New Domains

That's right! We are adding twenty two new domains, designed specifically for Escape from Underdark. These are entirely optional, and can be accessed simply by downloading a "domains.2da" override and unzipping it into your NWN override directory.

This new "domains.2da" override adds the following exciting new domains:

• Chaos Domain Spells: Cloud of Bewilderment (3), Confusion (5) Abilities: Turn Outsiders.

• Luck Domain Spells: True Strike (1), Bestow Curse (2), Protection from Spells (6) Abilities: Defensive Roll.

• Law Domain Spells: Clarity (2), Hold Monster (5) Abilities: Turn Outsiders.

• Ooze Domain Spells: Grease (1), Stinking Cloud (3), Evard's Black Tentacles (4) Abilities: Command Slimes.

• Cavern Domain Spells: Darkness (1), One with the Land (2), Call Lightning (4) Abilities: Once/day, gain a temporary +3 Search, +3 Spot, +3 Listen bonus that lasts for one turn/level, usable only in caverns.

• Metal Domain Spells: Shelgarn's Persistent Blade (1), Darkfire (2), Keen Edge (5) Abilities: Once/day, add temporary fire damage to your weapon for one round/level: +1 Fire damage for non-hammer weapons, and +1d4 Fire damage for hammers. This should stack with Darkfire.

Racial Powers Certain racial domains grant a once/day racial power. This power grants a temporary +1 AB and +1 save bonus versus fear, plus +1 to whatever that race's associated stat is (STR for orcs, CON for dwarves, DEX for elves/drow and halflings, INT for gnomes), and +2 AB versus that race's favored enemy (Elves for orcs and drow, Orcs for dwarves and elves, Goblins for halflings, and Kobolds for gnomes) for all friendly members of that race within 30ft, lasting one round/level.

Ooh! How do I get it? To get the new domains, simply download the following "domains.2da" file, unzip it, and put it in the "override" directory inside your NWN folder. If you already have the Luck Domain override, you should be able to overwrite it -- the Luck Domain is included with the others in this package.

Do I now need this to play on EfU? No! It is entirely optional. You simply won't be able to create a character using the new domains if you don't have the override.

Will these new domains work elsewhere? Simply put, no. The new domains will not work at all on other servers -- such servers will likely reject the character immediately. They may work to a certain extent in single player, but the domain abilities will not be available.
