Change Log [2017/04/26] (Beta 4)

Playtesting is ongoing, but here are some changes that have been added in the past month; expect more in the coming updates.

  • [Core Rules] Capped the number of enemies you can create a maelstrom with using the "Engage" action (Move) at "maximum value of your class die"
  • [Core Rules] "Shift" action (Move) can now engage one unengaged enemy
  • [Core Rules] Subclasses changed so that they must be selected when entering initiative (instead of at char-gen)
  • [Core Rules] Paths added to the character customization options
  • Changed Cleric, Sage, and Rogue subclasses to "Paths"
  • Changed Warlord archetypes to "Roles" and renamed them accordingly
  • Changed Warlord's options for Performance skills to include Expertise or Training, instead of just training
  • Sage's power sources expanded to 3, but narrowed down a bit
  • Bard's power sources changed to "arcane, plus one of Divine/Martial" instead of "any two"
  • Mystic's power sources changed to "two of Arcane/Primal/Shadow" instead of "Arcane + Shadow"
  • Guardian's power sources changed to accommodate the new Subclass mechanics
  • Adventurer's power sources changed; Scout only gains two of Martial/Primal/Shadow instead of all three; Skald now gains two of Arcane/Martial/Primal instead of Primal and one other
  • Swordmage's Shielding Sigil changed so that opportunity attacks can negate enemy actions; Beguiling Blade changed to grant advantage on defense when counter-attacking an enemy with your sigil
  • Bard now has the option to take an archetype from other classes within their slate (i.e. Sage schools, Hexblade, Swordmage)
  • Bard's Arcane Luck ability now has the [Concentration] tag added
  • Sage's Eldritch Enchantment changed to grant advantage on attack rolls, and to use your class die for bonus damage.
  • Spellbinder's skills adjusted again; Hexblade back to only 2 core Trained skills; split skill selection into 2 toggles instead of 1 toggle and 1 solely for Hexblade.
  • Cleric's Divine Smite using the Life Domain now restores HP equal to the rolled damage (instead of using a separate roll)
