* Adjusted hit dice size of some creatures that were simply too easy
* Adjusted many skill check requirements

* Major adjustments to Guardian Balor
* Major adjustments to Guardian Vrock
* Major adjustments to Guardian Glabrezu
* Major adjustments to Guardian Hezrou
-- Do NOT take these creatures lightly!!! They are powerful demons!!

* Added more uses for Pick Lock, Disarm Trap, Survival
* Added many, many new uses for Intimidate, Sense Motive, Bluff, Diplomacy, and Gather Infomation
-- Please note that Feats that increase skills will be useful as some skills need to be very high!
-- The same can be said for spells that raise Charisma and Dexterity

* Major change to Spiritual Weapon
-- Spiritual Weapon was a broken spell because NPCs would attack it with melee
-- NPCs would do nothing but attack the Spiritual Weapon for several rounds
-- Thus you could use Spiritual Weapon to win any battle with melee NPCs
-- I could not fix this, believe me I tried very hard!
-- Spiritual Weapon now has hit points (25 + 10 x Spell Caster Level)
-- When weapon is destroyed it will vanish
-- Spiritual Weapon is still a good spell but not an instant game winner
-- Spiritual Weapon is still immune to magic attacks
-- If a better solution becomes available it can be switched back with 5 seconds of work

* Major change to Sleet Storm
-- Sleet Storm was a broken spell
-- It would cause NPCs and PCs to get endless AOO when a prone character would stand
-- Invisibility plus any AOO other than moving through a threatened space causes a huge bug
-- This spell was a disaster
-- It has been changed so that it now does cold damage to those wearing metal armor
-- It also causes a reflex save: failure causes you to slip on the ice
-- Unfortunantly I had to change the spell graphics
-- If we can ever fix the "AOO + Invisible bug" then this spell can be returned to normal

Why didn't they just make a whole new game ?

 

What about the damn fire bug? I can't finish the game until that is fixed.
