New Features:
- Auto Newbie
The purpose of this new auto command is to
educate newbies and protect from accidental
death. While active on both PCs, those of
Amateur status can't attack or be attacked by
any other player. Defaults to ON at login.
- Fort/Reflex/Will Saving Throw System
This new saving throw system has only three
categories instead of the five of the old
system. Example spells for each category:
* Fortitude: Plague, Petrify, Finger of Death
* Reflex: Color Spray, Flamestrike, Fireball
* Willpower: Dominate, Summon, Dispel Magic
- Spirit Doll (spell)
This spell for shamans creates a doll from
a dead creature's bodypart. The doll grants
certain bonuses based on victim race and is
necessary for a full voodoo. The doll can
be used multiple times before wearing out.
- Fury (skill)
Once trained, this barbarian skill may take
affect at the same time as berserk. Berserk
healing is increased, bonuses to fortitute
and willpower saves are granted and attack
speed with all weapons is increased.
- Specialize (skill)
Once trained, mercs may specialize in the
use of a weapon. This weapon is a specific
weapon type such as broadsword, not swords
in general. Weapon specialization increases
speed and accuracy with all weapons of that
type. A 2nd type can be selected at Expert.
- New Targeting Shortcuts
* Helf can be used in place of half-elf
* Delf can be used in place of deep-elf
