[Extropy]

Areas
- Updated Ogre Bandit Cave to use new treasure, tweaked the Ogre Bandit Leader and drops.

Creatures
- Replaced Tz-Auber's troll script with a custom troll script that doesn't make trolls bizarrely immune to 95% of character abilities. Trolls will die instantly if they have been damaged by fire/acid & are vulnerable to death magic, mind spells, etc.

Economy
- Added a few more rare items to various treasure types (weapons, armor, gems, etc)

Spells
- Updated magic vestment so that it can effect other player's shields. This can be done by casting magic vestment again at the player/npc again and it will detect that the armor already has magic vestment and automatically apply the second spell to their shield instead.

- Fixed Tasha's Hideous Laughter to work properly with PFA.

- Mistwood: added lower CR options for snake encounters.

Misc

- Weapon spells no longer work on arrows/bolts/bullets. They still work on ranged weapons, but this prevents stacking 1d4 fire damage on an enchanted bow with 1d4 acid damage on an enchanted arrow.
- Timestop now cancels when a hostile spell is cast
- Updated Bigby's Forceful Hand to use caster's primary attribute*0.6 vs victim's strength modifier.

The Hide in Plain Sight timer was hot-fixed live an hour or so ago. Shadowdancers can now hide normally while HIPS is on cooldown. If you HIPS too early, you just hide normally.

To hide normally: use the normal stealth hotkey/radial.
To hide in plain sight: !hips chat command or make a custom text macro hotkey with command !hips
