Part of me is just filled with dread.

Part of me is just filled with dread.

Just one part?

I didn’t say how BIG that part was.

I'm glad Mem took the lead on this one. I was already scheming on finding an inappropriate image of Judge "Dread" doing unspeakables...

Nice update. I don't like some of the changes for some of my gimped toons, but overall it's a BIG step in the right direction.

Hope it all plays out as well live as it does on paper.

[Ganak]

Those are some long release notes...

Lots of good stuff!

[Khalibano]

Release notes says Warlock capstone "stays at 20% sacred bonus". It was not a sacred bonus before. Is this a typo?
If is was changed to sacred, will it stack with the competence bonus from EDF? Secretly hoping it does

[HastyPudding]

I guess alchemist spells are now affected by spell resistance/spell penetration? Darn, was hoping that wasn't the case. Lucky druids and artificers....

[LeoLionxxx]

Rally: replaced with Critical Mastery +1/2/3
Exalted Cleave: Reduced to 1 rank at 2AP (with third rank's effects)

NEW: Multiselector: Ranged attack version.
Melee/Ranged Power Boost: Unchanged
MOVED: Multiselector: AB Attack

The bullet points on this block are indented incorrectly: the Melee/ranged boost and AB attack should be on their own level one left.

[SerPounce]

Really looking forward to the banking improvements! Sound and fury about balance stuff aside, that might be the biggest change for most players here, and definitely for the better.

[Khalibano]

Will the Accelerate Spell feature be included in the Alchemist feat list (and artificer feat list too)?

Vile Chemist, Core 3 only mentions "doublestrike".

Are you intentionally leaving out doubleshot from this core or is this is typo?

Thanks.

[MistaMagic]

Obviously any current Heroic Completionist will de-activate until a Alchemist past life has been done. Will we be getting a token of some kind like in previous instances where a feat has been de-activated

release notes say that the default is you only can strikethrough while standing still...pretty sure that Coco said it was changed to no longer need the two handed fighting feat to strikethrough while moving.

Correct, this requirement was removed. Looks like there are a handful of typos and issues based on feedback here, will track it all down and sort it out tomorrow.

[zolrathe]

thanks Cordovan for the quick reply. typos and whatnot are expected with a release(notes) of this magnitude. just wanted to make sure. i appreciate all the hard work put in by everyone at SSG
