V1.13.0: The New Year Update

Public Update V1.13.0: The New Year Update

BEACON CHARACTER SHEET

• Added tooltip text to status/conditions
• Added Hub and Hub upgrades to Narrative Play sheet.

NARATIVE PLAY

• Skill Checks: Added that you can willingly fail.

• SKILL CHALLENGES
  • Sway: Unprepared enemies updated to allow you to decide NPC deployment. Turncoat pulls an NPC from the enemy side onto yours. Misinformation allows you to change reinforcement zone positions.

COMBAT PLAY

• THE ACTIONS
  • Action resolution updated to indicate that checks/saves are rolled first. Order still remains the same, effects from other characters first, then you. Updated wording overall.
  • Removed CAST, rolled into VOLLEY. [There doesn’t need to be a specific cast action. Volley is basically your ranged attack action, and fight is your melee one, regardless of whether using a weapon or spell.]
  • RUSH: Option b updated to also ignore Engagement. [With the new HIDE/HIDDEN rules, HIDE would basically get you the benefits of the disengage unless you were adjacent, which meant it was almost always better to use. This lets the disengage option still be useful.]
  • FULL ATTACK: Removed reference to cast.
  • READY: Removed reference to cast.
  • COUNTERATTACK: Removed reference to cast.
  • OPPORTUNITY ATTACK: Removed reference to cast.
  • INTERPOSE: Updated wording to reference shifting instead of moving. [Mostly a redundant change.]

• SURGE:
  • Added an Alternate Rules sidebar for different ways to handle surging.
  • Clarified that the surge cost happens at the start of a surge turn before anything else. This means that any Overstress penalties from surging don’t end at the end of the surge turn, since the turn has already begun.

COMBAT RULES

• Added section on abilities/effects with the same name not stacking.
• LINE OF SIGHT
  • Reworked LoS rules, should be simpler
  • Now draws from the edges of spaces to edges of spaces, instead of center.
• COVER
  • Updated cover rules.
  • Now drawn from edges instead of center. Removed referencing to shooting over or around cover. Now clarified that if possible, you can ignore adjacent cover of your size or smaller when determining LoS or Cover. [Using the edges of spaces mimics being able to aim around corners.]
• DAMAGE
  • Discord checks are at the end of each of the targets turns, not at the end of each turn. [Really important typo, I think folks were doing it correctly but this was a potentially big oversight.]
  • Resistance: Updated wording to clarify that you half the damage with resistance. Any remaining damage is rounded up.
  • Resistance to discord only applies to the upfront damage and stacks gained, not the end of turn damage.
• TAGS
  • Summon: Summons can’t create summons.

• MOVEMENT
• CONDITION AND STATUS
  • Flying: Updated wording, clarifying that they are considered larger than all terrain when determining LoS and cover.
  • Silenced: Added clause that you can’t release spells either.
  • Slowed: Added clause for interaction with bosses.
  • Stunned: Added clause for interaction with bosses.
  • HIDDEN: Updated wording.

• ATTACKS: Updated wording
• DANGEROUS TERRAIN: check is moved to end of turn, not start.
• WOUNDS and OVERSTRESS: Updated table. The Dazed range has been reduced by 1, and the broken results have been increased by 1 and split into their own categories to minimize rolling.
• RESTING
  • Short Rest: Also reload

ANCESTRY

• GNOME
  • Fade Away: Updated wording.
• KOBOLD
  • Evasive: Reworked, gives resistance to damage and stress from AOEs, and the accuracy on saves. 1/turn you can spend 1 focus to reroll a failed save.
• LYCANTHROPE
  • Sneaky Form: Updated formatting.
  • Travel Form: Updated wording, removed 1/round limitation.

CLASS

• AEGIS
  • Aetheric Cubes: Removed, replaced with Warding Wall

  • Offensive Shielding: cast to volley. MEM cost reduced to 1 from 2.
  • Perfect Shield: Clarified that lasts until end of phase.
  • Proximity Shield: Removed, replaced with Barrier
  • Ward: Only affects allies, not self. [This helps push the idea that the aegis itself is fragile, and doesn’t want to be getting damaged at all. Without the ability to ward themselves, using other defensive tools on themselves, like shields, becomes more important.]

• ALCHEMIST
  • Transmutation Circle: Reworked. Cast to volley.
  • Scorpion Gauntlet: On hit effect only triggers on enemies, and only regains 1 charge each hit. [Current consumable recovery rate was too high.]
  • Volatile Mixtures: Updated explosive concoction wording.
• ASSASSIN
  • Garrote: You can only garrote 1 person at a time, and a person can only be garroted by 1 person at a time. [This prevents knightmares from grappling a group and doing huge damage to them, garrote stacking, or teams of beacons equipping garrotes and all hitching a ride on a Gigan to deal simultaneous damage.]
• BERSERKER
  • Charge: Action changed to FULL ATTACK. Updated wording to allow a FIGHT or SHOVE action.

• CHRONOMANCER
  • Unwinding Beam: cast to volley. MEM reduced to 1.
