Bonds of Blood

Bonds of Blood is a Neverwinter Nights module that has taken 19 months and over 7500+ (creator) hours to create, before it was released on September 1, 2004. An additional 3000+ (team members) hours has been invested in testing, creating creatures, and creating items for this world.

Before entering this new world forget everything that you know about Neverwinter Nights. Neverwinter Nights was not designed for large persistent worlds. It was not designed for player versus player activity. And it is based on the D&D 3.0 ruleset, which has been dramatically improved in the D&D 3.5 ruleset, which this module is based upon. All spells, creatures, items, weapons, classes, new rules, Neverwinter features, etc. have been created/modified to D&D 3.5 specification. This ensures balance and offers an experience that is as close to D&D 3.5 as you will get in all of GameSpy.

It is important to note that this world uses many new technologies. To list a few there is a new AI system, a new spawn system, a new dynamic area population system, a new battle system, and a lot of anti-cheat systems. The AI system makes Bosses more life-like, they use better tactics in combat, and its more efficient than the old Neverwinter AI. This world also features a new spawn system, which is dramatically more efficient then the Neverwinter spawn system and superior to the current spawn systems designed by the Neverwinter community. Because this world is a persistent world a new dynamic area populations system has been added so that dungeons can be repopulated after it has been looted by a previous party. And finally, there is a new battle system that implements the Surprise round in D&D that was not offered in Neverwinter. This system makes skills like listen, hide, spot, and move silently more valuable, as they should be.

The story of this world can be found in game. It includes the story of the chapter 1 module called Narc's Tale of Seven Dragons, and how chapter 2, Narc's Bonds of Blood, came to be. This module also included many influences from Norse, Greek, Roman mythology, from other cultures, the Holy Bible, and other games. The Latin language is also used in this world to add an old age feel to the experience.

This module has been designed with the Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark expansion packs. The Hordes of the Underdark features are used in character level 20+ areas. The Shadows of Undrentide features are mixed into the low level areas. This module requires both expansion packs as of the 1.69 patch.

Do not ask the DM for hints, directions, character adjustments, alignment adjustments, or for items.

Alignment Rules
All players are expected to act appropriate to their alignment.

Alignment Adjustments
Alignments are not adjusted in this world due to some multi-class exploits, instead an experience penalty system is used.

Common Law
The common law is a general moral code that all good aligned players are obligated to.

Thou must be compassionate to the weak.

Thou shall not lie.

Thou shall not steal.

Thou shall not commit acts of lust.

Thou shall not hurt or murder the weak and the innocent.

You are not allowed to have a blank name, a name with swear words, or anything inappropriate in your name or character description.

If you find a bug, exploit, cheat, unbalance, or find that someone is cheating, take a screenshot and send your findings to narcissuslair@yahoo.com

At times you may question why a new or old feature works in a certain way. Or you may question why there are so many restrictions. Trust the creator on this. The creator has been building modules for a few years now and knows most of the exploits, cheats and bugs in Neverwinter.

These rules are in place to ensure fair play.This world is high magic, encourages roleplay, high action, puzzles, balance, and most importantly is fun.

PvP Eligibility
It is fine to kill another player when the target is eligible for PvP.

A player becomes eligible for PvP if a player activates the intimidate action, bluff action, counterspell, pickpocket, or scry device on another player target then the activator will become eligible for PvP by any level player.

If a player enters a faction’s headquarters (behind their gate), then the player will be eligible for PvP by any level player.

If a player kills any other player they will be eligible for PvP by any level player.

If a player declares war on any faction the player becomes eligible for PvP by any level player.

If a player is in a designated PvP zone for faction wars then they will be eligible for PvP by any level player.

If the victim of PvP is NO less then HALF the level of the killer then the target is eligible for PvP. For example, if the target is level 2 and the killer is level 4 PvP is fine. If the target is level 20 and the killer is level 40 then PvP is fine. If the target is level 1 and the killer is level 4 then the target is not available for PvP.

Once a player becomes eligible for PvP, they remain eligible for PvP until the server reboots.

Protection from PvP
If a player is killed and is not eligible for PvP then the killer will suffer a penalty equal to the death penalty. The victim will suffer no death penalty.

How to detect if the target is eligible for PvP

Use the PvP Device to detect if a player is eligible for PvP. If a flag is shown above the targets head then they are fair game.

How to make a hostile uneligible low level player eligible for PvP

Activate the PvP Device on the low level player while he is current attacking you and he will become eligible for PvP.

Druids and Shifters
Shape-shifting spell-abilities have been limited. Many of the spell-abilities in the different forms had infinite uses. They are now treated as if they were 9 spell levels with a finite amount of uses.

Shape-shifting forms have been adjusted to D&D 3.5 as best as possible. The player’s current armor and weapon stats may merge with the new form.

Wildshape - HD 4 forms

Greater Wildshape I - HD 6 forms

Greater Wildshape II - HD 8 forms

Greater Wildshape III - HD 10 forms

Humanoid Shape - HD 12 forms

Greater Wildshape IV - HD 15 forms

Undead Shape - HD 20 forms

Outsider Shape - HD 24 forms

Construct Shape - HD 28 forms

Dragon Shape - HD 32 forms

Druids, Rangers, and Shifters have a new feature called True Animal Domination.

his feature allows these classes to capture animals and use them at a later time. True Animal Domination is achieved by first dominating an animal with an Animal Empathy check, then redominating the animal a second time with a special True Domination item. If successful the animal will be placed in the dominators inventory and can be summoned at anytime.

True Domination can only be attempted on an animal once.

The dominator may summon 1 monster per wisdom modifier point (max 9) per day.

Animal Companions

Rangers and Druids can change their Animal Companions.

Every 2 ranger levels count as 1 druid level for Animal Companion formulas.

At level 1, if the Animal Companion’s master casts a buff/protection spell on himself and the familiar is very close to the master, then the familiar will also get the effects of the spell. Only buff/protection spells that can be used on other people can be shared with the familiar.

At druid level 3, the Animal Companions gets Evasion.

At druid level 6, the Animal Companion gets +4 to its will save.

At druid level 9, the Animal Companion gets an additional attack for free.

At druid level 15, the Animal Companion gets Improved Evasion.

At druid levels 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, and 39 the Animal Companion gets a few bonuses:

+2 HD, +2 AC, +1 strength, and +1 dexterity

Summon I-IX spells have been changed to Nature’s Ally I-IX. Refer to the Narcian Spells and Magical Arts book for more information.

Monks
Monks no longer get faster after level 9. Also the monk feat Empty Body now does a Sanctuary effect once per day (makes monks undetectable). The DC of the sanctuary effect is 10 + the monk’s level/2 + wisdom modifier. This effect lasts 1 round per 4 monk levels.

The 1 level monk AC bonus cheat can no longer be exploited. Players can only get 1 AC bonus per level of monk (assuming the player is a Cleric or Druid and has a wisdom bonus). The penalty can be seen on the player’s armor. Pure classes are not affected by this penalty.

Paladins
At level 1, a Paladin can detect if a creature is evil with an alignment detection item.

The 1 level paladin/blackguard Universal Save bonus cheat can no longer be exploited. Players can only get 1 Universal Save bonus per level of paladin and blackguard (assuming the player is Sorcerer or Bard and has a charisma bonus). The penalty can be seen on the player’s armor. Pure classes are not affected by this penalty.

Rogues
At level 8, Rogues get Improved Uncanny Dodge. This feat can be activated through an item that can be used only once per day. When Improved Uncanny Dodge is activated the activator becomes immune to Sneak Attacks for 3 + 1 round for every 3 levels in any of the above classes.

Rangers
At level 1, Rangers may use the tracking ability to track enemies within a natural terrain. This can be activated via the Ranger’s Tracking Device. For every 2 ranger levels the ranger can track 1 more creature to a maximum of 10. The tracking roll is [ranger’s level + his wisdom modifier + 1d20] versus the [target’s move silently rank + 1d20].

At level 9, Rangers get +4 to their reflex saves.

At level 13, Rangers get +5 to their hide skill.

At level 17, Rangers can use the Improved Stealth Mode item to emulate Hide In Plain Sight. The difference between the shadowdancer’s Hide In Plain Sight and the rangers Hide In Plain Sight, is that the ranger can only hide in natural terrains above ground. (See Shadowdancers for more details)

Rangers have a new feature called True Animal Domination (see Druids for more details).

Ranger Animal Companion have been adjusted (see Druids for more details).

Summon I-IV spells have been changed to Nature’s Ally I-IV. Refer to the Narcian Spells and Magical Arts book for more information.

Wizards and Sorcerers
Wizards and Sorcerers have a new Familiar System.

Familiars get approximately half the hitpoints of their master.

Familiars attack bonus is equal to the master’s base attack bonus + the familiars strength or dexterity modifier.

Familiars get the saves and skills of their master if the master’s saves and skills are higher.

Familiars get an extra 1 AC for every 2 of their master’s levels.

A Familiar’s minimum intelligence is set to 5 + 1 for every 2 of their master’s levels.

At level 1, all familiars get improved evasion.

At level 1, if the familiar’s master casts a buff/protection spell on himself and the familiar is very close to the master, then the familiar will also get the effects of the spell. Only buff/protection spells that can be used on other people can be shared with the familiar.

At level 11, all familiars get spell resistance equal to their master’s level + 5.

When a familiar dies its master should lose 200 exp per level per D&D. Instead the master will now be damaged (non-lethal) 1d2 damage per level.

Familiars must be fed food or healed with a spell to recover hitpoints.

Wizards and Sorcerers have a new Golem Crafting system.

In order to craft a golem the crafter must have a high enough caster level, high enough skills in spellcraft/craft weapon/craft armor, use a Golem Crafting Apparatus, find a book with a golem recipe, and have ingredients to craft the golem.

Golems can become lifetime companions and protectors because they can be summoned and unsummoned/stored by using any golem book. They are like familiars and can only be summoned once per day.

Prestige Classes
Prestige classes are capped at level 20. Though a player may have over 20 levels of prestige classes between 2 different prestige classes.

Arcane Archers
Arcane Archer class can only be taken up to 10 times per character. Also the Arcane Archer levels on any character may not exceed half the total levels of the character at any given time. This means in order to have 7 levels of Arcane Archer, the character must have at least 14 total levels (7 Arcane Archer, 7 something else).

Imbue Arrow does (Arcane Archer level x 2)d6 fire damage to all creatures within it’s radius.

Assassins
At level 5, Assassins get Improved Uncanny Dodge. This feat can be activated through an item that can be used only once per day. When Improved Uncanny Dodge is activated the activator becomes immune to Sneak Attacks for 3 + 1 round for every 3 levels in any of the above classes.

At level 8, Assassins can now use the Improved Stealth Mode item to emulate Hide In Plain Sight. (See Shadowdancers for more details)

Blackguard
At level 1, Blackguards can detect if a creature is good with an alignment detection item.

Fiendish Servant (Gained at level 5)

At level 1, a Blackguards’s fiendish servant gets improved evasion.

At level 1, a Blackguards’s fiendish servant shares buff/protection spells with his master. The servant must be close to the blackguard and the spells must be useable on others.

At level 1, a Blackguards’s fiendish servant gets the blackguard’s saves if it is higher then the servants.

The Blackguards’s fiendish servant gets bonuses based on the masters overall level. At level 1 the servant gets +2 HD, +1 AC, +1 strength, and at least 6 intelligence. At level 13 the servant gets +2 HD, +3 AC, +1 strength, and at least 7 intelligence. At level 16 the servant gets +2 HD, +5 AC, +1 strength, and at least 8 intelligence. At level 19 the servant gets +2 HD, +7 AC, +1 strength, and at least 9 intelligence. At 15 blackguard levels the servant gets +2 HD, +2 more AC, +1 strength, and at least +1 intelligence. At 20 blackguard levels the servant gets +2 HD, +2 more AC, +1 strength, and at least +1 intelligence.

At level 16 (Blood Bond), the Blackguards’s fiendish servant gets +2 on saves and +2 on attack rolls.

At level 19, the Blackguards’s fiendish servant gets spell resistance equal to its master’s level + 5.

Fiendish Servants are considered henchman so they have no duration of stay.

Champion of Torm
Divine Wrath now gives +2 Attack Bonus and Damage at level 5 and an extra +1 for every 5 levels.

Dwarven Defenders
At level 6, Dwarven Defenders get Improved Uncanny Dodge. This feat can be activated through an item that can be used only once per day. When Improved Uncanny Dodge is activated the activator becomes immune to Sneak Attacks for 3 + 1 round for every 3 levels in any of the above classes.

Harper Scouts
Harper Scouts can no longer create potions.

Pale Masters
Pale Masters are treated as partial undead creatures. Any spell that hurts undead may also hurt Pale Masters.

Undead Graft

The DC for all effects from the Undead Graft spell is 14 (fortitude save)

Undead Graft has a few new effects that are applied randomly:

One effect is 1d6 strength damage or

1d6 constitution damage or

Paralyzation for 1d6+2 rounds (elves are immune) or

1 negative level or

If Undead Graft is used on an undead creature with lower HD then the caster’s level, then it will be dominated for rounds/caster level.

Deathless Master Touch DC is 17 and it cannot be used on creatures larger then the Large size (Dragons, etc).

Summon Undead

Summons an HD 7 undead creature.

This summon also gets a +4 turn resistance bonus.

Summon Greater Undead

Summons an HD 15 undead creature.

This summon also gets a +4 turn resistance bonus.

Palemasters cannot have Red Dragon levels and vice versa.

Red Dragon Disciples
Red Dragons Disciples cannot have Palemaster levels and vice versa.

Shadowdancers
At level 5, Shadowdancers get Improved Uncanny Dodge. This feat can be activated through an item that can be used only once per day. When Improved Uncanny Dodge is activated the activator becomes immune to Sneak Attacks for 3 + 1 round for every 3 levels in any of the above classes.

Shadowdancers now use the Improved Stealth Mode item to emulate Hide In Plain Sight. Hide In Plain Sight works as long as the shadowdancer is within 10 feet of a shadow. A shadowdancers chance of hiding is highly dependent upon the environment. For example, night is an excellent time for hiding. Hiding during the day in broad daylight may not be as successful. This also assumes that the shadowdancer is able to hide and move (silently) better then the pursuer can spot and listen.

Shadowdancer Shadow Illusion

The Shadow now has a turn resistance bonus of +12.

The Shadow also gets +2 HD for every 3 levels.

The Shadow is now a henchman so it has no duration for stay.

Shadow Evade

Shadow Evade has been changed to Shadow Jump per D&D 3.5 rules.

Shadow Jump allows the Shadowdancer to jump between shadows. This is similar to Hide in Plain Sight except that it doesn’t require a hide or move silently check. It is undetectable by creatures. The only way this ability will fail is based on the availability of a shadow. Like HIPS, this spell is more successful at night then it would be in the daytime in areas above the ground.

Shadow Jump duration is 1 round per 2 levels starting at the 4th Shadowdancer level.

Disabled Feats
All Devastating Critical feats, Improved Spell Resistance feats, Epic Damage Reduction 6/- and 9/-, Self Concealment 40+ feats, Improved Sneak Attack 6+ feat, Great Smiting 6+ feat have been removed due to some extreme values.

Expertise
Expertise mode has been modified for spell casters. Spell failure increases to 10% when expertise is activated, 20% when improved expertise is activated. This does not effect potion use or still spells.

Epic Spells
Epic spell feats have been removed as they are designed completely wrong. This allows mages to take other feats.

Knockdown
Sickles, flails, whips, and halberds give the knockdown (trip in D&D 3.5) feat for free if equipped.

Whirlwind
Whirlwind attack can only be used once every 2 rounds because it is directly linked to lag.

Skill Point Distribution
Skill checks are now made at every level-up to stop the skill point carry over exploit. The maximum base skills, minus items and feats, a player can have at any given level is 3 + class 1 levels (divide by 2 if cross-class skill) + class 2 levels (divide by 2 if cross-class skill) + class 3 levels (divide by 2 if cross-class skill) + the ability modifier for that skill. For example, a level 20 fighter can have 23 (not including strength modifier) discipline skill points because discipline is a class skill for fighters. Now if a level 20 fighter is trying to max his hide skills, the maximum he could have is 13 (not including his dexterity modifier) since the hide skill is a cross-class skill for a fighter (basically half of a class skill).

Stealth Skills
Classes who specialize in hiding will be glad to know that the new True Seeing SPELL can only see invisible creatures (not hidden creatures in stealth mode), see through darkness, and increases will saves. True Seeing as a NATURAL ability has been removed from the game because it is not implemented correctly in the NWN engine. This change makes hide in plain sight and stealth more valuable.

Tumble
The Tumble skill rank is now capped at 40. Also, Amulet AC (natural AC subtype) and Tumble AC (dodge AC subtype) have been combined into a single AC type therefore they are not allowed to stack. This has been done to keep the AB to AC ratio within range of each other. Also you should not get +1 AC per 5 tumble ranks per D&D 3.5. This was an incorrect implementation of Tumble by Bioware. The maximum combined Tumble AC and Amulet AC may not exceed the [player’s level/5 + 1] max +8. A script will automatically regulate this feature.

Acid Fog
Duration increased from ½ round/level to rounds/level and the creatures in the fog are slowed (no save and no SR).

Acid Splash
Now ranged touch attack.

Animate Dead
Duration is now turns/level and it can only be used at night. It also summons a new undead creature with 3 HD.

Aura of Fear
Now protects +2 from fear and heals 1 hp per ally.

Aura of Glory
Charisma bonus was +2 now its +4, saves against fear was +6 now +2, All allies are healed 1 hitpoint, and the casters used to get diseased 40% of the time, that has been removed.

Aura Versus Alignment (Greater Spell Immunity/Spell Mantle)
The caster gains protection to level 7 spells and lower if his shield is still intact. The shield can absorb spell levels equal to 7 + 1 per 4 levels.

Awaken (Animal Growth)
Now gives 1d6+2 strength, +4 constitution, +4 on all saves, and 10/+1 DR. This spell now lasts turns/level. Also Maximize and Empower are no longer valid.

Ball of Lightning
The total damage from all missiles have been combined into one damage amount in order to bypass electrical damage resistance. It also hits only 1 target and the spell resistance check now works properly.

Banishment
Fixed a bug that caused creatures killed by the spell to not execute their death scripts.

Barkskin
Target gets +2 natural AC and +1 AC per 3 levels above 3rd level to a maximum of +5. Duration was hours/level, now it is turns/level.

Bigby’s Clenched Fist (Polar Ray)
This spell does up to 25d6 cold damage to a single target.

Bigby’s Crushing Hand (Maw of Chaos)
Now slows the target for the duration of the spell and does 2d6+12 bludgeon damage (no save).

Bigby’s Forceful Hand (Acid Arrow Storm)
This spell does up to 15d6 acid damage to creatures within the main target’s radius.

Bigby’s Grasping Hand
Now slows a target (humanoid) for the duration of the spell and does 1d6+10 bludgeon damage (no save).

Bigby’s Interposing Hand
Used to lower one enemy’s AC by 10, now the enemy's attack bonus is lowered by 4.

Black Blade of Disaster
The blade does 2d12 damage and is considered a +5 weapon. The blade has the attack bonus of the caster + the caster’s modifier (int or cha). The blade’s base stats are equal to that of a 17 HD fighter. This spell no longer requires a concentration check. The duration is now 5 rounds + 1 round/level.

Black Staff (Greater Energy Buffer)
Resists 6d4 elemental damage up to a total of 20d10.

Blade Barrier
Max damage was set to 20d6 per rounds/level. This spell was probably the most overpowered spell I have ever seen in D&D and it didn’t follow the standard D&D spell formulas. Most persistent area of effect spells in D&D do about [(spell level/2)d6] damage per round. Since this spell is divine, it uses d8 for damage calculations, this spell now does 5d8 damage per round (because it has a save and SR). There was also a bug that only damaged the target 1d6 if it made a reflex save, it is now fixed.

Blade Thirst
Give a +1 enhancement to a slashing weapon per 4 caster levels max +3.

Bless Weapon
No longer adds 2d6 damage versus undead. Now it adds +1 enhancement damage versus evil and undead creatures. This also can be added to any range item (not ammo). An additional 1d6 damage vs undead is added to melee weapons. The duration is now turns/level.

Bombard
Added a knockdown if targets fail a save. Anyone within 2 meters of the caster is not harmed.

Bull Strength
Duration was hours/level, now it is turns/level

Call Lightning
Damage was (caster level)d6 now its 3d6 and 3d10 if raining/outdoor (Max 10 bolts).

Cats Grace
Duration was hours/level, now turns/level.

Charm (all)
Duration used to be 2 + level/2 rounds, now its rounds/level

Circle of Death
Was very inefficient, but has been improved. Max HD worth of creatures that can now die is capped at 20d4.

Clarity
This spell now provides +2 saves versus fear spells and +4 saves versus mind spells for turns/level.

Cloudkill
Duration was 1 round/2 levels, now rounds/level (no SR).

Combust
Bioware designed it to be potentially infinite causing a performance hit to the server. Now the combust visual lasts only 3 rounds max, but the damage continues.

Continual Flame
Adds light to an object until the caster rests.

Create Undead
Duration is now 1 turn/level and it can only be used at night. It also summons a new undead creature with 11 HD.

Create Greater Undead
Duration is now 1 turn/level and it can only be used at night. It also summons a new undead creature with 15 HD.

Creeping Doom
