BUGFIX

* DM Client - A beta version of the Dungeon Master Client is now available. You can access it from the NWN2 Launcher, or by running nwn2.exe with the -dmc switch. This allows you to start a multiplayer game in which you can have a great deal of control over creating, managing, and commanding creatures, placeables, and more. Over the next three monthly patches we will be continuing to add features, fix bugs, and improve the interface.

* New Druid Spells - Druids have been granted 9 new spells, one for each level. In addition, the feat Natural Spell has been added. Druids that take the Natural Spell feat may cast spells while Polymorphed or Wild Shaped.

**Level 1 - Foundation of Stone: This spell grants a target immunity to knockdown, but reduces their movement speed.

**Level 2 - Body of the Sun: The caster's body emanates fire, burning nearby creatures.

**Level 3 - Jagged Tooth: This spell grants a targeted animal the Keen property on one of its natural weapons.

**Level 4 - Moonbolt: This spell creates a bolt of energy that deals strength damage to living creatures and knocks down undead, giving them penalties on attack rolls and saving throws.

**Level 5 - Rejuvenation Cocoon: The target of this spell becomes encased in a regenerative cocoon, where they are cured from poison and disease and regenerate health.

**Level 6 - Tortoise Shell: The caster gains a natural armor bonus of +6, plus an additional 1 per every three caster levels to a maximum of +9.

**Level 7 - Swamp Lung: This spell causes victims to fall prone for 1-6 rounds, during which time they can catch disease.

**Level 8 - Storm Avatar: This spell infuses the caster with the energy of a storm, making them immune to missiles, hasting them, and adding damage to their attacks

**Level 9 - Nature's Avatar: This spell grants a targeted animal a series of very powerful buffs.

Weapon combos in hotbar: Added the ability to set up dual weapon, weapon & shield, or weapon & torch combos in the hotbar. Clicking the hotbar button for a weapon you already have equipped will unequip it.

" Camera Changes: We've made a series of camera changes to this version:
New options for adjusting sensitivity for controlling the camera by keyboard, mouse, and edge of screen.

Chase Cam adjusted to work more like NWN1.

In free cam mode, the arrow keys now pan the camera, and holding down CTRL will zoom and yaw the camera.

Added bindable keyboard key for mouse look / camera control. This mimics functionality of pressing down the middle mouse button for those without a middle mouse button.

Graphics Optimizations: A number of new graphics optimizations have been added:

Anti-Aliasing Support: Anti-aliasing is now supported and can be enabled in the Options Menu. Please note: This could significantly affect frame rate, depending on your hardware.

Tree Rendering: Speed improvements to the rendering of trees.

Water Rendering: Speed improvements to how water is rendered by the engine.

New Options:

Buy/Sell Confirmation: You can now turn off the buy/sell confirmation dialog.
Options menu has been reorganized to support many new camera control options.

You can now change keybindings in game.

Database Support:
The database script functions from NWN1 have been re-enabled. They are now significantly faster in many cases.

* Water Reflection/Refraction - Water is now more visually exciting! Users have the option to toggle Water Reflection and Refraction on in the Options Menu under the Advanced Graphics tab. Note: These settings can cause slowdowns on older hardware.

* Client Packs - Module makers can now create Client Packs in the toolset, which can be placed in clients My Documentspwc folder to allow users to connect to Multiplayer Games for which they do not have the module. These .pwc files contain only the data absolutely necessary to run the module on the client side are useful if, for instance, you are running a persistent world and do not wish to allow clients to open your module with all of its areas, creatures, and scripts visible.

Voice Menu: Users can now press the Voice Menu key ('V' by default) to activate a menu from which they can quickly access frequently used voice commands and emotes. Users can drag these to the hotbar, as well.
Added support for bindable keys to change the hotbar pages.
You can now drag and drop buttons from the Mode Bar and Quick Cast Menu onto the Hotbar. This will also work for Spontaneously Converted spells.

--A beta implementation of Multi-Select is now available as an option in both the DM Client and main game client.

We are planning to continue to revise and improve our Multi-Select functionality in future patches.

--There is now an "Advanced Options" button on the Server Options panel. Server Administrators can specify two URLs in this menu: One, intended to point to their server's homepage, if it has one, and one intended to directly point to the server's latest PWC file. Players will be able to see these links from the Server Details on the Internet Game browser and clicking them will launch the user's Browser and direct them to the URL specified.

--There is now a 4th parameter to the DisplayGuiScreen() script function that allows a user to define the name fo the *.xml file to load if the 'ScreenName' can't be found inside the INIs already. This will allow custom GUI creators to add GUIs (Using the uicustom folder) and not need to edit the INIs stored in uidefault to make the game able to load them.

--Augment Summoning and Augment Healing are now selectable once their prerequisites have been met.
