The spell, Test of Faith works similar to Gaia's revenge but with more complexity.
Effectiveness of the spell is based largely on the align difference
between you and your target. Does not mean it won't work on same
alignment, but will improve significantly the wider the difference.
Primary stats are int and con, plus luck has a smaller affect on
the damage.
If you are good align, damage is random between light and holy and
the white moon being up will make the spell more powerful.
If you are evil align, damage is random between shadow and harm
and the black moon being up will make the spell more powerful.
If you are neutral, damage is random between light and shadow and
the grey moon in the sky will make the spell more powerful. Keep
in mind with neutral you can never get the full benefit of the
spell as align difference can never be more than 1000, but you DO
get the reduced benefit on a wider range of mobs.
Recovery time is also affected by int and con. At 600/600 the
spell can be up 100% of the time.
And in other minor fixes...
Rebuilding for tier 9s that have gone around and hit level 201 has
been fixed. When your stats are restored to what they were at the point
of retiering, so are your trained/practiced and gained values which are
used by rebuild. For people already redoing T9, please don't rebuild/
retier until I fix your stats. Will need to catch up with each of you
online.
New command 'recovery' shows only recovery affects on your character.
The command 'recovieres' also works.
Burnt Marbu wasn't improving. Now fixed.
Vengeance now does light damage. Neural overload now does mental
damage.
Lag on refresh and rejuvenate have been lowered a little, now the
same as 'heal'.
Made assassinate easier to land on mobs around your own gq/quest and
campaign levels. Once you get above 10 levels difference it gets
harder, but still easier then before this reboot. You will also have
a much higher chance of landing if the target can't see you.
Fixed some color bleeds in damage output on some of the lower level
damage verbs.
Higher Dex and Luck will now reduce the recovery time on assassinate.
The 'bonus rebuild' code that was added a couple of reboots ago was
not fully working, so it has been reset - everyone now has another
rebuild and you will see this when doing a 'rebuild check'. Remember
that is is removed when you tier/remort.
There is a new help function. Typing 'help search ' will display
any helpfiles containing . Thank Xantcha for coding this one.
Fixed a color bleed bug in descriptions when someone had a color code
on a description line.
Dodge is now level 1 for all classes.
Counter strike is now based on a successful dodge, not a successful
parry. Primary class warrior has parry checked before dodge making
dodge the second dodge checked for all classes.
The variable %N can now be used in prompt as percentage of moves
remaining.
When you type 'rebuild check', if you have tier hp/mana/moves saved,
or are a t9 redoing the tier, a new section will show you saved stats
