Patch Notes:

From Edmaster:

Bug Fixes:
-Alertness constitution AC bug fixed!


From Flatted Fifth:

Bug Fixes:
-Practiced Invoker no longer will give more caster level than you have actual levels during spellcasting. Whether or not this fixes it giving you too many levels for prc qualification remains to be seen.

Evard’s Black Tentacles Changes
-Now gets the wis modifier to save dc when cast as cleric domain.
-Attack bonus of tentacles now = caster level + casting ability modifier + pure mage bonus
-Maximize Spell now also maximizes number of attacks per round in addition to damage -Empower spell now increases number of attacks in addition to damage

Other Changes
-Light and Darkness spells further streamlined for processing efficiency, should no longer cause dispel issues
-Reverted temporary substitute Alertness feat back to original
-Saving throws no longer made for common effects if you are immune
–Saving throws now provide feedback on which effect you saved against
-Vampires now get the same +4 vs turning as liches do, as per rules for intelligent undead.
-All classes that progress knight feats also progress blackguard sneak attack as well EXCEPT Half-Outsider. Half-Outsider only grants sneak attack if you choose Path of Guile, otherwise you’d get double sneak dice from Half-Outsider if you have both Blackguard and Path of Guile.
-All classes that progress Warlock casting also count towards Imbue Item qualification. You will get Imbue Item if your Warlock base class is 12 or greater or if your total Warlock casting level is 15 or greater.


Under the Hood Changes:
-FF_GetSpellSaveDC() function created to properly get the right save DC, including the correct ability modifier. Will work on cleric domain spells and psi/psy abilities. Currently only implemented on Evards but will be added to other problem spells as we find them.
-PS_GetCasterLevel() function now has an optional argument for passing a specific class id so that we can get a caster level outside of the context of casting a spell (does not change functionality of use within that context. Note that this renders a function in ps_inc_casterlevel obsolete, but leaving it in for now until I have time to track down all instances of it)
