After numerous attacks, the Neversummer City is brimming with defenders. Old, defenceless buildings are burning, and rumour has it that the temple has reopened its doors.
In other news, some of the Heroes of Neversummer seems to have popped down to the tavern for a drink.

Re: NS4 Change Log
Sit down for this 
New XP curve in, slightly tweaked from last published curve.
Massive CR adjustments. Most areas stick to a reasonable CR scheme - in general nothing has massively fluctuated, but note that dorfs can hit the broad side of a barn now, although they're a touch more fragile.
Powerlevelling will now work about a million times less well. Exact scheme not up for knowing, but you shouldn't be able to powerlevel your lowbies any more.
Edit: As people have now figured this out, some details so that its a level playing field: If you're too high of a caster, you get nothing. If you're closish, your buffs are cast at THEIR level. If you're really close, they're cast at your level.
Bigby 8 spell failure: 20/25/33/50% spell failure with no/SF/GSF/ESF evocation. Everything else about the spell as per before.
Also a bit of AO love: Wizards are now in AO! Dragons got tired of only getting the dumb casters
.
Edit: Note this means that only a few of the more esoteric combinations of cleric/domain will have issues finding a faction.
Note: This means that good aligned wizards now have... I wouldn't say home, more like place of residence?

More CR tweaks!
Raks now have a third spell. Drumroll:
They get tensers, lasts for 5 rounds, gives +5 AB // +1 attack per round.

Re: NS4 Change Log
Despite the best efforts of the horrible thing called "real life" we've managed to get some good stuff on the table.
Vine Mine: Guacamole
Edit to add: Also heal kits slightly nerfed. 1d3*(check) instead of 1d4*(check) - this is ~50 less healing per kit for builds that were doing 250+ a pop.
As per usual, all changes up for discussion, provided it is done civilly and with experience of the changes.

Vine Mine: Guacamole
Vine Mine: Hamper MovementAoE Invisibility buff, i.e. mass invisibility. Lasts 1 round / level, affects 1 target / 4 levels.
Vine Mine: EntangleAoE Slow (i.e. slow spell as cast by wizard, except affects 1 enemy / 4 caster levels in an area)
Entangle:AoE instant entangle effect lasting for 3 rounds, reflex to avoid being entangled. Affects one enemy per 4 caster levels.
All spells no SR.As per Vine Mine: Entangle, except lasting for 2 rounds, and a lower level spell => less DC.

Re: Watch this space: AO Jobs!
Talk to Surlya to get started.
Exterminator is available by default, Slavery becomes available at character level 3.
Enjoy!
PS: Yes, I know this is ~ 69 days short of when it should be released.

Re: NS4 Change Log
Minor downwards tweak to AO exterminator token - now caps at +3 - I'm unsure if this is the route to take, but it was much too strong.

Re: NS4 Change Log
Dropped about a quintillion bombs on RDD and delevelling.
By which I mean, RDD's can no longer delevel.
If they still can, somehow, tell me, and I'll try not to gouge my eyes out before fixing it.
Additionally, as promised:
Exterminator reward now scales at (level-5)/10.
e.g.
1-15; +1, 15-25; +2, 25-40; +3.
