How will the dwarven craft bonus apply to brewing?

Last I knew, Taunt prevented word of recall.

Crafting skills refers to skinning and also one specific cabal skill. It does not refer to brewing.

You would think that only quaff heal counters taunt so it doesnt really just makes it more expensive to use.

Is there a change planned? No. Will a change be needed? Possibly. The game is fluid and changes always necessitate other changes. But the reflex change is easily tweaked, so its more likely that we would start there rather than change word of recall.

Does the reflex save make it so you can resist falling yourself when bashing/tripping?

No.

Does the spell item include weapons with spell buffs on them such as deafness etc?

Yes, although I hadn't thought about that. They weren't the target of the change so might be excluded in the future.

- Fire/cold/lightning damage is not reduced by racial magic resistance


Will this affect centaurs then?

They shake off the cold with ease and even shrug off the effects of acid, but are in turn more vulnerable to fire.

Or are we only talking about the halfling and other races resistance?

and some quirk of their constitution makes them resistant to magic

Centaurs are not resistant to magic, they are resistant to real acid and cold. They will continue to be resistant to acid and cold (as well as vulnerable to fire).

Races that are resistant to magic (as mentioned in their help files) include elves, deep-elves, sprites and halflings.

- Reflex save to avoid being knocked prone due to attack skills

This includes both bash and trip I assume already. Does this also include the AoE heaving bulk bash from NPCs? I assume this does not include the spells earthquake and dig, as they are not attack "skills" correct?

using bash or trip in pk will be suicidal now. the reflex save against prone should work just like it does for other reflex saving throws - reduce the effect by 1/2 like with acid blast, hellfire, flamestrike, fireball, etc. if u make the saving throw, it should reduce the duration of prone by 1/2 and if u fail the saving throw then ur prone for the full duration.

the chance to knock someone prone with bash is below 50% in my own tests (against targets with 0 reflex), but u still get lagged if they make the saving throw. it is way, way too risky to use trip or bash now - the risk/reward is skewed horribly against the tripper/basher.

It does not include heaving bulk smash. But earthquake and dig already granted a reflex save to avoid prone even before this change.
