-The duergar town of Fraaszummdin in the Underdark is now available. Known as Steederhome, this small settlement is renowned for its mastery of vermin and Underdark beasts of all sorts. While it is far from the influence of Undrek'Thoz, the duergar pay a yearly tribute to the drow, nevertheless
1. This town can be found 7 leagues north and 2 leagues east of Nanitaran, at the far northern edge of the Underdark below Thay. A traveler will know they are close when they enter a region of the Underdark known as 'The Wandering' which surrounds the town
2. It contains 7 new areas to explore including the strongholds of the town's leading clans and the Steederhome Tavern
3. The Wandering Upper Reaches -a section of The Wandering rumored to lead to the surface- and the Catacombs beneath the city -the magically protected resting place for the hallowed dead-, are available for exploration
4. A special questgiver here for mid-high level PCs will award a powerful and unique item whose creation is known only to the duergar
5. The Hall of the Gray Protector, a temple to Laduguer, is a new joinable faction here. Thanks go to Karilynn for creating the faction recruiter's conversation
-Healer's Kits are replacing bandages as the primary means of non-magical healing. Healer's kits are stackable, each use is guaranteed to provide healing, and they may even cure disease or remove poison. In addition to this; the prices of potions that cure wounds have been reduced, and the price most temple priests charge to remove disease or poison has been greatly reduced
-Characters may temporarily change their name if they are disguised or their appearance is otherwise changed, or permanently do so if they are relatively notorious. Review the Character Naming page of the Thay PW sourcebook for full details. Thanks go to Ninja_Monkey and Bela for extensively testing this system
-The cost of Thayan Tattoo Magic has been exponentially reduced. For example, the cost has dropped from 142,000 to 33,000 for someone with all 11 possible body parts tattooed to get them magically inscribed. In addition, the cost to erase tattoo spell bindings has dropped from 500 to 100 gold per tattoo
-The !walk command has been improved and may be used by anyone. Monks or Barbarians, in particular, may want to use it to slow their walking rate to match that of other PCs
-A voice command can now be used to try and verify the appearance of nearby non-hostile creatures. This was added by player request to help address the NWNEE graphics issue where a creature may not be rendered on a certain player's screen. To use this command, simply type or quickslot: !av
-Goblin, gnoll, and orc characters with a static creature appearance are able to change their size and portrait at body models. In addition, the Goblin and Gnoll subrace pages in the Thay PW sourcebook have been updated to include screenshots of the static appearances available to those races at character creation
-Characters who worship Flandal Steelskin, Laduguer, or Moradin receive a scaling XP and notoriety award when they place/update an enchantment worth more than 1000 gold on a weapon or armor. Furthermore, characters who worship Gond receive this award when placing a enchantment worth more than 1000 gold on any item
-Life for escaped slaves in Thay is a little easier. Now if they disguise or otherwise change their normal appearance, guards or legionnaires will not be hostile to them - which will allow them to safely traverse the more "civilized" regions of Thay
-8 new rats, bats, and stirges have been created and may actually prove to be a challenge during your adventurers in locations they frequent
-An additional 30+ Underdark-specific questions have been added for the Underdark research quest.
-Commoners in the Underdark will provide only Underdark-specific rumors to characters who convince them to provide some information
-Characters enslaved by a NPC in the Underdark will be sent to the Slave Trade Exchange in Jenn'Yxir, rather than the Slave Pens of Thay in Tyraturos. In addition, slave merchants throughout the world will only sell PC slaves from their respective regions (i.e. - you cannot buy a PC slave in the Underdark from a Thayan slave merchant, and vice versa)
-Various improvements to creature appearance verification have been made which should help with a NWN graphics glitch and reduce the number of NPCs who only appear as a floating name
-The following bugs have been fixed:
1. Lower level Nymph auras would not dominate affected PCs, so now these auras stun an affected PC for 1 round/level
2. A script stack overflow error when starting a conversation after using an Associate Control command will no longer occur
3. An issue with Red Wizard Apprentices rank number in a faction was resolved so they will be called to the Red Wizard trials once they meet all criteria
4. Players can again delete message board messages they have posted when logged in with any character of theirs
5. Assassination and Retrieval target NPCs will no longer go into stealth mode, which made them appear to "not spawn" in the area they should be located
6. Newly placed animated statues in a player owned building will properly activate when approached by someone without the building key
