Also adds in a new class called the Spiritmancer:

The dead do not always rest easy, even free from fell influences.
Some linger, wishing to finish some unfinished business.
Others want to pass on a message to a loved one.
Some seek another chance for glory in battle or revenge against those who killed them.

Seems like a nice buff to necros. I don't like Ghost Touch though, seems weak.

Would be way cooler if Sageacrin's New Prodigies worked on 1.0.4, even more minions

[cttw]

Will surely try this. Any chance of looking into forgery casting priority?

[Hellcommander]

Could you please add in the ability to command your undead?

[Hellcommander]

Found an error when i was autoexploring.

[Hellcommander]

Can you please tweak aura mastery so that it can benefit from using a mastery point?
And found another error it involves stepping on a trap.

Would like to say, that the trap-thing applies to ALL traps, and even when sand falls on you in the Sandworm Lair.

[HousePet]

Will surely try this. Any chance of looking into forgery casting priority?

In what way?

[cttw]

It may be too much to ask, but a rule that says if your proposed shot will do 3x more damage on friendlies than on the enemy, try a different shot. Or maybe if it hits more than a certain number of friendlies. Or cast spells with only one talent point on them last.

It would also be awesome if you could prevent double applying of the 10 turn arcane damage spell whose name I can't for the life of me remember now.

[HousePet]

Should be able to tweak the compassion value, but I don't think I can change much of the AI easily.

[Hellcommander]

Would it be possible to grant the player the ability to give simple commands to their summons.

[HousePet]

Sure.

Getting them to listen might be a little harder...

[Hellcommander]

Maybe looking at the summoner's code might help, I heard they can command their summons. If you could grant the abiltiy to command them so many people would most likely be very grateful.

[jilladilla]

Maybe looking at the summoner's code might help, I heard they can command their summons. If you could grant the abiltiy to command them so many people would most likely be very grateful.

I believe summoners command their summons by taking direct control of them, much like an alchemist can take command of their golem.

[Hellcommander]

Guess it might me a little harder to implement then but it would a great addition and would help prevent some of the problems summons have (like making them target someone or stay put and protect you).
