Be careful what you wish for
the light spell is actually a very powerful spell with a high caster level which IMO is the better use of the Drow shape.
The changes to the light spell on the server mean the following:
- Applies a -20 Hide penalty when targeted on a creature
- At caster level 31, summons a Firefly with 200 Hit Points per caster level over 30
The -20 hide works nicely for the Drow shape as they are geared towards being able to spot stealth npcs or hips'ers so is a nice tactic to be able to use.
And onto the other benefit of light... the firefly...to give an example if you have a Drow build that is caster based, such as bard or something, you can get a caster level of 35 (for example) which gives you the ability to infinitely cast a 1000hp damage shield in the form of a firefly that is immune to sneak attack and critical hits. Sure if you are in tensers you can't cast it repeatedly but believe me this is an extremely useful asset to have and I will unlikely change it because it's use has been proven very well (I'm not sure if people have forgotten about it though). We used this tactic to take down some of the toughest bosses such as Smaug. It has also been used to solo some bosses.
And going on to the spell resistance spell, again using an example of a 35 caster, that will give you a SR of somewhere in the mid 40s which is great for avoiding things like WOF against similar level casters. I think this shape originally had haste, but when perma-haste was added to the mod I replaced it with SR.
Looks like you've found some things that need a little TLC in the forum (Spell Resistance spell is missing from the spell changes thread) and I need to check the changes to drow in terms of spells.
