Changelog

Introduction#

• Updated the rules for engineers regarding this book.
• Codified critical saves as a baseline rule. However, saves can not natively crit; instead, this creates keywords that can be cited by features, customization options, and enhanced items.

• Added rules regarding multiple armor materials.
• Updated the durafiber armor material to reduce strength number, or add lightweight, in conjunction with the agile property change.

• Magnetic armor property updated to a check instead of a save.
• Obscured property can now be applied to shields.
