DragonRealms Updates (2018)

Changes to the game during the 2018 calendar year.

January

• Soulstone updates.

February

• Warrior mage spell changes to:

• Anther's Call: The spell now gives -Evasion instead of immobilization, and is two slots instead of one.
• Ice Patch: Now Immobilizes, instead of stuns. Still knocks down.
• Sure Footing: Spell is now two slots, to better match similar abilities.
• Tremor: Players who kneel or sit are no longer immune to the effects. Single Target option is gone.

• Backstab ability overhaul.

• No longer requires a piercing weapon. On a miss, slicing weapons will replace the attack with SLICE, and blunt weapons will replace the attack with SWING. These are also the maneuvers it messages as.
• Can target all creatures, not just bipeds.
• Ability is renamed to BLINDSIDE, with corresponding BLINDSIDE verb. BACKSTAB remains a viable alias.
• The weight requirement (30 stone cap) still remains. There are still weapon-type requirements, but they should now include Light Blunts and Medium Blunts.
