Greater somnis will now trigger for PSM skills when the attacker is holding/is wearing the applicable weapon/shield/armor.
Greater somnis now works against player targets.
When greater somnis successfully triggers a pre-attack sleep flare on a cast or PSM attack, it will no longer immediately wake up the target with the cast or PSM attack that immediately follows.
Greater somnis should no longer provide conflicting messaging when it puts certain otherwise-sleep-resistant undead to sleep. In more concrete terms, you shouldn’t see any version of “X stays awake!” at the same time as you see “X falls asleep!” This change does not impact what is and isn’t affected by somnis.
That’s all the work I have planned for somnis right now, but please do post at More somnis fixes if something else looks broken with somnis. I’ll keep an eye on that thread for at least the next few days.
