Table of Contents

This page lists the upcoming and previous HMs relating to rules changes, and how we use the wikis.

rules With regaards to the actual-spell backed cantrips for experimentation purposes: how to cover non-caster classes, and how to approach this without multiplying the spell conversion load?

wiki The Meta Rules have been updated with a short spoiler policy, and the Spoilers tag has been created as a counterpart to the Redactions tag. The Custom Content page contains an explicit spoiler policy, and some rules pages related to custom content have been updated.

Proposals to review:

Previous HMs

rules Soulshard adjustment: After reinscription, your Eidolon will be fully restored as if Restabilizing Meditation has been used. Any additional things, such as feats, that would apply for the class feature apply after resinscription as well.

rules To better allow the creation of Custom Content, we will be handling spoilers a little differently.

rules+setting Discussed how to handle the setting intent that magic is a bit more practicable and malleable than the current rules allow. Two suggestions were made and we want to implement those:
- Suggestion #1: Every caster class gets cantrip-variants of spells known, that are dependent on the actual spell still being available for casting (still prepared for wizard-like casters, still having the right slots available for sorcerer-like casters, etc.)
- Suggestion #2: Allowing Spellcraft checks for modify a spell a little at casting time, allowing for more flexibility, at the cost of overextending and suffering mishaps.

wiki Add a Work in Progress tag for things that are not propsals yet, but that you want to tag to communicate that they are not done (or rules) yet.

rules Provisional approval for the Slayer class (to allow Svala to multiclass into Slayer 1.)
rules Provisional approval for Meteor Hammer (to allow Rovar to use his chosen weapon.)

question Class ordering when multi-classing and first-level bonus hitpoints? This will be handled as described in Multiclassing.

rules Adjusted Detect Magic to give a +2 competence bonus on identifying inscribed items, instead of allowing a roll.
rules Switched Character Advancement to milestone-based experience, which includes a reweighing of experience points.
rules Everyone's experience is reduced by 12xp to correct for time taken pre-level 1, and the corrected experience table.

question There is a first Armor table. What are your opinions on adjusting ASF (and PSF) to account: 1) for restricted spell selection ofmagic users (not everyone has mage armor-equivalent spells ready to rock), and 2) setting-related material properties?

wiki All recently approved feats and spells have been added. When converting feats, please put the feat body text at the top, and the feat table summary in the synopsis field.

rules Adjusted the Inscription Personalization Points per level for level 1 to +4, with the note that these must be used on a Physiological or Cognitive Enhancement Suite pick.

rules Correct the Psychic's Utilistic Transducer 'Second Aspect' discipline power is replaced with 'Early Aspect Aptitude'.

rules Add note on bonus languages due to intelligence to Linguistics rules.
rules Reminder: we have special Knowledge rules, so make sure to propose and declare knowledge areas. (As per New Characters, all Ilfreann-origin characters get the special "Ilfreann" knowledge area for all knowledge skills.

wiki Classes have been added tot config.
- This includes an attempt at the Soulshard Eidolon. Let me know if this needs adjustment.
wiki Languages have been added to the config. This includes both Languages and Scripts.
- The character sheet does not understand our custom linguistics rules (nor will it). So you'll have to make do.
wiki Please track spent skill ranks for Linguistics and Knowledge, as well as knowledge areas, on your character sheet notes.

rules Adjusted Aran Racial feature 'Energy Channels' to start with two energy channels.
