Updates to the new weapons in 1.46 and 1.47

They now have details on the main post. Tonight and tomorrow I'll be working to wrap up the Practiced Invoker issue and then I'll get back to finishing up Beastmaster and stripping out the Dalelands content.

More items for 1.47 and a critical bugfix for 1.46

 A critical engine bug was found with Practiced Invoker that I'm trying to fix. The flaw is that the engine sets the caster level to 0 and only lets you get 2d6 damage total when practiced invoker is used to stack eldritch blast for your character sheet. For some reason the engine loses the fact you have 17 levels of warlock when you add extra dice beyond what warlock normally gets. It actually defaults to a 0 CL returned from the GetCasterLevel function. POS!

As for 1.47: I'm actually am trying to keep it from bloating too big! With a focus on martial classes it makes sense to look into some additional love for them. This of course doesn't include the new armor and shield fields that will be part of the Knight/Armiger yet. Those will be added to the list soon enough.

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.

I may look into adding a few new feats for two-handed weapons. Powerful Grip, Powerful Blows, Spinning Halberd, etc

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.
