Spider Problem? Smite 'em!
What has Turbine been up to with Dungeons & Dragons Online:
Stormreach (DDO)? Let's take a look:
Resist Energy is now
Spell Changes
available for clerics,
paladins, rangers, and wizards. Protection from Energy is now available
to Rangers, Wizards, and Clerics. This change allows these classes to
cast Protection From Energy and Resist Energy the same way a sorcerer
can, by memorizing a single spell and then choosing which damage type
to ward against. The days of memorizing several Resist Energy:
(Element) are no more! NEW -
Protection from Evil has been fixed to work correctly. It no longer
protects against *all* charms and compulsions (including Otto's,
command, hold monster/person, etc). Rather, it only protects against
charms and compulsions that give ongoing mental control, such as the
vampire's dominate ability. Also, as per D&D rules, it no longer
protects against mental control from evil creatures, but ALL mental
control, regardless of the target's alignment. NEW - Holy smite will now damage
spiders. NEW
- The Teleport spell no longer has a Somatic casting component so
players will not suffer an arcane spell failure chance for Teleport
while wearing armor. NEW - Niac's cold ray now uses the
proper ray cast animation.
There's lots more. Check out the complete list [
