Concerning the ranger wisdom ac change, I just tested on an updated server and the offhand ac stacks with the wisdom in light armor ac. At level 40 I went from 111ac to 123 ac. My pure ranger was planned to hit 134 ac dual wielding, but with that change it will hit 148ac unbuffed in UR gear (geared, 50 dex 38 wis in UR leather). While lots of AC is nice, are you truly wanting dexers this high or is this a soon to be corrected/modified double stacking? Do a breakdown to show where you are geting these numbers, please. Funky

I've never seen the server crash whilst playing my character. Oh, gee, well I've you've never seen it I guess all our core dumps MUST be wrong. The crashes would be more likely to come at login, not while playing. And yes, they do happen. We already tried the workaround, unequipping on relog. Didn't stop the crashes. If they continue at the same raste and continue to show up as spellslot list overflows in the dump then we'll have to try something else. Othersie, you're stuck with a paltry 255. We do plan to put in a stipper somewhere to remove slots, though, to get people right at the limit. Oh, that should be 255 per class, by the way. If it's not, please let us know. I can't tell from your post if you've already logged in and had gear stripped. Funky

A small, but seemingly scary bug with the update .... It'd be scarier if it didn't happen. Funky

- Instead of getting both Str and Dex bonuses for every 5 legendary levels, Barbarians now only get strenth bonuses, unless they have the weapon finesse feat, in which case they get dexterity instead of strength. They used to get str, dex and con boosts during legendary levels. Do they still get con boosts or not? Cheers Boxey Abilities: -A character with barbarian as their control class and the Weapon Finesse feat gains +1 to dexterity and constitution every 5 legendary levels. If the character does not have Weapon Finesse they gain +1 to strength and constitution every 5 legendary levels.

-The Artist feat grants an effective +2 levels to bard and curse song, allow up to level 62 song effects. See the book in the Item Shop for details on the specific effects. Does Artist feat raise also levels for side effect of song (stone-like effect and SR drop) ? Yes, it does. As the book says, you need to hit 122/124 Perform as well for 61/62. Acaos

While lots of AC is nice, are you truly wanting dexers this high or is this a soon to be corrected/modified double stacking? Do a breakdown to show where you are getting these numbers, please. Funky Level 60 ac dependant on LSA-tumble and on everything continuing to stack theoretical level 60 base 10, armorskin 2, tumble 12, dodge20, deflection 16, armor 16, leather armor 2, natural 16, dex(50) 20, wis(38) 14, offhand (14x1.5, capped by level/3) 20 = 148 currently level 40 base 10, armorskin 2, tumble 4, dodge20, deflection 16, armor 13, hide armor 3, natural 15, dex(40) 15, wis(34) 12, offhand (13x1.5, capped by level/3) 13, = 123 I just ran tests, I do get the full 12 wis ac (but only with light armor but not with chain shirt) and the full 13 offhand wis ac (40/3 cap) if you can/want to check my character, login is Lythe Featherblade and character is Lythe Flurryblades

However, there was a second change: the Tumble AC cap which resulted in -4 AC. Again, this was expected and is not the place to debate the change, I only wish to point out that 2 changes were made, but only 1 identified by the updater. The tumble AC cap is actually a dynamic engine thing, rather than a change to your character. If we were to remove it, you'd suddenly get the Tumble AC back without any edits (and if you were to somehow temporarily lose your RDD AC, your Tumble AC would come back). Thanks, Acaos

Or do you have some other mechanism to cover that? Thanks, Acaos

build was meant to get full ac from ranger UR leather and offhand bonus going pure, as it's a tier 1 BAB class I figure to be similar to a tier2 build (monk, rogue) so it's not too bad, and unfortunately I ran out of feats to get it higher
20 base, 10 epic, 15 LL, 20 dex, 7 (feats) = 72 plus GMW etc, the -2 from dual wield gets covered by +2 from bane of enemies the build is currently posted under Unpolised Woodsman (ranger 60)
I don't have the BUR race to bump dex higher, and another UR race with more feats free wouldn't get epic dodge like stargazer

Monk gets 4 less AB but the same LBAB as a ranger FYI but even so the ab is better.

I can confirm that right now, the limit is 255 total, not 255 per class. I'll get this fixed in an update. Acaos glad to hear that, no need to reincarnate the stargazer into a fa combat cleric

If they log small, they login small. Funky I tried this with my bro's treant, and he was still able to use the heavy flail he was proficient with... Meaning he did not log small, but medium sized. Medium, because he could equip either shield or flail, not both.

Acaos Thanks allot, so glad to hear it Can confirm that of the 295 spell slots I have in my current gear, 50 are wizard slots and around 6 are Sorc slots from wraps robe (if that counts too). So once it's separated to 255 per class it should be fine unless I put tia rings on. (But I dont use them)
