Hi All,
We have been working diligently on updating the rules based on the playtest as well as finalizing the remaining elements of the system. As of today we have published everything except:
Land Plots - Expect this system to be completed by the end of January
Traps - Somehow this got overlooked, we will have this done by the end of January as well
As always, please post rules questions to the Rules Forum, and remember one question per post to make curating questions easier.
Wounds & Healing
Treat Wound effect changed, clarified healing from Treat Wounds. This has had a trickle-down effect on a number of skills noted below. This change should help streamline the healing system as well as provide a synergy between the major healing skills so that having healers of multiple types adds value.
Skill: Artificing
Skill is live. The list of items is a starting list, there are many formula to be discovered in game.
Skill: Mad Science
Skill is live. The list of items is a starting list, there are many blueprints to be discovered in game.
Attributes:
Cognition - Clarified the Flash of Brilliance ability
Stamina - Updated "Ain’t got time to bleed" due to changes with the Treat Wound effect
Effect: Accelerate Healing
Has been removed from the game, replace with Treat Wound by Accelerate Healing
Effect: Arcane
Modifier added to effects list. Effect cannot be stopped by protectives or defenses
Effect: Bolts
We received some feedback from the playtest that "Bolt" was mistaken for "Hold". Currently we intend to keep the Bolt effect and believe that this issue will be reduced from exposure of play. In most cases when calling a Hold, it should be HOOOOOOOLD. You should never throw a Lightning BOOOOOOOLT to prevent confusion 😉
Effect: Brief Duration
Brief Duration is 10 seconds, if no duration is used in the tagline it is assumed to be Brief.
Effect: Charm
Attacks by the charmer will not cancel a Charm effect, however the target should react appropriately to the person attacking them. How would you act if your best friend tried to hit you with an axe?

Endless Bolts moved deeper into the various mystic paths.
