Negative Energy Burst seems to have taken a heavy hit in its strength damage/buff duration as it now only lasts 3 minutes for a pure caster. Whereas it used to be permanent.

3 Minutes equates to 30 rounds, was it 30 minutes before? That would be 30 turns. Not sure what it is supposed to be.

Meant to be permanent, or at least that's what it used to be.

Not a bug. The duration was shortened the same time we made the change to allow PCs to be Undead, dragon, etc.

This is so an Undead PC could not gain a permanent +7 STR from the spell. Rounds/level +7 STr is still very good when you consider Aura of Vitality is level 7 for a +4 to 3 stats - and a larger gain in one stat is more valuable.

I really don't want to annoy anyone with my constant reminders...

Could this please be updated to the "modified spells" to the left?

Jesus.. How many undead PCs are there to constitute this level of a change?

While I agree that changing it to avoid Undead PCs to have a permanent stat gain we could perhaps revisit the duration of the spell buff to bring it in line with Bull's Strength. Making it hour/level rather than rounds/level?

It would stack with bulls strength still.

Also regardless the changes should be listed here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=56068

Agree. I'd also request that these 'shadow' updates, for lack of a better term(I'm not under the impression these are being hidden or anything), stop being a thing- if they are a thing. I know of at least one other semi recent unlisted change concerning shifters, as one example. I assume there's more. If there's not, sorry!

edit: oops the other shifter change was posted, I'm high

Yes you're right, info added on the spells list now. Sorry about missing it.
