With the banishment of known necromancers/warlocks/war criminals/child molesters/bankers from the surface, the Cordor Guard wishes it known that looting their hastily-vacated homes before we get to them is forbidden.

I'm dead serious. My first and only reaction when I used the summon spell was "Whaaaaaaat?! Lets attack a settlement with 9 mummies! Lets do it!"This sounds like the start of a bad joke.

Re: Arelith Updates: What They *Really* Mean
- Gift of Hardiness no longer made redundant by a low-level Alchemist
- Pale Masters no longer have to hide a conjuration spellbook inside their copy of Covenant Monthly. (sarog sarog sarog)
- Animal Domain less viable a shortcut for cleric/wizard hierophant builds to avoid spell focuses. Someone played one, surely?
- Elemental Swarm now kind of actually ridiculous
- 15 years on from release, Burning Hands may actually be used once
- PMs actually get that thing they're good at back. Sorc/BGs collectively rejoice.
- Summoned Imps & Quasits no longer spend entire rounds just standing there spitting 5 fire damage at things, when they have ACTUAL HELLFIRE at their fingertips. Non-summoned Imps don't. C O N S P I R A C Y? S T A Y W O K E
- Smol elementals, wyrmlings, and tier 1 outsiders no longer better at eating damage than an animated suit of armour.
- Gravestone Elemental removed

Re: Arelith Updates: What They *Really* Mean
Kuma will have to do the real meaning of this, but here's my take.
Patch 19 Feb 17: If you're perchance an Imp Wild Mage...we want you to quit.

Imp Changes
- In a rare turn of events, the dev team have decided to join in with the Andunor anti-imp bounty, with a devastating secret weapon guaranteed to obliterate most of the flying rats
- Continuing the Burning Hands trend, the playerbase is reminded that the feat Planar Turning actually exists
- Spells that affect summoned creatures also affect player fiends, on an island with multiple literal gateways to Hell that they could just walk through
Wild Mages
- Chaos Control no longer limited to the Sonic Adventure franchise
- *Surge: Cast Again* nerfed in response to this video uploaded to PornHub.
- Wild Mages now have to beat DCs to replenish spells, adding yet another string of numbers to keep track of, officially making them the closest one can ever get to accurately roleplaying a Wizard

- Can no longer self-administer hot cocoa and therapy blankets
- Summoned Balors made harder to hit
- Hitting Summoned Balors still not something you want to do
- actually a super clever way of handling gradually strengthening dr, nice one pep

Re: Arelith Updates: What They *Really* Mean
Summon Changes
- You see those?
- Yeah those.
- All those nice things?
- All those cool summons?
- All that delicious sustain.
- Mmmm. Drink it in.
- Yeah even that water elemental.
- Drink it in.
- It's PEPSI CRYSTAL.
- Aww yeah. Welcome to 1992. You've got your Water Elemental in the back seat of your convertible, and you just cruised down a Miami highway. This is the life.
- Drink her in.
- Go on. Isn't she tasty? Mmmm.
- That's right.
- You know what your Water Elemental tastes like.
- PEPSI CRYSTAL.
- You remember, don't you? The summer of '92?
- Wait. Something isn't right.
- The car stalls. Your head jerks forward.
- Black.
- Is that your blood on the dashboard?
- The car's rolled over, and you've slammed into a palm tree.
- You turn around and nearly throw up, squinting through the red streaming past your eyes.
- Oh God, no, the PEPSI CRYSTAL ! ! !
- She's everywhere. She's fallen apart, Bruce.
- Oh shit. Oh Christ. No, not like this. Please!
- Talk to me, PEPSI CRYSTAL ! ! !
- But it's no use.
- She's not reforming.
- She's not regenerating.
- She's gone, Bruce.
- She's gone like 1992.
- I hope the nostalgia doesn't hurt too much, Bruce.
- You had a good run, with your refreshing PEPSI CRYSTAL.
- But now you have to move on, and accept your fate.
- No more.
Spell Changes
- Clarity nerfed.

Re: Arelith Updates: What They *Really* Mean
WTF
I don't know what this is anymore. A ballad to a water elemental? Maybe it's art. Whatever it is, I like it. Keep doing it.

Deities
- Vaprak added as a deity for ogres, taking their total vocabulary to double figures
- Asmodeus hides the kobold soul-curse a little better with a cardboard cutout with 'KURTULMAK' drawn on in red pen
- Caw.
- Andunor loses mercenaries, Xi'taath finally ascends to demigod of slaughter
- New rotating merchants continue to make alchemists redundant

Re: Arelith Updates: What They *Really* Mean
As you know, we devs of Arelith love to respond to influential characters and their efforts if they involve enough players, and have a substantial impact on the server - Greyhammer, Andunor's gate, archmage statues, deity additions and so on.
To that end, we'd like to announce the latest change to the server brought about by a character - congratulations to Roland Asen for this little update!
- Removed appraise farming
Loot & Price Update
- Added "Fence" as a new path to Rogues, only available during mid-epic skilldumps of otherwise non-rogue characters
- If you really look hard enough, you might be able to find something in that kobold's hidden pocket
Reward Rolls
- Treasury theft made ever more lucrative
PC Shops
- Added more vectors for merchant-bought temp essences, lenses, and healing kits. Wait, hang on
Lowerdark Update
- We're probably screwed
New Races
- Now you can satisfy your urge to play a bearded pygmy or an albino!
