*8/25/98- lotta updates, and some sites have stolen my moonie guild meeting log w/o giving credit(i try to give credit for stuff that takes time to log like that), also my modem blew in an electrical storm, so i haven't been able to update for a week or so and didn't get around to updating til today, first i'll do magic stuff:
The Raise Power spell now has a cap on the amount of Life mana it will add to an area. It's still enough to raise a room from no mana to "pulsating streams" but no longer an insane amount.
(empaths could get burning and blinding mana) Also, more Harness skill is required than before to efficiently convert fatigue into mana.
Phelim's Sanction will no longer award experience for casting unless there is an undead or evil creature in the room. However, it will also award more experience, rather than the small amount it previously awarded.
Lightning Bolt has always boosted (if necessary) its minimum damage amount so that it always causes bleeding. Unfortunately, the method it was using meant that tougher creatures would take MORE vitality damage than weaker ones when hit with this spell. The method has been changed so that vitality damage is not increased along with the injury. Lightning Bolt is still a powerful attack spell but you can no longer rely on it to always cause an instant kill at minimum mana. This also applies to Chain Lightning.
Primary Magic experience from casting is now using a different, more reasonable formula. There is much more potential for learning than before, although in some ranges of skill and spell difficulty, you may earn a bit less experience than before. If that's the case, either try using more mana or just tough it out and console yourself with the fact that once you get through it, you'll be earning more experience than was possible before.
if you've been around Haven you'll see empty hovels, those are new premie homes, they're also out the Haven east gate, Crossing arch(near North gate), and in Reavers believe it or not...
as a lead in to the upcoming 100$ quest, there was an invasion in Haven of S'kra's that killed the aristocrat. He left a letter and everyone rushed to some gate in Haven blackmoon road, some ran past the s'kra guards and cleaned out the house, there were horse-hair(or hide) backpacks, silver elothean longbow(something like that), stone knives, and this sword everyone said was nice but was LE and app'ed like crap.. only thing left are some unfinished notes that hint to the quest(quest is for new province i'm told... but it's just finding it, not going in i assume, or maybe not)
also if you interested in the L'karm thing, some traders were sent to Noel's for a contract and had to take sealed packages to Leth, where Ralel(that l'karm guy) gave them all pouches(there was 4 gold in each pouch and there's about the size of sampler sacks)... so figure that one out for yourself, i'll try and find out more
