New Random Dungeon System

• Added a new random dungeon system. New random dungeons are identified by the different, light orange font showing their levels on the overworld.
  
• These dungeons differ from old random dungeons as they are made of randomized, premade floors.
  
• Floors have floor missions that are required to progress in the dungeon. Some require you to defeat enemies on the floor, while others require more unique objectives.
  
• Currently there is one theme (Haunted Mansion) with 3 floors. More will be added over time.|
  
• Note: Old random dungeons will still spawn alongside new random dungeons. This may change at a later time, if/when the old random dungeon themes are accounted for.
  

• Added a new Kaelensia race, the Heron.
  

• Added a new Youkai with its own Ascension, Suzaku (courtesy of Slydria).
  

• Added 2 new Heron-specific traits.
  
• Magical Voice; Heron or Theno race. You are a natural born singer. It's in your blood - perhaps more literally than most would think. Reduces the stamina required to use Performance by 1 (min. 1 - no change for manual performances). Your beautiful songs will increase the LV and duration of Performance buff status effects by 5 each.
  

As you can see here, Thorn Scratch cannot be used for activating Needle, even if the effect deals Light damage. Tested this by mutating a Tome into a Dagger and attempting to go through the enemy several times, but it didn't count for Needle's secondary effect for some reason.

I also suspected this would be the same for Solar Spear as it has a similar interaction of "upon receiving Light damage or Fire damage", and voila, it does work as intended on this, so the problem's solely with Needle.





TL;DR

Needle's secondary effect doesn't account for 'any' Light damage source as expected, while Solar Lance does, which is odd.

Bears might from verglas behaves like pre nerf ring of thorns, shaitan, sharpen, other old math power boosters in regards to guns.  which normally wouldn't be an issue but due to being a flat 30 power...

it becomes this ptsd inducing wall of funny damage where each shot gets a nice dose of extra damage.

Ever since Spelledge staves became a thing, Reapers have had little to no use due to staves being a better alternative. Apertaurus, on the other hand, have been useless in general due to being limited to 6-star and below axes to act as casting tools (since many of the better axes are of higher rarity). I have a simple remedy to this:


* Add an additional 2 to the base of Reaper's Affinity

* Remove the base of Apertaurus' Affinity and double the scaling from SAN (either 2*[Scaled SAN/10] or [Scaled SAN/5])


This way, both Reapers and Apertaurus can use 10-star weapons at 50 Scaled Sanctity as casting tools (polearms for Reapers and axes for Apertaurus, obviously) to have a bit more variety and utility through their racial passives. And for everyone's sanity:

* Switch Dragon Remains to Macabre: Earth
* Switch Fireblood Remains to Macabre: Fire

The remains literally named after fire should be the one to allow the usage of Nerhaven spells, not the remains found from a skeletal T-Rex.

If a pvp fight ends while a player is stuck in the air from boxer's grand upper skill, their icon bugs out at the height they are in the fight.

steps to repeat:

1. be boxer with 8 sturm in a fight
2. grand upper enemy
3. die to burns/poison
4. watch as their icon is super displaced after fight

Guidelines for Lore Questions
1) You are limited to one question per topic. You may ask follow-up questions related to your initial question provided they are mainly 'yes' or 'no' questions.  For instances where you are clarifying lore details, or for minor questions, it is recommended to ask in the #lore-questions Discord channel instead of in this thread.
2) Questions should avoid being overly specific when the topic is unknowns. (IE: Was anyone on Sigrogana ever killed with a spoon? Has there ever been a scandal involving a noble family on Kysei?) For this reason, it's best to ask questions pertaining to subjects that already have some establishment in the lore.
3) Avoid asking questions on the basis that you are trying to invalidate someone's RP or otherwise harrass them, etc. If you have concerns that someone may not be RPing properly, or has an outlandish concept, please take them to a GM in private.
4) Refrain from asking questions that have always been answered. Use the forum search function, view the lore compendium, or the wiki pages for the specific races (both on wikia and this site's wiki) to double check.
5) If you notice any contradictions in answers, you are welcome to point them out. Note that established lore may be rewritten as time passes based on necessity or desire.

Expectation For Answers
Questions may be answered at any time, but the general expectation is that all questions will be answered during the first week of the following month. Answers will be added to the lore compendium, which will be updated after the topic is closed.

So you think you got what it takes to spit? You think you can throw down a few rhymes here and there and call yourself the king huh? Or do you just wanna get out there and show folks how we do things around the block? Well, let me tell you something son, the bars of the finest men and women around are forged in fire. That fire is what we in the business call battle rap. If you wanna test yourself then lucky for you RME records has a new up-and-coming star who's looking to polish his skills on anyone that's got the balls to take the challenge. My boy. My brother. My G.   Young DPS. Man's enough bars to make a whole damn fence around the kingdom and he's gonna show you all how it's done. Bard, lyricist, poet, don't care what you call yourself or what you think you are but if you think you even got the slightest bit of rhyme in your blood then I expect you to show up you understand? This ain't just a challenge, it's a declaration of war. Now which one of us's gonna be left standing?
