Update! Spells!!!!

Hi all so as we mentioned before we moved to working on the spells update, which is now done and available for you all to access.

So what has changed and what is left to be done?

For spellcasters we have done a second pass on spells, checking wording, balancing numbers, applying the new stat block template to summons and adding the empower system.

The empower system is an option to give characters a chance to apply enhanced magic in exchange for a little risk. Before casting the spell you can choose to empower it, this requires a Focus Skill Roll against a TG set by the Circle of the spell and what empower level you are casting it at. If successful you can cast spells for less AP or with more powerful effects, on a failure you can receive damage, your resources are expended, and there is a chance to mishap for explosive effects. The goal here was to give spellcasting more of a feel where the result is always guaranteed while making it an opt into system so players who do not want to take the risk do not have to.

You can also see some text concerning the psionics equivalent system called Psychic Bleed, though the powers have yet to be updated to make use of this system. So that in concert with the Psion Class Playbook will be the next major updates you see though I do not expect them to be released in January. Hopefully February or March.

So with this sudden update I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and hopefully we can see more cool stuff happen next year!
