Devastating criticals is active but will add damages to your crit and not kill outright.
Pretty much everything else on that tread seem accurate.

Somewhat feat related:

True Seeing has been nerfed for players on this server. Casting the spell on players provides a See Invisibility + Spot and Search skill buff, and Dragon Shape no longer receives this for free whilst in shape.

Thanks for responding
So the feats bluff and respond are useful on this server.

[The Flying Rodent]

Bluff is a skill [a very niche persuasion skill at that], and so far I've never seen it used here. I'm also not sure what you mean by 'respond'.

[ergazi]

Respond would be a brain fart. I meant persuade.
Was watching football.
Thanks

Righto.

Persuade is used pretty rarely. If I could recommend two auxiliary skills to get here, they'd be Lore and Appraise. There's quite a few shiny things to find, and merchants to haggle with.

A few other changes I've noticed that the thread doesn't mention:

1. Isaac's Lesser and Greater Missile Storms both have their number of projectiles lowered (The linked thread mentioned IGMS, but not ILMS).
2. Imbue Arrow for Arcane Archer (the fireball arrow) does SIGNIFICANTLY more damage than normal. I assume this is so it stays competitive at high levels, but at low levels its pretty disgusting.
3. Epic Spell: Mummy Dust and Epic Spell: Dragon Knight have both been updated to summon extremely powerful creatures, both very much relevant at max level.

The Balor you get from Gate too.

There are a couple things that need to be updated in the Server Information thread.

So PC Dragon shape doesn't get it but regular NPC Dragons do? All my spellcasters get spotted the instant they get within range of Dragons. I mean I guess it makes sense, they've been dragons for longer than a shifter or druid turning into one. Just curious.

If my memory serves me, then I recall seeing a Dragon shifter in my party that didn’t have True Seeing. Could be wrong there.

But yes, a lot of NPC’s still have True Seeing, including Dragons and Undead. It’s only really players that are effected IIRC.

Hi,

I've updated viewtopic.php?p=2398#p2398 to reflect the changes made to Blackstone Keep. Let me know if there's anything more missing.

Thanks to The Flying Rodent, Masc-Inc and Wing--Zero for contributing with their feedback to this.

A handful of blasty spells have also had their damage caps increased
