New Creation Update Questions
Looking it over, I had a few questions I wanted to unearth, or clariifactions.

Was Gift of Endurance's 0.5 ECL in comparison to the other stats a typo, or intended?
Is the Spell Resistance Gift lowerable via spell-breach or is it like the Monk's spell resistance?
Do Existing Characters keep their ECL? (Clarification, I think it assumes yes?)

Re: New Creation Update Questions
An additive question: Does the spell resistance come all at once or like with UD monsters, 11+character lvl, capped on lvl 21?

does this mean drow have the same stats as elves now? and duergar=dwarves, etc.?

Hrm.
Would it be allowed to remake a charather with these new changes added?

Remaking characters is allowed, as long as they're not a MoD character that ran out of lives.

You won't get any levels back though.
A cobra is a venomous snake belonging to the family elapidae. The name is short for cobra de capelo, which is Portuguese for "snake with hood", or "hood-snake".

The Spell resistance is all granted at level 1.

I imagine this was intentional. A CON boost doesn't give the same advantages that the other stats do. Everything else either gives a bonus to AB/AC or casting power/volume. Extra HP and Fortitude saves are nice, but don't contribute nearly as much in the sense of making XP collection easier.

Re: New Creation Update Questions
Yes, CON is a reactive stat so is priced lower than the others.

SR is all at level 1 and behaves like existing Drow/Duergar/Fey resistance.

Existing characters are unchanged.

New Drow have the same stats as base Elves (ditto wood elves etc) and you can use Gifts to customise them.

So the increases are hard bonuses then I would imagine. Overall a very interesting system.

Re: New Creation Update Questions
I think the SR bonus is quite OP, however.
...does the gift of humility allow you to reach level 32?
