Now hitting something with the thing that overcomes the regeneration simply turns it off for 1 round. All other damage is still lethal, the creature just won't die if its regeneration is active.</p>Regen no longer causes damage to differentiate between lethal and nonlethal.

<p>Think about it. If you decided to use the Crown of Fangs in your home game, and had Paizo not made the change to the artifact, any wearer would be invulnerable if you didn't also bring Serithtial along with it.</p>
<p>Now the real question is what description are you going to use in the Curse of the Crimson Throne? I'm going to stick with the old description and only allow Serithtial do the deed.</p>I think this change was made to make the Crown of Fangs setting neutral.

Would that mean that all other damage is considered non-lethal?</p>
<p>Also I was curious if people still used Serithial's weapon shifting abilities from the book. I noticed that they left that part out of the newer artifacts book.</p>I noticed that it says that the Queen's regeneration doesn't work against Serithtial, but in the Crown of Fang's description it says that only Serithial, a holy avenger, or a paladin's smite can do lethal damage to her.
