(Spiritual Weapon was a broken spell because NPCs would attack it in melee combat. NPCs would do nothing but attack the Spiritual Weapon for several rounds. Thus you could use Spiritual Weapon to win any battle with melee NPCs.)
– Sleet Storm now does cold damage to those wearing metal armor. Sleet Storm also causes a reflex save. Failure causes you to slip on the ice. Spell graphics have been changed. (Sleet Storm was a broken spell. It would cause NPCs and PCs to get endless AoOs when a prone character would stand. Invisibility plus any AoO other than moving through a threatened space causes a huge bug. This spell was a disaster.)
– Mordenkainen’s Faithful Hound now has hit points (25 + 6 x spell caster level). When the hound is destroyed it will stop fighting. It is still immune to magic attacks. (Mordenkainen’s Faithful Hound was a broken spell because NPCs would attack it in melee combat. NPCs would do nothing but attack the hound for several rounds. Thus you could use it to win any battle with melee NPCs.)

– Adjusted hit dice size of some creatures that were simply too easy.
– Adjusted many skill check requirements.
– Female long hair (all colours, all races) no longer has that stupid bump at the back. If you don’t want it changed, delete folder ‘data/art/meshes/hair’ after install.
– Wizard hat is now black. If you don’t want it black, delete folder ‘data/art/meshes/helms’ after install.
– Ochre villager garb now features a black skirt.
– Fixed masterwork armor bonus being added to skill checks.
– Gnoll caravan attack map fix: a ‘travel agent’ has been added to take you off that map if you get stuck.

G. CO8 3.0.0 and revisions
—————————————————————————————————-
– duggelz’s level uncapper: PCs may now level up past 10th.
– Shin’s looting fix: NPCs will now only loot gems and jewelry, for the most part.
– NPCs now level up as if they were PCs.
– Halflings should now get the +4 hide modifier due to small size.
– Skill Focus (Perform), Skill Focus (Survival), Skill Focus (Tumble), and Skill Focus (Use Device) should work and give +3 modifiers to the appropriate skill.
– You should no longer be able to take Power Attack at creation if you have a strength of 12 (or any other strength dependent skill).
– You should no longer be able to take Quick Draw at creation if you do not have a BAB of +1.
– Greater Flurry (well, the improved version of Flurry of Blows at level 11) should now work.
– Ki Strike should now add the adamantium damage type at level 16.
– Open hand damage for large sized monks should be correctly calculated.
– Unarmed damage for non-monk enlarged medium sized creatures should now be 1d4. (May have been 1d3 before. Not sure.)
– Monk and barbarian Fast Movement bonuses split. Monk Fast Movement bonus is treated as an enhancement bonus (as per PHB 3.5), and thus does not stack with Haste or Expeditious Retreat. Barbarian Fast Movement is treated as an unnamed bonus, and thus stacks with Expeditious Retreat. Haste does not work correctly with it yet.
– Abundant Step feat name added. (Doesn’t do anything)
– Quivering Palm feat name added. (Doesn’t do anything)
– Empty Body feat name added. (Doesn’t do anything)
– Perfect Self feat name added. (Doesn’t do anything)
– Base intelligence now used for calculating skill points.
– Odd bug with regard to raising intelligence on level up – would occassionally not give you an extra skill point even if you should’ve gotten one, but required that you had previously selected another stat as your attribute to be raised, and then selected intelligence. Should be fixed.
– Half point skill ranks should now display correctly in the levelup dialog.
– Class skills of cleric domains are now properly treated as actual class skills when leveling up cleric.
– Class skills of cleric domains are now always correctly treated as class skills for the purposes of calculating the maximum rank possible, even when not leveling up cleric.
– Can now increase the rank of non-class skills of the class being leveled up to the maximum rank possible if the skill is a class skill of another of your classes.
– Barbarians now retain their +10 movement while wearing medium armor.
– Barbarians no longer maintain their +10 movement while heavily encumbered.
– Monk special abilities (Flurry of Blows, Monk AC bonuses, and Fast Movement) no longer apply while monks are medium or heavily encumbered.
– Monk/Barbarians (all two of them) will still get their +10 movement even while wearing armor. I think. I didn’t actually have a Monk/Barbarian to test this out with.
– Stunning Fist now has (monk_level) + (non_monk_levels / 4) charges per, well…rest period, probably. Used to be (level) number of charges.
– Selecting an attribute to improve during levelup will now clear your feat selection choices. This was done as the simplest way to avoid invalid feat selections. (i.e., raise your strength to 13, pick power attack, and then raise some other attribute.)
– You can no longer raise skills if you have negative skill points. (Okay, it didn’t happen that often, and it wouldn’t actually let you finish leveling up if you did have negative skill points, but it was still a bug.)
– Power Attack will only apply the attack penalties if you are wielding a non-light weapon, or your primary attack is unarmed. Theoretically, if monks are ever capable of doing unarmed strikes even while armed, Power Attack should more or less always be on, but they’re not, so it’s not. Now to fix damage.
– Power Attack should apply a x1 damage bonus to unarmed attacks and one-handed weapons when either an off-hand weapon is used or a shield is used. Light weapons get no damage bonus, and any other case gets a x2 damage bonus.
– Weapon Focus, Weapon Finesse, and other skills that rely upon a weapon proficiency will now recognize new weapon proficiencies you pick up when you multi-class into another class.
– Rapid Reload and any other feats (are there any?) that rely upon having a crossbow proficiency are now selectable when you multi-class into any other class than a druid. Druid/fighters rejoice!
– Haste now provides an enhancement bonus of min (30, target’s base speed) to movement. This means that it will not stack with Monk’s Fast Movement, but will stack with Barbarian’s Fast Movement. Furthermore, it will no longer cap movement at 2 x base speed. Note that it’s the barbarian’s base speed unmodified by Fast Movement that’s used. Hasted dwarven barbarians move at 50.
– You can now use a higher level spell slot to memorize a spell. Go 20+ magic missiles!
– The left side of the spell book should now go up to spell level nine. Not that there are any level nine spells for you to know. Heck, I don’t think there’s even a Chain Lightning scroll.
– Level 5 metamagic feats will no longer be added to the end of the list (down by level 9 spells).
– Deleteing meta-magiced spells should no longer be as screwy. (The old code only overwrote it with the last spell on the spellbook list – this should actually delete it.)
– Meta-magic effects can now raise a spell to level 9.
– Strength domain added to St. Cuthbert, as per manual.
– Resurrection xp penalties should now work up to level 20.
– Fixed Rik Linkin’s dialogue so that he doesn’t mention Filliken’s problem unless you ask him about the barn. If you haven’t heard about the barn yet, Rik won’t mention it either.

– Added OIF NO NPC PICKUP to Bracers +5 and misc wands.
– Restored original tutorial weapons and deleted Spugnoir’s extra feats.

– Corrected Produce Flame. It will now cap maximum bonus damage at +5.
– Shout damage corrected to 5d6.
– Corrected duration of Protection from Good/Evil/Law/Chaos spells.
– Corrected hyperlink for Cure Light Wounds, Mass. Also it is now correctly tagged as conjuration.
– Added Animal Growth and Rage as scribable spells. Dispel Water should also be scribable.
– Corrected Craft Rod showing up in radial menu as Forge Arms & Armor.
– Fixed enhancement bonus of Holy Longsword.
– Fixed misc. issues with item weight/price/magical flags. [9 items]
– Fixed issues with non-copyable spells [10 spells], unscribable scrolls [3 scrolls], scrolls with no spell prerequisites [1 scroll], and uncraftable wands [1 wand].
– Partial fix for Javelin of Lightning.
– Partial fix for Potions of Eagle’s Splendor and Heroism.
– Fixed problem where blue elven chain was not given as reward for Tillahi’s rescue.
– Corrected corrupted help.tab.
– Restored large wooden shields to proper equipment slot.
– Corrected short text error for Greater Magic Fang.
– Corrected the natural armor of ogres.
– Corrected many creature immunities, including elementals being vulnerable to sneak attack, skeletons and zombies having no immunity to Tasha’s HL, skeletons and elementals being affected by Cloudkill poison, Stinking Cloud, etc. The will o’ the wisps’ spell immunity has also been given a close approximation. Also various mind-affecting spells should now encounter proper immunity when cast on elementals/oozes/undead.
– Hefty changes in start_equipment.mes to better reflect PHB settings.
– Changed all javelins to one-handed wielding.
– Fixed Monks not being proficient in halfling sianghams.
– Enabled Scather, Fragarach and katanas to be used one-handed with proper proficiency (corrected weapon size).
– Amended damage for Scather and Fragarach.
– Corrected crossbow size for Wonnilon’s repeating crossbow and masterwork light crossbow.
– Masterwork guisarme corrected (was previously almost a masterwork battleaxe).
– Amulet of Natural Armor +3 is now craftable as per 3.5e rules.
– Changed all previously coded Monster Juggernaut to Monster Plant to restore sensitivity to elemental damage, added Monster Plant to skeleton gnolls for spell resistance purposes.
– Restored masterwork light crossbow and masterwork heavy crossbow as 2-handed weapons.
– Changed Scorpp’s stats to reflect 3.5e SRD better and to prevent parties hiring Scorpp from being overpowered.
– Changed Scorpp so he uses his club instead of his crossbow in combat.
– Made AI improvements.
– Pouch of bullets added to Brother Smyth’s and Otis’s store inventories.
– Black Jay’s items identified.
– Amended Protection from Law to item_creation.mes.
– Gloves of Giant Strength substituted with Belts of Giant Strength.

H. CO8 2.0.0
—————————————————————————————————-
– Toshi’s Katana Mod v1.0 – Summary of changes: damage adjusted to 1d10 /19-20×2; damage used is v3.5 standard as per the DMG; katana now uses Exotic Weapon Proficiency to mirror rules listed in 3.5 DMG; one handed or two-handed wielding style available; mod test up to 6th level – enchantment and customization of the katana with craft skills appears to remain unchanged and is working as intended. Katana rules description: the katana damage has been adjusted to the damage and critical range values listed in the 3.5 DMG. Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Bastard Sword is now required for the katana to be wielded normally. Bastard sword proficiency was used as it was the closest approximation to the katana sword in the available list of proficiencies.
– Mona’s Orb quest fixed.
– Brothel dialogue/Mona quest fixes: stops Mickey from running off, more points in Mona’s dialog to go into brothel, and no teleport after using services.
– Burning Hands is now an evocation spell (as opposed to transmutation previously).
– Item crafting: spells which require Fox’s Cunning now function as they should.
– The blacksmith now has a 75% chance of selling a full helm and a katana.
– Sorcerers now start with red clothes as opposed to green. There’s nowhere in the game where you can purchase it and it looks better than the other two. This will be changed when someone figures out how to implement it into the tailor’s store inventory.
– Items renamed: pirate hat is now called a biscorne; Asian hat is now called a coolie hat.
– Fogless towns: this modification makes it so that all the exterior and interior areas in the towns of Hommlet and Nulb are removed of the incredibly annoying ‘fog of war’ effect. You will notice an improvement in your framerate and performance in the aforementioned areas. Combat areas are still the same for a variety of reasons, a couple of them being to retain the elements of surprise and adventure. It’s just no fun knowing exactly where to expect combat situations.

I. CO8 1.0.0 and revisions
—————————————————————————————————-
– Fixed damage problems with Flame Strike (Now correctly does 1d6 x Spell Caster Level [1/2 Fire and 1/2 Divine Damage]).
– Chill touch no longer has unlimited number of uses.

– Improved chances of ‘permanency’ bug not occurring with touch based spells.
– Improved chances of ‘permanency’ bug not occurring with Silence, Web, Soften Earth & Stone and Spiked Growth spells.
– Cure/Inflict line of spells was incorrectly calculating values. Was adding the caster level to the die size (i.e. level 5 cleric uses 1d13). Now correctly rolls and adds caster level.
– All cleric domains but Air are fixed. (Air is bugged majorly.)
– All known (to us) scroll bugs have been addressed (bugs preventing scribing, scribing at the wrong level, or not doing what was advertised (Fox’s Cunning != aid :)). (Except Hold Portal. Don’t ask us about Hold Portal, ask Troika. We can’t fix it.)
– All Hold Portal scrolls magically transformed into Grease. All references to Hold Portal removed for clarity’s sake.
– Read Magic will identify potions and scrolls.
– Numerous problems resolved with wands (including the 10 lb. wand bug, can’t craft it, and wrong spell bugs).
– All magic items that were previously un-craftable should now be craftable. (Bands of Intelligence, etc.).
– Chainmail Boots and Gloves no longer are considered “medium” armor, and therefore will not slow you down while wearing them.
– Cloaks of Resistance +2 and +3 now correctly give +2 and +3 bonuses to saves.
– Masterwork armor/shields apply proper 3.5 skill check penalties.
– Pre-existing armor/shields apply proper 3.5 skill check penalties.

– Dust of Disappearance is now worth 3.5 DMG value rather then 0 Gold.

– New/modified items For “Craft Misc. Magic” (using standard 3.5 edition statistics): Bracers of Armor +1, +2, +4, Cloak of Arachnidia, Circlet of Blasting, Minor.

– Detailed feat hover descriptions have been added.
– In-game Help files updated to reflect fixing of cleric domains (except Air).
– NPC’s demand an equal share of gold and no more, despite what their dialogs will say. Furthermore, you can exchange equipment with them as well. They will not give up their money, though. The follower looting does not affect any followers already in the party.
– Re-enablement of the “brothel” map, NPCs, quests, and companions. (The brothel was removed in the late stages of game development.)
– New dialog choices have been added into Mona’s conversation tree.
