new prestige classes, monsters, weapons, feats, skills and spells!Engage in a brand new single-player adventure. Dungeon Masters can create richer experiences with five new tilesets and over a dozen new creature models. What's Included in this Manual This manual describes enhancements to the rules and provides descriptions of the new features, including skills, feats, spells and weapons. Where necessary, please refer to the original Neverwinter NightsTM game manual. The Story So Far You have recently escaped from a long sojourn on the Plane of Shadow. [. . . ] Type of Feat: General Prerequisite: Epic Barbarian, Strength 25 Use: Automatic while in rage 40 NWN_pc_man_gb 11/7/03 10:37 AM Page 41 Undead Shape The character with this ability can transform into a selection of powerful undead creatures. Type of Feat: General Prerequisite: Epic Shifter Use: Selected. After choosing the ability, the character must select the type of undead to change into. SPELLS Magic is a powerful weapon and the discerning adventurer must make certain to take advantage of it while challenging the dangers of the Underdark. Several of the new spells can temporarily change the nature of an existing weapon or armour. Most of these spells (such as Magic Weapon) only work on non-magical weapons. Generally, if one of these spells is cast on an item that is already temporarily enchanted, the most recent spell will override the previous spell, even if it weakens the item. Hordes of the Underdark also supports the ability to cast spells on items. The new enchantment feats -- Brew Potion, Scribe Scroll and Craft Wand -- are activated when a caster casts a spell onto an empty potion bottle, blank scroll or bone wand, respectively. If the spell meets the requirements of these feats, that item is now enchanted. The innovative spellcaster will also note that casting particular spells on various items has additional effects. Casting Bless, for example, on crossbow bolts make them extremely lethal to Rakshasa. Light or Continual Light can be directly cast on an item, making a portable light source out of a weapon, helmet or armour. You may only cast spells on items that are in your inventory. Also, Charm Person and similar spells can now be cast on targets to influence any Persuasion or Appraisal checks made against them. Note: In Hardcore mode, the petrifaction effect is permanent (see Game Settings from the Options Menu). Below is a quick summary of the new spells, grouped by class and level. A note on area of effect spells: When playing with the game difficulty setting set to "Hardcore" or "Difficult, " most spells that have an area of effect (like Fireball) will hurt all creatures caught in the area of effect, including the caster's allies or even the caster himself. Creatures neutral to the character will never be affected by hostile spells. Bard 0-Level Flare: A burst of hot light is fired from the caster to one target, making it suffer a ­1 penalty to attack rolls. 41 NWN_pc_man_gb 11/7/03 10:38 AM Page 42 1st-Level Amplify: Decreases the DC of hearing sounds in the caster's area by 20. Balagarn's Iron Horn: The caster creates a deep, resonant vibration that shakes all creatures in the area of effect from their feet if they fail a Strength check (as if the caster had a Strength of 20). Every creature that falls will be knocked down for one round. Magic Weapon: Add a +1 enhancement bonus to one weapon. 2nd-Level Cloud of Bewilderment: Enemies in the area of effect are stunned and blinded for 1d6 rounds. 3rd-Level Greater Magic Weapon: One weapon gains a +1 enhancement bonus per 3 caster levels (maximum of +5). Keen Edge: The critical threat range of one weapon is extended.
