Sword Coast Stratagems: Version 35.21

• Fixed some issues with NPC auto-levelling that arose when games were saved and loaded.
• Fixed a (SFO1e) library bug that was interfering with the detection of shields and offhand weapons.
• Corrected several oBG2 installation issues that had crept in since 35.0 was released.
• Tanar'ri spies had inserted a bug that made all Baatezu Chaotic Evil. Fixing this hopefully ends the Great Baatezu Civil War.
• The cosmetic effects of the Balor vorpal sword now grant a saving throw (to match the saving throw SCS already gives against the main vorpal effect).
• The Gith captain (along with other high level paladins/blackguards) waits till he can see enemies before summoning an ally.
• Enemy mages have read the readme and no longer use Death Spell on creatures it doesn't affect.
• Carsa, while still traumatized by her ordeal with Kahrk, doesn't endlessly relive it in Gullykin by constantly respawning.
• Fixed some awkward interactions between shapeshift tokens and mods that alter the proficiency system.
• Fixed a library glitch that was causing compatibility issues between IWDification random items and SCS (it was replacing some shortbows with swords).
• 'Increased Spellhold cost' now updates journal entries.
• Nishruu have been slightly lowered in level so that Death Spell still affects them.
• The Ascension version of the innate Cure Light Wounds bhaalspawn ability is now affected by the Enhance Cure/Cause spell tweak.
• The Larloch's Minor Drain tweak no longer does an extra 4 hp of damage.
• Stonefist now grants the listed +2 bonus to AC.
• The IWD-style color spray component now installs properly.
• Slight tweak to the SFO library to handle possible (unconfirmed) compatibility errors on level-zero creatures.
• The IWD spells now overwrite previous versions of the spells installed by other mods (except Spell Revisions) - not doing so was leading to subsequent install failures when the other-mod version of an IWD spell was configured differently from our version.
• Removed some (harmless) WARNINGs if you install the IWD spells and the spell tweaks on oBG2.

Sword Coast Stratagems: Version 35.20

• Updated Chinese translation.
• Seven Eyes spell now works correctly.
• "NPC Customization and Management" was failing to fully remove dual class flags from dual-class characters, leading to awkward consequences if they multiclassed.
• Interjections in Watcher's Keep are no longer messed up by the 'go to Watcher's Keep early' component.
• 'Thieves gain skill points in multiples of 5' is no longer offered for install if you already have its functionality via Talents of Faerun.

Sword Coast Stratagems: Version 35.19

• Systematic rebuild of the help-group system in IWDEE, hopefully damping down some of the dogpiling in areas like Kresselack's Tomb.
• Armor spell is now correctly cast during prebuffing.
• Invisibility scrolls are now correctly used by stealthing mage/thieves.
• Removed redundant (and possibly compatibility-breaking) code to let priests summon elemental princes if ToF HLA system is installed.
• Fixed a bug in the compatibility code between Improved General AI and IWDification's item randomizer (plus SCS should fail a bit more gracefully if it can't identify a weapon).
• The 'dispel at level' version of the nerf-inquisitor-dispel component was erroneously installing as if it was 'dispel at 1.5x level'.
• The nerf-inquisitor-dispel component now matches the level cap (level 40) on the dispel that is used by the unnerfed version (previously, the 1.5xlevel version was capped at level 30 and the 1xlevel was capped at level 20, introducing an unintentionally strong nerf in the late game.)
• The Tale of Curran Strongheart now correctly blocks mummy fear.
• The 'use IWD Chromatic Orb' spell tweak no longer brings over Icewind Dale opposition schools (and so can now be scribed by conjurers).
• Fixed a couple of glitches with enemy druid shapeshifting.
• A handful of EE items no longer have doubled-up 'usable by' blocks.

Sword Coast Stratagems: Version 35.18

• Updated French translation.
• Updated Chinese translation.
• Updated German translation.
• The auto-levelling system in 'NPC customization and management' now only affects NPCs, not the player (or other player-created characters).
• The 'revised inn' component was broken by a previous update but should now work correctly.
• Fixed a vanilla bug that meant that on Enhanced Edition games, Thaxll'ssillyia was casting at the wrong level.
• Dragons on oBG2 were erroneously getting an additional attack per round (and have been for the whole lifetime of the mod! If you actually want to keep the +1 APR, or add it on EE, set dragons_get_plus_one_apr to 1 in the ini before installing.)
• The 'revised elementals', 'revised permanent death', and 'HLAs as innate' components were supposed to be marked as incompatible with Spell Revisions, but weren't being due to a typo.
• 'Slower reputation gain' was erroneously being marked as incompatible with ToF's 'revised kits and abilities'.
• Mummy Rot now displays an icon.
• Fixed a bug and some documentation errors in the 'reduce power of overpowered items' component.
• Tweaked the help scripts, mostly to (try to) fix issues with IWD creatures being too enthusiastic about joining fights.
• Fixed an issue with revised resurrection that was stopping imprisoned party members from rejoining.
• On Enhanced Edition games, we no longer overwrite the default AI for summoned creatures (by now it's not really necessary, and it's causing issues, e.g. breaking shamans' summoned spirits).
• Belatedly documented hotkey control of summoned creatures (now relevant only for oBG2).
• Fixed a typo in 'Better Calls for Help' that was causing help scripts occasionally to overwrite other scripts.
• The new Ulgoth's Beard textscreen now works properly on EET.
• Player-summoned planetars, though still committed to compassion and mercy, no longer heal enemies.
• NPC Customization and Management should correctly handle removing a dual class from an NPC.
• Bassilus wasn't being assigned to a difficulty control (he's now assigned to the general AI one).
• If you use NPC Customization and Management to change a ranger to a different class, their two pips in two-weapon fighting are correctly removed.
• NPC Customization and Management no longer removes all spells from Baeloth (who it's not supposed to edit).
• If you use NPC Customization and Management to change a core-game NPC's class or kit, they should no longer be barred from using items that are supposed to be only usable by them.
• At the start of Siege of Dragonspear, NPC Customization and Management no longer resets the hit points of NPCs who have previously been in the party.
• Improved compatibility management between SCS and ToF versions of shapeshift.

• Scrolls of Shocking Grasp no longer target the caster if you have installed the 'Use IWD Shocking Grasp' tweak.
• Scrolls of Turn Pebble to Boulder now work properly.
• The tweak to Protection from Normal Missiles should now work properly.
• The tweak to Mordenkainen's Sword THAC0 no longer fails if Spell-50 or similar is installed.
• Wands of Spell Striking now penetrate SI: Abjuration.
• For modders: included reasonably detailed SFO documentation in dw_talents/sfo/doc/index.html.
• Fixed a library bug with SFO patching of EFF files.
• SFO's 2DA and array functions now handle empty arrays more gracefully.
• Other misc SFO fixes and tweaks prior to documentation release.
• Readme history section now lists components in chronological order, not reverse chronological order.

Sword Coast Stratagems: Version 35.17

• Allied spellcasters no longer use Teleport Field.
• NPC Customization and Management correctly skips certain characters (notably Hexxat and Caelar) who shouldn't be set to level zero.
• Under-the-hood change: changed the function that handles area-effect spells bypassing Mirror Image (used on oBG2 installs) so it runs much faster (5 seconds rather than a couple of minutes).
• Fixed a rather subtle bug that was messing with creatures' ability to see when an enemy is unaffected by their spells. The bug probably also caused occasional oBG2 crashes.
• NPC Customization and Management correctly skips certain characters (notably Hexxat and Caelar) who shouldn't be set to level zero.
• NPC Customization and Management now correctly displays the extra thief skill points you get when advancing to first level.
• NPC Customization and Management now populates the spellbooks of generalist mages (including multi-classed and dual-classed mages) and wild mages.
• NPC Customization and Management no longer removes character-specific innates (e.g. Minsc's Berserk ability).
• Fixed some cosmetic issues in the descriptions of the new arcane spells.
• Fixed some cosmetic issues in the changes to spell descriptions in the spell tweaks components.
• New spell tweak: Otiluke's Freezing Sphere does half damage on a successful save.
• New spell tweak: Glyph of Warding does half damage on a successful save (BG/BG2 only; this is already true on IWD).

Sword Coast Stratagems: Version 35.16

• Fixed yet more cosmetic issues with Dragonspear UI++.
• 'Improved NPC Customization and Management' should cope better with characters imported from one game into another (e.g. in EET or Endless BG).
• The spell tweak that makes Truesight remove blindness no longer adds multiple 'this removes blindness' messages to Truesight's description.
• The gaze attack granted by the Shapechange spell's Basilisk ability is now correctly restored each round.

Fixed a side-effect of the odd-symbol removal that was blanking some lines on the Dragonspear UI++ menu and possibly on other UIs too.

Sword Coast Stratagems: Version 35.14

• Fixed a library bug that was messing up some non-English-language strings on non-EE installs.
• Provisions component now installs correctly on BGEE/SoD/EET.

Sword Coast Stratagems: Version 35.13

• Updated 'NPC Customization and Management' to the (hopefully!) more robust version in Talents of Faerun.

• Simulacra and projected images are now correctly blocked from using items if you have installed the appropriate tweak.
• Hopefully got rid of the last odd symbols displayed next to class names.
• Provisions now restock in a stronghold (except for mages) and after a sea voyage. (You can turn both these off by editing stratagems.ini before installing.)
• On BGT / TUTU installs, fixed a typo in the code that flags weapon enchantments and made it more sensitive to other mods.

• Fixed a critical incompatibility between the SCS version of 'Improved NPC Customization and Management' and SFO's library functions for editing the UI.
• Updated Italian translation.
• Fixed typo in IWD priests that was causing a couple of scripts not to install.
