Addressed to: Everyone
=== March 2009 Envoy Reports ===
o Immunity(Poisons) will now give increased resistance to all poisons as
well as a great boost (equal to and stacking with trans resilience
itself) to the "immune" venom.
o The tarantula ecology familiar will now give 10dmp cold resistance
instead of highjump.
o The Web ability, part of Spellcasting(Beastmastery), has been removed
and changed to hypnoticgaze. See the AB for more information.
o Chop (Environment) will allow chopping without wielding the axe.
Syntax has been added to specify the axe, see the AB for more
information.
o Shrine Cure no longer provides passive affliction healing but instead
allows access to PRAY FOR CURE, which cures three afflictions at once
for same power cost but less equilibrium use than green/gedulah.
o Sleepmist(Dreamweaving) now carries the same restrictions as other
demesne abilities in terms of having an effect when the owner isn't
present in the meld.
o The Quickburn option has been added to smudges in Ecology, please see
the ABs.
o Brumetower(Night) is now limited to one per person at a given time.
Recasting will automatically remove the old one.
o Toads will now dodge half as well as they used to.
o DEMESNE SENSE's equilibrium use has been halved.
o Severed leg tendons will no longer be cured by allheale.
o Shrivel(Necromancy) will no longer cost power as long as the victim is
bound by the caster's crucifix.
o Sacrifice(Necromancy) will only now work on victims who are crucified
on your own crucifix.
o MountainSmudge(Ecology) will always break at least one limb.
=== Miscellaneous Changes ===
o It is no longer possible to redefine kata forms while using them as
part of autokata.
o Choke(Telekinesis) will work if the victim is on a different
elevation.
o Hexen Throat will not cause untrapped errors.
o Teleport Nexus (Planar) requires both balance and equilibrium to use.
o The checks for Pentangle and Hexangle (Spellcraft) were reversed in
one case. This has been fixed.
o Ascendents making meld times longer will no longer occur if the
ascendents are in different manses.
o More intelligent messages have been made for trying to misuse
Tinkering enchantment objects.
o The newbie channel now ignores planar restrictions entirely. Do not
abuse this to circumvent restrictions!
o HexenThroat will no longer reach from one manse to another.
o Being crucified will now show in DIAGNOSE.
o Looking at a person on another elevation (such as with a seeing stone)
will no longer have side effects as if you've changed elevation, such as
breaking coven circles.
o Using distant viewing methods (like seeing stones) to look at someone
who's flying will correctly show the target's elevation.
o When a proposal of marriage is accepted, the item will no longer seem
to be still wielded by the proposer.
Enjoy!
