Awesome, thanks!

This mod is awesome. All the new creatures and races work great, makes adventure mode alot more fun. Best moment so far was when I was playing as a wizard and got ambushed by 2 lesser wendigos. Managed to take down the first one pretty easily, but the second one knocked me down. Before I could even react he just started tearing me apart. I lost my left hand and left foot, so I was sure I was gonna die. I guess it was my lucky day because the lightning spell had just finished charging. I zapped him and put all my remaining force into one final stab at his brain. Went through like butter. Needless to say, I went home and retired my guy.

Also, +5 awesome points for making a website, looks real good !

May your wizard adventurer experience a peaceful retirement. Until, his inevitable transformation into a Lesser Wendigo.

I don't understand how any of the new classes work. Are the air magic spells weak or am I just using them wrong? I don't know what the Roar ability does either. Paladin none of my spells seem to be useable. I tried to heal but it won't let me select any targets. Same with mystify beast.

Also can someone explain to me how Shadows work? I have seen once where one of them cleared an entire room out by using embrace and it paralyzed us all, but I never saw it again and I don't get how it works. I've tried playing as one and the embrace ability doesn't do anything, just says "You embrace". I tried touching someone, but their armor always deflects it. So I took their armor off and tried, it just says it glances away. I also tried using wrestling and grabbing someone before using the embrace ability. Still doesnt seem to do anything.

Edit: And dark frenzy too. So far all I can get it to do is make people attack me.

The new classes are very alpha. 

Refit (mostly untested) powers and creatures from Meskion's magic mod and Genesis. I expected issues. I suspect wind may be underpowered. Roar looks to have fixable issues. Healing was missing something. (Even then it only acts as a healing booster and does not repair flesh.) Context is a factor. Mystify Beast for example, will only target animals and "reptiles". Dark Frenzy makes people go crazy, so that sounds to be working okay.

As far as how Shadows Embrace functions, your reports are fascinating. Shadows do not need to make direct physical contact to use the power. I'm unsure why NPC Shadows do it constantly and easily, while PC adventurers have trouble. It may need more attention to be adventure mode friendly. At first glance I don't see why that would be.

Just wondering if you plan on consolidating the adventurer reactions so there aren't as many redundant reactions/adventure specific tools.

I also noticed a few issues with the reactions in reaction_AUC.txt. I'm no reaction pro, so I could be totally wrong about these, but they popped out to me.

In the Fur tanning reaction, it calls for reaction class FUR_MAT for both the reagent and product, but from what I could tell the mod is using ZFUR_MAT as the actual fur reaction class. There also doesn't seem to be a way for adventurers to tan the other different skin types.

In the reactions to make thread, and metal bars, it has the PRODUCT_DIMENSIONS to 15000 and 150 respectively, but later reactions using those products only ask for 1 - 3, leaving the thread or bars preserved for more reactions. At least that's what I think is happening.

Wanderer and Wanderers Friend crafting shouldn't be redundant. However, Adventure Useful Crafting (AUC) may be filled with redundancy. I have not reviewed these in months.

As of now Z-reactions can only be performed in Fortress Mode. I was considering making them adventure friendly. Using Deon's wanderer, you should still be able to produce vanilla leather. And leather refits.

Is this in AUC or where is this? Some of these reactions were added before I knew much about them, so if the original mod contains mistakes, listing redundancies, or inconsistencies, they are likely still in there and need addressing.

[Rammok]

Okay. I confirmed there is a lot of weirdness in AUC. I'm going to fix it up. If anyone has any issues (or requests) related to adventure crafting let me know.

Update: I completely overhauled adventure crafting into a new system called: DAAC (Dark Ages Adventure Crafting). No more redundancy. Only two tools are required, which any adventurer can make.

R4_40_13 should be ready by [Sep-26-14] 1:30AM PT

So I'm playing to R2 version adventure mode. Vampires are super cool and all but so far I've only seen two master vampires out of the 10+ worlds I generated. The ones that had master vampires in them were older versions so I don't have them anymore. There are plenty of Vampire Lords and Ancient Vampires, but it seems like Master Vampires don't even exist anymore(?). Are master vampires supposed to be super rare? I've also checked legends to see if they even existed at some point in the history. Nuh uh. Not even once. Can I tweak the world gen parameters to increase the chance somehow? Thank you

I recommend Legends Viewer. I'll post a utility pack eventually.

What is happening is that there is a curse called the Master Vampire Curse. The only good way to find a Master Vampire is by looking at the most active gods, and finding out who they cursed to become one.

And, they are more rare than other vampires.

Having said that, I will give Master Vampires a boost so they are more common in the next version.

Damn it, never should have said anything. I guess there will be much more FUN to be had.

The latest update seems to have broke something. The .ZIP archive is corrupted, and recovery attempts only broke it in different ways. What files I managed to cover seemed to be mostly fragments of the vanilla files, with a few of the mod's. My downstream is stable, so information loss would have to originate from the file server.

Confirmed. I'm at a loss to explain it. It's not the zip, although I replaced both for good measure. It should clear up, but I mirrored to dropbox:

I'm sorry, but would it be somehow possible to add vision cones to enemies when sneaking? Any file i could edit or anything?
