Shattered Kingdoms

My question is does this include anything that carries the (Charmed) flag like pets and such? If so that's gonna suck because it's not only wimping Sorcs but Necros as well since their undead are considered (Charmed). Not only that, this makes it so pretty much any character with flight or able to get flight can just fly up over a city and sit there to hide from a sorc.

Edit: after a quick test, luckily this doesn't affect mounts or undead it seems. Still though, now anyone will be able to hide / fly away quickly from a sorc. =/

THANK YOU!



I'd still love an auto, but this is a start.

I don't see where the problem lies. Sorcs in today's SK just recite petrification. The only difficulty lying with finding the target. With battle ending the moment it starts, a sorc shouldnt need a charm if the target is waiting patiently in one spot. Dispel magic would also screw the target.. so waiting above a city has severe drawbacks.

The definition of "charm" for these changes is the charm person spell and the domination spell. Anything that actually took lava damage or drowned before will be affected by the changes, but most don't.

I had originally planned to make the air changes PC only, but then I reconsidered. There's no IC logic for discrimination and I think it will be fine for sorcerers to have more trouble using air entrances.

Yes, intimidate too. Sanctuary and intimidate use the same code.

So was it supposed to remove the affect affect from the NPCs that I drowned and killed in lava earlier? It worked fine with the air entrance, but the NPC died of drowning in lake Everclear and burned on the volcano until I restored him.

Dulrik, do you plan to leave the charm code the way it is currently, regarding NPCs?

I'll get together with you later to do some tests and decide whether it is working correctly or not.

Unless I decide it is bugged (see above) or has overly hurt the playability of sorcerers, then yes. But you will have to convince me of that.

At first glance, causing NPCs to be dispelled over air rooms seems a bit harsh, and also dangerous for newbies. (Especially if the releasing causes the NPC to become aggro) I can see a new character easily being turned away because they flew over a city and their charmee killed them, causing them to fall to their death.

Not to mention there are a few PvE places that require flying over air entrances, and that would largely hurt the utility of sorcerors in such places.
