Lamannia Update 29 Release Notes
Here are the Release Notes for Update 29 on Lamannia, published on Thursday, November 19th. These notes will change over time.
Of Special Note:
Characters can now level up to 30! New feats are also available.
News and Notes:
Classes
Artificer Rune Arm DC's now include all sources of Evocation DC Boosts.
Enhancements
Arcane Archer's Elemental Arrows now properly reflect the damage type they deal, instead of all claiming to deal acid damage.
Epic Destinies
Shiradi Champion's Audience with the Queen has had some of its random effects' names changed so players can more easily tell them apart. The effects themselves remain unchanged.
New feats are available called Epic Destiny Feats when a character has reached level 29. The feats are available to a character who has achieved the maximum destiny experience in all three Epic Destinies in a sphere, and additional feats are available to characters who have achieved maximum destiny experience in all three destinies in two spheres.
Wind through the Trees - Primal: When enemies hit or miss you, they have a 5% chance to be knocked down with no save. This may only trigger once every 12 seconds.
Dire Charge - Martial: Charge forward at the targeted foe. That foe and all nearby foes are subject to +2[w] damage and have a chance to be stunned. Stun DC is (25 + highest ability modifier + total level + bonus to stun attacks).
Arcane Pulse - Arcane: A magical pulse of force reverberates through the target's body, dealing 3d6+6 force damage every 2 seconds for a duration of 16 seconds. This spell can stack on the target up to 5 times, increasing the damage with each stack.
Deific Warding - Divine: When you take damage, add one stack of Deific Warding (+1 Sacred Bonus to MRR). This effect can stack up to 30 times. One stack is removed every 3 seconds.
Dreamscape - Primal+Arcane: Activate to pop off to the land of dreams. You are invulnerable and invisible for five seconds, then return with a random 30-second buff. 1 minute cooldown. The available buffs are:
Damage: +30 Melee/Ranged power, +60 Universal Spell Power.
Defense: +15 AC/PRR/MRR
Skill: +6 to all skills
Damage Reduction: DR18/-
Energy Resistance: Gain Energy Resistance 15
Sprint: Gain Action Boost: Sprint (does not stack with the actual action boost)
Fortitude: +6 to Fortitude

Will: +6 to Will
Harbinger of Chaos - Primal+Martial: With weapon and unarmed attacks, deal 1d20 Bane damage against all targets and an additional 2d20 Chaos damage against Lawful targets. This scales with Melee or Ranged power depending on your weapons.
Fount of Life - Primal+Divine: +20 Healing Amp and Positive Spell Power
Embodiment of Order - Divine+Martial: With weapon and unarmed attacks, deal 10 Bane damage against all targets and an additional 20 Law damage against Chaotic targets. This scales with Melee or Ranged power depending on your weapons.
Spirit Blades - Divine+Arcane: Create a series of spectral blades which fly at a nearby opponent. Each of the five blades does 2d20 Piercing and 1d20 Force damage.
Arcane Warrior - Arcane+Martial: Your weapon and unarmed attacks grant you a stack of Arcane Warrior: Magical (+1 Universal Spell Power). Your offensive spells grant you a stack of Arcane Warrior: Physical (+1 Melee and Ranged Power). Each of these stacks to 20 times and each stack lasts for 6 seconds. You may gain a stack of each no more than once per second.
Epic Levels
Epic levels now grant +6 Universal Spell Power and a 1% Spell Point cost reduction.
The Epic level experience required to attain levels 21-30 has been adjusted to flatten the curve required to achieve level 30. To reach level 30, a character must earn 8.25 million experience. Each level now requires 825,000 experience.
NOTE: Existing characters will not lose experience nor levels. However, characters will need to reach the new level thresholds in order to level, similar to a process done when we raised the level cap from 18 to 20. The experience table is now:
Level 20: 0 Epic Destiny Experience
Level 21: 825,000 XP
Level 22: 1,650,000 XP
Level 23: 2,475,000 XP
Level 24: 3,300,000 XP
Level 25: 4,125,000 XP
Level 26: 4,950,000 XP
Level 27: 5,775,000 XP
Level 28: 6,600,000 XP
Level 29: 7,425,000 XP
Level 30: 8,250,000 XP
Feats
Improved Construct Essence is now available as a feat, and requires Construct Essence and 12 levels of Artificer. May be taken as an Artificer bonus feat. The feat improves your base Repair to 70% healing from Repair spells, but you are now vulnerable to rust attacks and take 70% damage from them. You are still considered your original race.
Construct Exemplar is a new feat that requires Improved Construct Essence, and may be taken starting at level 21. It grants the following:
You are now considered a Living Construct instead of your original race
100% base healing from Repair spells and 100% damage from Rust
Immunity to Sleep, Hold Person, Energy Drain, Nasueated, Exhausted, and Paralyzed effects except those which physically hold you in place
Immunity to ability score damage from natural poisons and natural diseases (but are vulnerable to those that specifically affect wood or metal)
+10 Racial bonus to saving throws against magical poisons, and do not fail saving throws against them on a roll of a natural 1 (this renders you immune to magical poisons with a DC of less than 11+your Fortitude save)
You may remain underwater indefinitely without the need to breathe.
When resting at a Rest Shrine, the health you regain is now based on your Repair skill instead of your Heal skill.
