Changelog

1.4

Witch

Bumped down to 2d6 on Hex

Combat Healing potions removed

1.31

Witch

Bumped to 2d8+2 on Hex

Gruumsh

Whoops! Lost a couple of secondary moves. They're replaced now. One is STR for saving throws, one is +1 to LG.

1.3 8/1

General updates to consistency, spelling, grammar, etc. have been undertaken. If you have any notecarded collections of such foibles, send them to Ultea.

"Supernatural Effect/Ability"

Some magic-looking moves are now described as "supernatural effect." This just means things that dispel or counter magic, like Dispel Magic, can't work against them.

Basic Moves

Brawl was further further clarified. You can absolutely never gain additional damage to Brawl from any source other than monk. Ever. Period.
Rituals were added as a move type.

Combat Basics

You can no longer stack damage mitigation or damage negating moves (e.g., armor mastery, desperate stunt). Only one per encounter!

Weapons

Some tags have been adjusted, and new ones have been added for melee. Some new ineffective weapons have been added, too. I wonder what all this is about!

General Rules

The general rules page has been changed. Take a look and get acquainted!

Quests and Dungeons

This has replaced Advanced Moves under Advanced Play. This has the new guidelines for the quests and dungeons we plan to roll out over the next week. It also has guidelines for...

Rituals!

Rituals have been added as a subtype to moves. Rituals must be done with a DM—check the Quests and Dungeons page under Advanced Play for more.

Races

Due to intended incoming spell changes, Humans have had Divine Diversity changed; it now only extends to cantrips, bringing it in line with Gnomes.

Classes

Classes with some considerable peak damage have had their capability lowered. To compensate, max armor is also being lowered. This is a bandaid as we work on more considered changes to improve each class's sense of identity and balance. All +damage moves have been locked to their native class—no more multiclassing for +2d4 damage.

Bard

+Armor locked to class.

Barbarian

Smash! is now locked to Barbarian. Many will no doubt consider this change smashing, in the British sense.
Appetites clarified: on a successful roll you still succeed, +WIS ST applies immediately afterward.
Samson can only be used without existing debilities.

Cleric

Cleric has had Guardian Spirit removed.
Word of recall and Skyrim's Soul Gems were removed; many powerful spells were made into rituals.

Commoner

No One of Importance has been given important clarification.

Fighter

Merciless has been removed—but gently.
The signature weapon upgrade moves now both give you "glows near X creature." I expect glowing reviews for this change.

Paladin

Smite has been smote.

Thief

Tricks of the Trade now requires tools of the trade.
Escape route has been made less abuseable.

Witch

Hex has been altered.
Healing Hex as well.
Third Eye removed.

Wizard

All that armor from Class/Advanced moves was reduced.
Clone and Skyrim's Soul Gems were removed here too; many powerful spells were made into rituals. No more enchanting 10000 iron daggers to raise your skill.

Compendium Classes

Just a couple of tweaks!

Acrobat

-1 ongoing from negating an attack now applies to everything. There's no such thing as a free dodge.

Monk

Biting tags removed from Monk's fists, max armor capped. You can still employ literal biting if you want, but your teeth don't do damage.

Domains

A lot of vestigial moves have been updated; OP moves have been changed.

Agriculture

Updated to reflect loss of old Turn Undead.

Air

Updated to reflect loss of old Turn Undead.

Compassion

Alternate Primary changed to Compassionate Conservation: save a friend from a bad ST. That's ST as in Saving Throws, not Street as in Wall Street. It's Compassionate Conservation, not Bernificial Brotherliness.

Corruption

You Didn't Hear That: Evil-I Am the Law replaced with even more dickish version of Charming.

Darkness

Shadowsight: More thematically appropriate Primary alternate, immunity to blindness. This also grants immunity to the Darkness spell; no need to attack it.

Death

Updated to reflect loss of old Turn Undead.
Death's Touch now ignores armor as a buff.

Duty

Updated to reflect loss of old Turn Undead.

Earth

Updated to reflect loss of old Turn Undead.

Fire

Updated to reflect loss of old man Turn Undead.

Goblinoid

Super Smash: It had a good long run, now it's +1 forward to H&S. If you feel this nerf makes it too wimpy, you are encouraged to list it as Thuper Thmash on your hud.

Hate

Animate Undead Lite loses Cause Fear, gains some stat buffs.

Law

Updated now that I Am the Law is no lawnger.

Light

Updated to reflect loss of old cat lady Turn Undead.

Moon

Moonglade now ignores armor rather than +1d8. It cuts Deep In the Pale Moonlight. Or any light.

Murder

Now +1 damage to Murder spells rather than +1 to cast. Murder harder, less often.

Peace

Benevolent properly noted as Free. If it's not free, it's hardly benevolent is it?

Predation

Claws now give a grit of 8, "Choosing" page's Level 9 spell now reflects "God" page.

Torture

Speaking of good long runs, Hurts So Good now buffs +CON STs, no more free damage negation.

Water

Updated to reflect loss of old Turn Undead.

1.24 7/25

Fighter:

Healthy Distrust changed

Paladin:

Hospitallier & Perfect Hospitallier now affect Lay on Hands

Domains:

Helm:

Lloth:

Discern Lies turned into Greater Cloak of Dark Power

Lolth's Sight given limitations in line of other scrying effects

1.23 7/24

Combat Basics:

Reverted the changes to self-casting & healing. It was an attempt, but the change did nothing but drag fights out and increased the already stocked arsenal of utility of Wizards and Clerics needlessly.

Racials:

First revision of racial move changes to make them more impactful.

Classes:

Witch:

Killing Curse turned into the baseline curse
Removed: Harmful Curse & Heart Stealer
Changed how Hex (formerly Harming Hex) works to make it a lot less complicated and easier to keep track of.

Changed Charming to be more open.

1.22 7/17

Paladin:

I Am the Law clarified. Language was messy. Now, it's not so messy. Because now, it's In, You Dogs and is the functional taunt it always should have been.

1.21 7/15

Combat Basics

Pre-Casting Spells/Bringing Magical Effects into Combat

You can gain the benefits of ONE magical effect (Shaman's Til Death Do Us Part/Help From Beyond, Wizard's Mirror Image spell, Druid's Harmony, or any Ongoing spell are examples) before fights start. If you had more effects active, you will have to decide which one you keep active.

This is a big one, folks. People coming into combat with ten spell effects active on themselves was becoming a bit of a problem. There are a few exceptions, which will be noted in spell descriptions (Cleric's Magic Weapon, for example).

Spells

You can now cast spells on yourself! This includes healing! Wizards can now make themselves Invisible, and so on and so forth.

Classes

Fighter:

Second Wind clarified.

Merciless made more open (no longer requires a Debility).

Ranger:

On My Marksman simplified, works with Volley and Hack and Slash now. So, if you want to hit stuff with melee as a Ranger, knock yourself out. It's more viable now.

Cleric:

Added Spirit Guardian to mirror Animate Dead, an option for goodly clerics to use a spell with basically the same effect. Good guys can hit stuff, too.

Devoted Healer nerfed a bit. You have to roll for your bonus now, a 1d4.

You'll notice a trend in this update: healing has been reduced, but you can also heal yourself now. With the right multiclassing, healing could easily start outpacing damage which is something we did not want.

Sanctuary changed, took out the 1d4 to rein in healing.

Guidance rote removed. I don't know how we missed this one, to be honest. A 0 mana cantrip that could be used in a way that was just as effective as Ranger's Sniff 'Em Out. There was no call for this. It was far too strong for what it was. Replaced with Mending, a rote that can have some interesting RP utility, particularly for tinkering.

Magic Weapon will NOT cost against the new rule for pre-casting.

Darkness was given a Saving Throw (no idea why it didn't have one) and can no longer entirely take wizards and other ranged casters entirely out of a fight, which was way too powerful for a level 3 spell with no chance to fail. It now prevents interrupts, still useful.

Paladin:

Paladin gets a nice rework here!

Hospitaller and Perfect Hospitaller clarified to only work with Cure Wounds spells. There was too much synergy with effects that should not have been compatible with the move.

Divine Favor moved from 6-10 to 2-5. You can also cast with CHA instead of WIS now!

Aura of Protection added! An iteration of a classic and familiar paladin move. Your allies will take +3 to their first Saving Throw attempts in combat!

Crushing Morale added as a Starter Move. Pretty neat utility here. Roll+CHA for holds and use them to give opponents -1 Forward 1 for 1.

My God is my Rock and my Bulwark added! A 6-10 move that buffs up Staunch Defender.

Shaman:

Til Death Do Us Part and Help From Beyond do now consider your Honored Ancestor choices properly.

Thief:

Connections was vague. It is now not vague.

Compendium Classes

Monk:

Out of Mind, Out of Body clarified.

Lucky Duck:

This One Amuses Me cut.

Domains

Though as far as I am aware, it was not explicitly stated before or given any guidelines, you CAN now switch Domains if you decide to abandon worship of your chosen deity. So that your move is not entirely wasted in this case, you may seek to find new religion. After a week (OOC), you can choose a Domain to replace the one you've abandoned.

Eldath:

Benevolent changed to a Free action, offering +1 Forward to your next Cure Wounds spell. A flat +1 to all Cure Wounds was a bit much and was worded in a way that it stacked with +1 Forward and +1 Ongoing, which was way too good for what it was.

Mass Cure Wounds capped at 3 potential allies, not an unlimited number. The average healing that was possible with this was a bit much.

Renew added as a level 5 spell.

Remove Curse moved to level 3.

Life's Foe added so those who worship peace might smite undead interlopers that sew discord.

Perfect Cure Moderate Wounds and Perfect Cure Critical Wounds cut. Again, healing was out of control. Sorry!

Ilmater:

Added Martyr as an option for the primary domain move for those that don't want to be monks.

Shar:

Added Walk Through the Darkest Valley as an option for the primary domain move for those that don't want to be monks but still worship this deity.

Kelemvor:

Death's Touch and Deathwatch clarified for the new rules to not count against your pre-casting limit.

Asgorath:

Resist Dragon Energy does not count towards your pre-cast limit.

Moradin:

Perfect Magic Weapon and Bear's Endurance do not count towards your pre-casting limit.

Kossuth:

Resist Energy does not count towards your pre-casting limit.

Gruumsh:

One Eye Always Open and Prayer do not count towards your pre-casting limit.

Yondalla:

Cat's Grace and Freedom of movement do not count towards your pre-casting limit.

Corellon:

Cat's Grace count towards your pre-casting limit.

Gargauth:

Incite Discord can now sever any sort of tethering between allies targets!

1.20 7/13

Classes

Thief:

Changed Backstab's 'vulnerable until the next turn' option to be in line with other definitions of vulnerable in the system. A minor correction on our part.

Medusa's Gaze changed to Balm of Lethargy, now imposing vulnerable with Second Fang as a free action instead of helpless. The ability to frontload damage and then make someone Helpless as a free action was too strong, as you could deal a ton of damage without their even having a chance to roll.

Slight clarification to Poisoner to prevent people going into combat with Serpent's Tear on both weapons.

Witch:

Poppet's vulnerable definition clarified in the same way as Backstab's.

Wizard/Cleric:

Clarified Prodigy/Master and Chosen One/Anointed, as the descriptions did not meet the intent that was behind them during the last change. My apologies on that. - Arena

1.19 7/8

Domains

Strategy:

Knight's Move altered and clarified.

Carnage:

Rage changed to buff Hack and Slash damage.

1.18 7/7

Classes

Cleric

Soul Trap changed a bit and clarified.

1.17 7/5

Classes

Monk:

A Little Extra Kick changed. The cleave kicks in on 12+ instead of 10+ and instead of making a separate damage roll, you now take half of the initial damage (rounded up).

Thief:

Clarified requirements of Alchemist (thanks to Whrek Nirvana for catching it) and Escape Plan.

1.16 7/3

No class changes this time around. We're getting closer to what we want in terms of class balance; we'll see if they hold up. If you notice any wonky mechanics, or frequently get in disagreements about the exact text of a move, feel free to contact a moderator or member of the staff so we can look at clarification of the move in the future. As the primary classes level out, we get closer to being able to start adding more fun stuff, including upcoming Uncommon and Rare character classes - these will likely be phased in slowly, with 1 or 2 active players getting temporary access to them as we adjust their balance.

Basic Moves:

Removed 'Lets Get It On': Fights are capped at 5v5 unless at a rental, because staff cannot continue to support large-scale PvP events. They tend to be disruptive to individuals not even involved in them, given the strict rules on when and why someone can join them. A side can only be larger than 5 members if they are the defending faction or group (by location; i.e. home turf).
Clarified Attaaaaack, Initiative Stone, and Join The Fray to support the changes above.
Brawl clarified as being a melee attack; not designed as a method for bypassing the melee protection on 'Run Away!' .. the intent being to force strength based characters to use other statistics in a fight on occassion, rather than min-maxing.
Switch It Up changed to an Interrupt or Standard move, allowing you to change weapons without skipping your turn in the event you need to shoot an arrow, or throw a rock at someone running away.

1.15 6/28

Classes

Wizard:

Counterspell changed to a Free action, so it can only be used once per encounter. The reasoning here is that there are simply too many options to negate/silence spells compared to the potential of negating non-spell damage. Some classes, not even all classes, typically have only one way to negate any damage already (spell damage included, like Armor Mastery) which cannot be multiclassed into. Stacking this on top of Counterspell, Elder Power, or Azuth's Nope! just gives too many options to take a caster entirely out of a fight.

Silence, You Fool now requires Counterspell as a prerequisite and has been clarified.

Shaman:

Elder Power changed to a Free action. Reasons listed above under the Counterspell change.

Thief:

Barista clarified.

Commoner:

Simpleton made Commoner only. Apprentice, Journeyman, and Be Somebody clarified.

Basic Moves:

Saving Throw clarified.

1.14 6/26

Classes:

Wizard:

Added some higher level spells! Project Image at level 5, Disintegrate at level 7, Meteor Storm, Clone and Seeming at level 9. True Seeing clarified. Soul Gem cut.

Cleric:

Cut and reworked some level 7 and 9 spells. Revelation moved to level 7 (because it was a more broad and somewhat better version of True Seeing which was already available at that level). True Seeing clarified. True Resurrection added (BALLIN'), Harm moved to level 9 and made a strong source of single target damage without any downside. Flame Strike added as a level 9 spell (you wanted Lightning Bolt back for Clerics and well, you got it. +1. But at level 9.) Greater Restoration added for all of your medicinal needs (use responsibly and under appropriate adult supervision).

Witch:

Added DM oversight to Thaumaturgy to allow for cooler items that can also be used by other people! Made the move similar to Wizard's Ritual.

Glossary:

Vulnerable clarified a little.

Domains:

Azuth's Command Magic changed to Greater Dispel Magic. Gruumsh's Produce Flame made a little less ridiculous after much prodding from a DM that shall not be named.

1.13 6/25

Classes:

Thief:

Second Fang clarified. A line added to Poisoner in reference to how many/which weapons can be poisoned before combat. Oil of Tagit (conditions of Sleep clarified)

Fighter:

A new Starter Move, Second Wind, has been added.

Signature Weapon has been changed to Weapon Master, as losing a fight and having your Signature Weapon stolen was too punishing.

Wizard:

Dominate clarified. Conditions of Sleep clarified.

Bard:

It Goes to Eleven clarified and moved to the 6-8 bracket. It was too strong for a move that could be taken at level 2, being an arguably better version of Dominate, a level 7 Wizard spell (no mana cost, cannot be negated by Counterspell, Azuth domain, or Silence, You Fool).

Equipment:

Biting tag clarified, as it formerly referred to only addings it damage to Hack&Slash. Altered to also function with Brawl.

Glossary:

'Slept' added as a condition to the glossary and clarified.

1.12 6/22

Classes:

Druid:

Druids can no longer shapeshift into or out of forms while wearing or handling steel or cold-iron bindings of any kind. The +3 bonus to 'Run Away' has been reduced to +2. This is to provide a method of controling druids behavior when captured without being required to murder them to stop them from escaping and causing havoc later.

Barbarian:

Samson move clarified.

Basic Moves:

Both Attaaaaaack! and Initiative Stone have been updated to reflect that PvP and combat events should not involve sides larger than 5 individuals per side.

1.11 6/21

Classes:

Thief

Moves Second Fang to starter move list on this second pass

Compendium Classes:

Updated requirements to be more clear about what they require and how to "level up."

Domains

Darkness Domain

Don't Attack My Darkness replaced with Black Eye Distributor, an in to Monk with no restrictions on killing, although you still lose it for wielding a weapon.

Added prohibition against torture and unnecessary injury to certain gods.

Races

Kobolds, Hobgoblins, and Tieflings now each have 2 racial moves.
- Kobobs got Yes Master, which gives +1 forward to fulfil the task of an intelligent magical monster
- Hobgobs got Contentious Camouflage, which gives them +1 to stealth Defy Danger in inclement weather/terrain
- Teefs got Hidden Horns, which gives a CHA bonus so long as no one nearby knows they're a Tiefling!
Hobgobs and Teefs also had some requirements expanded upon.

Religion

The final phase of the religion/clergy/domain system has rolled out! Every god page lists their offered domains at the bottom of the page, along with detailed instructions on what you get from choosing them. Clerics and Wizards get up to 5 spells and up to 1 special move. Non-Cler/Wiz get up to 2 spells and up to 3 special moves. This system is a bit more wonky, but ultimately much less work to regulate than the previous one, while still affording great variety and individuality to each clergy member.

To Do: More cleanup, revise Poisons, continue to make changes based upon feedback
