10 shownPre-alpha
v3.0.0
Changed2
- Replaced Rogue Phantom’s Clean Abort (Tier 1), Measured Hands (Tier 2), and Shadow Hand (Tier 3) with False Lead, Covert Recovery, and Prepared Blind respectively. These replace the previous mechanics; existing character selections should be reviewed with the Guide.
- Alphabetised the Powers within every Rogue Tier. Existing Power links remain usable.
Pre-alpha
v2.1.1
Changed1
- Clarified Killing Line: choose whether to exploit the opening when initiating the next attack, before the opponent chooses their Exchange Response. Simplified the wording and removed the redundant opening-replacement clause.
Pre-alpha
v2.1.0
Added1
- Added Killing Line to Warrior Tier 3, between Deathblow and Passage of Blows. Forgo a won Melee Exchange’s Wounds to risk a second strike for twice Melee SL added to Wound Margin.
Pre-alpha
v2.0.0
Changed1
- Moved Eviscerate from Fighter Warrior Tier 3 to Rogue Viper Tier 3. Its existing wording, Melee-linked mechanics, Tier and stable link identity are unchanged. The Finesse revision remains separate. This changes which Class offers the Power.
Pre-alpha
v1.0.5
Changed3
- Removed Optional Random Difficulty and its summary reminder. The fixed Difficulty Rating table remains unchanged.
- Clarified that a Skill has a fixed Linked Vital; removed per-check Vital selection from Combat and the conflicting Resilience reference from Venom Vials. Skill, dice, difficulty and Damage Vital rules are preserved.
- Linked the Primant Trance overview directly to the governing Trance and spellcasting procedures.
Pre-alpha
v1.0.4
Changed2
- Renamed the Witch Class to Primant throughout the rules, Class navigation, Bloodlines, Magic examples and quickstart download. Existing Class page links redirect to Primant.
- Replaced the Primant introduction, Path descriptions, Starting Kit and Trance overview with the approved Primal magic description. Class Powers are unchanged.
Pre-alpha
v1.0.3
Changed2
- Separated Venom Vials into coating, trigger, failure and limit steps. Its uses, target check, difficulty, duration and restrictions are unchanged.
- Restored Tier headings inside the expandable Class Power groups on all five Class pages, preserving Power text, order and deep links.
Pre-alpha
v1.0.2
Changed1
- Classified voluntary Trance release as a Trivial Action costing 0 AD. Its once-on-your-turn limit, Overcharge tests and release rolls remain in effect.
Pre-alpha
v1.0.1
Changed2
- Specified that Encumbered reduces Base Movement by one quarter and Heavily Encumbered halves Base Movement, before calculating Walk, Run, or Sprint. The separate Sprint Skill bonus is unchanged.
- Applied the same Encumbrance calculation in every Scene Mode, retaining fractional metres until the completed allowance is converted through Distance & Range. Added worked examples and aligned the Movement sequence.
Pre-alpha
v1.0.0
Changed4
- Wounds now take Ready AD or Ready MD before any Used dice. The character taking the Wounds chooses the type within that state; injured MD become Wounded AD. Updated the dice, Vitality, Magic and combat references to match.
- Replaced Weakened’s melee-damage penalty with Impaired Refresh for Used AD and Used MD. Unstable Trance still makes only its existing refresh roll.
- Limited Continuation Checks to characters who remain Active after Wounds. Collapsed characters use Death & Recovery.
- Corrected the illustrative relic Overcharge to convert existing AD into MD, preserving Dice Conservation.
