Some additions to 1.47

I was looking over the Nexus and saw a few items I really want to add in to the pack to make them available on PWs using my content.  Credit to the authors is listed in the 1.47 update bullets with the actual items added.

New items: Whips, Dire Flails, a vfx for sleeping (Z's floating above the head. I'll try to make it a new emote but it will be a free epithet feat if not), and a vfx for playing music (music notes above the head, same as the sleeping vfx for implementation).

I'll be looking at some new item properties as well both to expand the set that is there and to try and add my new base classes to the class restriction set of item properties.

Something for 1.48 and beyond is I'll finish the tool I wrote a few years ago to auto-generate all the needed caster levels for scrolls/potions and finish the project where I put some of my spells onto scrolls/potions. For the record, the bulk of my content will NOT be put onto scrolls/potions because scrolls/potions/wands are already abused to hell and back. I'll document the "How" for servers/module authors.

Last Update: Thursday, July 30th, 2015

Currently in progress...

I'm taking a break from the Dalelands server. In the meantime, I'm working to remove the DB specific changes from my baseline so that I can create a new SP and MP release of my 1.46 release. It will include the Beastmaster, a revamped Cure spell system (augment correctly working, new feats, new spells), support for an Arcane version of the Sacred Fist, a Heavy Xbow version of the Marksman, and all of the changes since the 1.42.1 update was released.

The search begins

I need to find a host (or likely a VPS) for a server. Decisions, Decisions.

PW Ruleset Idea # 1

Barbarian (medium armor, rage)
Bard
Beastmaster
Bloodrager (barbaric sorcerer with blood magic)
Brawler (unarmed master of combat)
Champion (to Battle Scion, Paladin, Anti-Paladin, Duskblade, Hexblade, Bladesinger/Songblade)
Dark Paladin (only if custom spellbooks to hide good only spells, otherwise Champion)
Dragonfire Adept (breath weapon specialist)
Dread Necromancer
Druid (druid without wildshape, maybe without companion)
Duelist
Elementalist
Elemental Singer (integrate into Bladesinger?)
Factotum
Fighter
Healer
Hexblade (integrate into Champion?)

Tactician (or Strategist)
Thug
Weave Walker (bamf)
Witch
Witch Hunter
Wizard

Archer types (overview notes)
Arcane Marksman
Hunter
Ranger
(Scout)
Marksman?

Potentials
Marshal (like Skald but more military less story)
Fury - Sonic and Lightning
Spellweaver - Sings fragments of magic into a dynamic song/effect set
Tempest?

Updates resume

The 1.45 update is finally completed and delivered to Dalelands so now I'll work to strip their stuff out of my baseline and generate a new SP and MP version for the community.

In the meantime when I'm not doing the aforementioned tedious/boring thing I've got the Armiger in game and undergoing initial trials. It shares a lot of the same foundation as the Knight and Tactician so once the Armiger passes the initial stage I'll cycle the others and start working on the unique features of each (instead of the common set of feats).  There should be a lot of new combat feats in this update as well as I've been playing with a few on the Armiger. LOL
