*11/3/98- Updates
haven't been in DR much, finally got 40th after 8+ months or so, came back to nifty Halloween event(meanne tried to take credit for it ending, like she was the only one lighting a candle in the entire realms... and weekend long events usually end on sunday nights anyways, like this one). First i'll do a list of magic updates(groan):
October 26: The mana difficulty rating for Harawep's Bonds has been reduced, to balance this spell in light of the change to the SVA formula.
October 29: A smoldering ash cloud is now visible in the area when the Fire Rain spell is in effect.
November 1: A bug in the Courage spell allowed the duration to accumulate with multiple casts. Eventually the duration would overflow and be reset to 5 minutes by the system. The bug has been fixed, and the maximum duration per cast increased somewhat to compensate.
November 1: Ice Patch has been altered in the following ways: - it is somewhat less likely to produce a fatal result, there is an intermediate point where the target "struggles to maintain his footing"; this means combat balance is being affected. If balance is reduced enough, the target will still fall over. it can now be cast on dead people to make dragging easier.
also...Wear has been corrected so that people can only wear 30 items that are worn "generally" on the body. These items typically don't message where on the body you are putting them. There was never an intent for people to be able to wear an unlimited number of this type of item, and we apologize for the inconvenience that this correction will cause some of you. The invasion stuff: there was spiffy well/well LX's that can be loaded and shot with hands full, a crossbow crafted from fine Katamba-black wood that has been carved to suggest the shapes of long bones. Tiny Arrows(the velvers also had tiny bows but i couldn't app one)
It appears as if it could do:
moderate puncture damage
poor slice damage
poor impact damage
You feel certain that the tiny arrow is worth 35 copper Kronars, or 30 copper Lirums, or 25 copper Dokoras.
bodies couldn't be rezzed/rejuved, and you became a spirit that clerics that were in tune enough with their god could wave reed torches and somewhat talk to them, then the spirits had to touch the altar twice and if you didn't get a glyph then dig up your grave(lotta 'true' graverobbing), You see the tortured spirit of ????? , eyes pleading for help. The scourges were: Dangling hunks of flesh hang loosely off what looks to have once been a female S'Kra Mur, but it is hard to tell. It seems to be drawn to the living, pushing forward, grasping, clawing for what it may have once been. If it had a soul, it was lost long ago. and they gave those damn body sores... and the velvers
You see a velver.
The velver is in good shape.
It is wearing nothing!
It is carrying a very tiny bow.
i'll post more as i think of it, and trying to keep it up to date somewhat
