Updated Mechanics Changes

[Howlando]

Updated mechanics changes. Fixes or suggestions welcome. I'd like us to do a better job of keeping this accurate and at least semi-complete.

[Howlando]

In fact, if someone really wants some howland brownie points and wants to take the time to clean up the post even more in terms of formating and how the information is presented, as well as including maybe some other stuff scattered around the forums and website.... why, here's the post code. Simply make the changes and I or another DM can edit it in.

[noparse]
[hide=Major Changes]Major Changes:

Characters start at level 2.

Rolling a 1 is not an auto-failure on spells.

Hours are twenty seven real-life minutes long, instead of two. Turns remain unmodified at one minute. Everything that used to be hour-duration is now 5minutes, unless otherwise modified.

Your character may rest only in an inn room (after having paid the innkeep) or out in the wild with a campfire and bedroll. You may rest once every 20 minutes.

Being a paladin requires having an appropriate deity in your deity field.

Casting spells as a cleric requires have an appropriate deity and domains as well as alignment matching your deity.

Casting spells as a druid requires appropriate deity.

Various spell visual effects have been removed/shortened.

Ability stat bonuses from multiple items do not stack.

Rangers get a special tracking ability (accessible through a player tool or by /c track).

Paladins get a special Detect Evil ability (accessible through player tool or /c detect evil). Paladins are forbidden by their code to knowingly quest with evil characters.

Stealth is more effective in some areas (such as dark caves) than it is in brightly lit rooms. A PC that is transluscent has been heard only, not spotted (this is default, but bears repeating: although difficult to enforce, we ask that people do not definitively identify characters who have only been "heard").

There are various damage modes (subdual, sparring, blackout and full damage) all accessible through the crafting menu, player tools, or voice command (/c subdual, /c full damage, /c sparring, /c subdual blackout). Blackout mode sends a PC into a special "unconscious" area, you can then grab their unconscious body and take it with you somewhere. Familiars/Companions/Summons should be on the damage mode of their master. Note that summons switch to FD as they are being unsummoned, this is a bug and an unavoidable one so be careful.

Characters may choose flavorful "Perks" at level 5. Note - choose carefully, once selected perks can not be changed and there will be no confirmation dialogue to ensure you selected the perk you want.

Characters have access to "EFU Secondary Skill" point system. [/hide]

[hide=Ability Changes]Ability Changes:

"Feeding" your animal companion or familiar can only be done once every fifteen minutes, and will heal 1d4 hitpoints.

An animal companion or familiar's master will lose experience and d6 HP when their associate dies, as a result of mental anguish from the close mental bond between the two. The loss of a familiar incurs 100 XP loss; the loss of an animal companion incurs 200 XP loss.

Trickery domain power will give a Bluff bonus rather than a Persuade bonus.

Death Domain shadow avatar will not appear before level four. The avatars have also been modified to be appropriate for each particular deity.

Turn Undead has been modified to allow for commanding as well as destroying. Specifically,

• Clerics with an evil alignment will command the undead.

Clerics with the Good domain will command good-aligned outsiders.
Clerics with the Evil domain will command evil-aligned outsiders.
Clerics with the Fire domain will command Fire Elementals (likewise for the Earth, Air, and Water domains).[/LIST]Skill Changes:

Bioware pickpocket is disabled. Pickpocketing is done via a pickpocket tool, subject to our own custom limitations. See forums for details.

Use Magic Device requires a DC Check of 15 + spell level to successfully use a wand. If you do not succeed in your check, a charge is not expended. Some DM-only loot may not work this way.

Scroll use with UMD requires a check of 25 + spell level of scroll, scroll is not lost if you fail.

Craft Weapons - Bioware crafting is not supported.

Clerics must worship a deity accepted by our system. The character's alignment and domains must match with this deity. Additional domains are available via override.

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. Racial powers are unlocked via Crafting Menu -> Player Tools.

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.

You've begged for more domains to add flavor to your cleric concepts, and behold, I provide: 11 new domains. Download the override here and unzip the 2DAs to your override folder; you're done! This is completely optional; existing clerics won't be broken. The Faiths of Faerun pages haven't been updated yet, so the deities that are supported are listed below, along with the domain mechanics.

[hide=Rogue]

Rogue
Rogue on EFU is a very versatile class, able to fill a lot of different roles. Although it works well in combination as a multiclass, the EFU DM team would give this additional incentive to remain pure and help better realize your character's concept through sixteen new perks added specifically for rogues - as a bonus to the selection already available.

Some of them have additional bonuses if you play a pure rogue (PRC allowed), some of them only work if you play pure and all of them are selectable at your leisure from the time you hit the required level (as a rogue).

You may only select one level 5 perk and one level 8 perk. Once taken, they are yours even if you drop a few levels.

Level 5 perks:

[INDENT]Diplomat

[INDENT]"You have made a living of moving in diplomatic circles, adapting to the social climate and improving your own skills in the same."

Bonus: +2 Bluff, Intimidate, Persuade[/INDENT]

Engineer

[INDENT]"Mechanical contraptions and magical devices have always fascinated you. From an early age you have been fiddling with different devices, enough to know a bit more than your peers on how to avoid wrecking such."

Bonus: +1 Disable Trap, +1 Open Lock, +1 Use Magic Device
Pure Bonus: 1 random throwable object each reset.[/INDENT]

Locksmith

[INDENT]"The study of locks - particularly belonging to others - has drawn you to it. You know the trademarks of the best locks in Faerun and have picked a few yourself."

Bonus: +3 Open Lock
Pure Bonus: +1 Thieves' Tools each reset.[/INDENT]

Poisoner

[INDENT]"Few things are as deadly or as promising as the poisoner's arts. Through careful study you have learnt to apply poison and your failures have given you an increased resistance to being poisoned."

Bonus: +2 vs Poison
Pure Bonus: 1 random poison each reset, Use Poison Ability[/INDENT]

Smuggler

[INDENT]"Transferring illegal contraband from one place to another is a thrill you chase. Whether successful or not, you have learnt enough to carry on with the trade and how to avoid getting caught with contraband that'll see you dead."

Bonus: +3 Pick Pocket
Pure Bonus: Able to better hide items when being searched.[/INDENT]

Thief

[INDENT]"Personal property is a foreign word to you and so you pay it no heed. Whether a two-story man, cutpurse or enterprising looter, you know how to open locks people make much effort to keep locked and get away with the contents."

Bonus: +2 Open Lock, +1 Hide and Move Silently[/INDENT]

Trapsmith

[INDENT]"The careful application of a length of wire, the keeping of tension where the thread is cut, the concealed manner of placement - you know a lot about traps and it keeps you alive."

Bonus: +2 Disable Trap, +2 Set Trap, +2 Search
Pure Bonus: 1 random trap each reset.[/INDENT][/INDENT]

Level 8 perks:

All these perks require you to remain pure.

[INDENT]Archaeologist

[INDENT]"Delving into old ruins, studying lost civilization and uncovering strange artifacts, the life of an archaeologist enticed you from the beginning and over time you have only grown more experienced in studying ancient ruins, searching for the lost."

Perk bonuses: +2 Disable Trap, +2 Lore, +2 Search, +2 Spot, +4 Saving Throw vs Traps (All).[/INDENT]

+1 AB, +1 AC, +5% movement speed, +10 temporary hitpoints, +2 will, +2 concentration, +2 discipline, 5/+1 Damage Reduction for 10 damage.

Perk Bonuses: +4 Appraise, 2d20 gp each rest.[/INDENT]

Politician

[INDENT]"Your character's ordeals and trials in the game of politics have paid off, giving you increased presence. Your character receives +2 charisma to represent his force of personality."

Scout

Shadow

[INDENT]"Years of elusive play has made you a part of the background, more easily concealed in both day and night."

Swashbuckler

[INDENT]"A swift cut here, a taunt there and an impossible backflip that leaves you out of harm's way - the way of a Swashbuckler. You have learnt the art of fighting a style that most consider mere theatrics than actual swordplay. Of course, you know better."

Perk bonus:

Swashbuckling 1/day

Get bonuses and penalty depending on number of enemies nearby:

0-1: +1 AB, +1 AC, -1 damage.
2-3: +2 AB, +2 AC, -2 damage.

Perk bonuses: +1 AB, 2/+4 DR, 10 temporary hitpoints after rest.[/INDENT][/INDENT]

[/hide]

[hide=Bard]Bard

Henceforth, bards will be able to acquire songbooks in which they can collect several unique songs and curses. When a bard possesses a songbook with songs in it she may "activate" a song, after which the Bard Song ability will use that song. To switch back to the default song, choose the option to deactivate the songbook. A songbook is not required to use the ability itself.

Songbooks allow bards to scribe known songs at variable costs and absorb other songbooks. The latter will copy any unknown song from the source songbook to the target songbook and proceed to destroy the source songbook. All characters may also destroy songbooks directly. Given the rarity of some songs, this can be a serious blow to the songbook's owner -- that should be kept in mind by all parties, which is not to say that songbooks are in any way sacred (quite the contrary). Individual songs may not be transferred directly from one book to another, though bards may remove songs from any given songbook.

Take not that all information about songs is stored on the songbooks themselves, not the characters. This may seem obvious but it can have some unforeseen consequences, such as Bard Song suddenly not using the song you expected it to.

Some chat commands are provided as well. Type /c songbook help for more.

The songs, of course, are a secret, but as a teaser the vast majority of them have a distinctly EfU feel. Look forward to hopefully seeing some of these as loot.

[/hide]
Barbarians

10% movement speed increase feat disabled if in heavy armor.

Barbarian Damage Reduction, disabled in heavy armor.
Level 5 10% damage reduction
level 7 20% damage reduction

Level 8 20% movement speed bonus that's lost with heavy armor.

Charisma bonus is applied to strength/con while raging. (Example a fourteen charisma barbarian would get +2 strength and +2 con in addition to the base +4str/+4con. His rage would be +6 str/+6 con.) Negative charisma will also reduce rage bonuses using this same formula.

Level 1 rage is capped at +4/+4 (Total)
Level 4 rage is capped at +8/+8
Level 8 rage uncapped

Rangers and Druids

Ranger tracking has been improved (this may need tweaking)
Druids now receive tracking at level 6

10% movement speed increase if the PC has 3 druid/ranger levels, and is in a wilderness area
15% movement speed increase if the PC has 6 druid/ranger levels, and is in a wilderness area
20% movement speed increase if the PC has 9 druid/ranger levels, and is in a wilderness area

Rangers receive an AB bonus vs. their favored enemies.
This AB bonus is equal to ranger level/2, rounded down.

Rangers receive a +4 spot/listen/search bonus if they have 5 ranger levels and are in a wilderness area.

Prestige Classes

Have gone through considerable adjustments, see elsewhere for details.[/hide]

[hide=Feat Changes to Spells]Feat Changes to Spells

• 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 with a 2+1d3 enhancement
• A caster with GSF: Transmutation casts the spell with a 3+1d2 enhancement

• Ball Lightning has been downgraded to do 1d9 damage per ball as opposed to 2d6.
• Shield has been changed as follows:
• A caster without SF nor GSF: Abjuration casts the spell as normal. It grants +4 deflection AC.
• A caster with SF: Abjuration casts the spell with a +2 armor enhancement bonus (does not stack with mage armor)
• A caster with GSF: Abjuration casts the spell with a +4 armor enhancement bonus (does not stack with mage armor)
• This  is designed to counteract the weirdness of abjurers being worse at  protecting themselves than mages of other schools (by missing out on the  mage armor spell). This brings them up to a par again, with protection  consistent with casting mage armor on oneself.

• 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.
• Clairvoyance/Clairaudience has been changed as follows:
• Vanilla casting casts the spell as normal.
• Double duration for SF: Divination
• Double again for GSF: Divination
• If  the caster has GSF: Divination and targets themselves, then they will  also receive a glowy eye effect and 5/+1 damage reduction to represent a  sort of minor form of premonition (consolation for missing out on  ghostly visage).

• Masochism has been changed as follows:
• Vanilla casting casts the spell as normal
• HP reduction denominator decreased from 5 to 4 in case of SF: Enchantment
• HP reduction denominator decreased from 5 to 3 in case of GSF: Enchantment

• Vampiric touch has been changed as follows:
• Vanilla casting deals only 1d5 damage per 2 levels
• 1d6 damage per 2 levels for SF: Necromancy (consistent with what it used to be)
• 1d7 damage per 2 levels for GSF: Necromancy

• Cure blindness/deafness has been changed as follows:
• Vanilla casting is unaffected
• If cast with SF: Divination, the spell will give a residual 2 round/level immunity to blindness and deafness.
• If cast with GSF: Divination, the spell will give a residual 5 round/level immunity to blindness and deafness.

• Clarity has been changed as follows:
• Vanilla casting is unaffected
• With SF: Abjuration, the duration is doubled
• With GSF: Abjuration, the duration is doubled again

• See invisible has been changed to have double duration for GSF: Divination
• True strike has been changed as follows:
• Only +15 AB for vanilla casting
• +20 AB for SF: Divination (Consistent with what it used to be)
• +25 AB for GSF: Divination

• Polymorph Self has been changed as follows:
• The duration is only 1 turn/2 levels for vanilla casting
• The duration is 1 turn/level for SF: Transmutation (consistent with what it used to be)
• The duration is 2 turns/level for GSF: Transmutation

• Augment Familiar has been changed as follows:
• Only 1 round/level for vanilla casting
• 2 rounds/level for SF: Transmutation (consistent with what it used to be)
• 3 rounds/level for GSF: Transmutation

• Ghostly visage has been changed as follows:
• 10% concealment for vanilla casting
• 15% concealment for SF: Illusion
• 20% concealment for GSF: Illusion

• Invisibility sphere has been changed as follows

This thread updated for EFU:A[/noparse][/hide]

[Howlando]

:-(

[Random_White_Guy]

I accept this forum challenge!

[TimelessStudy]

[hide=Major Changes]Major Changes:

Characters start at level 2.

Rolling a 1 is not an auto-failure on saving throws.

Hours are twenty seven real-life minutes long, instead of two. Turns remain unmodified at one minute. Everything that used to be hour-duration is now 5minutes, unless otherwise modified.

Your character may rest only in an inn room (after having paid the innkeep) or out in the wild with a campfire and bedroll. You may rest once every 20 minutes.

Being a paladin requires having an appropriate deity in your deity field.

Casting spells as a cleric requires have an appropriate deity and domains as well as alignment matching your deity.

Casting spells as a druid requires appropriate deity.

Various spell visual effects have been removed/shortened.

Ability stat bonuses from multiple items do not stack. Bonuses from items and spells will stack

Rangers get a special tracking ability (accessible through a player tool or by /c track). This skill is based upon Search, Spot, and Lore

Paladins get a special Detect Evil ability (accessible through player tool or /c detect evil). Paladins are forbidden by their code to knowingly quest with evil characters.

Stealth is more effective in some areas (such as dark caves) than it is in brightly lit rooms. A PC that is transluscent has been heard only, not spotted (this is default, but bears repeating: although difficult to enforce, we ask that people do not definitively identify characters who have only been "heard").

There are various damage modes (subdual, sparring, blackout and full damage) all accessible through the crafting menu, player tools, or voice command (/c subdual, /c full damage, /c sparring, /c subdual blackout). Blackout mode sends a PC into a special "unconscious" area, you can then grab their unconscious body and take it with you somewhere. Familiars/Companions/Summons should be on the damage mode of their master. Note that summons switch to FD as they are being unsummoned, this is a bug and an unavoidable one so be careful.

Characters may choose flavorful "Perks" at level 5. Note - choose carefully, once selected perks can not be changed and there will be no confirmation dialogue to ensure you selected the perk you want.

Characters have access to "EFU Secondary Skill" point system. [/hide]

[hide=Ability Changes]Ability Changes:

"Feeding" your animal companion or familiar can only be done once every fifteen minutes, and will heal 1d4 hitpoints.

An animal companion or familiar's master will lose experience and d6 HP when their associate dies, as a result of mental anguish from the close mental bond between the two. The loss of a familiar incurs 100 XP loss; the loss of an animal companion incurs 200 XP loss.

Trickery domain power will give a Bluff bonus rather than a Persuade bonus.

Death Domain shadow avatar will not appear before level four. The avatars have also been modified to be appropriate for each particular deity.

Turn Undead has been modified to allow for commanding as well as destroying. Specifically,

• Clerics with an evil alignment will command the undead.

Clerics with the Good domain will command good-aligned outsiders.
Clerics with the Evil domain will command evil-aligned outsiders.
Clerics with the Fire domain will command Fire Elementals (likewise for the Earth, Air, and Water domains).[/list]Skill Changes:

Bioware pickpocket is disabled. Pickpocketing is done via a pickpocket tool, subject to our own custom limitations. See forums for details.

Use Magic Device requires a DC Check of 15 + spell level to successfully use a wand. If you do not succeed in your check, a charge is not expended. Some DM-only loot may not work this way.

Scroll use with UMD requires a check of 25 + spell level of scroll, scroll is not lost if you fail.

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. Racial powers are unlocked via Crafting Menu -> Player Tools.

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.

You've begged for more domains to add flavor to your cleric concepts, and behold, I provide: 11 new domains. Download the override here and unzip the 2DAs to your override folder; you're done! This is completely optional; existing clerics won't be broken. The Faiths of Faerun pages haven't been updated yet, so the deities that are supported are listed below, along with the domain mechanics.

[hide=Rogue]

Rogue

Rogue on EFU is a very versatile class, able to fill a lot of different roles. Although it works well in combination as a multiclass, the EFU DM team would give this additional incentive to remain pure and help better realize your character's concept through sixteen new perks added specifically for rogues - as a bonus to the selection already available.

Some of them have additional bonuses if you play a pure rogue (PRC allowed), some of them only work if you play pure and all of them are selectable at your leisure from the time you hit the required level (as a rogue).

You may only select one level 5 perk and one level 8 perk. Once taken, they are yours even if you drop a few levels.

Level 5 perks:

Bonus: +3 Pick Pocket
Pure Bonus: Able to better hide items when being searched.[/indent]
Thief
[indent]"Personal property is a foreign word to you and so you pay it no heed. Whether a two-story man, cutpurse or enterprising looter, you know how to open locks people make much effort to keep locked and get away with the contents."

Bonus: +2 Open Lock, +1 Hide and Move Silently[/indent]
Trapsmith

Pure Bonus: 1 random trap each reset.[/indent][/indent]
Level 8 perks:

All these perks require you to remain pure.

[hide=Bard]Bard

Henceforth, bards will be able to acquire songbooks in which they can collect several unique songs and curses. When a bard possesses a songbook with songs in it she may "activate" a song, after which the Bard Song ability will use that song. To switch back to the default song, choose the option to deactivate the songbook. A songbook is not required to use the ability itself.

Songbooks allow bards to scribe known songs at variable costs and absorb other songbooks. The latter will copy any unknown song from the source songbook to the target songbook and proceed to destroy the source songbook. All characters may also destroy songbooks directly. Given the rarity of some songs, this can be a serious blow to the songbook's owner -- that should be kept in mind by all parties, which is not to say that songbooks are in any way sacred (quite the contrary). Individual songs may not be transferred directly from one book to another, though bards may remove songs from any given songbook.

Take not that all information about songs is stored on the songbooks themselves, not the characters. This may seem obvious but it can have some unforeseen consequences, such as Bard Song suddenly not using the song you expected it to.

Some chat commands are provided as well. Type /c songbook help for more.

The songs, of course, are a secret, but as a teaser the vast majority of them have a distinctly EfU feel. Look forward to hopefully seeing some of these as loot.

[hide=Feat Changes to Spells]Feat Changes to Spells

• 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

• Feeblemind has been changed to drain all three of intelligence, charisma and wisdom
• Summons created by animate dead without corpses have received a downgrade. They now have wizard AB progression, lower AC and no automatic strength upgrades.
• Haste has been changed as follows:
  • Vanilla haste is unaffected.
  • Haste with SF: Transmutation provides an additional 5% movement speed increase if targeted on the caster
  • Haste with GSF: Transmutation provides an additional 10% movement speed increase if targeted on the caster.

[hide=Dwarves and their Subrace Choices] Dwarves and their Subrace choices:
 
Gold Dwarf: Unlike the shield dwarves, the gold dwarves maintained their great kingdom in the Great Rift and did not decline in terrible wars against evil humanoids. While they practiced some magic, they never acquired the hubris that caused the downfall of some human nations. Confident and secure in their remote home, the gold dwarves gained a reputation for haughtiness and pride.
 
Since the Thunder Blessing, many young gold dwarves have left the Great Rift and are exploring the rest of Faerûn. The folk of other lands have learned that while some gold dwarves are aloof and suspicious, for the most part they are forthright warriors and shrewd traders.

• Ability Adjustments: -2 Dex, +2 Cha.

• Keywords:gold dwarf.

Grey Dwarf: Long ago, mind-flayers conquered the strongholds of clan Duergar of the dwarven kingdom of Shanatar. After generations of enslavement and cruel experimentation at the hands of the illithids, the duergar rose against their masters and regained their freedom. They emerged as a new subrace of dwarf with limited mental powers.
 
The gray dwarves are an evil and bitter race, but retain the superior skill and workmanship of dwarvenkind. They have found a niche for themselves in the Underdark, creating armor and weapons to trade with the warring races of that realm. They seem to have been denied the Thunder Blessing.
 
Duergar on the whole are evil, but some turn their backs on their fellows and seek a different sort of life. For some, this means abandoning the evil gods of the duergar and embracing the traditional pantheon, while for others it is a more practical betrayal, usually involving stealing from other gray dwarves. When discovered, an outcast is typically stripped of his possessions, tattooed on the face and arms to mark him as a criminal, and cast out under penalty of death. Some clans secretly aid their outcasts – or encourage them to leave before they are found out. To return is to die.
 
This grim fate drives most outcasts to the surface, where they struggle to survive in an unwelcoming world. The surface dwarves hate the duergar because they turned to evil, and no other surface race holds much love for the gray dwarves. Most of the gray dwarves met by surface dwellers are tattooed exiles, although a small number were lucky or smart enough to leave before being discovered. Male and female duergar are bald, and women do not grow beards. They are much thinner than other dwarves, with severe facial expressions, gray hair, and gray skin.

• Keywords: duergar, gray dwarf.

　
Shield Dwarf(1): The sculpted halls and echoing chambers of dwarven kingdoms are scattered throughout the Underdark like forgotten necklaces of semiprecious stones. Dwarven kingdoms such as Xonathanur, Oghrann, and Gharraghaur taught the less civilized races of Faerûn what it meant to hold and wield power. Unlike the ancient human empires, the dwarves distrusted magic, so they were never seduced by the heights of magical folly that toppled Netheril and Imaskar. Instead, the dwarves become locked in eternal wars with goblin-kind and the other dwellers in the Underdark. One by one, the dwarven empires of the north failed, leaving only scattered survivors in the mountains or unconquered sections of the Underdark.
 
The clans that survived these battles are the shield dwarves. For many human generations there were divided into two types: the Hidden, given to reclusion and secrecy, and the Wanderers, comfortable with other races and inclined to exploration. Since the Thunder Blessing, the older members of Hidden clans are beginning to change their hearts. Within a few decades the differences between Hidden and Wanderer may become meaningless.

• Favored Alignment: Lawful neutral.
  
• Application: No.
  
• Keywords: N/A.

　
Wild Dwarf: Wild dwarves, who call themselves "dur Authalar" (the People), are the primitive inhabitants of the Jungles of Chult and the Mhair and Black Jungles. They have largely rejected the clan-based craft and smith-oriented culture of their gold, gray, and shield dwarf cousins, choosing instead to live in hunting bands with ever-shifting memberships. Eschewing all trappings of civilization, wild dwarves live like beasts, engaged in an endless hunt for survival. Only those who dare the shadowy depths of Faerûn's southern hungles are even aware of the existence of this barbaric dwarven sub race, for these elusive hunters keep to the depths of their woodland homes.
 
Wild dwarves are dark-skinned, short, and stout, with dark brown eyes. Their heavily tattoed bodies are covered with grease to ward off insects and make them hard to hold. Wild dwarves wear little except their long, woven hair, which serve as adequate clothing. They plaster their hair and skin with mud to form a crude armor when going to war.

[/hide][hide= Elves and their Subraces Choices:]Elves and their Subrace Choices:
　
Drow: Descended from the original dark-skinned elven subrace called the illythiiri, the drow are cursed into their present appearance by the good elven deities for following the goddess Lolth down the path to evil and corruption. Also called dark elves, the drow have black skin that resembles polished obsidian and stark white or pale yellow hair. They commonly have very pale eyes (so pale as to be often mistaken for white) in shades of lilac, silver, pink, and blue. They also tend to be smaller and thinner than most elves. Most drow on the surface are evil and worship Vhaeraun, but some outcasts and renegades have a more neutral attitude.

• Ability Adjustments: +2 Int, +2 Cha.
  
• Bonus Feats: Darkvision.
  
• Skills: Lore +1.

• Application: Yes.
  
• Level Adjustment: 2.
  
• Keywords: dark elf, drow.

　
 
Moon Elf(1): Moon elves are the most common sort of elves in Faerûn. Also called silver elves, they have fair skin (sometimes tinged with blue) and hair of silver-white, black, or blue (though rare, humanlike colors are possible). Their eyes are blue or green, with gold flecks. They are the elven subrace most tolerant of humankind and most half elves are descended from moon elves.

• Favored Alignment: Chaotic good.
  
• Application: No.
  
• Keywords: N/A.

Sun Elf: Sun elves are less common across Faerûn than moon elves, because most live on Evermeet, where non-elves are not allowed to tread. Also called gold elves, they have bronze skin; hair of golden blond, copper, or black; and green or gold eyes. They are seen as the most civilized and haughty of elves, preferring to remain separate from humankind and other non-elven races.

• Ability Adjustments: -2 Dex, +2 Int.

• Favored Class: Wizard.
  
• Favored Alignment: Lawful good, lawful neutral.
  
• Application: No.

Wild Elf: The very rare wild elves are rarely seen by others, because they live in the heard of thick forests and they have incredible skill at keeping hidden. Also called green elves, their skin tends to be dark brown, and their hair ranges from black to light brown, lightening to silvery white with age.

• Ability Adjustments: +2 Con, -2 Int.
  
• Favored Class: Sorcerer.
  
• Favored Alignment: Chaotic good.
  
• Application: No.

Wood Elf: Wood elves are reclusive, but less so than the almost feral wild elves. Also called copper elves, they have coppery skin tinged with green, and brown, green, or hazel eyes. Their hair is usually brown or black, with blond and coppery red occasionally found.

[/hide][hide=Gnomes and their Subrace Choices] Gnomes and their Subrace Choices:
 
Svirfneblin: Hidden in the depths of the Underdark live the svirfneblin, or deep gnomes. Reclusive, suspicious, and resentful of intrusion into their cavern homes, the deep gnomes share little of the humor or openness of their surface cousins. Where a rock gnome community bursts with energy, excitement and laughter, a svirfneblin city is a dull and colorless place of echoing silence and furtive motion in the shadows. All hands are raised against the svirfneblin – or so the deep gnomes believe, anyway. The deep gnome may be the world's stealthiest and most elusive folk.
 
Centuries upon centuries of surviving the deadly perils of the Underdark have bred in this race an amazing gift for avoiding attention. In their cavern homes, they are nearly undetectable with magic and even in the strange and threatening (to them) surface world, the deep gnome's natural stealth makes them difficult to spot or catch. Svirfneblin have gnarled physiques, brown or gray skin, gray eyes, and gray hair (although males are bald). Then tend to be sullen, withdrawn, and suspicious to a fault.

• Ability Adjustments:+2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Wis, -4 Cha.
  
• Bonus Feats: Darkvision. Skills: Craft Trap +2, Hide +2. Saves: Universal +2 universal.

• Level Adjustment: 3.
  
• Keywords: deep gnome, svirfneblin.

Rock Gnome(1): Rock Gnomes are the most common type of gnomes in Faerûn, and are usually just called gnomes since they are the only sort that surface dwellers ever see. They are inquisitive, irrepressible, and at times insincere. Equipped by nature with keen curiosity and a knack for mechanical workings, gnomes excel at intricate crafts such as gemcutting, toymaking and clockwork engineering.

[/hide][hide=Half-Elves and their Subrace Choices] Half-Elves and their Subrace Choices:
 
Deep Imaskari: Secret and few, the deep Imaskari are heirs to the lost empire of Imaskar. One of the earliest human empires, Imaskar rose in what is now the Dust Desert and Plains of Purple Dust. Wizard-kings of heady power, the Imaskari were destroyed by the slaves they had abducted from other worlds (who eventually became the folk of Mulhorand and Unther) and the machinations of unusual creatures of their own creation (the phaerimms). Their empire crumblind, the Imaskari faded away into history, leaving behind nothing but mysterious ruins. A secret few, however, charged with epic wizardry, managed to preserve themselves and their kin. Fleeing deep into the bowels of the earth, they sealed themselves away from both the knowledge and reciminations of the surface world.
 
A deep Imaskari appears mostly human. Her skin looks pale and stonelike, as if expertly sculpted from the finest veined marble, though it is as soft as human skin to the touch (this stonelike appearance is a remnant of the magical alteration that all the Imaskari underwent to survive in Deep Imaskar). Otherwise, a deep Imaskari is tall and slender -- a typical male stands bewtween 5-3/4 and 6 feet high and weighs around 160 pounds, and a female is about half a foot shorter and 40 pounds lighter.

• Ability Adjustments: -2 Dex, +2 Int.
  
• Bonus Feats: Darkvision.

• Application: Yes.
  
• Level Adjustment: 1.
  
• Keywords: deep imaskari.

Half-Drow: Half-drow have dusky skin, silver or white hair, and a broad range of eye colors. They are often just as dark-hearted as their elven parents, but with a bitter resentment that comes from knowing that they are considered second-class members of drow society. In human society, half-drow are distrusted nearly as much as their full-blooded cousins. Despite this, good half-drow are much less rare than good drow. Whether this has to do with the influence of their human blood, or the desire to rebel against the drow who treat them so poorly, is difficult to tell.

• Skills: Bluff +2.
  
• Favored Alignment: Chaotic evil.
  
• Application: Yes.
  
• Keywords: half-drow, half drow.

Half-elf(1): Half-elves have the curiosity and ambition of their human parent, with the refined senses and love of nature of their elven parent, though they are outsiders among both cultures. To humans, half-elves look like elves. To elves, they look like humans. Half-elves are paler, fairer, and smoother-skinned than their human parents, but their actual skin tones and other details vary just as human features do. Half-elves tend to have green, elven eyes.

• Favored Alignment: Any.
  
• Application: No.
  
• Keywords: N/A.

Hobgobblin: Hobgoblins are the larger cousins of goblins, and far more aggressive. They are at constant war with elves and harbor a deep hatred of them. Hobgoblins stand over 6 feet tall, with reddish-brown hair and fur-covered hide. These creatures have a strong grasp of strategy and tactics, and are capable of developing sophisticated battle plans. Their society is geared toward military activities, with young being raised for battle. Under the leadership of a skilled warrior, hobgoblin bands can be formidable opponents.

Gnoll: Gnolls appear as anthropomorphic hyenas. They are usually around seven feet tall and use armor made of horn, metal plates, and leather, and large weapons. Gnolls are generally depicted as savage, barbaric creatures that often practice cannibalism, and enjoy eating the flesh of other sentient species. Gnolls are not especially strong or intelligent, but they are cunning and, when pressed, will fight to the death.

[/hide][hide=Halfings and their subrace choices:] Halflings and their subrace choices:
 
Ghostwise Halfling: These wild, nearly feral halflings rarely leave their confines of the deep forests. Strange and reclusive, they form close-knit communities because of their amazing talents and are uncomfortable with strangers. Like other halflings, they refer to themselves as the hin. They do not have a name for their race, because their culture is almost entirely cut off from outside world, and their awareness of other kinds of halflings is very low.

• Removed Feats: Lucky.
  
• Favored Class: Ranger.
  
• Favored Alignment: Any neutral.
  
• Application: Yes.
  
• Keywords: ghostwise halfling.

Lightfoot Halfling(1): The most common type of halfling seen in the world, the lightfoots are the most likely to give in to their desire to wander. They are at home living side by side with folk of many different races and cultures. Lightfoot halflings are more likely to worship non-halfling deities than any other halfing subrace.

• Favored Alignment: Neutral good, chaotic good.
  
• Application: No.
  
• Keywords: N/A.

Stargazer Halfling: The secretive stargazer halflings are a separate sub race who make their homes in the uncivilized parts of the archipelago. Although universally nocturnal and uncivilized, the stargazers maintain a highly distinct cultural identity between their many different tribes. While some tribes are peaceful and prefer contemplative study of the nightsky above, others practice cannibalism and hunt any intruder. Surrounded by myth, misunderstanding, and secrets, the stargazers are an important group of the archipelago.
 
Stargazers are noticeably paler than other halflings, but otherwise resemble their cousins.

Strongheart Halfling: While the lightfoot halflings value the experience of travel and sight of new lands and peoples, the stronghearts are a more organized, orderly, and industrious race. They build to last and fiercely defend their homelands against threats that their lightfoot kin would simply flee. Northland humans familiar with the easygoing ways of the lightfoot halflings are surprised to learn that some halflings are capable of a warrior tradition and aren't afraid to show a hint of arrogance or confidence in their own abilities and strengths. Strongheart halflings enjoy athletic contests and value exceptional skills of all kinds.

Goblin: Mortal enemies of halflings and gnomes, respectively, and just general enemies of pretty much everyone else, the filthy goblins and kobolds are a menace to societies everywhere. Although fiercely territorial and mostly far away from heavily populated areas, they do not often shy away from raiding when the potential is good; and where they are seldomly more than a nuisance when alone, in great numbers they can cause great havoc.
 
Goblins stand at 3 to 3-1/2 feet tall at 40 to 45 pounds, with dull and glazed eyes in colors ranging from red to yellow -- much like the color of their skin.
 
NB: As a special case, goblin and kobold characters are excempt from all rules of OOC courtesy in PvP normally extended to other races. Ideally, the harsh survival should be the main attraction of these two races, and as such they are fair targets at all times (assuming no other rules are broken). While they may still defend themselves if attacked, this is a one way rule. Applications for these races are also especially easy to have approved because of this.

Kobolds reach heights of only 2 to 2-1/2 feet, have scaly skin in dark rusty brown to near black shades, glowing red eyes, and nonprehensile tails.

[/hide][hide=Half-Orcs and their subrace choices:] Half-Orcs and their subrace choices:
 
Half-Orc(1): Half-Orcs are the short-tempered and sullen result of human and orc pairings. They would rather act than ponder and would rather fight than argue. They love simple pleasures, such as feasting, boasting, and wild dancing. They are an asset at the right sort of party, but not at the duchess's grand ball. Half-orcs are as tall as humans but their brutish features betray their lineage. They also regard scars as tokens of pride and things of beauty.

Orog: Orogs are very similar in appearance to large mountain orcs, except for somewhat larger ears and huge, pale eyes adjusted to the luminosity of the Underdark. They average six and a half feet in height.
 
Over the years, orogs have become excellent at forging arms and armor from the many metals of the Underdark, equipment they will only rarely leave without.

Grey Orc: The orcs of the eastern lands are concentrated in the Moonsea and Endless Wastes today, with a much smaller number scattered through the various lands that lie between. A gray orc looks less bestial than their more savage norther kin, but is still obviously nonhuman. They are somewhat hairy, with long manes of bristly hair on their heads, shoulders, and backs. Their faces are less porcine than the mountain orcs, with the exception of their tusks. They have yellow, orange, or red eyes, lupine ears, and black or gray hair. Gray orcs are more apt to wear "civilized" clothing than mountain orcs, and prefer varying shades of brown, black, blue, and other dark colors. Skin tones tend towards gray with mottled patches of lighter or darker gray on the chest and flanks.

Mountain Orc: The orcs of the North and Spine of the World comprise the oldest and most numerous of the various orc sub races active on Faerûn. In fact, many people assume that all orcs are like the savage warmongers found in these regions, and do not identify gray orcs or even half-orcs as separate races.
 
A mountain orc is quite obviously a monstrous creature to most of the civilized folk of Faerûn. Mountain orcs look vaguely like primitive humans but are a fair bit taller at seven or more feet in height; a rare few exceed eight feet in height. They have stocky, powerful necks, and their bestial heads seem to sit directly on their massive shoulders. Their eyes are always a deep shade of red, and their faces are dominated by porcine snouts and large tusks. Mountain orcs often weave braids and tiny bones into their thick matted hair, which is usually black. Their clothing is crude and primitve, often composed of unpleasant colors like blood red, mustard yellow, yellow-green, and deep purple. Far from the cleanest race on Faerûn, they delight in deocrating their bodies with scars and warpaint.

Lizardfolk: Lizardfolk are primitive reptilian humanoids that can be very dangerous if provoked. Their society is strictly patriarchal, the most powerful member ruling over the others. Shamans offer advice but rarely become leaders themselves. Survival is the utmost concern of lizardfolk, and a threatened or starving tribe will go to incredible lengths (even committing deeds considered abominable by other humanoids) to ensure its continued existence.
 
Most tribes live in swamps, but about a third of the population lives in underwater air-filled caves. They survive by fishing, gathering, and scavenging, while those that live near other himanoids make raids for food, supplies, and slaves.
 
Lizardfolk are usually 6 to 7 fet tall with green, gray, or brown scales. Their tails, at 3 to 4 feet's length, are used for balance. Lizardfolk average between 200 and 250 pounds. Their patron deity is Semuanya, whose chief concern is the survival and propagation of its charges.

Bugbear: Bugbears are the biggest and the strongest of the goblinoid races, and are more aggressive than their smaller relatives. They survive primarily by hunting weaker creatures. Although not related to bears, they have hide and claws that resemble those of their namesake. Bugbears are muscular and stand seven feet tall. They prefer to dwell in temperate, mountainous regions, living in small tribal units.

Minotaur: Minotaurs stand quite large at over seven feet, horns not included. They are covered in short, shaggy fur in colours ranging from a light brown to jet-black, which scales in thickness according to the environment's temperature. Minotaur horns measure anywhere from just a few inches for young female minotaurs up to two feet for ancient bulls, either straight or varying degrees of curved in colours ranging from white-gray to black.

Ogre: Big, ugly, and greedy creatures, ogres survive by raiding and scavenging. They associate freely with giants and trolls to prey on the weak.
 
Ogres are notoriously bad-tempered, tending to solve problems by smashing them, or fleeing or ignoring them if that fails. They are not difficult neither when it comes to homes nor food; they will settle almost anywhere and eat nearly anything that can be caught, stolen, or slain.
 
An adult ogre reaches nine to ten feet in height and weighs in at 650 pounds, with skin colours ranging from dull yellow to dull brown.

Troglodyte: Troglodytes are revolting, warmongering lizards who savour the taste of their enemies, humanoids in particular. Their ferocity and innate cunning more than compensate for their low intelligence. Fiercely territorial, and thoroughly evil, they often lead bloody raids against humanoid settlements or ambush caravans that get too close to their hunting grounds. Sometimes, they even expand their hunting grounds just to excuse a raid.

Air Genasi: Air genasi are fast and free-willed. Because the traits that identify an air genasi are subtle, many go unrecognized for what they are for many years and are sometimes mistaken for sorcerers. Those who are overtly different quickly learn to disguise their nature from common folk, at least until they are able to protect themselves and struke out on their own.
Air genasi look human except for one or two distinguishing featers related to their elemental ancestor, such as light blue skin, white hair, or flesh that is cool to the touch.

Earth Genasi: Earth genasi are patient, stubborn, and contemplative in their decision making. Marked at birth with obvious traits reflecting their heritage, earth genasi are often shunned by others, but their physical gifts make them able to defend themselves against most attackers. Earth genasi are obviously not human, but have mostly human features except for one or two distinguishing traits related to their elemental ancestors like earthlike skin, eyes like black pits or gems, very large hands or feet, iron gray hair, or metallic sheen to skin or hair.

Fire Genasi: Fire genasi are usually thought of as hot-blooded and quick to anger, and they hvae earned that reputation. Mercurial, proud, and often fearless, they are not content to sit and watch the world pass them by. Fire genasi have obvious physical traits that mark them as different from humans, and they are often the target of mistrust and persecution. Some fire genasi are able to use their quick wits to turn the tables on their tormentors, while others find that their barbed words only make their foes more angry. Many fire genasi are destroyed as infants by their own parents, who fear that they are demonspawn.
 
Fire genasi often have charcoal gray or deep red skin, red-hued hair, eyes that glow when the genasi is angry, or a constant smell of smoke about them.

Water Genasi: Water genasi are patient and indepentent, used to solving problems on their own and not afraid to take a lot of time doing so. At times they are fierce and destructive like terrible storms, but more often than not they present a tranquil appearance, despite whatever emotions run underneath that quiet surface. Because their elemental forebear usually has no interest in them, water genasi are often abandoned by their human parents and raised instead by aquatic cratures such as aquatic elves, dolphins, locatha, merfolk, sahuagin, or even aboleths. Water genasi usually leave their parents (real or adoptive) upon reaching maturity, taking to the open sea in order to explore, learn, and develop their own personality and place in the world.
 
Water genasi are set apart from humans in appearance with traits such as lightly scaled skin, blue-green skin or hair, or webbed hands and feet.

Human(1): Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest mean they are very physically diverse as well. Skin shades range from nearly black to very pale, hair from black to blond, and facial hair (for men) from sparse to thick. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Tiefling: Because they are descended from evil outsiders, those who know of their ancestry immediately consider most tieflings evil and untrustworthy. Not all tieflings are evil or untrustworthy, but enough are that the prejudice tends to cling. Some tieflings have a minor physical trait suggesting their heritage, such as pointed teeth, red eyes, small horns, the odor of brimstone, cloven feet, or just an unnatural aura of wrongness. Those descended from an infernal minion of a Faerûnian deity often carry a birthmark of the deity’s holy symbol or another trait related to that evil faith.

Palemaster levels were added to:

• Negative Energy Ray
• Ray of Enfeeblement
• Negative Energy Burst
• Vampiric Touch
• Enervation
• Fear

[12 Hatch]

Arcane Eye isn't 10 minutes per level.  I think it's 1 per level, or 2 per level with divination focus?  Not sure exactly, but 10 is incorrect!

[12 Hatch]

Another small error:

Lycanthropes are listed as having 10/+1 DR, with werewolves the exception at 5/+2 DR.  In reality, I believe all of them have both 10/+1 and 5/+2 DR.
