Holy Receptacle (325) and Shrines
Author: GS4-ESTILD
Date: 11/13/2008 9:52:53 PM
Shrines will now provide a bonus or penalty for Clerics when they BLESS a gem to create a holy receptacle (325). Being in a shrine of the Cleric's deity will provide the greatest benefit. Being in a shrine of another deity who is aligned with the Cleric's deity will provide a smaller benefit. And being in a shrine of another deity who is opposed to the Cleric's deity will provide a penalty.
Magical Workshops will no longer provide a bonus to success.
Minor failure, as defined by the gem not exploding, will no longer prevent the gem from being sold to a gem shop.

Clothing Updates, Round Two
Author: GS4-LUSUS
Date: 11/5/2008 2:11:53 PM
In response to various feedback and re-thinking in the weeks since the new clothing upgrades were released, the following new changes have been made:
1. Four Winds teleport items will no longer be counted as functional items.
2. Items that hold 2 pounds or less and 2 items or less (such as most bodices, shirts, dresses, pants) will no longer be counted as functional items. This applies to items that are worn on the back, shoulders, legs, torso, around the neck, attached to a belt, or over the front. Merchants who offer lightening and deepening services may also now be able to offer to make item pockets smaller (within reason) so that they would fall under this new rule.
3. A new 'under-armor' slot has been created for a single non-functional item. An example of an item in this slot would be a gambeson.
4. The number of items that can be worn over the legs, over the arms or over the front has been increased to 2. This allows for up to one functional item and one fluff item or two fluff items in these positions.
5. A number of other minor bugs have also been resolved.
As with the previous round of updates, if you encounter an item that you believe should be 'fluff' but is showing up as functional, please place an ASSIST so that a GM may review your request.
