Trying out Target with 18 mana cost at third level... With 16 there's not much of a difference. I could use it all the time.

Ok... I'd rather leave it for now in my version... but thx for testing.

Grrr, the church crashes again, tried 5 times with no problems, nothing looks wrong in editor. I remember 2 players mentioned before, and we thought it was how creatures were randomized, but it must be something else. It doesnt make sense in the editor... strange... must be some new sick KB spell 1C has casted on my, MYYYYYYY TRENT... hehe.

I try something else today.... So maybe I can fix.

. I found 3 scrolls of stone rain early . Overpowered early. They hit all enemy with 150-250 damage each.... I will change it...

I managed to fix the church crash bug in Jerneland: now (in next v1.43) the church works like a castle where you can store troops and sell spells. Well I tried 5-6 times with no problems.

There's only 1-2 sets left with more than 2 items in it! So it should be easier to find, although Trent is shorter than vanilla. For instance, the

Winter Set: Only Ice Scates + Warm Mittens; bonus +1 repulsion distance for 'Crushing Blow', +10% Damage on Lightning / IceSnake / Geyser spells. It was -1 Speed to enemy before.

Still cakewalk. Let's see with 20 mana cost...

But even with 20 it will be easy for u since it is only 1 or twice u use it in a fight. Perhaps if it only works on level 1-2, 1-3, 1-3 and not level 4s and cost 4-9-14 mana is better

Or level 1, 2, 3.

I'm trying with 40 mana cost (this spell ruins/makes irrelevant an entire party of enemies, whereas Sheep or the like, only crumbles one unit) If it still feels OP I'll do what you suggest.

This spell, Phantom and maybe one or two spells more are the most in need of some lua magic. Too bad Matt is not around.

I made Phantom a little more expensive too in Trent. Phantom: 20-25-30 Mana (was 15-20-25 vanilla and 16-22-28 in earlier Trents).

Target could be 5-15-30 Mana for up to level 4 enemies...?

Let me test it a little more.

Im playing v1.43 Paladin. It's actually quite funny with the new sets and in general that you only need 2 items for a set... haven't found a complete, just level 5, but it gives a kick, knowing there's actual a chance to complete it.

Let me know about target, uploading v1.43 in 1-2 days, but not before your target-test.

What skills do you focus on early as a paladin? And what later? Do you develop Resurrection? I'm kind of newbie in Paladin, most times I play Mage. Until now I develop Learning, Trophy, well I never developed Trophy other than level 1 in vanilla.

30 mana cost for Target seems ok. At least with my current mana supply which is 51-58 (depending of the items equipped) Now I really need to think twice before casting it.

Also have increased the initiative penalty of Stone Skin to -2, and boosted a little the defense bonuses of Magic Spring: 7, 12, 18. This way SS is not always the preferable choice and both MS and Battle Cry seem a bit more interesting.

I have developed exactly the same skills than you, hahhah xD Trophy is quite tempting due to its cheaper cost, and Learning is also appealing if you can combine it with an item like Hand of Necropolis (+10% extra experience gained in battle), which I found and bought.

Also developed Diplomacy and Adrenaline to their first level.

I don't know what to do next in the paladin skill tree; Resurrection would be an ideal, obvious choice with a creature like Griffin, but I haven't found many of them yet. On the other side, Voice of the Dragon would improve my Royal and ordinary snakes besides my dragons. Hmm.
