Necro epic stats

[planarity]

As shown in this (http://www.legacyofsteel.net/home/archives/2000-11-13/ronald-1.jpg) picture from this (http://www.legacyofsteel.net/Archives/Post/2000-11-13) page, at some point in the timeline the necro epic had +40hp and +20 mana (currently has +20hp and +80mana on P99).

The change may be related to changes in the stats on the warrior epic as mentioned in Loraen's post (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=120677); I remember reading somewhere that all the epics were balanced to each add a total of 100 mana/hp across the board, but I don't know the details.

The epics were most likely updated with a few pre-Velious patches. Note, at the bottom of this page:

The Patch dated the 15th November changed the Shaman's Spear of Fate by increasing the damage/delay, and adding more Mana, the Rogue's Ragebringer by adding more hp's, and the Monks Celestial Fists with regards to the haste type and damage/delay to our Fists.

In patch notes, here are the relevant patches discussing epic changes:
