I added a small feature to the NS Diary last night.

It will now tell you which Manuals and Tomes of Training you have used.

Credit to player Midnite for sending me the idea.

The following Barbarian feats have been changed and have been live for some time. Figured it was time to clue you guys in. Also, Pure Class Bonuses aren't live yet.

Reworked
Mighty Rage: Mighty Rage must now be activated in addition to regular Barbarian Rage. Mighty Rage provides the following bonuses while active.
+1 AB, +1 all Saves, +5 Bludgeon Damage, Hit Die + 1 Temp HP.

Tweaked
Terrifying Rage: Barbarians of level 30 or higher now debuff their enemies to the tune of 5% vulnerability to Slash/Pierce/Bludgeon damage to any enemies entering their aura.

Thundering Rage: DC raised to 26 and now the enchantment is provided to weapons wielded in the offhand as well. As well, enchantment now grants a bonus 1D4 Sonic damage to the weapons wielded at the beginning of the Rage. (Caveat, the bonus damage seems to dissapear prematurely before the rage ends. We're working on the issue.)

Nexus areas which are considered to be very close to relic cradles are now subject to our automatic 'Log in to Defend' penalty.

Guild Colour NPC's may now have separate colours for armour/robe, helms and cloaks.

Implemented diminishing returns on healing potions and scrolls.
They'll be 15% less effective per use down to a floor of 50%. Effect is cleared on resting.

This only affects PCs.

The 50% floor is a first draft, we'll see what the effect is and hopefully may lower it later.

Post by **Binkyuk** » Thu May 24, 2007 2:36 pm

Toned down diminishing returns on pots to 10% per chug - floor at 65%.

Healing change take 2.
Now pots have a cool-off period - you can drink one in that time but it'll be 30% less effective at 0 seconds, up to no penalty at 60+ seconds.

So that's 70% effective, 30% penalty.
