Alter Aeon

Happy holiday season, everybody! We here at Alter Aeon wish to share that our next game event will be the Winter Solstice celebration, beginning next week on Tuesday, December 20th and ending on Wednesday, January 3rd. Animated trees roam the world for players to harvest. We can expect the return of the EPDS, or emergency package delivery service, for players to try their package launching skills, and the winter holiday themed pk arena matches. There will be plenty for everyone of all levels to do, so don’t miss out! There have been major updates to damage as it relates to mob types. This consists of several parts: - When you consider a mob, it will tell you if the mob has vulnerabilities or resistances to blunt, edged, pointed and flexible damage types in a format very similar to how elemental damage is displayed. (The system now uses aggregrates with caps to prevent total immunity or abject vulnerability.) - A few mob types had their damage resistances changed, most notably machines are no longer vulnerable to pierce. - A few mob types that had little outcome on stats now have minor damage resistances and vulnerabilities added. For example, amphibians are now slightly vulnerable to edged damage, and fish are now slightly vulnerable to pointed damage, while reptiles are slightly resistant to edged damage. Crafting updates: - Crafting experience is now routed out through a single function. Crafting exp is somewhat lower on average, but creating mastercraft quality adds significant multipliers. - You can now add grips to lapidary clubs. - Two new southern-style weapons: the jitte, and the tekkan. These are made with a new weapon part, the jitte blade. They are one-handed pounding weapons with guards, so they can have gemstones mounted to them. - Higher quality ammunition has a reduced chance of being destroyed when used. For example, a mastercrafted arrow is less likely to be destroyed than an expertly crafted one. Other updates: - Player edited long descriptions have been replaced with a system for assigning features such as skin, eye and hair color, hair style and length, facial scars and the appearance of noses, cheeks, jaws and mouths. You can change your features whenever you like, as often as you like. These features are used to generate long descriptions that other players can see. - The "event post" command will no longer work during trivia events (to prevent people accidentally giving away the answer with bogus posts). - The ‘sea navigation’ skill has been scuttled, and its functionality is now the default behavior for the navigation command on ships. In its place, 'extremophile' is now the top tier Cartographers Guild skill. This skill reduces the movement costs when trekking and gathering resources in hostile terrains ranging from crystal, ice, shadow and even lava!

Alter Aeon October 2022 Update

Happy harvest season from the staff of Alter Aeon! We are excited about this month’s game event: Halloween Havoc! We can expect all of the usual amenities, including pumpkin cannons, monster pk arena battles, and seasonal prizes, as well as special zones made just for the event. Activities are available for all players, new and old alike. Mark your calenders: the event is only available for a limited time! Halloween Havoc will begin on Saturday, October 29th and will end on Wednesday, November 2nd. Here’s a review of recent updates to the game: - Weapon cleanup: modifying weapons that weren’t loading so that they would load again. - Adding several small quarries and the like in areas around Kordan, Archais and the mainland for mining. - New tailored item: ribbons, and new metallurgy item: medallions. These can have heraldry added to them, and can be attached to tailored ribbons. Renaming them will change them into awards and medals. - Forged medallion belts are now coin belts. - Use the ‘lapidary check’ command on mined materials that cannot be crafted to see if they are uncommon or not. - More kinds of woods have been made rare in order to make it easier to find rare woods. - Tailoring Guild jobs now require you to deliver the finished piece of clothing to a nearby mob instead of just turning it into the guildmaster. - Improve at ‘saw lumber’ skill even when you break the wood. - Remains of campfires should now be a viable carbon source for forging. - Light-based spells like ‘color spray’ and ‘sunstorm’ do extra damage to SHADOW type creatures and vampires. - High constitution will help you recover from hypothermia more quickly. - An updated spell damage system for combat spells that displays a damage entry with various tiers (minor, low, moderate, high, massive). - Favor usage will now appear more linear. You will gain favor automatically in larger increments when your favor is low compared to when it is high. When your favor is very high, autofavor gain will slow. The ‘meditate’ skill and jobs will help expedite recovery. You will gain favor more slightly more quickly if you match the alignment and class of your god. There are no penalties for alignment or class mismatches, only bonuses for matches. Upcoming changes: - Improvements to how the meditate skill handles hit point changes. - New daily event for Saturdays: trivia games! - A couple new abilities centered around ‘dispel magic’. - Folding ‘skinning’ into ‘leathercraft’ to make room for a new top tier leathercraft/rangers guild skill, hopefully in time for the Thanksgiving event. - Updating the help page for favor to reflect recent changes and adding pages for related topics, such as autofavor. - Preparing the City of Fonts for the release of Primordial Chaos!

Alter Aeon server updates for Sep 10, 22: https://bit.ly/3QDk2h4

Alter Aeon will soon be having a game event centered around the autumnal equinox, starting on the afternoon of Friday, September 16th and ending on the night of Saturday the 24th. This event will feature the Puzzlewood scenario. For the uninitiated, the Puzzlewood is a special event area which pits you against waves of monsters that increase in strength with each successive wave. It is intended to be a challenge for well-heeled groups of high level players. Recent changes to the game: - Gather jobs will reject objects that have had their weight magically altered, such as from a ‘crystal coat’ or ‘unburden’ spell. - More improvements to jobs displays, including location names for alchemist and assassin brew jobs and color standardization. - The meditate skill can no longer bring you to maximum favor. To compensate, the favor from doing priest jobs has been increased. - ‘Detect magic’ now shows a LOT more detail about spells on mobs, and is now level 9 and no longer obscure. The potency of using detect magic on a mob before dispel has been increased, and the ‘dispel magic’ cost has been raised to 18, since it is now more powerful. - The ‘fire focusing’, ‘ice focusing’, ‘lightning focusing’ and ‘crystal focusing’ skills now synergize with ‘dispel magic’ relevant to spells with the corresponding element. The better you know ‘spell lore’, the more spell auras you can discern with detect magic before being overwhelmed. - The damage for impale has been increased, and some changes have been made to the damage type requirements. - ‘Foulblood’ now poisons any attackers that use edged damage types such as slash, slice, chop or claw (though it only nauseates biting attackers). - The number of invigorate spells that can be put on a tincture is now dependent on the brewer's druid level. - Bitter and sharp tasting food will help you resist being stunned. Spicy foods will instead help you recover from being chilled. - ‘Survey’ should no longer give false positives for mining in city-flagged zones. - The “compare” command should now work with lapidary gemstones. We added a few new thief-oriented gemstones to the mining and lapidary tables. - You can now appraise things you are wearing. Coming soon: - Unified handlers for spell damage, and spells will show relative damage levels on help pages, such as "moderate" or "minor". - More polish for jobs and crafting. - Automated trivia events. - Implementing the ‘hunting’ skill. Next month, we will have our Halloween Havoc event, as well as releasing a number of new areas, including the high level zone of Port Crimsonia for the continent of Ramanek and Nightmare Plane 5 solo and group 4 areas. Primordial Chaos is very nearly complete. It will be released for the Thanksgiving event. A reinforced Font will lead there from the City of Fonts.

Happy September, everybody! It is my sad duty to inform you that our Puzzlewood event will have to be postponed. I (Shadowfax) have been so busy preparing my late mother-in-law's property for sale that I haven't had time to even login in lately. I also want to apologize to those who have mudmailed me recently. Your feedback is very important, and I am not ignoring you; my inbox is full, so I can't mail you back right now. (I think we'll look into raising the limit beyond 500 in the future.) We'll post the proper monthly update soon with new dates for the Puzzlewood event.

Alter Aeon August 2022 Update

Hi there! As we transition from summer to fall and students return to school, we hope everyone is doing well. We here at Alter Aeon have been very busy! In addition to opening two new areas, many minor quality of life updates have been added to Alter Aeon centering around jobs recently, including: - The command 'jobs find guild' should now accept guild names. - Lapidary check will now indicate if a mineral is uncommon, useful for prospector jobs. - If you know woodcraft, gathering wood will send you a message when you find a rare wood type. - Woodcraft check will indicate the region where a checked type of wood is from. - Split wood will now have the keywood 'swood' (instead of 'fwood') in its insult string. - Cartographer jobs now use the 'survey' command to advance instead of 'map'. - Smith smelting jobs should now be more generous with which ingots they accept, and neither they nor ore jobs should send you after very rare metals such as cadmium or orichalcum. - Hatmaking is now the first skill in the Haberdashers Guild, so that members can complete guild jobs at novice rank. - New Lapidarists Guild job: prospector, where you obtain a 5 pound (or more) sample of an uncommon mineral. - If you turn in a mastercrafted item to complete a guild job, you will receive a bigger payout. There were some changes to regeneration: - Campfire regeneration is now calculated directly into player stats, so it will be part of “show regen”, and is stronger. - If you sleep long enough, you will feel sharp. Being sharp increases regeneration, helps you recover from shadow exposure faster, boosts experience gains, and gives you a higher chance of producing mastercrafts for a short period. - New level 20 cleric skill was added: meditation. This skill allows you to meditate while resting, communing with your god to regain favor. Changes to spells and skills: - ‘Dispel magic’ now gains an advantage against spells the caster knows. For instance, if you know displacement, you will have an easier time dispelling it. - If your character knows animal lore, demon lore, dragon lore or undead lore, the “consider” command will inform you of the creature’s dietary habits. - A few tweaks to skirmish so that ‘leadfoot’ makes it less effective, and mobs will be less likely to do massive damage. Upcoming changes for August: ‘Detect magic’ is getting a facelift. Some improvements have already been implemented revolving around the elemental focus skills. The ‘dispel magic’ spell is also slated to receive some more tweaks. There may be some new abilities centered around dispel magic in the near future. An overhaul of the ‘expiation’ spell is coming soon, as well as a possible upgrade for ‘spirit hammer’. The ‘hunting’ skill is also well on its way toward being developed. More improvements to make earning favor more stable and predictable are almost ready to go. Under this system, clerics in harmony with their god will gain favor about every five minutes and can regenerate to full in about an hour through autofavor alone. (This, of course, can be accelerated using the meditate skill or by completing priest tasks.) We will be reintroducing the Puzzlewood for an event centered around Labor Day, likely beginning on Friday, September 2nd and ending on the following Tuesday, September 6th. This event is intended for experienced players, who must battle wave after wave of monsters in order to win the challenge. For more information, please refer to our Youtube update here:

Alter Aeon July 2022 Update

We hope everyone was able to enjoy this year’s recently concluded Summer Solstice Celebration! Let’s review recent additions to the game: - new woodcrafted weapon: lance - easier to create mastercrafted woodcraft objects with rare types of wood - aggro mobs should be slightly tough at very high levels, thus yielding better solo exp - HIDE composition is now called SKIN, to avoid conflicts with the HIDE object effect - silver, gold, platinum and various jewelry alloys are higher difficulty; however if you know the ‘forge jewelry’ skill, your odds of failing with them are lower - dclient now only has one general combat track, but certain areas can have unique combat tracks - you can no longer smell while underwater unless affected by the ‘water breathing’ spell - “metallurgy list items” shows which items are cast in molds and which are hammered, and items from molds are very unlikely to produce mastercrafts - “consider” command and ‘dispel magic’ help page have been updated in order to more accurately reflect the relationship between MAGIC type creatures, the dispel magic spell, and magical damage - other updates and additions were made to the consider command, including some missing dragonbreath types Coming in July: - ‘dispel magic’ will be updated to be more effective against spells you know how to cast, and ‘detect magic’ will be updated in order to facilitate this new feature - most guilds will be updated to require fewer mastercrafts to advance, but they will require a certain number of guild jobs to be completed - guildmasters will pay more for guild jobs that require a created object if you turn in a mastercrafted item - forging new items will require exact keyword matches to prevent conflicts between items with similar names, such as “chains” and “chainlink” belts - roadside shrines dedicated to pantheon gods are being added to the game world, where one offers an item in order to receive a reward - add favor requirements for several more mid- and high-level cleric abilities in order to give clerics more to spend their favor on - additional effects for pantheon spheres, such as a small boost to the skill level or cast level of associated abilities - release level 34/35 areas of Dreahul and Thuoduhr in eastern Atmir - re-open the Naginag arena as a regular area - re-release former event area The Harz as a level 39 area for the Dunn Hurr Work also continues on the level 42 area Port Crimsonia for eastern Ramanek and Nightmare Plane solo and group 4 areas toward their eventual release in the fall.

Alter Aeon June 2022 Update

Happy summer, everybody! We’re proud to announce our tenth annual Summer Solstice Celebration! The main questline will consist of a series of gladiator matches held in the Naginag arena. This will be a single player scenario that pits you against enemies that present radically different challenges. We’ll also be releasing Starving Rock for year’s event. This scenario is a marathon of killing as many mobs as possible. Unlike years prior, it will be a fully autolevelling zone instead of a single player zone, so you’ll be able to play with your friends if you wish. This game event will begin on Saturday, June 18th, with Starving Rock opening first and the arena opening the following Monday. The event will end with the closure of both areas on Monday, July 4th after the fireworks are over. (We’ll be holding the Puzzlewood area in reserve for a weekend event later this year, probably around Sisters' Day or Labor Day.) Here’s a summary of some recent updates to the game: - We've released a new island located along the northwest side of the continent of Gianasi. This is a level 43 group 7 area created in memory of Jahmeir aka Colonel. - Weapons created by the druid 'carve weapon' skill now do magical damage, making them effective against ethereal creatures. - We fixed a bug that let unscribeable spells to chained onto scrolls. - Reducing tonics that are much lower level than you should now fail less often. - The frequency of archery contests and fishing derbies has been bumped up a little. - Costs for tailoring refactored. They should generally be cheaper, especially at high levels. Tailored kilts should now be significantly cheaper to make. - Tailor list fabric should now show fabric effects. - Lapidary gems should no longer be created with stats that can't possibly transfer to objects. Related, the process for moving stats from lapidary gems to lapidary spangles and from spangles to crafted objects should now be more forgiving. - A third option has been added for tanner: suede. Equipment made from sueded leather tends to be higher quality than normal leather. - A third option has been added to grind stone: grind. This allows you to reduce the mass of a piece of unworked lapidary material one pound at a time. The syntax for grind ore is now 'crush ore'. - Weapons of power must be of at least mastercraft quality for the sympathetic magic to work. Lore sources have been updated to reflect this. - There were changes to how mastercrafted items are handled with metallurgy to make it easier to progress in the Smiths Guild. - Adding fullers to crafted blades now increases the damroll with no speed increases. - It is now possible improve necromancer skills by preparing corpses for raising. - The hitroll, damroll and armor bonuses from graft undead have been buffed. - The mage 'enchant fire', 'enchant ice' and 'enchant lightning' skills now have 'forge simple weapon' as a secondary prerequisite. - New credit buy option: “credit buy clantailor”, for adding a tailor shop to your clan area. - Various updates to lore to in preparation for Primordial Chaos, including new library material and changes to mobs and quests around Ralnoth and nearby areas. - There has been a crackdown with incompatible spells placed on consumables such as potions, scrolls, staves and wands. - Several pieces of equipment throughout the first two islands; there should now be enough eq by level 16 to create a cast_level and skill_level set for every class. There should even be enough pieces to create a ranged set without any class flags. We’re still working on Port Crimsonia and Nightmare Plane solo and group 4 areas, as well as converting various old event zones into regular areas. Also, background music for the dclient has been completed (for now), with the final handful of tracks being added very soon.

Alter Aeon May 2022 Update

Happy May, everybody! We on Alter Aeon have been really busy reorganizing our crafting skills and guilds. Here’s an overview of what we’ve done recently: There are now three more crafting guilds in addition to the Smiths Guild: The Woodwrights Guild, The Rangers Guild and The Lapidarists Guild. The Woodwrights Guild includes the ‘woodcrafting’, ‘bowcraft’ and ‘fletcher’ skills, and includes four new skills: ‘saw lumber’, ‘season wood’, ‘beadmaking’ and ‘planar finish’. These skills spread out existing woodcrafted abilities and add new functionality, such as whittling, which lets you reduce the size of gathered wood by a small amount at a time and seasoning wood, which increases the strength and defensive stats of items by heating them over a fire. Woodwrights advance in rank by making mastercraft woodcraft items. Higher ranks in the guild improve your chances of finding uncommon woods and successfully working with spalted and rotten wood types. The Rangers Guild encompasses the ‘butcher’, ‘skinning’, ‘leathercraft’, ‘furrier’ and ‘shellcraft’ skills, and includes two new ones: ‘tanner’ and ‘cobbler’. ‘Tanner’ includes the ability of splitting and preserving hides, while ‘cobbler’ gives crafters access to a variety of leathercrafted footwear with differing stats. Players advance in the Rangers Guild by butchering and skinning animals and making mastercraft leathercraft items. Higher ranks in the guild improve your chances of getting scraps when making leathercrafted items and making more powerful mastercrafted items. The Lapidarists Guild includes ‘mining’, ‘lapidary’ and ‘gemcutting’, and includes four new skills: ‘grind ore’, ‘polish gem’, ‘spangler’ and ‘diamantaire’. ‘Grind ore’ includes the crush ore and splitting abilities. ‘Polish gem’ attempts to improve the stats and quality of a gemstone. ‘Spangler’ allows finished gemstones to be split into spangles, which can be added to leathercrafted armor and tailored clothing similar to forged spikes and studs. ‘Diamantaire’ decreases the odds of breakage when working with high difficulty gems such as diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and topaz. Players advance in the Lapidarists Guild by finding uncommon minerals and making mastercrafted lapidary items. Higher ranks in the guild improve your ability to add effects to gemstones and gain increased yields on mineral deposits. Other skill updates include: - The skills ‘hone weapon’ and ‘balance weapon’ have been folded into ‘forge blade’ and ‘forge simple weapon’, respectively. ‘Metallurgy’, ‘forge simple weapon’, ‘jewelrysmithing’, ‘forge armor’, ‘forge blade’, ‘reinforce armor’, ‘forge ninhonto’ and ‘forge kozane’ are now Smith Guild skills. - All orienteering skills are now contingent on ranks in the Cartographers Guild. ‘Swimming’ is now dependent on ‘survey’ and is a prerequisite of ‘sea navigation’. - The ‘hone weapon’ skill has been replaced with a new warrior skill called ‘moulinet’. This is a swift strike with a bladed weapon made by rotating one's wrist. It causes long, shallow cuts than can bleed over time. - The ‘balance weapon’ skill has been replaced with another new warrior skill called ‘center’. This skill is used to re-balance yourself after an attack throws you off-balance. In addition: - Stealthy minions like vipers, vampires and panthers should now be sneakier. - You can no longer hide while you are on fire. - For dclient users, combat tracks should drop faster when combat ends, and combat music should continue playing if group members in the same room are in melee. Going forward, work continues on large building projects such as: - Primordial Chaos, a randomly generated landscape for high level players with variegated terrain. - Port Crimsonia, a level 42-43 zone for the continent of Ramanek. - The Naginag Arena, the event zone for this year’s upcoming Summer Solstice Celebration in June.

Alter Aeon April 2022 Update

Happy spring, everybody! Last month we held Alter Aeon’s annual Spring Festival event. Our next event will be the Mayday event, which will begin on Friday, April 29th and end on Monday, May 2nd. This event will be like the previous two years’ events, with players experiencing a different style of quest as they explore a crashed spaceship while piloting a robot. It can be completed by players of any level, even brand new ones. If you haven’t done it out yet, I would strongly suggest that you try out this year’s Mayday event area! Here are some recent updates to the game: - There is a new forged metal: wind steel, an iron-mithril alloy that gives dexterity. - There is also a new wickercraft item: cornucopia, which can cast the ‘fruitage’ spell. - The opals in the mines beneath Ubar have been divided into potch opal, hyalite, black opal and white opal and added to the mining and lapidary tables where appropriate. - Some shopkeepers may now be able to cut gemstones from raw materials... for a price. - You can add gemstones to crafted jewelry as long as you know lapidary. - Wetlands terrain (mire, marsh, swamp) now has a dclient ambient track. - ‘Landslide’ now knocks over unbalanced opponents instead of stunned ones. - Called electric eels now have mild damage reflection and chance to stun opponents, and the damage reflection for porcupines has been made more aggressive. - You can no longer doubly mutilate the remains of creatures with ‘flesh beast’ and ‘bone guardian’. - You can now call animals while resting, as nature intended! - Reagent lore information should now show up on “shortid”. - Adding an arrowhead adds +1 hitroll and adding fletching adds +1 damroll to ammunition, even if nothing else transfers. - The ground cleaner now targets food, ores, spell components and herbs outside of clan areas. Work continues on Primordial Chaos, an upcoming high-level procedurally generated area. Primordial Chaos is a shadowy, malleable realm riddled with pockets of raw material that mimics other planes. Distinct populations of creatures will be found in the different pockets depending on the terrain. Inhabitants will range from corrupted elementals to demons and more. There will also be distinct features within Chaos that will serve as landmarks, and places to collect unique resources. Two other building projects will soon be coming to fruition. One is the city of Port Crimsonia, a level 42-43 zone on the eastern shore of the continent of Ramanek when finished. The level 34 zones of Dreahul and Thuoduhr should also be available soon.

Alter Aeon March 2022 Update

Hello one and all! This month we’ll be hosting a game event for St. Patrick’s Day, starting on Friday, March 18th and ending the morning of the 21st. Details are still in the works, so you’ll just have to log in and see what we have in store! Recently our world builders have been going around and adding new mines and expanding on older ones. They added a mine area and a little horde below the green dragon. They also added a miner's guild, updated all the eq and mobs and made a whole new mine below the miner in Trinsic. In addition, they made the mine in the rock gnomes area probably twice as big. The mobs and equipment in the shadow forest area were updated, and we added a little mine there as well. We also updated and fixed up mobs and equipment in Shi'mon Island, which has a large underground section. The opal mines under Ubar are next to be scheduled for such an update with a focus on equipment. This will include changes to lapidary opals, and the addition of new opal types, including white opals, black opals, potch opal and hyalite. Here are some more recent changes made last month: - All harvested hides and shells now have stats. You can remove stats from a hide using the “leathercraft scrape” command, but there is a chance of ruining the hide. Instead of lower level hides being easier to work with than higher level ones, smaller hides are now easier to work with than larger ones. - ‘Ice shield’ protects against burning, and ‘slow poison’ protects against nausea. Druidic poison mushrooms can now nauseate targets. - Creatures that bite you when you have the ‘foulblood’ spell active can become nauseated. Necromancer ghouls now do extra damage to nauseated creatures instead of just poisoned ones. Bottling blood while “foulblooded” produces poison antidote potions, similar to how snake venom is used to make antivenom in Real Life. - Minions now lose hitpoints gradually if a caster's level is lowered, such as when swapping equipment or being affected by certain mental curses. - Improvements have been made to the wickercraft list. Wickercrafted items now last longer, and a new wickercrafted item, a garland, was added. - ‘Enchant essence’ can now add multiple castlevel and skill level to two-handed weapons, and only two-handed weapons. Some enchant costs were lowered. - The library topic system is now fully functional. Library books can be listed by topic, and library random can be narrowed down to a single topic. To see a list of topics, use “library list topic”. - Mining can now wake up sleeping mobs! Be careful! If you haven’t tried it out already, here’s a reminder that the dclient has a fully scored soundtrack, with ambient sounds and background music! More music continues to be added in order to diversify and beautify the world of Alter Aeon. For more information, please refer to our latest Youtube presentation here: https://youtu.be/7dGa0W8HbL0

Alter Aeon February 2022 Update

Happy February to all! Alter Aeon is once again the midst of another flutterheart migration! Taking out one of the weird little floaters can yield a special reward, so be sure to visit before the migration is over. We are proud to announce that we now have music on the Dclient! The official client of Alter Aeon is now fully scored with its own original soundtrack! This includes tracks for wind, rain, the ambient environment, and full music tracks for different planes and various areas, with more on the way! Also last month: effort has been made to unify several mechanics in order to make them more consistent, identifiable and curable. For example: Bleeding - (normal Damage over Time to living creatures). Bleeding creatures accumulate poisoning from toxic melee attacks faster, and vampires that attack bleeding creatures will heal. Treated with the ‘heal’ and ‘bloodbond’ spells, resisted by ‘stoneskin’. Burning - (fire Damage over Time). Fire and water-based creatures are immune. Can be doused by ‘create water’ or by immersion in water. Hypothermia - Combining the chilling effects of the ‘chill touch’, ‘Tarrant's spectral hand’ and ‘spectral claw’ spells into one. Instills a penalty in living creatures to strength and dexterity and vulnerability to cold and normal damage. Chilled creatures shiver periodically, losing mana and movement. The ‘melt’ skill and campfires lessen and remove it, while ‘fire shield’ helps resist it. Nausea - makes subjects more susceptible to toxic damage, and interferes with their ability to use skills and cast spells. Certain poisons may make creatures nauseated, as can directly cast spells such as ‘noxious cloud’. Nausea is relieved by most abilities that can cure poisoning, and by minty and pine-tasting foods. Unbalanced - new condition, combining features of feinting and the debuff of a missed thrust. The armor and hitroll of unbalanced characters is less effective. The big danger is that an unbalanced character is more easily knocked down by attacks such as bash, trip or charge. A high dexterity can help prevent you from being unbalanced, and recover your balance more quickly. If you are unbalanced, you cannot use skills that unbalance or knock down others, though other abilities are unaffected. Other general changes from the month of January include: - Campfires are now more restorative when you rest or sleep by one. - Food has been changed. Calories have a more profound effect on the hitpoints restored, though well-seasoned player-cooked food will be the most restorative. The maximum limit to the amount of health and movement restored has also been increased. Resting while near a campfire while eating can help you recover quickly, especially at low levels. - Timers were increased for cooked dishes, fished fishes, butchered meats and foraged foods. - Minor bleeding effect added to claw rake attacks from called druidic mountain lions and panthers. - Thief frag grenades have a chance to cause minor bleeding. Frag grenades also can now use any spell component made from crystal or glass for assembly. - ‘Faerie fire’ no longer increases the damage from ‘flamestrike’. Instead, it invokes a chance of lighting the target on fire! - Thief poison gas grenades can nauseate targets. - ‘Noxious cloud’ now nauseates targets and lowers movement regen instead of hitpoint regen. - Thief frostring grenades and druidic called winter wolves have a chance of chilling opponents. - Crafted ammunition should now have stronger dierolls. - Being dazed or stunned interferes with your ability to use scrolls, wands and staves. Scrolls are not consumed nor are charges expended; you are just lagged briefly on failure. - Knapped weapons should now have heavy amount of damroll, paired with more modest hitroll and dierolls. You can also add plucked feathers to knapped weapons for a bit of primitive panache. - Tailored items now have weights based on their size and the type of fabric they are made from. - Crystal lights are now spell components. - About a dozen or so lapidary minerals had their effects altered. In particular, shield block and parry are more common. Planned changes: - Leathercraft scrape - all skins will start with stats on them. Using the “leathercraft scrape” command, the stats can be removed, but there is a chance of damaging the skin. - Nausea will be expanded to one or two more abilities. - Unified saving throw checks to resist chilling, burning and nausea will be added, to replace various custom routines. We might be testing out some automated trivia events in the next couple months. For more information, please refer to our latest Youtube presentation: https://youtu.be/4m4uBrww-yY
