  • Players can now double-click Magic and Material Spellbooks to equip them similar to existing handling for weapon/shields

Decorations

Tamed/Summoned Creatures

PvP Damage Caps

  • Melee Creatures are capped at inflicting at most 10 Damage Per Control Slot over a 3 second window to individual players in PvP (same handling as before)
  • Ranged and Spellcasting Creatures are now capped at inflicting at most 8 Damage Per Control Slot over a 3 second window to individual players in PvP

Ranged Creatures refer to any creatures that have a primary attack that occurs at range (such as Purgers, Swamp Slugs, etc)

Creatures that primarily use Melee Attacks but also have ranged abilities with cooldowns (such as most Dragons, Hornbeasts, Fiery Leapers, etc) are still considered Melee Creatures

Note: Ranged or Spellcasting creatures that have been electively set to engage at Melee range (via the Animal Lore window Abilities page) will still be treated as Ranged/Spellcasting creatures for PvP Damage caps (the creature will simply just try to close gaps to their target in between ranged attack/spellcast cooldowns)

Eldritch Breath Ability

  • The Eldritch Breath ability of Eldritch Drakes/Dragons will no longer ignore armor on targets

Poison

Poison Stacking
Every non-tamed/non-summoned creature can now have multiple Poison effects stacked on them, with the following rules:

  • Creatures will only ever have one Poison Type active on them at a time (i.e Lesser, Regular, Greater, Deadly, Lethal)
  • Each Player is allowed to apply poison onto an already poisoned creature so long as it is the same poison level
  • Each Player is also allowed to have one of their followers apply Poison onto an already poisoned creature so long as it is the same poison level
  • If a Player or Player Follower applies a higher level poison than what is currently on a creature, it will clear out the poison of all other players / followers currently stacked on it
  • Poisoned creatures will track individual Tick Count Remaining amounts for each player/creature that poisoned it (which starts at Tick 0 and ends at Tick 10)
  • A poisoned creature will use a single timer to resolve all Poison Ticks at the same time (i.e. every 5 seconds a Lethal Poisoned creature will resolve multiple creature/player poison ticks on it at once)
  • A creature will be considered Poisoned, and have a Green status health bar, so long as any creature/player has any Poison Ticks remaining on it
  • Any bonuses players/followers have towards increasing Poison Damage or boosting Poison Effects will only apply to their own individual Poison Ticks resolving (i.e. all players don’t get a bonus to Poison Damage on a creature due to a single player using Mind Rot or having Poison Mastery Chain Links / Aspect)

Creature Poison Single Click

  • Players can now see what Type of Poison they individually have on a creature as well as how many Poison Ticks they have remaining on the creature by single-clicking or doing All Names

  • If a creature is currently poisoned, but the player themselves doesn’t have any poison applied on the target, single-clicking the creature or doing All Names will simply display what type of Poison is currently active on it (i.e poison from other players/creatures)

  • Players can toggle whether to display single-click overhead Poison text for creatures by typing [SingleClickPoisonTicks or by navigating to Paperdoll -> Help -> Commands -> Mechanics -> SingleClickPoisonTicks

Creature Poison Overhead Messages
In order to reduce the amount of overhead text spam related to the new poison stacking mechanics, some changes have been made to overhead text messages derived from Poison for creatures

Applying Poison

  • When Poison is applied to a creature, it will only display the “Creature X is wracked in extreme pain”-type message overhead to the player who applied the Poison
  • Tamed / Summoned Creatures that become poisoned, however, will always still display these messages to their controller

Resolving Poison Ticks

  • The “Creature X is wracked in extreme pain”-type message that occurs when resolving Poison Ticks for creatures will now only display to players who have poison active on the creature
  • Tamed / Summoned Creatures that are poisoned, however, will always still display these messages to their controller

A player’s Tamed Wyvern has inflicted Lethal Poison on the target, but does not show any overhead (“creature looks ill”)-type Poison Text messages for Poison Ticks

Creature Poison Overriding

  • If another player or creature applies a Higher level of Poison than what is currently on the target, all other players who previously had a lower level Poison effect active on the creature will see a “*poison overriden*” message displayed above the creature for them (indicating their Poison on the creature has now been wiped out)

Creature Poison Tick Completion

  • When a player’s 10th (Final) Poison Tick resolves on a creature, they will see a “*poison complete” message displayed over the creature (indicating their poison effect has ended on the creature)
