Metamagic

Version 1.5 introduces a new implementation of metamagic feats which allows the use of multiple feats with a spell. Due to the limitations of the system, there are a few caveats. First, stacking is only possible through the use of items called metamagic rods. Second, these rods will only work with hooked spells. Spells that have not yet been hooked will gain no benefits from them. You will find Empower, Extend and Maximize rods, in addition to the new feat listed below. Unfortunately, due to engine limitations, Still, Silent and Quicken spell cannot be made into rods at this time.

Version 1.5 also introduces a new Metamagic feat available exclusively through metamagic rods: Energy Substitution. This new feat allows you to alter the energy type of a spell. This opens the doors for many new spells, such as cold bolt, acid ball and sonic weapon just by replacing the energy type. The feat currently has 5 flavors: Acid, cold, electricity, fire and sonic. They do not stack (that's a different feat.) I have attempted, as best I could, to make visual effects for spells match these new damage types. You will note some spells had a larger degreee of success. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

The following spells can currently benefit from elemental substitution: chain lightning, darkfire, fireball, flame arrow, lightning bolt, all level 0-2 elemental spells.

Version 1.6 Changes/Bug Fixes:

- Added Augment Summoning rod and implemented it with the summon creature 1-9 spells.
- Bug #980: Can't substitute acid for firebrand
- Bug #983: Flame Arrow not elemental substituting

Augment Summoning [General]

Your summoned creatures are better than normal.
Prerequisites: Spellcaster level 2nd+.
Benefit: Creatures you conjure with any summon spell gain +1 hit points per Hit Die and a +1 competence modifier on attacks and damage rolls.

Energy Substitution [Metamagic]

You can modify a spell that uses one type of energy to use another type of energy.
Prerequisites: Any other metamagic feat, 5 ranks in Knowledge (arcana).
Benefit: Choose one type of energy: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. You can modify a spell with an energy designator to use the chosen type of energy instead.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times, each time it applies to a different type of energy.
Slots: +0

Use Magic Device

If you attempt to use a scroll, staff or wand with a spell that you cannot cast, you must make a successful Use Magic Device or Spellcraft check. The system will compare ranks in the two skills and use the highest of the two for your character. If you have at least 5 ranks in the lower skill, you will get a +2 synergy bonus for the check.

If you are a divine caster attempting to use an item with an arcane spell or an arcane caster trying to an item with a divine spell, one of the following things will happen:

  • If you have rogue, bard or assassin levels and ranks in UMD, you will make a UMD check - not a spellcraft check.
  • The attempt will fail.

DCs:

25 + spell level for UMD scroll checks.
20 + spell level for staff and wand UMD checks.
20 + spell level for all Spellcraft checks.

Open Bugs:

- Bug #901: Assassin not counted for UMD checks in Spellhooking 1.5

Version 1.2 changes:

- Removed rods from the UMD check.
- Removed raise dead scrolls from the UMD check.
- Removed the notice when an innate ability is used successfully.

Version 1.4 Changes:

- Removed the notice when an innate ability is used unsuccessfully.
- Removed protection from alignment scrolls from the UMD check. (Bug #495)

Version 1.7.2.1 changes:

- Clerics using spell scrolls must now have the appropriate domain to cast from scrolls that are domain restricted spells. i.e. a cleric using a barkskin scroll must have the plant domain or it is an automatic failure. This applies only to spellcraft checks.

Version 1.7.2.2 changes:

- Fixed an issue with muticlass chars to see if a scroll can be read from any magic using class.

Spells Granted by Deities

When casting divine spells on Avlis, you must have a valid Avlis deity in your deity field to cast spells above 3rd level.

Notes:

- Currently this is only implemented for clerics. It will be implemented soon for Blackguards, Druids, Paladins and Rangers.

Version 1.2 Changes:

- Spells cast from items do not need to make this check. - Deities with apostraphes in their name no longer cause problems.

Version 1.4 Changes:

- Divine casters unable to reach their diety can now cast spells up to level 3 instead of level 2.

Version 1.5 Changes:

- The deity check was broken due to a typo. This has been fixed.

Version 1.6 Changes/Bug Fixes:

- DMs can now mark a character as out of favor with his deity. An out of favor character cannot cast any spells - arcane or divine. - Fixed debugging output that was not using the DEBUG check.

Version 1.7.3.2 Changes/Bug Fixes:

- Epic spells are considered level 10 spells. Divine casters unable to reach their diety cannot cast epic spells

Andrinor's Trust

As of spellhooking 1.5, mages who do not have Andrinor's Trust can no longer cast spells above 7th level. This change was based on a player-intitiated move by the mage guilds to limit the power of extra-planar mages visiting Avlis. For more information on this, please refer to the following URLs:
IC: High Mage Council's Major Decision Concerning Arcane Magic
OOC: Limiting Non-Trust Mages' spells

Notes:

- This feature is implemented with DB entries. This means that having the Andinor's Trust item in your possession will not allow you to cast spells above 7th level. When this is first implemented, players will have to havce the correct value set by a DM. As the systems rolls out, certain players will be given the ability to grant the DB entry to other players.
- You may notice a discrepancy between the IC announcement and the implementation. Deal with it ICly.

Version 1.6 Changes/Bug Fixes:

- Bug #908: Shapechange is considered a level 0 spell instead of level 9 spell

Version 1.7.3.2 Changes/Bug Fixes:

- Epic spells are considered level 10 spells. Those that are not in the Trust cannot cast epic spells

Share Spell

NOTE: Share Spell is currently turned off as of 1.6.0.2.
Sorcerers and wizards can share spells with their familiars. Druids and Rangers can share spells with their animal companions. To do this, you must have your familiar or animal companion summoned and within five feet of you. Any buff spell you cast on yourself will affect your familiar as well.

Version 1.5 Changes:

- Spells such as [i]flame weapon[/i] should no longer affect familiars.

Version 1.6 Changes/Bug Fixes:

- Share spell now works for druid and ranger animal companions.

Changes to Bioware Spells

Changes to spells can now be found here: [1]. This list will be growing considerably over the next few weeks; however most spells that have been modified have only had visual effects removed.

Spell Systems Added or Fixed

Artificing
  • Artificing levels and xp listed in the emote menu crafting list.
  • Pale Master levels accounted for when artificing.
  • Scroll Scribing costing 25% less real xp and giving 20% more crafting xp.
Arcane Archer Imbue Arrow
  • Allow Arcane Archers (AAs) to imbue arrows with spells instead of just the default Fireball (more like PnP).
  • You can cast the spell on either a single arrow or a stack. If on a stack, 1 is removed and you get a single arrow with the onHit property of the spell at the caster level of the PC. In both cases, the arrow is automatically equipped.
  • Only works with arcane spells [not divine] and only those that make sense on an arrow. For example, no Magic Missile because the missile effects still come from the caster rather than the arrow and Meteor Swarm because it centers on the caster and not the arrow.
  • The duration is the number of Arcane Archer levels in rounds. That's stretching the PnP version a bit, which states that the arrow must be fired in the same round that the spell is cast. That's doable if you're quick, but this system went with rounds per level to give some time for planning. A level 10 AA would have a minute to fire their arrow with the spell active.

Version 1.7.3.5 Changes/Bug Fixes:

Spells Fixed and/or Hooked (37)

Version 1.7.3.6 Changes/Bug Fixes:

UMD Bug - A divine/rogue PC who tries to an arcane scroll that's not domain (cleric) should use UMD and not Spellcraft. As it was, if the Spellcraft skill was > the UMD skill it automatically did domain check & gave domain failure message. A cleric/rouge with Spellcraft > UMD should be able to use UMD on arcane, non-domain scrolls.

Version 1.8.0.0 Changes/Bug Fixes:
