Beta Update 2

Hey, it's been awhile since I posted one of these update. Most of my time has been taken up with some unexpected health issues, but the best part of my day is still getting to work on games and so I try to find time for it no matter what. Quick TL;DR for the curious, and then patch notes. As with the previous Beta release files available on discord. Unlike the previous beta files have also been uploaded to itch and can be found at the end of this post and on the main page.

Tl;DR

• Minor changes and additions to some ancestries based on play testing and feedback. One last thing I would like to add are some example names for each ancestry because I always like when games include them. 
• Masterwork Armor has been fully reworked. Previous version was fine but uninteresting to players. New version gives players a chance to customize their armor.
• New enemy format! This comes with skills and unique rewards for each enemy type. 

That's the major changes. Patch Notes are below for more details. As far as the project itself there is something I'm fairly excited to announce about the art for Inversion, but I'd like to have a few example to show off first before I make that announcement. If nothing goes wrong however, then I might have a second blog post before the end of the year.

Anyway, patch notes below!

Patch Notes

• Various random spelling/grammar fixes
• Pathfinder background reworked: grants 3 success initiative once per rest

• Remnants are now size Medium. Their description has been updated to account for this.
