Speak with Andrinor to get started.

Delevelling from reading a book will now deal with pure class bonuses.

Fixed the Deep Gnomes special ability: They get 50% concealment now at level 10.

Fixed a bug in the pure fighter's Warlord's Rumble where Epic Skill Focus: Discipline wasn't being applied to the DC or the target's save unless you also had Skill Focus: Discipline.

1. Added Detect Alignment abilty to Paladins and Blackguards. At a Paladin or Blackguard's 10th class level they each receive the ability to detect nearby creature's alignment. Class level, not character level, so for example a 3 Paladin/20 Fighter would not have the bonus, but a 11 Paladin/2 Rogue would.

Paladins detect evil, and Blackguards detect good. This is not considered a hostile action, and can even be used in Avendell. Useful against most creatures and PCs.

2. Resting now fixes the Bard Song bug where you can't sing until the server resets.

3. Subrace SR should no longer get dispelled from stealing relics from relic cradles or from creature dispelling abilities (e.g. demiliches). Also subrace SR should be reapplied when a character respawns or is revived via Resurrection or Raise Dead.

Please PM me any bugs you find...

A few more touch-ups:

1. Good-aligned Champions of Torm now receive Detect Evil too at 10 CoT levels. Detect Evil/Good now says whether or not evil or good was detected... useful in case you can't see your enemy... although it doesn't reveal their location.

2. Arcane Defense: Abjuration feat now gives a +2 DC vs. dispelling.

3. Immunity to fear blocks barbarian's terrifying rage. Does nothing vs. their pure barbarian bonus abilities however.

Some changes to the Relic System are now live...

The Relic Cradle of AO has been relocated to the Temple of the Ancients.

The Relic Cradle of MA has been relocated to the Gagaroth Temple.
(MA Death Angel now in Gagaroth Tower Lower, MA Diviner location now Gagaroth Tower Upper)

Epic defenders can no longer be exploited by repeadedly triggering spawns until a multitude are present. Although the chance of epic defender spawning remains the same they can now spawn in groups of 2-4.

Epic defenders are now also part of the Cradle fortification script.

Fixed Mass Haste stacking.

Fixed fear auras from being dispelled by Mordenkainen's Disjunction... this includes Barbarian's Terrifying Rage.

New subrace:

Lorekeeper Dwarf

Buried deep within their mountain fortresses, Lorekeeper Dwarves pursue a solemn life of ascetic monasticism. They value knowledge and awareness above all else, dedicating themselves to the creation, maintainance, and study of vast underground libraries. Many make pilgrimages to the surface world in search of new books and reports of wars and famines in distant lands.

Favored Class: Wizard
ECL: 1

Properties:
-2 Str
+2 Int
+2 Wis
-1 Fortitude Save
+4 Lore
+4 Spellcraft

Thanks Minielvis for bringing up the idea, and Zing for explaining things to me

Also:

1. Fixed Pure Fighter abilities so they no longer get dispelled.

2. Fixed NC Defender of the Pure job token so 20% speed increase no longer stacks on players with haste or 6+ monk levels.

3. Removed redundant additions of Skill Focus: Discipline and Epic Skill Focus: Discipline to Pure Fighter's Warlord's Rumble DC and save.
