Custom Spells and Spell Modifications - Balanor - 08-31-2009
Custom Spells

Default NWN Spell modifications
Many default NWN Spells in Thay have been modified to try and promote game balance between the caster classes and the non-caster classes due to the uniqueness of the Thay PW setting. Therefore, when planning or playing a caster character such as a wizard or cleric, please note the following details in regard to spell modifications.

RE: Spell Modifications - Balanor - 01-23-2015
Updated here and in-game as of 1/23/15 -
Continual Light lasts for 24 hours to finally address/end a common exploit used with this spell.
Greater Magic Weapon, and Magic Vestment, both provide a +1 bonus every 4 caster levels.
In addition, elemental protection spells have been reverted back to default NWN implementation, with the exception that Endure Elements and Protection from Elements last 1 turn (minute) per level (rather than 24 hours) just as the other two elemental protection spells.
