Server-side Character Advancement now stores named, icon-tagged build
recipes (panel-purchased spells + per-spec talent ranks) and atomically
swaps between them by snapshotting the active build, refunding AE/TE
through HandleParagonReset{Talents,Abilities}, and re-spending on the
target recipe. Hunter pets attached to a build are parked to
PET_SAVE_NOT_IN_SLOT (mirroring HandleStableSwapPet) so name, talents,
and exp survive swaps; non-hunter pets (warlock demon, DK ghoul, mage
water elemental) are NOT parked because the engine resummons them from
a fresh template each cast.
New PARAA verbs: Q BUILDS / C BUILD NEW / C BUILD EDIT / C BUILD
DELETE / C BUILD FAVORITE / C BUILD LOAD. The catalog is pushed on
login and after every mutation as a single addon message.
Schema (mod-paragon migration 2026_05_10_03.sql):
- character_paragon_builds (build_id PK, guid, name, icon, is_favorite,
pet_number, created_at)
- character_paragon_build_spells (build_id, spell_id)
- character_paragon_build_talents (build_id, spec, talent_id, rank)
- character_paragon_active_build (guid PK, build_id)
The talent recipe table is spec-keyed so a build remembers tank/dps
dual-spec layouts independently. Swaps are blocked while in combat.

mod-paragon
Server-side support module for the custom CLASS_PARAGON (id 12).
What it does today
Hooks Player::IsClass / Player::HasActivePowerType so Paragon
inherits Death Knight ability mechanics where it matters:
- Rune system:
InitRunes, rune cooldown tick, runic power regen,Spell::CheckRuneCost/Spell::TakeRunePower,SMSG_RESYNC_RUNEScast flags, combat exit grace reset. - DK ability scripts:
spell_dk_*,MUST_BE_DEATH_KNIGHTcast result, DK aura effects.
It is intentionally narrow: the hook only fires for
(realClass == PARAGON, queriedClass == DEATH_KNIGHT, context == CLASS_CONTEXT_ABILITY).
Other DK-flavored contexts (Ebon Hold teleport gating, heroic start
level, DK-only taxi mount, talent point math on Ebon Hold, etc.) keep
their normal behavior for Paragon.
HasActivePowerType additionally claims POWER_RUNIC_POWER and
POWER_RUNE for Paragon, which keeps the rune pool sized correctly
in Player::InitStatsForLevel even if Paragon's primary power type is
later switched away from runic power.
Building
Auto-detected by modules/CMakeLists.txt (GetModuleSourceList globs
every subdirectory). No additional CMake plumbing is needed; rebuild
the worldserver image and the loader symbol Addmod_paragonScripts
gets linked into the static modules target.
SQL layout
SQL files live under data/sql/db-world/base/ and
data/sql/db-characters/base/ — the standard AzerothCore module path
that the built-in DBUpdater scans (see
src/server/database/Updater/UpdateFetcher.cpp). Files placed there
are applied automatically by worldserver / dbimport on startup and
recorded by hash in the updates table of the target database, so
re-runs are idempotent. Any new SQL added under those directories will
be picked up on the next container/server start without manual import.
