC for all items
will be adjusted by class. Thus, mages will only receive partial armor
bonuses (as they would traditionally only wear CLOTH armors). Spells,
however, affect everyone the same.
Also, evade skills were modified. Hopefully mobs should evade more,
and chars less (take more rounds of dam, but less dam, and they have more
HPs now).
ACTs for mobs now affect how they evade. ;)
I think that's all. *phew*
