Mechanic Changes:

• New mechanic: Passive Stealth Detection:
  • Follows the general rules of stealth detection except it is performed at the start of combat, the turn a player enters stealth, and on the opposition's turns.
  • The passive stealth detection rating is (10 + stealth detection bonuses) and is performed against the enemy's stealth rolls. In the case of a tie, the stealthed player wins.
  • Does not count as an action.
  • Unless declared otherwise, all mobs have a passive stealth detection rating of 9.
  • Note: It is still possible for an entity to actively detect stealth, but this takes up the post action and follows the general rules of stealth detection.
• Running Away:
  • If a player leaves both the combat and the thread, they are unable to participate in the same combat (i.e. fight) even if they rejoined the thread.

Charge Clarification:

• Under the current wording, Charge can be used outside of the first turn of combat since, depending on the players' narratives, using the Charge skill is still possible. This is because the only restrictions on the skills are that Charge can only be used once per opponent per combat and that it must be possible via roleplay.

Enhancement Changes:

• Blight:
  • Removed proc from natural, successful attack rolls of 8-10 from two slots of the enhancement.

  • Removed rank 4 (+1 turn of DoT) and rank 5 upgrades (+1 DMG).
  • Mod: Vanish

    • Damage bonus by attacking from stealth changed from +2 Damage to (+3 * Tier) Damage.

• Shadowed Path (Unique Skills):

  • Allows the user to buy and use Hiding mods.
  • Cannot be detected with Passive Stealth Detection.
  • User can choose from one of the two bonuses when attacking out of stealth and using the Shadowed Path sword arts:

    • User's DoT status effects deals (5 * Rank)% more damage for the first two turns of the effect.

  • Effect (Listed here since Unique Skills are not in the Resource List):
    Spoiler

Quest Changes:

• Quest Revamp: «The Hidden Village»
  • Cave Bats HP reduced from 1250 HP to 1000 HP.
  • Cave Bats Evasion reduced from 3 Evasion to 2 Evasion.
  • Clarification: Under the current wording, the quest spawns Cave Bats in groups of two with a number of groups equal to the number of players. This means that you are able to fight the bats in groups of two (i.e. the minimum number of Cave Bats you can fight per combat is two). As such, it is not necessary fight the maximum number (i.e. four) of Cave Bats each combat, but you do need to fight a number of Cave Bat groups equivalent to the players in the thread.
