• Deathkiss now inflicts poison damage correctly.
• Fixed a library bug which meant that the 'poison aptitude' and 'poison expertise' HLAs were not working.

• Elemental Prince summoning no longer requires you to choose an (irrelevant) target for the spell.

• Sorcerers with the Efreeti bloodline can no longer learn Blood to Ice, Thunderstorm, or Aegis of Rime; they can select Elemental Immunity:Fire without taking Arcane Knowledge: Abjuration; their default colors are more appropriate.

• Fixed a compatibility issue with some mods that change the XP table, that caused first-level mages and bards to get far too many spells.
• Added a readme warning about manually editing the game after installing ToF.

Talents of Faerun version beta 13

• Balancing changes:

1. Draw upon Holy Might and Bolt of Glory have been added to the Good sphere (they're still in the Combat sphere).
2. The 'custom' version of ability score modifications grants slightly slower bonus-spell progression, and the baseline number of spells for wizards and bards has been adjusted down slightly.
3. Force mages get +40% resistance to magic damage (up from +10%).

• 'New races and subraces' should now display the correct modifiers on a character's saving throws.
• Duergar PCs now have race=dwarf rather than race=duergar, and deep gnome PCs now have race=gnome rather than race=svirfneblin - on balance the compatibility problems outweigh the advantages.

• Fixed cosmetic issue with Veil of Djalice.
• Skald song is now correctly adjusted at levels 1 and 5.
• Priests of Baervan Wildwanderer now get access to the earth sphere rather than the air sphere. This matches PnP material; it also gives Aerie access to Iron Skins, which partly makes up for her not having Stoneskin.
• Following a frank and constructive conversation with Lolth, demon queen of spiders, the requirement for certain clerics to be female (or to have certain alignments and/or races) is no longer described as a 'disadvantage'.
• Fixed an issue with elemental-spell-list generation that was causing compatibility issues with some spell-tweak mods.
• If the new sphere system is installed, Cleric/Rangers can now use spells from the same spheres as clerics, plus Animal and Plant, minus Good and Evil. (Previously they had the same picks as druids, or the same picks as clerics if 'Multiclassed Druids' was installed.

• Under-the-hood tweak - slight improvements to the system for assigning 3rd-party kits.
• Improved compatibility management between SCS and ToF versions of shapeshift.
• The auto-levelling system in 'NPC customization and management' now only affects NPCs, not the player (or other player-created characters).

• The proficiency system no longer breaks for unkitted sorcerers.
• Escaping out of the ranger Favored Enemy screen no longer breaks the UI (but please still don't do it; it shouldn't be possible at all but I can't immediately work out how to block it, so this is a temporary workaround.)

• Chanthalas Ulbright has loosened up a bit and is now willing to talk to people who aren't followers of Tymora.

• Various tweaks to improve compatibility with other UIs (mostly Lefreut's and Dragonspear UI++).

• Fixed a UI bug which sometimes caused the game to crash if you went from the wizard to priest spell screen when 8th or 9th level spells were selected.
• New component: revised shields.
• New component: revised weapon styles. (This and the last components are partly to address a bit of a mismatch in attack vs defense created by the new strength scores.)
• If you use the 3e-style ability scores, NPCs now have their Strength, Constitution and Dexterity ability scores adjusted to keep their modifiers approximately unchanged. In addition, various (mostly humanoid) monsters now have minimum strength and dexterity scores, determined by race. (This attempts to address the issue that ability scores are rather more important now than they were.)
• New component: revised paladins and blackguards. This is just for convenience: it combines the 'IWD-style paladins', 'revised Smite Evil', and 'extra uses of Lay on Hands and Smite Evil' components. (They are still available separately.)

• Fixed a broken projectile in the paladin Holy Aura HLA, and also made the visual feedback a bit less intrusive.
• Projectiles weren't being set correctly for many rogue HLAs: Set Exploding Trap, Set Acid Trap, Set Toxic Trap, Sound Burst, Mass Charm, Enthralling Melody, enhanced bard song, enhanced Jester song, enhanced Skald song. (This caused them not to work at all, to target the party or caster, or other weirdness.)

• Poison Aptitude and Poison Expertise should now work.
• Improved Defensive Stance can now be taken the correct number of times.
• Kensai can no longer take the Deadly Aim feat.

• We now adjust Str, Con and Dex scores for all creatures to values as close as possible in effect to their old values.
• The documentation for Thralls of Orcus listed their required alignment as Lawful Evil, not Chaotic Evil. (If Orcus is reading: this was Asmodeus's doing, not mine. Please don't kill me.)

• Fixed a small bug in the militant wizard/bloodrager code that might have been messing with multiclass mages' item use.

• Removed an unintended poison effect from the hunting spider Avenger form.
• We no longer bother blocking quick item use when shapechanged, since you can do it from the inventory screen anyway.

• Dirty Fighting now correctly displays 'slowed'.
• Blackguards can now use Dirty Fighting.

• If you remove alignment restrictions, the select-favored-enemy screen no longer refers to rangers as 'protectors of good'.
• Svirfneblin should now get their magic resistance at higher levels.
• Noted that the subrace component is incompatible with starting a new game in Heart of Winter(!) and disabled that option if it is installed. (There is a possible, albeit awkward, workaround to this. I'm assuming few people use this option but if I'm wrong, let me know.)
• New component: rangers get revised favored-enemy categories, and can reselect their favored enemy every third level. (Yes, I should be fixing bugs before adding new components, but this one was a fairly straightforward spinoff from the new 'NPC customization and management.'
• Suppressed the (cosmetic, but annoying) display on levelling to 1st level that tells you you have 18 million trillion proficiencies.
