Rust and I were messing around with AlterSpDmg ability (#165). It turns out this way, we think. You have your min/max damage with spells at a given level * 1 gives you the damage you can do, in normal dats. For every 10 units you have of ability 165, you gain a .1 bonus to this multiplier. So for 10, you can then do a damage Min *1.1 to Max * 1.1.



I.E. A level 4 Priest using Spiritual Hammer the legit damage range is 4 - 18. With a AlterSpDmg bonus of 10, he can do 4.4 to 19.8, and since spell damage rounds down, you get 4 - 19. Thats your new range.



I tested all this agains the Practice dummy for several values, 4 different values, and it worked perfectly (values 10,20,500,1000).



I am going to test it for healing and the SpLength one, but i would assume they work in the same fashion. I dont know if anyone else has posted this or even cares, but thats how it works. You can include that in Nightmare now syn ;)

What relevance does this have? Being able to wield an item that alters spell damage?

You could also add it in as a new quest, or a spell that increases your damage, etc. I just was letting everyone know what it did. And btw, it doesnt work for healing. Appears to work on offensive only.

it probably only works offensively because it only alters damage, hence the "Dmg" in "AlterSpDmg." i don't really know what you want me to do to include this as it's just an ability. i can add it to the description for the ability. good info tho.

Nod, thats what i was talking about. Just letting everyone know what it did :D

That's actually pretty useful to know.



Durin - Length, I'm guessing, would have to do with duration spells. Take a spell like RHEL (Rapid Healing) with a druid or ranger and test it out, see if it lasts longer.

Yea, im gonna try and do it. I just havent had a lot of time to try it just yet ;) Been working on the new quests and such ;)

New quests..in version K? They might not work..they have some sorta quest checker in.

in the text blocks?

I dunno..someone else would know more on this than me, I just recall someone saying something to the effect of there being something in the game that checks quests and whatnot..I'm not 100% sure.
