The Dragon's Neck Dev Update


  • Bladesinger has been reworked!
    • More details on Elven Bladesinger Mentorship to be made available in the coming weeks.
    • See: Bladesinger Wiki Page
  • Race Updates:
    • Wild Elf Stats updated:
      • Standard elven racial bonus feats and proficiencies.
      • +2 Dexterity, -2 Charisma. Wild elves are hardier than other elves, favouring physical action and feats of athleticism, however their isolated nature and insular society make them less suited for social aptitude.
    • Wood Elf Stats updated:
      • Standard elven racial bonus feats and proficiencies.
      • +2 Wisdom, -2 Constitution. Wood elves are wiser than other elves due to their stronger affinity with nature, but tend to be of frail disposition as a result of their reliance on matters of the mind resolving most problems.
    • See: Revamped Race Wiki Page
  • Experience "Pool" Update and Changes to XP Distribution in Dungeons.
    • See: XP, RPXP, XP Pool Wiki Page
      • Note: Creature Experience has been removed in favor of Encounter Experience (except when Creatures are DM-Spawned). This is to ensure that experience is rewarded based on the obstacle being defeated, rather than individual elements of the obstacle.
  • Persistent Objects.
  • Magic Consumable Crafting
  • Commands:
    • !compstats - Review Companion/Associate (non-PC) stats.
    • !compjump - Jump Companions/Associates (non-PC) to owner's location.
  • Housing/Property Ownership Added
    • More information to come, however the system is complete (pending additional QOL updates), and we're looking forward to Players jumping in & utilizing the system. We'll build a Wiki Page for the system after some additional testing.
    • Property Ownership is a significant milestone for an adventurer, and our goal is to encourage a wide variety of uses for properties. (From Homes, to Places of Business, to Player Group/Guild/Faction HQ, and much more.) The system is open-ended enough to accomodate a variety of potential options.
  • Smite Evil Reworked.
    • Now applies buffs on Paladin's Weapon ( + CHA Modifier to AB vs Evil & + Half Paladin Level to Divine Damage vs Evil ) for 4 rounds.
  • All Classes are now implemented, working through debugging.
  • Now that all TDN Classes have been Announced and Designed, we're interested in your feedback! In the below link, we'd like your selection of your top three classes from the TDN Class List.

Class Status


Although we expect a few final class adjustments to take place between now and launch, we feel that we've arrived to a good spot in terms of design & feel of the various classes. We've made adjustments to each NWN Class, added a number of classes, removed some classes we felt were not aligned with our class design vision, and encourage everyone to take a look through the various Classes in order to familiarize yourself with what is available and changed about your favorite class.
