EFU: Spell Changes

Tala · October 15, 2014, 01:03:03 PM

Spell Changes and Custom Spells:

EFU has undergone massive changes to vanilla NWN spells. What's more - Specialist Wizards receive even further bonuses to their school of choice. Please refer to the list below for the current changes.

Optional New Spells:

New, EFU specific spells are marked with an *. Until further notice, they can't be accessed, due to transition to EE. Hopefully they'll be around again in a short while.

Common Spells

All Cantrips are 1d4 + 1 in damage.
Summon duration has been reduced to 4 rounds/level for vanilla casting, 5 rounds/level for SF: Conjuration and the usual 6 rounds/level for GSF: Conjuration (i.e. casters with GSF: Conjuration will, for the most part, be unaffected by this change). To compensate for losing transmutation spells for spell school specialization: conjuration, this will grant an additional 2 rounds/level duration on summoning spells. Default summons reflect a basic Underdark type of theme. A number of additional themes are available through reagents, items, and other means in game. Modified to consider Pale Master levels. PCs can speak through their summons using the chat command "/v s <message>".</message>. For additional information see: http://www.efupw.com/forums/index.php?topic=46722.0
Animate Dead/Create Undead - Animation has been heavily customized on EFU and both spells depend on the type/quality of the corpse and furthermore they can be experimented on, given weapons to equip, etc. Please refer to Diz-e's "Necromancy Guide". Summons created by animate dead without corpses have received a downgrade. They now have wizard AB progression, lower AC and no automatic strength upgrades.
Bull's Strength/Endurance/Eagle's Splendor/Fox's Cunning/Cat's Grace/Owl's Wisdom have been changed as follows:
- A caster without SF nor GSF: Transmutation casts the spell as normal with a 1 + 1d4 enhancement
- A caster with SF: Transmutation casts the spell using the best roll of 2 (1+1d4) rolls for enhancement
- A caster with GSF: Transmutation casts the spell using the best roll of 3 (1+1d4) rolls for enhancement
Protection from/Elements/Resist Elements/Endure Elements have been changed as follows:
- No modification for vanilla casting (duration 24 hours).
- The absorption limit is increased by 5 for SF: Abjuration
- The absorption limit is increased by another 5 for GSF: Abjuration
Magic Circle against alignment is now the same as casting Protection from Evil/Good/Chaos/Law on everybody within three meters. (Chaos and Law requiring downloading spell override).
Lesser Dispel Magic/Dispel Magic/Greater Dispel Magic are updated to allow the maximum caster level to be improved through spell focus and greater spell focus abjuration. These spells can be resisted by Spell Resistance.
- When targeting a target, a caster with SF and GSF Divination can destroy a Mirror Image when targeting a Mirror Image with all three.
- When targeting an area, a caster with SF Divination can destroy Mirror Images up to: 3 with Disepl, 5 with Greater Dispel.
- When targeting an area, a caster with GSF Divination can destroy Mirror Images up to: 2 with Lesser Dispel, 6 with Dispel, 10 with Greater Dispel.
Lesser Spell Breach/Greater Spell Breach are updated to increase the number of effects dispelled by one if the caster has Spell Focus Abjuration, by an additional one if the caster also has Greater Spell Focus Abjuration, and reduced by one of the target has Arcane Defense Abjuration.
Hold Person/Hold Animal/Hold Monster were updated to use mind spell saves.
Summon Shadow - Shadow Clone:
- Summon Shadow of Shadow Conjuration, Greater Shadow Conjuration and Shades has been changed to use special shadow summons. Shadow Summon is activated by using the "Summon Shadow" variant of each of the spells and targeting the ground. The Shadow Clone will take the likeness of the closest PC to the targeting of the spell, or the likeness of the caster if no other PC can be found. Shadow Summon is considered both incorporeal (50% concealment) and undead creature (for instance, healing spells damage while negative energies heal the creature). When used from items, the summon will take the form of the caster regardless of the target.
- You can only have one shadow summon active at the time and no other summons. Summon Shadow copies the abilities of its target with the following differences:
  - Mental ability points (INT, WIS, CHA) are always capped to maximum of 3.
  - Shadow Conjuration: Copied physical ability points (STR, DEX, CON) are capped to a maximum of 7 points for non-caster targets and when used from items. This cap is increased to 11 points if the caster targets herself. Duration is 5 rounds + 1 round per caster level.
  - Greater Shadow Conjuration: Copied physical ability points are capped to a maximum of 9 points for non-caster targets and when used from items. This cap is increased to 13 points if the caster target herself. Duration is 10 rounds + 1 round per caster level.
  - Shades: Copied physical ability points are capped to a maximum of 11 points for non-caster targets and when used from items. There is no cap for physical ability points if the caster targets herself. Duration is 15 rounds + 1 round per caster level.
- In addition to the above, all summoned Shadows gain the following bonuses depending on the casterâ€™s Spell School if she is a wizard or Greater Spell Focuses if she is a sorcerer (multiple bonuses stack for sorcerers):
  - Abjuration: The shadow gains Spell Resistance 12, 14 and 16 respectively
  - Conjuration: Duration is increased by 5 rounds.
  - Evocation: The shadow gains 20%/30%/50% increased movement speed, respectively.
  - Transmutation: The shadow gains +1 to str, con and dex and increases these caps with the same amount.
  - Illusion: The caster becomes ethereal for 1 round after casting the spell on herself.
  - Necromancy: The shadow gains 5/- resistance against divine and positive energies and +2 regeneration.
- Note: It is entirely possible this spell will be heavily modified as time goes by, we'll see how it works.
