[h2]New Class: Bard - A performer whose music works magic—a wanderer, a taleteller, and a jack-of-all trades.[/h2]

A bard brings forth magic from his soul, not from a book. He can cast only a small number of spells, but he can do so without selecting or preparing them in advance. His magic emphasizes charms and illusions over the more dramatic evocation spells that wizards and sorcerers often use.

In addition to spells, a bard works magic with his music and poetry. He can encourage allies, hold his audiences rapt, and counter magical effects that rely on speech or sound.

Bards have some of the skills that rogues have, although bards they are not as focused on skill mastery as rogues are. A bard listens to stories as well as telling them, of course, so he has a vast knowl-edge of local events and noteworthy items.


[h3]Major Class Features:[/h3]

[h3]Bardic Music[/h3]
A bard can use his song or poetics to produce magical effects on those around him.


[h3]Inspire Courage[/h3]
A bard can use song or poetics to inspire courage in his allies, bolstering them against fear and improving their combat abilities.

An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. At 8th level, and every six bard levels thereafter, this bonus increases by 1.


[h3]Inspire Heroics[/h3]
A bard can use music or poetics to inspire tremendous heroism in his allies.

A creature so inspired gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws and a +4 dodge bonus to AC.


[h3]Inspire Greatness[/h3]
A bard can use music or poetics to inspire greatness in his allies, granting them extra fighting capabilities.

A creature inspired with greatness gains 2 bonus Hit Dice, the commensurate number of temporary hit points, a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves.


[h3]Inspire Competence[/h3]
A bard can use his music or poetics to help an ally succeed at a task.

The ally gets a +2 competence bonus on skill checks with a particular skill.


[h3]Countersong[/h3]
A bard can use his music or poetics to counter magical effects that depend on sound.

Any creature within 30 feet of the bard that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use the bard’s Perform check result in place of its saving throw.


[h3]Song of Freedom[/h3]
A bard can use music or poetics to create an effect. This effect frees victims from enchantments, transmutations, and curses.


[h3]Spells[/h3]
Bards cast limited arcane spells with Charisma and need not prepare in advance.

[h2]New Class: Druid - One who draws energy from the natural world to cast divine spells and gain strange magical powers.[/h2]

Druids cast divine spells much the same way clerics do, though most get their spells from the power of nature rather than from deities. Their spells are oriented toward nature and animals. In addition to spells, druids gain an increasing array of magical powers, including the ability to take the shapes of animals, as they advance in level.

[h3]
Major Class Features:[/h3]

[h3]Animal Companion[/h3]
At 1st level, a druid gains an animal companion selected from the following list: badger, camel, dire rat, dog, riding dog, horse (light or heavy), pony, snake (Small or Medium viper), or wolf.

This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the druid on her adventures as appropriate for its kind.

A druid’s animal companion is superior to a normal animal of its kind and has special powers.

A druid of sufficiently high level can select her animal companion from one of the following lists:

Level 4+: Ape, Black bear, Bison, Boar, Cheetah, Dire badger, Dire weasel, Leopard, Monitor lizard, Constrictor snake, Large viper snake, Wolverine.
Level 7+: Brown bear, Dire wolverine, Giant crocodile, Deinonychus, Dire ape, Dire boar, Dire wolf, Lion, Rhinoceros, Huge viper snake, Tiger.
Level 10+: Polar bear, Dire lion, Megaraptor, Giant constrictor snake.
Level 13+: Dire bear, Elephant.
Level 16+: Dire tiger, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus.


[h3]Wild Shape[/h3]
At 5th level, a druid gains the ability to turn herself into any Small or Medium animal and back again once per day. The new form can be any animal she is familiar with. But its Hit Dice can’t exceed her druid level. At 8th level, she gains the ability to take the shape of a Large animal, a Tiny animal at 11th level, and a Huge animal at 15th level.

She acquires the physical qualities of the new form while retaining her own mind. Physical qualities include natural size, movement speed, natural armor bonus, natural weapons, Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores, plus extraordinary special attacks. But at the same time, the new form will limit the ability to speak, cast spells and use manufactured weapons, etc.

[h3]
Wild Shape: Elemental[/h3]
At 16th level, a druid becomes able to use wild shape to change into a Small, Medium, or Large elemental (air, earth, fire, or water) once per day. At 20th level, she may use this wild shape ability to change into a Huge elemental.

These elemental forms are in addition to her normal wild shape usage. In addition to the normal effects of wild shape, the druid gains all the elemental’s extraordinary, supernatural, and spell-like abilities. She also gains the elemental’s feats for as long as she maintains the wild shape, but she retains her own creature type.


[h3]Spells[/h3]
Druids cast divine spells with Wisdom.
[h3]
Exclusive Spells:[/h3]
Summon Nature's Ally V - IX

[h3]Summon Nature's Ally List:[/h3]
Level-1: Dire rat, Monkey, Small Viper Snake, Wolf.
Level-2: Black Bear, Crocodile, Dire badger, Small Air Elemental, Small Earth Elemental, Small Fire Elemental, Small Water Elemental, Medium Viper Snake, Wolverine.
Level-3: Ape, Dire weasel, Dire wolf, Lion, Constrictor Snake, Large Viper Snake.

[h3]New Pre-builds:[/h3]
Druid - Earth Warden
(Old preset characters can be updated by clicking the Reset button)
(Adventurers with new builds in Adventure mode)

[h3]
New Optional House Rules:[/h3]
Vital Strike, Devastating Strike: no critical hits
Wild Shape: new shape's HD = druid level (unchecked: fixed)
(+2 modifications of House Rules for old saves)



[h2]Added 20 New Elemental Creatures:[/h2]

[h3]Air Elementals[/h3]
Air elementals speak Auran, though they rarely choose to do so.

Their rapid speed makes air elementals useful on vast battlefields or in extended aerial combat.


[h3]Earth Elementals[/h3]
When summoned to the Material Plane, an earth elemental consists of whatever types of dirt, stones, precious metals, and gems it was conjured from.

Earth elementals speak Terran but rarely choose to do so.

Though an earth elemental moves slowly, it is a relentless opponent. It can travel though solid ground or stone as easily as humans walk on the earth’s surface. It cannot swim, however, and must either walk around a body of water or go through the ground under it. An earth elemental can move along the bottom of a body of water but prefers not to.


[h3]Fire Elementals[/h3]
A fire elemental cannot enter water or any other nonflammable liquid. A body of water is an impassible barrier unless the fire elemental can step or jump over it.

Fire elementals speak Ignan, though they rarely choose to do so.

A fire elemental is a fierce opponent that attacks its enemies directly and savagely. It takes joy in burning the creatures and objects of the Material Plane to ashes.


[h3]Water Elementals[/h3]
A water elemental can’t venture more than 180 feet from the body of water from which it was conjured.

Water elementals speak Aquan but rarely choose to do so.

A water elemental prefers to fight in a large body of water where it can disappear beneath the waves and suddenly swell up behind its opponents.


Each of these four elements has six variants: Small, Medium, Large, Huge, Greater and Elder.


[h3]Related Abilities:[/h3]

[h3]Air Mastery[/h3]
Airborne creatures take a –1 penalty on attack and damage rolls against an air elemental.

[h3]Earth Mastery[/h3]
An earth elemental gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls if both it and its foe are touching the ground. If an opponent is airborne or waterborne, the elemental takes a –4 penalty on these rolls.

[h3]Water Mastery[/h3]
A water elemental gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls if both it and its opponent are touching water. If the opponent or the elemental is touching the ground, the elemental takes a –4 penalty on these rolls.

[h3]Push[/h3]
An earth elemental can start a bull rush maneuver without provoking an attack of opportunity. The combat modifiers given in Earth Mastery also apply to the elemental’s combat maneuver checks.

[h3]Earth Glide[/h3]
An earth elemental can glide through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish swims through water. Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other signs of its presence.

[h3]Burn[/h3]
A fire elemental’s slam attack deals bludgeoning damage plus fire damage from the elemental’s flaming body. Those hit by a fire elemental‘s slam attack also must succeed on a Reflex save (DC = 10 + the elemental’s HD/2 + Con modifier) or catch on fire. The flame burns for 1d4 rounds. A burning creature can take a move action to put out the flame.

Creatures hitting a fire elemental with natural weapons or unarmed attacks take fire damage as though hit by the elemental’s attack, and also catch on fire unless they succeed on a Reflex save.

[h3]Drench[/h3]
The elemental’s touch puts out torches, campfires, exposed lanterns, and other open flames of nonmagical origin if these are of Large size or smaller. The creature can dispel magical fire it touches as dispel magic (caster level equals elemental’s HD).

[h3]Skills[/h3]
A water elemental has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.

[h3]Damage Reduction[/h3]
A creature with this special quality ignores damage from weapons and natural attacks. Wounds heal immediately, or the weapon bounces off harmlessly (in either case, the opponent knows the attack was ineffective).

The amount of damage ignored equal to its level or Hit Dice. No weapon negates the damage reduction.

Hi Adventurers!

This month Steam will release a new policy of changing the developer custom discount cycle from 2 months to 1.5 months roughly. It will have some impact on our current update strategy, because we gain more new players in each round of discounts, and we want them to play the newest version.

So we decided to change the update frequency of the current dev stage from once a month to once every 1.5 months roughly to better fit the policy.

Although the frequency is lower, the quality will be higher and we will get more time for coding and testing, for example, there is a 95% chance that Druid will be released in the next update ;)

Of course, it will take time to see results and may need to be adjusted in future.

Thanks again for your long-standing support and company!

-- AM (Thomas)

[h2]New Player Races: Drow Noble - Exceptional drow born with special powers.[/h2]

About one out of every 20 drow is gifted with special powers from birth — the overwhelming majority of these exceptional drow are female, and as a result, drow society tends to be matriarchal in nature.

These special births are engineered and encouraged among the ruling caste, and are far more likely to occur when the mother is of noble heritage. Strangely, the status of the father seems not to increase or decrease the chances of a child being born a drow noble.

Common drow children born to nobles are usually put to death — sacrificed to one of the many demon gods to whom the drow offer worship.

It is rare for a drow noble to be born to common parents, but those who are usually murder their parents or family before they come of age in order to hide the truth of their base upbringing and to ease the processes of joining one of their society's noble houses.

Drow nobles are more powerful than the majority of their kin, and as such they quickly rise to power within their houses. Advancement through the hierarchy of a drow noble house is usually accomplished through a combination of assassination, seduction, and treachery, leading most drow in power to be overly paranoid.
