Part 3 of the Patchification

It is still in the works but we are now ready to release parts of the Summer Patch.

Today’s Patch contains change 1, 3 and 19

More to come when we are ready to release them to the public!
Some nice, some required.

Patch 1 – Shop Mechanics

The Sleeper Island team have decided to take a closer look at the shop mechanics.
After talking things over, we’ve decided on the following ruling:

You can choose one of two options.
1. Purchase the item at 110% of market value straight away, by asking a Mod/DM to perform the transaction
2. Use the command to roll the dice and try to get a deal.

Failure to purchase the item due to insufficient funds or not committing to the deal by purposefully ignoring a higher price will result in a 24 hour purchase time-out for the player on that specific item, more penalties might apply.

Patch 3 – Ranger Companion Expansion

Based on a suggestion by one of our players, Sleeper Island has decided to expand the list of beasts that Rangers can choose from when picking an animal companion!

The new list of fuzzy friends includes: Almiraj, Baboon, Deer, Giant Fire Beetle, Hyena, Jackal, Giant Crab, Giant Rat, and Mastiff.

These are in addition to the current friends; Ape, Black Bear, Boar, Giant Badger, Giant Weasel, Mule, Panther, Wolf.

Patch 19 – Summoning rule change

We have debated the current summoning rules and we have settled on the following rule change to make 3 spells more feasible within the rules, Animate Objects, Big Insect and Bigby’s Hand.

  1. Spells with increased casting time have their minimum duration of summoning spells increased to 30 minutes if desired by the caster.
  2. Tiny and small objects are banned from being animated by the animate object spell.

The summoning rules document will be updated with the information, we have also created a table to list the spells that are effected by the summoning rules.
There can be spell that have been missed by the staff, they will be added once we become aware of them.

An example of Swarm token creatures can be found below:

Animated Object (Medium) {Swarm of 5}
Has 200 HP, susceptible to AoE multiplier damage, can’t split from swarm token
AC 13, no resistances
+5 to hit, 65 damage
Dispel magic dispels the swarm.
Breaking concentration removes the spell and the swarm
Duration 30 minutes
