v0.0.74 Changelog

A new game is required for many of the changes to take effect!

New Content Added

A D&D style point buy system for character generation. This allows a lot more build variety than the previous system, as the player gets 30 points to allocate into their attributes, with increasing point costs as attributes are raised. REQUIRES A NEW GAME

Each of the classes start with a new special attack skill that’s normally locked behind a feat. These feats have been added to the feat menu. REQUIRES A NEW GAME

• The Wanderer starts with the basic “Rapid Strike” feat. 
  • No prerequisites. +1 extra attack, -4 attack bonus, and -2 armor class for 1 turn.
  • Requires a character level of 4. +1 extra attack, -3 attack bonus, and -1 armor class for 1 turn.
  • Requires a character level of 8. +1 extra attack, -2 attack bonus, and -0 armor class for 1 turn.

• The Street Warrior starts with the basic “Powerful Strike” feat. (this feat already existed but only had one version available)
  • No prerequisites. +3 damage and -3 attack bonus for 1 turn.
  • Requires a character level of 4. +6 damage and -6 attack bonus for 1 turn.
  • Requires a character level of 8. +10 damage and -10 attack bonus for 1 turn.

• The Techhead starts with the basic “Critical Strike” feat. 
  • No prerequisites. 19-20 Crits and -5 AC for 1 turn.
  • Requires a character level of 4. 18-20 Crits and -3 AC for 1 turn.
  • Requires a character level of 8. 17-20 Crits and -1 AC for 1 turn.

Added new “Called Shot” skills to pistols, sniper rifles, and assault rifles (which are the only weapons capable of a single shot). “Called Shots” are single shots aimed at specific body parts. What follows are the details of “Called Shots”.

• Head: Deals Double Damage, -6 Attack Bonus on the User for that turn.
• Body: +2 Attack Bonus, reduces crit threat range by -15% (which reduces 18-20 to 20-20) on the User for that turn.
• Arms: DC 15 Seals attack/cyberweapon skills for 3 turns.  -6 Attack Bonus on the User for that turn.
• Legs: DC 15 -2 AC, -4 Initiative for 3 turns. -3 Attack Bonus on the User for that turn.

Characters can now dual wield weapons from the start without requirements. When a player dual wields two weapons (restricted to pistols and small melee weapons), they receive a -6 attack bonus penalty. The penalty is removed when they stop dual wielding. The Two Weapon Fighting feat has been altered to reflect this new addition. REQUIRES A NEW GAME

Added a display of skill use roll vs DC check calculations to all security skill use situations.
