Version v.0.1.0

• Initial Public Release

• This mod introduces the heroic class Death Knight and more than 30+ custom spells/passives from World of Warcraft into BG3.

• The Death Knight class incorporates a unique resource system known as the Rune System. Within the Rune System, there are two distinct yet interconnected resources: Runes (categorized into Blood , Frost , and Unholy runes) and RunicPower .

• At level 1, each death knight starts with with 1 rune for each of the sub-specializations ( Blood / Frost / Unholy ) and a maximum Runic Power of 100. This resource pool gradually increases as your death knight levels until reaching level 12, at which point the death knight possesses 6 runes of the subclass specialization, 2 runes of the other specializations, and a maximum Runic Power of 150.

• The Death Knight class has proficiency in heavy armor/martial weapons, but not shields. The class uses Charisma to cast spells.

• Thereare three available subclasses for the Death Knight class: Blood, Frost and Unholy . Please check the mod image for the level progression table.

• The Blood subclass is designed with a tanky build, offering self-healing, damage-absorbingbarriers, crowd control abilities, and a primary emphasis on inflicting AOE damage. As part of its unique mechanics, this class can accumulate stackable temporary shields known as Blood Shields through Death Strike/Death Pact heals, and it can retaliate against enemy assaults with a small AOE burst while the Blood Shield is active. This class can also gain various advantages when positioned within an area corrupted by Death and Decay.

• The Frost subclass offers a straightforward and easy-to-play experience as a melee damage class. This subclass relies heavily on landing critical attacks to activate various bonus effects tied to its abilities and resource management. The class also has a 15% independent critical hit chance against Chilled targets. For more information regarding the playstyle of a Frost Death Knight , please refer to the progression table above or the spell dictionary below.
• Conversely, the Unholy subclass provides a more intricate playstyle, although it wields considerable damage potential. This subclass has the ability to summon undead minions and afflict enemies with diseases. The core mechanic of the Unholy Death Knight involves applying " Festering Wounds " to enemies, achieved either through dealing necrotic damage or casting Festering Strikes. The festering wound is a disease that stacks up to 6 stacks. These stacks can be triggered to burst by specific Unholy Death Knight abilities, dealing necrotic damage per stack triggered. For additional details, please refer to the progression table above or the spell dictionary below.

Debuff and buff limits were originally a technical limitation in the earliest versions of World of Warcraft and was not a conscious design choice at that time. This aspect of the original release was maintained for the release of WoW Classic in 2019 for authenticity, but this has always been a contentious part of WoW and places significant constraints on build and class diversity. As a result, we will be removing this limitation in Hardcore realms and effectively uncapping buffs and debuffs.

Reviews for "Piff the magic dragon's most memorable moments on stage"

1. Karen - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the "Piff the magic dragon deal" show. The comedy was mediocre at best, and the tricks were nothing special. I expected to be amazed and entertained, but instead, I found myself bored and unimpressed. The whole show felt disjointed, and there were long periods of awkward silence. I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone looking for a great night out.

2. Michael - 1/5 - I had high hopes for the "Piff the magic dragon deal" show, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The jokes were stale and often fell flat, and the magic tricks were predictable and unimpressive. The whole show lacked energy and creativity, and it felt like the performers were just going through the motions. I left feeling let down and wishing I had spent my time and money on a different show.

3. Jessica - 3/5 - While I didn't hate the "Piff the magic dragon deal" show, I can't say that I enjoyed it either. The comedy seemed forced, and the magic tricks were underwhelming. There were a few moments that made me chuckle, but overall, the show lacked the wow factor I was expecting. I wouldn't actively discourage others from seeing it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it either. It was just a mediocre experience.
