Spell changes

EFU has undergone massive changes to vanilla NWN spells. As well as global changes to spells, Specialist Wizards receive even further bonuses to their school of choice.

Please refer to the list below for the current changes.

Common Use Spells

These are changes related to some of the most commonly used spells within EFU.

Cantrips

``All Cantrips``` are limitless in use and should automatically refresh after each casting.

Electric Jolt and Acid Splash are now 1d4 + 1 damage, similar to Ray of Frost.

Cure Minor Wounds, when cast as a spell and not from an item, will only heal bleeding characters or damage undead.

Inflict Minor Wounds, when cast as a spell and not from an item, will only damage living creatures.

Flare now inflicts 1d3 damage.

Summon Monster

Summon Monster duration has been reduced to 4 rounds/level for vanilla casting, with the following bonuses for Spell Focus feats/specialisations:

• 5 rounds/level for SF: Conjuration
• 6 rounds/level for GSF: Conjuration
• Additional 2 rounds/level for Specialist Conjurers
• Pale Master levels considered when calculating duration

Default summons reflect a basic City based theme. A number of additional themes are available through reagents, items, and other means in game.

PCs can speak through their summons using the chat command "/v s <message>".

For additional information see Voice Commands.

Animate/Create Undead

Animate/Create Undead has been heavily customised in EFU and strength of summoned creatures, for both spells, is related to the type/quality of the in-game Corpse Item used as target when casting. Creatures summoned without a Corpse Item are much weaker than their corpse-summoned brethren (Wizard AB progression, lower AC, lower STR)

All corpses can be further experimented on, given weapons etc. to increase their power. For further details, please refer to necromancy.

Bull's Strength/Endurance/Eagle's Splendor/Fox's Cunning/Cat's Grace/Owl's Wisdom

Bull's Strength/Endurance/Eagle's Splendor/Fox's Cunning/Cat's Grace/Owl's Wisdom have received the following changes:

• A caster with SF: Transmutation casts the spell using the best roll of 2 (1+1d4) rolls for enhancement
• A caster with GSF: Transmutation casts the spell using the best roll of 3 (1+1d4) rolls for enhancement

• Dispels can now be resisted by Spell Resistance.
• SF: Abjuration increases their caster level limit by +2.

Hold Person/Animal/Monster

Summon Shadow

Summoned Shadow from Shadow Conjuration/Greater Shadow Conjuration/Shades has been changed to use custom shadow clone summons.

Using the Summon Shadow variant of each of the spells, and targeting the ground, the caster summons a Shadow Clone of the closest PC to the targeted area, or the likeness of the caster if no PC can be found (note: if used from an item, the Shadow Clone will take the likeness of the caster in all instances).

You may only have one Shadow Clone active at any one time, and cannot have any other summons active. The Shadow Clone has the following stats/abilities/durations:

• It is considered incorporeal (50% Concealment)
• Mental ability points (INT, WIS, CHA) are always capped to maximum of 3.
• Created from Shadow Conjuration: Copied physical ability points (STR, DEX, CON) are capped to a maximum of 7 points for non-caster targets and when used from items. This cap is increased to 11 points if the caster targets themselves. Duration is 5 rounds + 2 round per caster level.
• Created from Greater Shadow Conjuration: Copied physical ability points are capped to a maximum of 9 points for non-caster targets and when used from items. This cap is increased to 13 points if the caster target herself. Duration is 10 rounds + 2 round per caster level.
• Created from Shades: Copied physical ability points are capped to a maximum of 11 points for non-caster targets and when used from items. There is no cap for physical ability points if the caster targets herself. Duration is 15 rounds + 2 round per caster level.

In addition to the above, all summoned Shadow Clones get the following benefits depending on the caster’s Spell School (if the caster is a Wizard) or Greater Spell Focus feat (if the caster is a Sorcerer; note: multiple bonuses from GSF stack for Sorcerers):

• Abjuration: The shadow gains Spell Resistance 12, 14 and 16 respectively
• Conjuration: Duration is increased by 5 rounds.
• Evocation: The shadow gains 20%/30%/50% increased movement speed, respectively.
• Transmutation: The shadow gains +1 to STR, CON and DEX and increases the relevant caps by the same amount.
• Illusion: The caster becomes ethereal for 1 round after casting the spell on herself.
• Necromancy: The shadow gains 5/- resistance against divine and positive energies and +2 regeneration.

Arcane Spell Changes

Arcane spells are those cast by either a Bard, Sorcerer or Wizard.

Abjuration

Resistance

• A caster with SF: Abjuration grants the target 1/+1 DR, to an absorption limit of 10.

• A caster with GSF: Abjuration casts the spell with a +4 armor enhancement bonus (does not stack with mage armor or base AC from armor)

This is designed to counteract the weirdness of abjurers being worse at protecting themselves than mages of other schools (by missing out on the mage armor spell). This brings them up to a par again, with protection consistent with casting mage armor on oneself.
