Changelog - August 31st, 2021 Version BETA 2.25q "Risk."
Rule Changes:
Updated Section 1: Character Story & Creation
- Added the following rule: - Generally, paladins may not follow evil deities. However if the setting of origin explicitly supports such a concept, an application for an exception may be submitted to the DM Team for review.
This change is not retroactive, so existing characters do not need to submit an application. However, it applies to new characters as of now.
Updated Section 2: Character Progression
- Shortened and streamlined the character creation rules.
- Updated the prestige class and multiclassing rules to account for the recent changes. Please note the following changes:
- Monks can only multiclass with the following classes: Assassin, Blackguard, Divine Champion, Dwarven Defender, Shadowdancer, and Weapon Master.
- Paladins who multiclass can no longer progress as paladins and lose all paladin abilities, except when multiclassing with the following classes: Divine Champion, Dwarven Defender, and People's Champion.
- All prestige classes are available, except Harper Scout and Purple Dragon Knight. Dragon Disciple can only be taken by outlander characters (e.g. non-native) from settings that support it, whereas Hallowed Witch is only available to native characters.
- The following prestige classes require an application: Assassin, Blackguard, Dragon Disciple, Hallowed Witch, Pale Master, People’s Champion, Shadowdancer, and Shifter. The application form can be found on the forums.
