My listed playtime on my character Calym Rasharn doesn't seem to get past 7 days 1 hour. I don't know if that affects any other background data stuff with my character.

Just checked and can confirm it's the same for my character Vahn Stanek
Active: Vahn Stanek
Others: Aelas Telenseer, Fenn Yrren
Closured: Adan Elandi

There is an issue regarding disguise where once you remove your disguise, your name in the character's list doesn't get updated.
It's been twice now that I try sending DMs to players after taking the disguise down that tell me the message appears under the disguised name.


Character List:

Marph - Closured
Marius Rucescu - Closured
Romeo Lascaris - Closured

So they're out-of-control quasi-real illusions of dread elementals? Weird.

Yeah, because Shadow Conjuration (and Shades), as per the rules, "can mimic any sorcerer or wizard conjuration (summoning) or conjuration (creation) spell of 3rd level or lower." Since it mimics the spell, it mimics all its abilities, even those modified by a setting. Though, technically they should have less HP than their regular counterpart (20% in the case of Shadow Conjuration, 80% in the case of Shades, with some other modifiers for Ravenloft), and revert to hostile shadows at the end of the spell's duration, but those are things we haven't implemented for mechanical reasons.

In the Guignol Museum, there's a plaque on the first floor where the Amber Wastes exhibit is that denotes that it's the room for 'clockwork wonders and other modern marvels'. Might have gotten it mixed up!

EDIT: The plaques for both the adjoining chambers in that exhibit are the same.
This will be fixed. Thanks for letting me know.

Favored souls can't turn undead, so why?

Not an error. They may have no turn undead by themselves, but can obtain it through multiclassing. Favored Souls-Monster hunters come to mind.

Why not just class restrict it to monster hunters and not favored souls?

Because monster hunter is not a divine class. It is a divinely attuned item. And note here that Voodan are not included. This too is for a reason: Osiris could have empowered favored souls, but never a voodan.

When Applying VFX glowing eyes to an elf with a height adjustment above 1 the eyes move off center on the head as seen here.

This is a known issue, VFX were not created with our custom size system in mind. I am uncertain that is something we'll ever be able to fix. I suggest players to keep to the default size if they intend to have VFX applied to their characters.

The problem in this case is, I believe, these glowing eyes were applied as part of outward visual sympthoms of the affliction that is the subject of a current DM plot.

Thanks MAB. I guessed as much but thought I'd throw it up here just in case. I'm sure we can manage in the meantime.

Not a bug per se; my understanding was that the Marson's Cane would be removed from the loot tables with the addition of the replacement item. If such understanding is correct, it would appear Marson's Cane is still dropping and thus hasn't  been removed from the loot tables.

The first time was with a blank tag.
Then it happened again with the tag: bpa_bomb.

I think we just decided to add another item but keep it as well. It doesn't hurt to have it so long as there are other options.

After logging off in the OOC - Lounge area, the portal to return to the game world is not working. It plays animation, but doesn't let player to get teleported, also player cannot use door to exit OOC - Lounge.

The Hagspawn subrace is seemingly unable to take the Channeled Rage barbarian feat. I was wondering if this was intentional, as other non half-orc/caliban of the phenotype like Tarek are able to take it and being unusually resistant to magic is one of the hagspawn's background traits so it feels like they should be able to achieve that 32 spell resist cap imo.

Sounds correct. Unlike Tarek, Hagspawn has a racial change from Half-Orc to Monstrous Humanoid so it's no longer valid for the Channeled Rage requirements.

As pointed out by zDark Shadowz, hagspawns are neither calibans or half-orcs. That being said, Tareks aren't either and should be fixed to become monstrous humanoids. I'll fix them next update.

Polymorphed druid equipment AC seems to have become natural AC instead of deflection, so enchanted gear isn't going to be helpful AC-wise as the AC bonus isn't going to stack with a druids' barkskin or elephants' hide now.

I only used +1 AC equipment on my lv 19 druid and used brooch of shielding anyway, but it's going to suck for people rocking enchanted leather armor expecting to have +4 deflection AC after a polymorph and just having it overridden by barkskin.
