The Burning Eye

Replacement for rejuvenation, some typo corrections, some adjustments to charm and spellburst, and some fixes here.

== Charm ==
– Reduced charm success chances after first victim
– Skill in mass charm reduces the reduction in chance
– Mass charm now requires skill in Charm
– Failing Mass Charm no longer guarantees the victim will attack

== Rejuvenation ==
– Rejuvenation (cleric remort) is now an activation based affect that provides a per-pulse group heal.
– Mana cost per pulse is expressed in a percent of the hp healed.
– See HELP REJUV for more information.

== Misc ==
– Spells cast using spellburst now consume more mana, roughly 33%, than those cast without.
– Pants, Sleeves, Hood and Gloves of Arda are now clothing type items instead of armor
– Updated Marriage code to support unions between same-sex couples
– Corrected some typos in some helpfiles and areas that were pointed out
– Corrected some code that could cause crashes

A few alterations and additions:

– Fixed a buggy room in the sewers that would eat up large amounts of move due to an invalid sectortype
– You can now use %p in your prompt to display your Exploration Percentage
– You may no longer name a pet with your own name

– I implemented a system that allows us to switch between the current, ‘stock’ group xp calculation and a flat percentage penalty (ranging from 50% bonus to 100% penalty, settable on the fly)
– You can view the current status of the group xp modifier with the ‘settings’ command.
– When non-stock group penalties are in effect you will recieve heavily penalized XP if you are in a group led by a mob. (ie: grouped around your clan guard to avoid group range restrictions)
– We will be experimenting with the xp modifier settings for groups over the next while.

– Changed behavior of scribe & brew such that they now alter the name string of a completed potion or scroll to contain ‘potion’ or ‘scroll’ accordingly, rather than the original item name (currently ‘vial’ and ‘parchment’). Thanks to Elua for pointing this one out.

Quest Weapon Flagging! IMPORTANT!
When you purchase quest weapons now, you will be required to pick your flag (elemental, shocking, frost, acid) at the itme of purchase.
The QUEST BUY command has been extended for this to QUEST BUY
Buying non-weapon quest equipment remains the same as before.

– Autoassist loophole for double attacks should now be closed.
– Charmed mobs are now subject to the same restriction on summoning elementals as players are.
– Changed messages when charm is dispelled.
– The Minor Creation spell can now be used to create a bedroll – its not great but better than sleeping on the ground in the wilderness.
– We will now begin tracking whether or not you have visited a room. The % of the world you have visited will be displayed in your score.

== Misc ==
– Divinity duration has been decreased
– Fixed a bug with object resets in areas causing duplicate items to stack up in a room if they were loaded in more than one room
– Fixed a typo in Divinity’s activation message

== Rampage ==
– New version of Rampage for the Bashkars
– Now grants:
– a large HR/DR Bonus
– a STR bonus (to help counteract poison and plague effects)
– 2 bonus attacks vs the Bashkars victim per pulse
– 2 attacks vs anything attacking the Bashkar that is not the Bashkar’s target
– a decreased chance of the Bashkar’s attack being parried, blocked, evaded, dodged or sidestepped
– a chance to stun on all attacks by an enraged bashkar, chance starts at 4% and adjusts with rampage skill
– a stunning attack has a small chance of knocking the Bashkar’s opponent down
– a MASSIVE decrease in ability to cast spells and recite scrolls due to the Bashkar’s bloodlust
