Creatures Modified

You see a rather unpleasant looking creature. It eyes you with a smirk and mutters, 'So, I may be a bit weaker, or I may be a bit stronger. Want to find out which?"



In an effort to bring all creature-cast spells in line with their player-cast counterparts, the base defensive values of certain creatures have been modified. The previous values were erroneous, while current values are what the design intent was originally meant to be. The affected creatures are those that cast Spirit Warding I (101), Spirit Warding II (107), Spell Shield (219), Resist Elements (602), Elemental Deflection (507), Benediction (307), Self Control (613) and/or Prismatic Guard (905). Some creatures have had an increase in DS; others have had a decrease.
