Race Renames

Per-Race Diff

Acid Dragonborn

• New race, didn't exist in 1.5.13.

Drow (Moon Elves)

• Faltering Focus (assassins_focus) removed.
• Night Strike: bonus damage cut from +60% to +40%.
• Darkness: added (new active), then reworked from a self-centered AoE into a dodgeable hurled projectile, and moved into the tier-1 slot — shadow_dash removed to make room.
• Dark Vision and Shadow Affinity (+10% Shadow spell power) added to base kit.
• Tier 2: shadow_marked replaced by Drow Poison (melee Poison+Slowness proc, on a cooldown).

High Elves

• Featherfall removed entirely.
• Encumbered: fixed — removed a Feather Falling boots clause that zeroed the armor-weight penalty on all four slots, not just the boots.
• Tier 1: emergency_ward replaced by Healing Mist (active self+ally heal).
• Tier 2: spell_resistance (flat +20% magic resist attribute) replaced by Mana Shield (a toggle: 100 Shield Charge per hit for a 50% damage reduction, on a dedicated resource meter).

Wood Elves

• Natural Archer: +50% → +25% projectile damage.
• Light on Feet: -50% → -20% fall damage.
• Eagle Eyed removed, Fleet of Foot (+16% move speed) added in its place.
• Mask of the Wild and Forest Warden naming corrected — the display names had ended up on the wrong mechanics (fixed to match which power actually does what the name describes). natures_veil and forest_warden are the same files as before; only their names moved.

Mountain Dwarf

• Dwarven Resilience (-25% poison/magic damage) added to base kit.
• Dwarven Brew moved from base kit into tier 1, replacing brawlers_grip (removed).
• Unstoppable (tier 3): dropped its Poison/Nausea immunity (now redundant with the new base-kit Dwarven Resilience), gained +2 max health instead.

Duergar (Dark Dwarf)

• grave_anchor (knockback resist) and pillager_alliance (pillager truce) removed.
• Haunted (detection range + magic vulnerability) removed.
• Soul Chains removed.
• Tainted Constitution (potion_immunity) renamed Psionic Fortitude, merged with a new standalone magic-resist power (-35% incoming magic damage).
• Sunlight Sensitivity added (base kit) — real Duergar didn't have this represented at all in 1.5.13.
• Duergar Magic (self-invisibility) and Enlarge (temporary size increase + Strength I) both added — new actives.
• Dwarven Resilience (-25% poison/magic) added on top.

Hill Dwarf (Wild Dwarf)

• Wild Pact: companion cap 4 → 3.
• Weak Alone: penalty -25% → -15%.
• Keen Shot and Command Pack swapped between base kit and tier 1 (Keen Shot was base kit, is now tier 1; Command Pack was tier 1, is now base kit).
• Dwarven Toughness (+2 max health) and Dwarven Resilience (-25% poison/magic) both added to base kit — neither existed in 1.5.13.

Orc

• Shield Breaker: ranged/magic penalty -15% → -20%.
• Tier 1/2 swapped: Undying Rage was tier 1 and Rampage tier 2 in 1.5.13 — now reversed.
• Tier 3: savage_strength (+20% damage below 50% HP) replaced by Relentless Endurance (survive a killing blow at 1 HP, 20 min cooldown).

Goblin

• Carnivore and Kleptomania both removed.
• Tier 1: scurry replaced by Fury of the Small (+2 flat damage vs. players).

Nalfeshnee

• Demon Fire: was NeoOrigins-side gated (45s cooldown, spell's own cooldown disabled) → now the real Fire Breath spell's 12s cooldown is the sole gate.
• Fire Immunity (full fire/lava immunity only, nothing else) merged into a new single power, Demonic Resilience: full fire/lava immunity kept, full poison immunity added (didn't exist before), plus new 10% cold/lightning resistance and 20% magic resistance (also didn't exist in 1.5.13 in any form).
• Teleport (abyssal_shift, casts Prismatic Shift) added as a new base-kit active — didn't exist in 1.5.13.
• Lava Diver (lava_swimming): lost its lava-vision component, keeps no-drag and swim-speed.

Triton (Siren)

• Sirens Wail (an AoE charm command) replaced entirely by Control Air and Water (a real cast of Iron's Spellbooks' Airblast spell), which now lives in base kit.
• Guardian of the Depths (-50% cold damage) added as a new base-kit power — didn't exist in 1.5.13.
• Aquatic Grace: lost a survival-mechanic cold-resistance sub-effect (now redundant with Guardian of the Depths' real combat cold resistance).
• Tier list itself is unchanged (Ocean Eyes / Streamlined / Ocean's Grace, same as 1.5.13).

Arachnae

• Carnivore removed from base kit.
• Sunlight Sensitivity added to base kit — didn't exist in 1.5.13.
• Energy resource meter hidden from the powers list (still functions identically).
• Tier 1: night_vision renamed Dark Vision (display name only).
• Tier 2: poison_immunity removed, replaced by Chitin Plating (+2 armor, +1 armor toughness).
• Tier 3: Spider's Fang — duration cut from 3s to 2s, and a 6s cooldown between procs added (previously no internal cooldown at all).

Harpy

• Hollow Bones removed entirely (previously: fall damage immunity + 35% incoming damage penalty).
• Screech: gained a Slowness I proc (5-block radius) alongside its existing Sonic Boom cast.

Human

• No changes. Checked this session against the real D&D Human trait list and found it already matches closely — nothing altered.

Revenant

• Withered Form: was a hunger-gated 2x natural-regen multiplier (barely triggered in practice) → now an unconditional flat 1 HP every 3 seconds, regardless of hunger.
• Vengeful Glare added as a new base-kit active — didn't exist in 1.5.13.
• Grave Essence resource meter hidden from the powers list (still functions identically).
• Phylactery (tier 3) renamed Rejuvenation (display name only, mechanic unchanged).

Dhampir (Vampire)

• Trace of Undeath (-50% necrotic/blood-magic damage) added to base kit — didn't exist in 1.5.13.
• Blood Drinking renamed Vampiric Bite.
• Sanguine Strikes (tier 2): briefly renamed "Vampiric Bite" mid-session, then reverted back to its original name once Blood Drinking took that name instead. Net result: unchanged from 1.5.13.

Reborn (Plague Victim / The Withered)

• Eternal Suffering (tier 3): was a full heal to 20 HP with no drawback → now heals to only 6 HP and applies Weakness I for 20 seconds afterward.
• Everything else in the base kit and remaining tiers is unchanged from 1.5.13.

Pack-Wide Changes

• Every power literally named "Night Vision" or "Darkvision" — across Arachnae, Drow, and all 4 Dragonborn — unified to a single name, Dark Vision. (Powers that grant night vision under a different name, like Triton's Ocean Eyes, were left alone.)
• Hidden resource meters (Arachnae's Energy, Revenant's Grave Essence, High Elves' new Shield Charge) removed from the visible powers list while remaining fully functional.
