April 2023

General

• Armour

  Shields
  • Added a Buckler, which is a lighter shield that only grants +1 AC, but can be donned and doffed similar to a weapon as it is not strapped to the arm. Assassins and Tricksters have proficiency in Bucklers.
  • The AC of the Tower Shield has been reduced to +2, but now grants Half Cover, so the AC bonus is equivalent to +4 if the attacker does not have any way of negating that cover. The penalty to speed has been removed. Also, added a Strength 15 requirement.

  Feats

  Healer
  • Buff: Included a clause with the new use of the Healer's Kit.
  Lucky
  • Slight Buff: The initial nerf to the number of uses has been reverted, and it is now its usual 3 uses. However, it only recharges 1d3 luck points every long rest. This allows characters to plan for this ability to have 3 uses when necessary (i.e. in 3 days' time of not using it, you will always have 3 uses).

  Weapons

  Traits
  • Added the Concealed trait, which allows a weapon to be more easily concealed and grants Advantage on the attack if the target is unaware of the weapon.
  • Added the Deadly trait, which deals an extra die of damage when you score a critical hit or roll at least 10 + the target's AC.
  • Added the Double weapon trait, which expresses how a weapon can be used in one hand or in two hands like two separate weapons.
  • Added the Fatal trait, which is similar to Deadly, except stronger in that it also increases the weapon die size.
  • Added the Forceful trait, which grants extra damage to the weapon the more times you attack with it on a turn, as you build momentum.
  • Added the Sweeping trait, which grants a bonus to attack rolls when attacking subsequent enemies.
  • Added the Grappling trait, which allows the weapon to grapple a target.
  Simple Weapons
  • Rework: The Net now requires a Dexterity save rather than making an attack roll (you should be able to easily net a heavily armoured non-dextrous guard, for example).
  • Slight Buff: The Sling now has the Propulsive trait.
  • Slight Buff: The Shortbow has the Deadly (d10) trait.
  Martial Weapons
  • Added Cane Sword, Falchion, Greatpick.
  • Slight Buff: The Battleaxe, Flail, Heavy Flail, Greataxe now have the Sweeping trait.
  • Rework: The Glaive now deals 1d8 damage, down from 1d10. However, it also has the Deadly (d8) and the Forceful traits.
  • Rework: The Rapier now deals 1d6 damage, down from 1d8. However, it now has the Deadly (d10) trait.
  • Rework: The Scimitar has lost the Light and Finesse traits. However, it now has the Forceful and Sweeping traits.
  • Buff: The Trident now deals 1d8 damage, up from 1d6. It has lost the Versatile trait.
  • Rework: The War Pick now deals 1d6 damage, down from 1d8, and its Versatile trait has been reduced to (1d8). However, it has the Fatal (d10) trait.
  • Slight Buff: The Blowgun now has the Concealed trait.
  • Rework: The Longbow has the Deadly (d10) trait, but also has the Volley (10m) trait, which makes it less effective against closer targets.
  Exotic Weapons
  • Added new options: Bola, Bladed Fan, Composite Longbow, Composite Shortbow, Kusarigama, Shuriken, Spiked Chain
  • Rework: The Dual Blade is now purely a finesse weapon, with the Forceful and Sweeping traits when using it combined. The damage in its combined form has been reduced from 3d4 to 2d4.
  • Slight Buff: The Wakizashi, Katana now have the Deadly (d10) trait.
  Firearms
  • Added new firearm options: Dragon Mouth Pistol, and Light Pistol
  • Rework: Updated the Burst Fire property to have a listed radius instead of a default one. Also, it nows deals automatic splash damage.
  • Slight Buff: The Firearm property now targets the weaker resistance stage between bludgeoning and piercing damage.
  • Slight Buff: You can now Reload using your bonus action and your movement, in addition to the usual options of using your action, or one of your weapon attacks.
  • Reworded how the gunblade works to allow for greater flexibility of which blade is used.

  Items

  Healer's Kit

  Increased the usefulness of the Healer's Kit in out of combat bandaging and treating of wounds.

  • Buff: You can now treat a creature's wounds for 10 minutes, expending a use of the Healer's Kit, to try and heal a creature a larger amount.
  • Because of the change, the Healer's Kit now costs 10gp.
  Short range increase

  Because we use metres rather than feet, the 20ft short range of a dagger, which would normally be 4 squares, had become 6m, which is only 3 squares (almost melee range at this point). The difference is very acute at shorter ranges, so these have been bufed accordingly.

  • Buff: All weapons that had a 6m short range have been increased to an 8m short range. All items that had a 10m short range have been increased to a 12m short range.

January — March 2023

General

• Conditions

  Brittle
  • Rework: Has now been reworked to operate similar to Exhaustion as levels. This was to standardise the Brittle effects across the ice-related spells so that they were not reducing different amounts of speed or interacting strangely with other non-ice effects that reduce speed.
  Exhaustion
  • Rework: Now has up to 10 levels, up from six. Instead of having different effects at different levels, it has been simplified to apply a –1 penalty to attack rolls, ability checks, saving throws, and save DCs that they apply for each level of Exhaustion.

  Martial Maneuvers

  General
  • To give martial classes more flair in their attacks, beyond just declaring an attack, the following classes can now learn a set of Martial Maneuvers - techniques that allow them to disarm, trip, menace, etc. on their attacks: Barbarians, Blackguards, Dragoons, Knights, Monks, Paladins, Rangers, and Samurai.

  Feats

  • Level 4: Phasing Smite
  • Level 7: Cold Snap
  Most ICE-related spells

  Because of the rework to how the Brittle condition worked, most ice spells have been tweaked to work with this change.

  • Cantrips: Ray of Frost (speed reduction increased)
  • Level 1: Blizzard, Hoarfrost Smite
  • Level 2: Ice Knife
  • Level 3: Blizzara
  • Level 4: Rimespear
  • Level 5: Blizzaga
  • Level 6: Antarctic Sphere, Freeze, Ice Wall
  • Level 8: Fimbulvetr, Freezeblink
  • Level 9: Absolute Zero
  Curasa, Cura

  Tuning down the power of these bonus action ranged healing spells.

  • Nerf: The healing dice is now a d4, down from a d6.
  True Strike

  True Strike was a very bad cantrip, and it was almost always better to just attack twice over two turns than using this and then attacking next turn. These buffs make it more incentivising to learn for specific characters.

  • Buff: Is now a bonus action instead of an action.
  • Buff: Does not require concentration.
  • Buff: Range increased from 10m to 20m.
  • Buff: Grants Advantage on next attack roll, instead of first attack roll on your next turn.

General

• Conditions

  • Buff: Charger now grants an increase to your Strength or Dexterity score by 1.
  • Buff: Poisoner now allows you to bypass Immunity to POISON damage (it is instead treated as Resistance). Also, the POISON damage when applied to a weapon was increased, along with the Poisoned condition duration, and the damage is buffed from 10th Level onwards.

  Modified spells

  Aerora

  Damage is now on par with Spirit Sentinels, another similar persistent damaging and speed reducing AoE.

  • Buff: Now deals 3d8 damage, up from 2d8.
  Comet

  Previously, its average damage was only 30.5, with Fira, just one level lower, having an average damage of 28, with the same area effect and range. The only upside was the fact that it dealt earth damage as well, which comboed well with the Earth Elemental Mastery. The damage has been increased to make it scale better, considering also its restriction of needing a ceiling height of at least 15m to be usable (i.e. mainly only used outdoors).

  • Buff: Now deals 4d8 EARTH plus 3d12 FIRE damage, up from 4d6 EARTH plus 3d10 FIRE damage. However, now scales worse with increased spell levels, using the d8 EARTH dice instead of the old d10 FIRE dice. But the radius of the Sphere increases by 2m for each spell level increase now.
  Flash

  Made this spell better to use as the caster can now take advantage of the blind.

  • Buff: The creatures are now blinded until the end of your turn, instead of the end of their turn, effectively increasing its duration.
  • Buff: You are now excluded from this area of effect.
  Icy Shield

  A complete dispel when hit by FIRE damage is quite a penalty, especially if just hit by 1 FIRE damage. So, changing it that FIRE damage deals double damage to the temporary HP, so the effect is proportionate to the damage.

  • Slight Buff: When hit by FIRE damage, the effect is no longer dispelled, but instead, FIRE damage deals double damage to the temporary HP granted by this spell.
  Ruinga

  Damage and effects were not on par with a 4th Level spell.

  • Buff: The damage increased from 4d10 to 5d10, and the radius increased to 8m from 6m.
  Sleepga

  This was too strong of a Crowd Control spell. It has now been brought down to a similar level of Hypnotic Pattern.

  • Nerf: When someone would be woken up when affected by this spell, it no longer ignores the first instance, and it no longer needs to make saving throws to try and recover from its sleep.
  Slow

  Slow is one of the more powerful debuffs, and access to this early is too powerful. Moved the spell to 2nd Level, and increased the range.

  • Nerf: The spell's base level increased from 1st level to 2nd level.
  • Buff: The range of the spell is increased to 30m from 10m.
  Slowga

  Just added a material component because of the strength of this spell. Otherwise, just tidied up some of the text around suspending effects.

  • Slight Nerf: The spell now has a material component requirement in the form of a drop of molasses.
  Stonera

  With a different initial saving throw, it can now be used to target low strength, high dexterity creatures to reduce their mobility and dexterity.

  • Slight Rework: The initial saving throw is now a STR saving throw.
  Synchronise

  In its previous iteration, Synchronise was hard to use as a Time Mage or a White Mage, as you are effectively directing more damage to yourself from the warded creature, when you mostly want it the other way around (particularly for the Time Mage). This spell now has the flexibility to do so, at the cost of requiring a material component with a gp cost.

  • Buff: You can now target two creatures to be bonded with this spell, instead of being forced to be one of the bonded creatures.
  • Nerf: The spell now has a material component requirement in the form of a platinum ring worth 50gp on each of the bonded creatures.

Classes

• ARCANIST

  • Added Black Blade of Disaster, Disguise, Inflict Wounds, Loop, Phantasm, Seeming

  • Buff: Magitek Armour now has a Level Restriction of 5, down from 6.

  MONK

  General
  • Major Rework: The Monk class has had a major rework, adding more passive features, and reworking some of the skill trees, as well as replacing the Drunken Fist skill tree with the Way of Mercy skill tree.

  PALADIN

  General
  • Buff: Reverted the homebrew nerf to the Divine Smite feature. It is no longer restricted to once per turn, and it can now critically strike. Moreover, it deals 1d8 extra damage when used against Fiends or Undead.

  SAMURAI

  General
  • Rework:Removed the Fighting Style feature, and instead replaced it with a unique Fighting Stance feature, which will allow Samurai to change their stance to acquire bonuses as the situation around them changes.
  Bushido
  • Buff: Now grants a bonus skill proficiency between Insight, Medicine, or Perception after spending 3 skill points in this skill tree.
  • Buff: The wording of Hidden Dragon has been updated with the new 'unaspected damage' key word. Base damage increased by 1d6 to 4d6.
  Spirit Arts
  • Buff: Now grants a the ability to ritually cast Commune with Nature after spending 5 skill points in this tree.
  Ki-ryu
  • Nerf: Gyoten bonuses reduced at 10m and 14m, now only providing a +2 bonus to attack rolls at 10m instead of +3/+3, and now granting a +2 bonus to damage roll at 14m instead of doubling the bonus granted at 10m.
  Sword Saint
  • Buff: Ki Cost for spells now equals its spell level, rather than spell level + 1.
  • Buff: Soul of Faith: Life Domain now grants Ki Points equal to Proficiency Bonus, instead of a flat 3.
  • Slight Buff: Prayer of Renewal: Nature Domain now triples the healing bonus instead of just doubling it, but limits the healing to a creature equal to the base amount.
  • Buff: Cleansing Strike now costs 2 Ki Points instead of 3.
  • Buff: Sacred Presence: Light Domain now grants a permanent damage reduction of 3, rather than just when the effect is active.
  • Buff: Soul of Faith, Prayer of Renewal, and Cleansing Strike have had their Level requirements removed (so they can now be learned as early as 4th Level, instead of 5th Level).

  TIME MAGE

  Spell List
  • Added Black Blade of Disaster, Mirage

  TRICKSTER

  General
  • Slight Clarification: Added wording on Trick Shot that may allow the Trickster to ignore Disadvantage on ranged attack rolls targeting Prone.
  • Added Options: Added an optional variant that allows Tricksters to use Intelligence as their ability modifier for spellcasting and other class features, instead of Charisma, at their DM's discretion. This represents the Trickster relying more on their tactical intellect, rather than their personality flair or force of will.
  Mastermind
  • Buff: Agitate now locks the Confusion condition and the Prone condition. Prone is 'locked' in a different way, forcing the creature to use all of their movement if they want to get up from Prone next turn.

  WHITE MAGE

  Spell List
  • Added Inflict Wounds

April — May 2022

General

• Two Weapon Fighting

  The art of two weapon fighting is restrictive to action economy, and while good at early levels, can easily fall off. A few tweaks have been made to bring it up to par with other fighting styles.

  Two Weapon Fighting Style
  • You can now draw or stow two weapons when you could normally do so with one.
  • Now grants an option to use two weapon fighting with a non-light weapon in your main hand, and a dagger in your off-hand.

  • When taking the Attack action, creatures no longer need a bonus action to attack with their off-hand.
  • Grants the player ambidextrous ability, allowing them to choose which hand is their main-hand when performing the Attack action.

  Feats

  Racial Feats

  • Increases your Strength or Constitution score by 1.

Kinetic Deflection now grants both buffs to AC and Saving Throws for the turn, rather than you choosing one.

  GEOMANCER

  General

  Some buffs were given to Wild Shape, to make it not only have utility, but also some combat prowess as well. Also, some of the unique Geomancy spells were a little on the weaker side, so they have been buffed. The intent is for these spells to be stronger than standard 3rd-Level spells because of the restriction and special nature of the spells to harness the environment.

Upper Hand now has a very brief Stun. Swift Justice now ignores Protect, and now no other creature can use their reaction for the rest of the turn.
  • Clarified that causing a creature to fall under your Judgment does not count as a hostile action in Judgment Blade.

  • Gave them the ability to specialise in a particular school of magick. This is chosen in the Path of Power feature, and affects the features learned at Levels 2, 6, 10, and 20. Arcane is all about the study of raw magicks, and many of the features here protect against spells. Debilitation focuses on incapacitating enemies.

  DRAGOON

  General

  Added a minor thematic trait to draconic discipline, to make Dragoons a bit more identifiable. Also, I've buffed Jump by making the weapon attack upon descent as part of the free action, allowing Dragoons to follow this up with another action, or Attack.

  • Draconic Discipline now specifies that the Dragoon's eyes change colour at 5th Level to match their Draconic Discipline. Further, they can make their eyes glow, similar to the Thaumaturgy cantrip.
  • Jump has been reworded to be a bit clearer to show that you can perform the special descent free action whenever you're airborne – not just being airborne from Jump. This free action now contains a weapon attack as part of it.
  • The maximum damage from an attack while descending is now 15d6, up from 10d6.
  • The threshholds for the different Jump calculations have been altered so that it increases faster near the earlier levels, and it is now dependent on your Level rather than being a fixed constant addition on top of your STR modifier.

  • Chaos Thrust has had its wording updated to have a similar frequency of triggering damage to other magickal AoEs. Furthermore, the Level restriction has been reduced to Level 9 from Level 10.

  • Reis' Wind now grants temporary HP as well as the Regen status, to give incentive to use this skill during combat, rather than as an out of combat healing skill.

  General

  • The Level Restriction for Ricochet is now Level 7, down from Level 9.

Also, a restriction has been placed so that after using this feature, you can't use it again until after you finish a long rest, similar to the restriction on the Arcanist feature.
  • The Jack of all Trades feature has been moved from Level 1 to Level 3 to mitigate against players dipping just one level into Red Mage to gain this feature.
  Spell List
  • Added Asylum, Spell Shield, Thunderwave.

May 2020

General

• Items

  Firearms

  The power balance of Firearms have been slightly on the stronger end. They have been tuned down to bring them in line with the power level of the Longbow, except they have longer range and are generally not Heavy. I also wanted a few more firearm options than the three that were available. In summary, Firearms usually deal more burst damage than a Longbow (especially at lower DEX scores), but end up dealing about similar average damage overall.

  • Added Blunderbuss, which is a short-ranged AoE gun.
  • Added Rifle, which is a long-ranged heavy damaging gun, that has Disadvantage at shorter distances.
  • Revolver now has 6 shots instead of 4. The damage dice has been reduced from a d12 to a d10.

  Tough / Durable
  • The Durable Feat has been combined with the Tough Feat to make it feel more powerful, however the increase of the CON score by 1 has been removed.

  Races

  There has been a formatting update to the races that have the ability to innately cast spells, for ease of reading. Further, some minor changes were made to some of the spells to increase the thematic feel.

  Bangaa
  • The spells for the Sanga Bangaa can now be cast without requiring material components.
  Garif
  • The spells for the Garif High Chief can now be cast without requiring verbal or material components.
  Nu Mou
  • The spells for all of the Nu Mou subraces can now be cast without requiring any spellcasting components.

  Viera
  • The spells for the Feol Viera can now be cast without requiring any somatic or material components.

Further, you can use this now after the hit is confirmed, forcing a Disadvantage reroll, instead of proactively using this to force a Disadvantage roll.
  Aerial Ace
  • Crippling Impact no longer has the option to knock creatures Prone, as Jump already does this with a STR saving throw, and the skill itself feels loaded as a Tier 1 skill. The movement speed reduction has been changed to 4m. Further, the saving throws have been removed and it is now dependent on the failed save from the initial Jump feature - this just prevents the passive from being clunky and applying too many rolls.
  • Dragon's Descent no longer has a cost to use. Given that Dragoons already reduce fall damage by half, wanted to give more incentive on picking up this skill.
  • Spirit Jump now restores 4 Dragon Points on a successful hit instead of 3, to increase the reward given the penalty on failing (expending a DP and unable to use it again.
  • Soul Jump upgrade now restores 6 Dragon Points on a successful hit increased from 4, and if you miss the attack as you descend, you still regain 4 Dragon Points.
  • Swift Jump now has the added effect of allowing you to move horizontally by a number of metres equal to your speed when you Jump. This buff hopefully brings it in line more with the power of High Jump.
  • Super Jump has had its cost reduced from 5 DP to 4 DP.
  Dragon Soul
  • Dragon Fang now can be used a number of times equal to your STR modifier, instead of its uses being dependent on your Dragoon Level.
  Dragonspeaker
  • Dragon Mind has been buffed to last for 10 minutes. This increase in duration helps it out in the situations that it was meant for - out of combat utility.
  • Ancient Focus has been clarified, so that the imbuing to an ally is more clear, and is now worded in such a way that you remain concentrating on it, so you can still end it to regain Dragon Points.
  • Primal Spark has been buffed to apply to the next ability in the next minute instead of the next turn, because the risk was too high for the reward it gave.

  FUSILIER

  Spellshot

  • Spellshot attacks have been removed as a general concept within this tree (except for Ricochet, which still uses it). This is to maintain the thematic that as you shoot from your gun, it's still primarily your DEX score that is being used to determine hit chance and damage. Therefore, all shot skills now read, make a ranged weapon attack.
  • Ricochet and Overload now replenish uses on a short or long rest, instead of just on a long rest.
  • Ricochet no longer attacks with Disadvantage.

  KNIGHT

  General

  • The Interception Fighting Style option was added. This Fighting Style is a protective one, which allows you to shield some damage from nearby allies by taking a portion of it on yourself.
  • The Protection Fighting Style has been slightly revamped and improved. You are now able to protect a creature up to 4m away, moving to it if you are not already within 2m. Further, you can use this now after the hit is confirmed, forcing a Disadvantage reroll, instead of proactively using this to force a Disadvantage roll.
  • A new Fighting Style Mastery, Fearless Sacrifice, has been added to match the Interception Fighting Style.
  • The second Fighting Style is now chosen at Level 11, and a new Level 15 skill, Combat Superiority has been added, which allows Knights to make the most of Advantage, and mitigate the effects of Disadvantage.
  Knight Training
  • The Energy Spike upgrade of Action Surge has been replaced with Inspiring Surge, which spurs an ally to attack as you activate Action Surge.

  PALADIN

  General

  • The Interception Fighting Style option was added. This Fighting Style is a protective one, which allows you to shield some damage from nearby allies by taking a portion of it on yourself.
  • The Protection Fighting Style has been slightly revamped and improved. You are now able to protect a creature up to 4m away, moving to it if you are not already within 2m. Further, you can use this now after the hit is confirmed, forcing a Disadvantage reroll, instead of proactively using this to force a Disadvantage roll.

  RANGER

  Archery

  • The points requirement for Trueshot has gone up from 2 to 3.
  • The requirements for Supersonic have been removed.
  Hunter
  • Nature's Cloak has had its duration increased to 10 minutes up from 1 minute, to improve utility. However, it now replenishes on a long rest instead of a short rest, and the number of uses is now dependent on your WIS modifier. Further, the Invisibility is suspended when you take damage as well.

  SAMURAI

  General

  • The Power Strike Fighting Style was replaced with the Interception Fighting Style. This Fighting Style is a protective one, which allows you to shield some damage from nearby allies by taking a portion of it on yourself.
  Sword Saint
  • Sacred Presence is getting a small buff, because of the penalty of being suspended after performing a hostile action.
    • You now have Advantage on ALL Saving Throws, not just against spells and magickal effects.
    • If your Divine Conduit is Light, then the active effect now reduces ALL damage by 3, rather than just reducing magickal damage by 6.

  TRICKSTER

  Mastermind

  • Magick Evade was too strong in its current state with its low Level restriction, and catch-all in making the Trickster resistant to all magick. It has been nerfed both in its restrictions and the scope of the spell, excluding some of the physical saves to represent that those areas are not the normal Trickster training.
    • The restrictions have increased from Level 6, to Level 8 and 3 points in Mastermind.
    • Now includes magickal effects in the description, not just hostile spells.
    • Only grants Advantage on DEX, INT, WIS, or CHA saves, rather than all saves.

March 2020

General

• Feats

  Blade Master

  Small buffs to bring this in line with other feats, but also clarifications to include obscure blades.

  • Increased the types of weapons that this works with (e.g. katanas, gunblades, etc.)
  • The parrying stance can now be triggered using either a bonus action or a reaction (rather than just a reaction), and it now gives a +2 bonus to your AC.
  Charger
  • The movement condition has been increased from 4m to 6m in a straight line, and the bonus has increased as a result (+10 damage instead of +5; 6m push instead of 4m).
  Elemental Adept
  • Instead of just ignoring resistance, you now treat their resistance stage as though it were 1 less.
  Pike Master

  There wasn't much incentive using Pike Master over something like Polearm Master. These buffs bring it closer to this feat.

  • The increase to the pike's reach is now passively applied, rather than given when you use a bonus action.
  • The special attack is now made with Advantage if it triggers.
  Shield Master

  Shield Master, unlike Great Weapon Master, Sharpshooter, Sentinel, etc. is not iconic enough. These changes should hopefully bring it up to this level, and is a Feat that could dictate a character creation, rather than the other way around (someone creating a shield character and maybe thinking of picking up this feat).

  • Clarified that you can only take the bonus action after "completing" the Attack action, rather than just taking the Attack action. Also added another condition upon which you could trigger this bonus action (moving 6m in a straight line towards a creature).
  • You can now use the reaction against AoE DEX saving throws to receive half damage if you fail the save (similar to Evasion).

  PALADIN

  General

  • Divine Smite has been moved from the Ethereal Control skill tree, and instead is now a passive feature that all Paladins get. This is to balance Paladins with the fact that Rangers get multiple instances of Favoured Enemy, as well as giving making an iconic Paladin ability common to all Paladins.

It provides a strong heal to weaker allies, with the added bonus of granting Reraise. If you selflessly use it on another creature, it also affects you.

• DRAGOON

  Dragon Soul

• KNIGHT

  General

  • Knights now gain an extra Ability Score Improvement at Level 14.

• PALADIN

  Conquest

  • Invincible Conqueror has been nerfed. Now, it only provides resistance for SLASH, BLUNT, and PIERCE damage instead of all damage, and the extra weapon attack is taken when you use a bonus action.
  Ethereal Control
  • Divine Smite can now only be used once per turn, and its damage has been capped at 6d8 damage.
  • The healing and the damage of Undying Sentinel has been standardised to 4d6, instead of having separate amounts.
  • Righteous Rebuke now triggers against spells cast against allies. The usage restriction has been removed, and there is no longer any WIS save for the damage, but it has been reduced to 1d8 + CHA modifier damage, instead of dealing damage equal to the damage that was dealt. The Level restriction has been increased to 6.
  Templar Arts

  The tree has been slightly revamped. Made clear distinctions between the anti-mage side of the tree, and the support and protection side of the tree.

  • Magick Disruption, Negative Pulse (because Holy Smite serves a similar function), and Counterspell (because this has been moved to a spell) have been removed.
  • Aura of Protection and Aura of the Guardian have had their passive aura range increases removed.
  • Holy Smite has been reworked to be only one saving throw. The stunning effect has been removed, but creatures now take damage if they are spellcasters, and creatures are knocked Prone.
  • Aura of Courage has been added, being an aura spell that makes allies immune to Fear and gives you Advantage against Fear.
  • Spirit Guardian has been added, which imparts a portion of your spirit onto an ally, extending your auras from them and granting them an offensive or defensive bonus.
  • Powerful Presence has been added, and increases the range of all auras to 10m.

• SAMURAI

  Sword Saint

  • The effect of Swords to Plowshares is clarified to be a Charm effect for the purposes of calculating Immunity or Resistance to it.

• TIME MAGE

  General

  • Fixed a typo in Physimancy Adept.
  • Spell Flux has been simplified and now grants a bonus when concentration is lost on a spell.
  • The Time ability of Advanced Physimancy has been replaced with Foreknowledge, because the other ability was too complex. Foreknowledge thematically gives the Time Mage glimpses into the future, mechanically allowing them to override dice rolls.
  • The Force ability of Advanced Physimancy no longer penalises you by removing the ability to use bonus actions, but instead prevents you from using Kinetic Deflection next round.

• TRICKSTER

  Speechcraft

  • Stall has been clarified so that you can't Stall and already "stalled" spell.
  • Condemn has had its subsequent ability contest to be a CHA ability contest.
  • Beguile has been given the same treatment as Condemn, now allowing allies to contest the charm via a CHA ability contest.

November 2019

General

  Ritual Casting

  • Several other ritual spells have been added. In addition, only specific classes can cast spells as rituals, namely: Arcanists, Bards, Black Mages, Geomancers, Time Mages, and White Mages.
  Spellcasting Focus
  • Certain classes have had a clause added regarding the ability to use a spellcasting focus, namely: Arcanists, Bards, Black Mages, Geomancers, Paladins, Red Mages, Time Mages, and White Mages. A spellcasting focus can be used to replace the material component of the spell, provided that the material component does not have a gp requirement.

  Updated Spells

  Bind (OLD: Stun)

  • A material component of a small, straight piece of iron has been added.

Classes

• ARCANIST, BLACK MAGE, RED MAGE

  General

  • In order to fit more with the lore of the class, these INT mages have all of their spells known stored in a Spellbook. It is from this Spellbook that they are able to prepare different spells after each long rest by memorising the gestures and formulae. This Spellbook is also how they learn new spells, by levelling up, or by copying new spells into their Spellbook through other Spellbooks, or scrolls.

  GEOMANCER

  General

  • Removed the Spells Known column from the table.
  • Geomancers, similar to White Mages, now know their entire spell list, and can prepare new spells after each long rest by spending some time in meditation, attuning to the powers of nature.

  PALADIN

  General

  • Removed the Spells Known column from the table.
  • Paladins, similar to White Mages, now know their entire spell list, and can prepare new spells after each long rest by spending some time in meditation, either in prayer to their deity, or in focusing on the principles of their Paladin Order.

September 2019

General

• Items

  Potions

  • The healing dice used for all healing potions has been reduced to a d4.

    Potions are healing too much, given the change I made to allow consumption of potions on self as a bonus action.

  • Mana Potion costs have increased from 50/400/2,000/6,500gp to 100/800/5,000/15,000gp.
  • Buffed the spell slots regained from 2/1d4+2/2d4+2/4d4+2 to 2/1d4+3/2d4+4/4d4+5.

    Mana potions are a great way to restore MP. I did not take into account their exponential scaling, as not only is their spell slots regained increasing, but the max spell level restored is powerful once you start restoring 6th level and beyond. The cost for such an item has been increased to show how hard it is to obtain it.

Magick

• General

  Feats

  • Removed the Throwing Master feat.

  New Spells

  Absolute Zero

  • Classes: Black Mage
  • 9th Level
  • The most powerful Aqua school spell, creating a massive surge of water that rushes outward before freezing temperatures dangerously low and creating a localised blizzard.

    With this, the trio of 9th Level elemental spells is complete. Now, we have Meteor as the powerful instant spell of devastation; the spell Tempest, which takes a lot of time to ramp up, but is the most powerful of them all; and Whiteout, which is a mix of the two.

  Astral Projection
  • Classes: Arcanist, White Mage
  • 9th Level
  • A spell that allows travel to the Astral Plane.
  Dispelga
  • Classes: Arcanist, Bard, Black Mage, Red Mage, Time Mage, White Mage
  • 5th Level
  • A spell that allows you to dispel multiple weaker affects at once.
  Symbol
  • Classes: Arcanist, Bard, White Mage
  • 7th Level
  • A more powerful version of the Glyph of Warding spell.
  Tetra Prism
  • Classes: Black Mage
  • 9th Level
  • A powerful wall spell that combines multiple elements.
  Trine
  • Classes: Arcanist, Black Mage
  • 8th Level
  • A spell that traps a creature within a prison of lightning.
  Wish
  • Classes: Arcanist
  • 9th Level
  • The most powerful spell in existence, that allows the user to bend the fabric of reality and shape it to their own desires.

  Updated Spells

  Aeroga

  • The damage has been increased from 6d10 to 7d10.
  Ardour
  • Changed the School from Arcane to Primal
  • Black Mages can now learn this spell.
  Blizzaga
  • The damage has been increased from 4d6 to 6d6.
  • The timing of the damage has been clarified.
  Decoy
  • Changed the School from Radiant to Illusion
  • Arcanists, Bards, and Time Mages can now learn this spell.

  Dispel
  • Changed the School from Radiant to Arcane
  Firaga
  • The damage has been increased from 4d6 to 5d6.
  Flare
  • Changed the School from Storm to Primal
  • The spell has now become a FIRE damage spell. It has retained its damage accumulating properties.
  Foresight
  • No longer grants its benefits while the target is Incapacitated.

    This allows for more counterplay, as well as makes more sense.

  Glyph of Warding
  • Changed the School from Radiant to Synergy
  Holyra
  • The damage has been reduced from 7d6 to 6d6.

    This is to reduce the damage output of White Mages slightly, in comparison to other 3rd level spells from Black Mages.

  Project Image
  • Changed the School from Radiant to Illusion
  • Arcanists and Time Mages can now learn this spell.
  Quicken
  • Quicken has had its range reduced from 30m to 20m.
  • Quicken now Incapacitates the target for 1 round after the spell ends.

    Quicken is looking too powerful as is right now, so added another penalty to the creature targeted.

  Stonega
  • The damage has been increased from 5d4 to 7d4.
  • The timing of the damage has been clarified.
  Tempest
  • Buffed the lightning strikes to reoccur every two rounds after the initial strike.
  Tetra Disaster
  • Updated the Blue effect to include WATER damage. The overall damage has been reduced in exchange for a 50% chance to cause someone to become Brittle for one round.
  Thundaga
  • Creatures now take damage upon attempting to leave or enter the field.
  • The timing of the damage has been clarified.
  Ultima
  • There was an error in the text. A creature can only be revived after being killed by Ultima by the means of a Resurrection spell.
  • Given the huge AoE disintegration effect, the damage has been reduced to bring it more in line, keeping Black Mages as the ones with the highest AoE damage. Damage reduced from 40d8 to 30d6. Self damage reduced from 10d6 to 8d6.
  Waterga
  • The damage has been increased from 4d6 to 6d6.
  • The timing of the damage has been clarified.

Classes

• ASSASSIN

  Tempest

  • Increasing Momentum has had some rewording.
    • Removed the clause that removes Increasing Momentum stacks if you miss a weapon attack.
    • Updated the third point to read "... that does not include a weapon attack, a dash, or a teleport;"

    Now that Blink has been reworded so that it isn't a teleport, the wording on Increasing Momentum has been changed.

  • Blitzkrieg has had a slight buff.
    • You now have the option to take one extra bonus action instead of the extra action, but similarly, you cannot use this bonus action to cast a spell.

    To accommodate for when you upgrade Blink to a bonus action.

  • Shadow Trespass (old: Traversal) has had a rework.
    • You are no longer able to teleport if the weapon does not hit a creature. Now, as you hit a creature and teleport, you draw forth shadow essence from the creature's shadow, granting combat bonuses.
    • The combat bonuses are: The target has Disadvantage on attack rolls against you while you are within 2m, and you have Advantage on Attacks of Opportunity against it.
    • The Level restriction has been increased to Level 5.

    The utility that Traversal afforded by allowing a 20m teleport was extremely high, given that it was a low-rank Tier 2 ability. The teleport utility was mainly intended for Blink, and Traversal was supposed to be a means for engage. Thus, the ability has been reworked to accomodate this. In compensation, combat buffs were given to the ability when you use it.

  • Throwing Master (old: Forceful Throw) has been buffed.
    • It now doubles the long range of thrown weapon attacks, on top of doubling the short range.
    • Clarified that Throwing Master now only works on finesse, thrown weapons.
    • Buffed the last clause to include the ability to instantly make another thrown weapon attack as part of the same action.
    • Added a Level restriction of Level 7.

    Now that Traversal no longer has teleport utility, the nerf on the range buff of Forceful Throw has been reverted. Further, it now has the ability to make more thrown weapon attacks.

  • Shadow Recall has had a buff, and a restriction added to it.
    • Weapons can now be recalled from up to 40m away, instead of 20m away.
    • Added a clause that indicates the restriction on weapons being recalled to you: Weapons can be recalled beyond barriers, but 60cm of rock, 5cm of metal, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. Further, you cannot recall your weapons in areas where teleportation or planar travel is prevented.

    Increasing the range allows for more interesting maneuvers on an open battlefield, and is necessary given the Forceful Throw range buff. However, because of this, restrictions have been added.

  • Shadow Threading has had a buff.
    • Creatures can receive multiple stacks of Sap if they get hit by multiple threads (up to a maximum of 3 stacks of Sap per instance.

    Right now, there isn't much incentive to think about the use of Shadow Threading and getting people to be hit by multiple threads. This small buff should fix that.

  Subterfuge
  • Blink has had its text clarified to indicate that it is simply really fast movement, and thus creatures can still make attacks of opportunity just before they blink.
  • Evasion now has a clause that indicates that the effect is suspended while they are Incapacitated.
  Duelling
  • Insult to Injury (old: Cutting Barbs) has been reworked. Instead of sending a creature's DEX and WIS modifier instantly to +0, you can reduce it for each weapon attack you hit, to a minimum of -1. Because of this, the Level restriction has been reduced from Level 9 to Level 6.
  • Eye for Weakness has been buffed. The Sneak Attack bonus damage has increased from 2d6 to 3d6.
  • Riposte has been buffed.
    • Clarified that you require a melee finesse weapon to use it.
    • It now adds a bonus 1d4 AC to one attack after you know the roll. It maintains the effect that allows you to attack if the attack misses.
    • Included potential interaction with the feat, Defensive Duelist.

    Without a way to increase AC, Riposte is unlikely to be activated, given the mid-level AC of an Assassin. This helps the duelist out with this.

  Ninjutsu
  • Added a clause at the top of the class which indicates when Ki Points replenish.
  • Frenetic Fighting no longer has a limit to the amount of uses.
  • The self damage from Forbidden Jutsu: Shukuchi no longer forces you to make a Concentration check.

• GEOMANCER

  General

  • Increased the amount of Spells Known for Geomancers near the later levels. Total increased from 18 to 20.
  • The specialised Geomancer spells have all had options added to cast them at higher levels for increased effect.
  • Shapeshifter has been slightly changed. This allows your Elemental Shape to expend only one use of your Wild Shape, as well as clarifying that you can cast your Geomancer spells while you are transformed while using Wild Shape of Geomancer. The ability to cast spells without verbal or somatic components are restricted to your Wild or Elemental Shape abilities.

• KNIGHT

  Spellblade

  • Spell Charge typo has been fixed and is now correctly reading that it takes 1 minute to perform, rather than 1 action.
  • Arcane Charge has been reworked. Instead of granting a teleport bonus when you use Action Surge, you gain a teleport bonus while wielding a weapon that has spell charges stored in it as per the Spell Charge ability.
  • Mist Cloak text has been simplified, now that there is an Etherealness spell.
  • Phase Burst (old: Decloaking Blast) has had its damage buffed from 4d6 to 5d6, and is now a CHA save instead of a CON save.
  Ancient Arts
  • Heart Render ability text has been clarified.
  • The increased push distance on Furycircle has been swapped with the Stun effect in Ragecircle. The increased push distance has been reduced from 20m to 10m. The Level Restriction of Ragecircle has been increased from Level 4 to 6, and a point restriction of 3 points has been introduced.
  • The increased pull distance on Ripcircle has been swapped with the Stun effect in Rendcircle. The normal pull distance has been increased from 6m to 10m. The damage in Rendcircle has been reduced from 3d10 to 2d10. The Level Restriction of Rendcircle has been increased from Level 4 to 6, and a point restriction of 3 points has been introduced.
  • Furyripper now knocks targets Prone on a failed save as well, and has had its Level Restriction increased to Level 9 from Level 8.

• MONK

  General

  • Revamped the Shadow Arts skill tree into the Path of Duality skill tree, which now focuses on both light and darkness.
  • Buffed Perfect Self with the ability to cast the new spell, Astral Projection, on yourself without material components.
  Martial Arts
  • Evasion now has a clause that indicates that the effect is suspended while they are Incapacitated.
  Path of Duality (old: Shadow Arts)
  • Removed Aura of Darkness, Opportunistic Strike, Crippling Strike, Improved Sensing, and Empty Body.
  • Shadow Adept has been changed to Dual Adept, which grants the ability to cast some light spells now.
  • Sensing retains its old effect, and improved when the Monk reaches Level 12 to an effect similar to the old Improved Sensing ability.
  • Added Sun Bolt, Scorching Arc Strike, Searing Sunburst, Solar Flare, and Shield of Sun and Moon.
  Drunken Fist
  • Added

• PALADIN

  Ethereal Control

  • Sacred Weapon has been reworked slightly.
    • The duration has been increased from 10 minutes to 1 hour.
    • The ability has had its number of uses reduced from CHA modifier every long rest, to once every long rest.
  • Divine Shield, Holy Aegis have been nerfed.
    • It no longer protects against the Pulse spell.
    • Instead of a flat bonus 5 AC for the round, affected creatures gain 5 bonus AC for the turn, and thereafter, gain a bonus +2 AC until the start of your next turn.

    This ability on a Paladin is problematic because of how incredibly tanky they naturally are. However, I still want to keep the feeling of being incredibly protected. Thus, the +5 AC has been kept initially, and it has been reduced during subsequent turns to allow for some chance for other creatures to get through as the shield weakly lingers.

  • Deflection has been nerfed.
    • The push back against missed melee attack rolls has been reduced from 6m to 2m.
    • The reflected ranged attack now clarifies that you still have to make an attack roll against them to see if the reflected attack hits.
  • Righteous Rebuke has been buffed.
    • The damage has been increased by adding your CHA modifier now.
  • Purity of Spirit has been nerfed.
    • Instead of being protected against all listed creatures, you now choose one type, and can change this during a short or long rest.
    • The types have been expanded to include Celestials and Fey.
  • Undying Sentinel has been buffed.
    • You now heal 4d6 HP upon this effect triggering.

    This gives you a small buffer of health after you've been brought low to 1 HP, and so won't necessarily instantly die at the next hit.

  Templar Arts
  • Aura of Protection has had a nerf.
    • A Level restriction of Level 4 has been added.
    • The user now only received half of the aura buff, instead of receiving the full buff.

    Aura of Protection is an extremely strong ability that scales into late game. Adding a Level restriction prevents any classes dipping a couple of points into Paladin to get this. Halving the aura buff on the user emphasises the strength of the skill is in buffing the saving throws of nearby allies.

  • Anti-magick Zone (old: Anti-magick Field) has had a nerf.
    • It no longer requires concentration, however the duration has been cut from 1 minute, to 1 round (the end of your next turn).

    Given that we now have the Anti-magick Field spell as an 8th Level spell, the previous state of this upgrade was way too overpowered, especially considering the multiple uses per long rest. It has been appropriately toned down.

  • Holy Smite has had a buff.
    • Instead of silencing a creature on a failed WIS save, they now are unable to cast any spells and cease concentration on any magickal effect.

    This buff was to help differentiate it from Negative Pulse. Now, it's anti-magick effects will pierce through creatures who are resistant or immune to Silence.

• RANGER

  Archery

  • Sonicboom no longer has a limited number of uses, and instead has Recharge 5-6. The +5 bonus damage has been removed. The DC is now set based on your DEX modifier.
  • Siphoning Shot now deals an extra 3 damage to each subsequent target, down from 5 extra damage to each subsequent target. It still has the same max damage.

  Right now, there doesn't really feel like there's an "epic" ability in the Archery skill tree; just a whole bunch of decent abilities. This change hopes to make Sonicboom the iconic ability of high-rank archers, by allowing them to use it multiple times in a fight. Because of the increased frequency, the damage output has been reduced, but the Siphoning Shot max bonus damage is still the same. It is good against hitting at least two targets, and even greater when hitting more.

• SAMURAI

  Sword Saint

  • Godsend - Swift Justice has had a buff. Now clarifies that the attack ignores all forms of resistance, including immunity and absorption. Includes piercing through the Immune condition. Added a buff whereupon the target cannot use Reactions until the start of their next turn.

• TIME MAGE

  General

  • The spell progression has been changed. Now, Time Mages don't prepare spells, and instead just know them.
  • Spatial Shift has had a nerf. The uses now replenish on a long rest, instead of a short or long rest.
  • Kinetic Deflection has had a buff. The bonus to AC / saving throws lasts until the end of the turn, instead of for the one attack roll / saving throw. Also, the magickal bolts from the upgrade at Level 18 can now be directed at a single target (at reduced damage), rather than spread.
  • Master of Reality now allows creatures to remain trapped within the demiplane. Added a clause that allows you to create a door to another creature's demiplane, provided that you know that nature and contents.

August 2019

Classes

• BARBARIAN (old: BERSERKER)

  General

  • Revamped.
  • Renamed Barbarian to be more general. Berserker has now become one of the skill tree names.
  • Brutality and Savagery weren't distinct enough in identity, so both skill trees were revamped, with some skills being moved around/removed/added, and the skill trees themselves renamed to provide more clear distinction.
  Berserker
  • Retaliation has been slightly nerfed so that you only have Advantage on the melee weapon attack if the creature hit you.
  • Air Render only increases reach now, rather than attacking all creatures within a line.
  • Furore has been renamed Whirlwind Attack for clarity. Has been reworded to take into account the interaction with Air Render.
  Reaver
  • Aura of Pain has been moved here, instead of being a passive skill that Barbarian's gain upon levelling up.
  • Blood Frenzy now gives bonuses to damage, rather than critical hit chance. There is a threshhold at 75% health now.
  • Fervour has been reworked. It now is a reaction, rather than a passive, The trigger is the same (whenever a hostile creature dies, or when an ally performs a critical hit). The effect is now to gain the effects of Haste until the end of your next turn.
  • Scream has had its added effect clarified with specific conditions.
  • Scenting Blood has been buffed, having a range of 20m now instead of 10m, and has a speed increase of +6m instead of +4m.
  Predator (old: Survival)
  • Multiple skills have been renamed to match the new thematic of this skill tree.
  • Raw Intuition has been reworked and clarified for the rules of flanking, because we don't use facing rules.
  Viking
  • Added.

• DRAGOON

  General

  • Jump has been buffed. The attack on descend now deals extra damage for every 3m you descend, instead of 6m. The minimum Jump distance is now 3m instead of 6m. The speed restriction on moving while descending has been removed.

    Jump damage is lackluster, given that you spend two actions to trigger it. This will ramp the speed at which the jump damage increases to bring the damage more in line with where it should be.

  Dragonspeaker
  • General. The second range of all of the Dragonspeaker abilities has been doubled.

    Right now, Dragonspeaker can't make the most of jumping high if they want to use their buffing skills. This change helps them to keep jumping high and able to use their support skills (there will still be need for controlled jumping if you unlock the High Jump passive in Aerial Ace).

• KNIGHT

  Defender

  • Warding Maneuver has been buffed, now allowing for a number of uses equal to your CON modifier.
  • Greater Warding has been changed to Shield to Sword. This new upgrade gives bonus damage to the target's next attack equal to half of the bonus AC.
  • Enduring Ward has been buffed, now granting the extra resistance whether or not the attack hit.
  • Ferocious Charge has had its Level requirement increased to Level 6.
  • Fortress has had its Level requirement increased to Level 14.

• SAMURAI

  Sword Saint

  • Godsend has had its reaction trigger reworded to be on hit instead of on damage.

    So that you can respond to effects such as the Shield spell, as intended.

  • Cleansing Strike Trickery bonus now includes Immune.

May 2019

Magick

• General

  Half-caster Update

  • All half casters (Trickster, Paladin, and Ranger), have had their skill progression buffed. They now gain a maximum of 16 skills rather than 14. This mainly affects the latter part of their levelling (i.e. from Level 11 onwards), in comparison to the old way.

  • Misdirection
    • Damage reduction changed from Gambit Dice + your Trickster Level + your CHA modifier to half of your Trickster Level (rounded down) + your DEX modifier + your CHA modifier.
    • Because this ability is no longer limited by the Gambit Dice resource, the limitation is now a usage of a number of times equal to your DEX modifier + your CHA modifier (minimum once) and this replenishes every long rest.
  • Counterscheme
    • Added as an upgrade to Misdirection.
    • Increases the range to 4m, and adds a secondary reaction trigger to redirect spells for which you succeeded the saving throw.
  • Agitate
    • Buffed to recharge on 4-6 rather than 5-6.
  • Coup de Grâce
    • Level requirement increased to Level 5 from Level 4, because that's when you learn Traumatize.

    • Added.
    • An ability that allows the Trickster to increase the Initiative of all allies within range, thus allowing for a powerful counterattack.

  Shadowspell
  • Reworked this skill tree so that there is a clear focus on buffing spells, as well as harnessing negative energy.

  • Mage Hand Expert
    • At Level 12, you now get the effects of the removed ability, Versatile Trickster.
  • Magickal Ambush
    • Now requires Level 6.
    • Added that this also works with Sinister Impulses.
  • Nightmare
    • Requirements have been removed (used to be Level 4, but would have been at Level 4 to get this skill anyway).
  • Twincast
    • Added.
    • A passive ability that allows Tricksters to augment single target spells that don't deal damage to target an extra creature.

  • A spell that allows travel to the Border Ethereal.
  Friends
  • Classes: Arcanist, Bard, Red Mage
  • Cantrip
  • A cantrip that augments the ability of your social interaction, at the cost of potentially making the target hostile.

Classes

• ASSASSIN

  Tempest

  • Forceful Throw
  • It was too trivial for Assassin's who took Forceful Throw to apply Sneak Attack (because the skill gave them Advantage on all Thrown attacks within the weapon's short range). Therefore, this part of the ability was removed, and replaced with another effect. Further, the doubling of the long range was removed, as that allowed for a frequent long-range teleport.
  • The doubled range now only applies to the short range.
  • Second bullet point no longer gives Advantage. Instead, if the thrown attack is made against a target within its short range, on hit, you can force the dagger to embed itself into the creature and deal an extra +1 damage.

  • Added one paragraph onto the Dragoon blurb at the start.

  Dragonspeaker
  • Added.

  PALADIN

  General

  • New Skill Tree: Conquest

  RANGER

  General

  • New Skill Tree: Planeswalker
  • Natural Explorer has had the combat benefits removed, because the skill already has a lot going for it, and because all the other half-casters don't gain a passive class skill at Level 3.
  Archery
  • Clarified that the abilities in this skill tree require the use of a bow.
  • Aim
    • Targeting changed to Sight rather than Self.
    • This change reflects how you are aiming on a target rather than just focusing yourself. This means that there's risk involved in using this skill if the target of Aim dies or vanishes.
  • Siphoning Shot
    • Included an upgrade to the AoE: the length of the Line increases by 20m.
    • The pre-requisites have increased, now requiring 5 points in Archery and Level 10, from just requiring Level 9.

January 2019

  • Updated to include Arcanist, Black Mage, and White Mage as classes who learn this spell.

Classes

• BERSERKER

  Brutality

  • Removed Improved Critical, to limit the amount of increases to critical chance for Berserker.
  • Added "Ferocious Guard", an upgrade to the Reckless Attack skill that allows you to gain temporary HP equal to your CON modifier when you use Reckless Attack while raging. This temporary HP is removed when your rage ends.

  DRAGOON

  Combat Training

  • Improved Critical Level restriction increased from Level 3 to Level 9.
  Dragon Soul
  • Dragon Breath and Ferocious Breath
    • This skill was far too strong at a large AoE at such a cheap cost, especially considering that this is a WARRIOR type class; don't want to steal away from what should be mainly for Black Mages, etc. So, I've decided that the thing to nerf would be the cost of this skill (after playtesting, it's actually really easy for Dragoon to regain dragon points) and the damage dice. This skill will still be a good choice when the Dragoon is faced with multiple enemies, especially after getting the upgrades.
    • Cost increased from 1 dragon point to 2 dragon points.
    • As a consequence of the above change, a level restriction of Level 2 has been placed on the skill (as you only have access to two dragon points when you are a Level 2 Dragoon).
    • The damage dice has changed from d12 to d8. Thus, the damage has been reduced from 2d12 to 2d8. The Ferocious Breath upgrade adds an extra 1d8 (instead of 1d12) passively, and allows for an extra 1d8 damage (instead of 1d12) by spending an extra dragon point.
  • Heightened Breath
    • There was an information discrepancy in the upgrade Heightened Breath. The summary bar showed Line (4m wide, 16m long), whereas the details showed Line (4m wide, 24m long). Updated both to reflect the correct AoE, which is Line (4m wide, 18m long).

  GEOMANCER

  General

  • Added as a new class.

  SAMURAI

  Bushido

  • Clarified that Bushido can only be used during the heat of battle.

  • Sanctify
    • Turn the Undead and its upgrade, Sanctify, have been merged into one skill.
    • It seemed like a very niche thing to get the upgrade. Also, this skill must be gotten in order to get into the other skills. So, because of its situational use (even if undead are a "common" type of enemy to control), I wanted to make it powerful when it does get used, destroying entire swathes of undead.
  • Sacred Weapon
    • Removed the upgrade, because it didn't seem to fit with the effect.
    • Now lasts for 10 minutes. Once activated, the effect can be turned on and off as a bonus action.
    • Being disarmed or knocked unconscious doesn't completely remove the effect. Instead, it supresses the effect until you reactivate it.
    • By changing it to last for 10 minutes, the utility of yielding light can be used for much longer, while also mitigating the 1 action ability time, because now people can use it before entering an area they know to be filled with hostile creatures.
  • Righteous Rebuke
    • Buffed it to be more powerful.
    • Is now a reaction that you can use to cause a nearby creature to take holy damage equal to the damage it inflicted to you or an ally.
    • Can only be used twice every short or long rest.
    • I was unhappy with how minor this effect was; you just get the passive and you always deal damage. Now, it becomes a much more pwoerful reactive ability, and you can feel the power of rebuking someone with indignation.
  • Divine Veil
    • New skill added to compensate for the Turn the Undead merge.
    • Grants allies a bonus +2 AC and Resistance to all damage for 1 round after you heal or cleanse them.
    • This gives Paladins a nice bonus to healing allies. While not as powerful of healers as White Mages, this highlights their supportive capabilities.
  • Undying Sentinel
    • New skill added to replace the loss of Hallowed Binding.
    • Gives Paladins an auto-revival, and immunity to Instant KO and magickal ageing.
    • I wanted to create a capstone ability that is of similar power to the Templar's Counterspell and Annulment. With this, Paladins who heavily invest in this tree feel the power of seeing how divine energy infuses them.
  • Purity of Spirit
    • Now requires Level 9 as a prerequisite, instead of Level 7.
  Ethereal Control
  • Spell Purge
    • Reverted the nerf: now automatically dispels spells of 3rd level and lower.
    • After getting a chance to see a bit more of it in action, I think this would be more balanced this way, considering the long rest recharge nature of this ability.

    • Nerfed the amount of usages to be half of (1 + CHA modifier) (rounded down; minimum 1) from CHA modifier. But, now replenishes on short rests.
    • Is now able to be used to warp unwilling creatures to a non-ground area.
    • Clarified that when used on a willing creature, if the target teleports to an occupied location, they take 4d6 FORCE damage.
  • Timeless Body
    • A new passive skill that Time Mage's learn at Level 18.
    • Your body ceases to physically age and you no longer require food or water for sustenance.
  • Chronos Adept
    • Buffed it so that they no longer receive the penalties of the Quicken effect, as well as being able to cast spells during this time.

• WHITE MAGE

  General

  • Serenity
    • Moved to level 14.
  • Master of Healing
    • Moved to level 18.
  • Channel Divinity

    • Saving Throw Proficiencies changed from CON, INT to CON, CHA.

6/09/2018

General

• Conditions

  • Confusion had its table altered slightly.
  • Silence now prevents concentration.
  • Regen clarified so that it’s clear that it doesn’t take effect if the creature is at 0 HP and unstable.

Magick

• New spell: REGENERATE
  Classes that learn this spell: Bard, White Mage
  7th Level spell

• BLITZ

  • Damage has been converted to SONIC damage, and now deafens creatures on a failed save.

• BLIZZARA

  • Damage per beam of ice is now reduced from 2d12 to 2d10 damage.
  • This is to prevent the spell from scaling too well as you cast it at higher levels. It still does respectable damage to a single target. You wouldn’t really use it for AoE damage, but rather for its potential soft CC and the fact that it doesn’t affect the environment as much spells like Fira.

• DRAIN TOUCH

  • Now upon taking damage, a creature must succeed on a CON saving throw, or else lose maximum HP equal to the damage they took until they complete a long rest.

• DRAIN / DRAIN TOUCH

  • Now upon taking damage, a creature must succeed on a CON saving throw, or else lose maximum HP equal to the damage they took until they complete a long rest.

  • Saving throw changed to a CON save.

Classes

• ASSASSIN

  Subterfuge
  • In a Flash
    • Reverted the nerf to In a Flash. Now changes the Ability Time to 1 bonus action, and the range upgrade has been reduced to 4m (total: 10m). However, a level requirement of Level 11 has been imposed to get this skill. This way, only skilled Assassins can do the Blink --> Attack combo.
  • Into the Shadows
    • Added a restriction. Requires: 2 points in Subterfuge. This is to slightly hinder “dipping” into the Assassin class simply to have a teleport and an Invisibility. Now requires more investment.

2/09/2018

General

• Dragoon

  • Added as a new class.
  • The Dragoon is a warrior style class that focuses on its specialty to be extremely good in the air and the iconic Jump ability. They also devote themselves to learning a particular dragon and attain some of their powerful traits.

  • Celestial is now mainly spoken by Angels rather than Elementals.

  • Frozen has been renamed to Brittle, to better reflect the status condition. Brittle creatures can now speak falteringly.
  • Instant KO now leaves the failed Death Saving Throw permanently on the creature, until it dies or finishes a long rest.
  • Regen has been changed. It used to heal a flat 2 HP at the end of a creature’s turns. Now it heals HP equal to the creature’s Level (or twice it’s CR), provided that it ended its turn with less than half of its maximum HP.

  • Completely reworked to have more utility.

15/08/2018

General

• Red Mage

  • Added as a new class.
  • The Red Mage is a generalist. They can cast a huge variety of spells and can even wield weapons well to some degree. However, they are not as specialised in either of these areas. What they are well-known for, however, is their ability to cast multiple spells in seconds.
  Damage Types
  • Added some new damage types to better reflect reality.
  • PSYCHIC – Spells linked to illusion or skills dealing piercing damage to the mind deal this type of damage.
  • ACID – Inserted because there is a difference between acid and poison damage, and creatures that might be susceptible to the acid from the Acid Rain spell, might not be affected by the poison damage from a poisoned arrow (e.g. skeleton).

  • All confusion based spells have been changed from an INT saving throw to a WIS saving throw.

Magick

• FREEZE

  • AoE changed from Line (6m wide, 40m long) to Cone (20m).
  • Reworded one of the effects for clarification. Used to be “A creature killed by this spell becomes Frozen until it thaws,” and now reads “A creature brought to 0 HP by this spell becomes Frozen until it thaws.”

• PULSERA

  • AoE reduced from Cone (20m) to Cone (12m).
  • Damage changed from 4d10 (22 average) to 6d8 (27 average).
  • Damage increase at higher levels changed to 1d8 from 1d10.
  • Added effect: All creatures within 6m of you make this saving throw with Disadvantage as they have to dodge a higher concentration of the bolts.

Classes

• ASSASSIN

  Subterfuge
  • In a Flash
    • No longer reduces the ability time to 1 bonus action, but instead, the range upgrade has been buffed to +10m.

• KNIGHT

  General
  • Because spellcasting is no longer innate, but instead requires you to go down the Spellblade tree, Knights now gain a skill point every level.

    • Changed how they lost spell slots to be more in line with the skill Heart Render in the Biskmatar skill tree of Knight.

  • Because of the introduction of feats, Sentinel (Level 15) has been removed as a passive ability and has been replaced with Unbreakable Will.
  Mystic Arts
  • Marksman's Spite
    • Diamond Soul has been replaced by Life Sense, to not copy the Monk skill and also slightly nerf the defensive capabilities of the Samurai.

• TRICKSTER

  General
  • Changed the skill progression so that every level, the class either gains at least 1 of the following: new skill, new passive class ability, new spell slot level.
