Extermination and The Slithering

The devs set off a bug bomb in the Wolflair this week! Roughly one hundred bugs have been located and exterminated, hopefully making the overall user experience much improved. Have a “favorite” bug you’ve been keeping an eye on? You can browse the long list of fixes below to see if it’s been eliminated!

Additionally, the  Extinction Curse Character Content package has been completed, adding the remaining items, spells, and more to the data package. Not enough? Take a trip to the Mwangi Expanse with all-new Character Content from The Slithering!

The Slithering

In the cosmopolitan trading city of Kibwe, at the edge of the Mwangi Expanse, innocent people struck by a terrible curse known as the slithering are melting into malevolent oozes. The heroes are at the epicenter of this slimy curse and might be the only ones capable of recovering the ancient magic required to break it. Tracking the course of the slithering through Kibwe’s colorful markets and shrines, the heroes must untangle the curse’s origin and discover the role the nefarious Aspis Consortium plays in the unfolding conspiracy. The mysteries the heroes uncover might usher in a new era of plenty and prosperity for Kibwe, if the heroes can survive the slithering to experience it. Journey into the Expanse with the following new additions to your campaign:

Come one, come all! Humble performers become leaders of the Circus of Wayward Wonders when tragedy strikes. But as these heroes lead their motley band of performers and roustabouts around the Isle of Kortos, they uncover a sinister plot to exterminate life from the Starstone Isle. The dead god Aroden may be gone, but his legacy lives on, as do his old enemies who would destroy the wonders he raised from the sea. Spectacle meets savagery as the heroes strive to stop the Extinction Curse!

Client Changes and Improvements

• PF2 – Melee and Ranged damages values for all attacks of their respective types can now be customized on NPCs.
• Campaigns – Inactive campaigns can no longer be opened, preventing invalid campaign access errors. Attempting to open an inactive campaign will redirect you to the campaigns list.
• Campaigns – Retired campaigns can now be recommissioned from the campaigns list.
• Campaigns – Tweaked the layout of the campaign overview.

Client Bug Fixes

• When adding money, experience, or other resources to a journal entry:
  • Fixed the input fields not clearing themselves after adding
  • Fixed the journal information not updating the display of the new amount of resources earned/spent on the entry.
• Fixed an issue with the input text color on the delete confirmation dialog being too dark to read on some themes.
• Removed the buttons for opening the campaign dice roll history and stage side views for characters that are not associated with a campaign.
• Fixed an issue where clicking the “Load Full Character” button on top of the side panel would open the stage side panel view for characters that are not on stage or associated with a campaign. Now it will stay on the character side panel view and (if possible) swap the characters in the main and side views, just like the “Load Full Character” button on the bottom of the side panel.
• PF1/PF2 – PFS characters can now add fractional amounts of XP through the journal.
• PF1 – Fixed the associated Faction input field not correctly reflecting the actual faction selected for that entry, instead displaying the selection for a different journal entry.
• PF1 – Fixed an issue where the size set in the customize menu would be ignored when creating equipment.
• PF1 – When selecting favored class bonuses for each class level, fixed the display of some of the option names not properly reflecting their effect (e.g. “Half-elf Cleric” instead of “1/4 CL to remove afflictions”
• Printing – Fixed the “Printing…” indicator text in the app header being too dark to read in all themes.
• Campaigns – Fixed an issue where the dice roller would always use the visibility option last selected for an NPC or “none” instead of the current selection.
• Campaigns – Fixed the issue with the summary textbox overlapping the overview textbox on the campaign overview page.
• Campaigns – Fixed an issue where trashed campaign PCs would stay available on the PC list until the page was manually refreshed.

Game Mechanics

• PF2 – Added spell adjustments to apply the effects of higher-level polymorph spells.
• PF2 – On a character who is currently in demo mode, and had enough XP earned through journals to increase their level by at least one, the starting level value on the My Classes tab would increase with every change made to the character, even if that change was unrelated to level or XP.

This control was not easily discoverable. Instead, the everstand shield stance feat now makes all shields count as two-handed items, so that if you also have a weapon equipped, an error will be reported that you are holding too many items, and the damage of shield bosses and shield spikes will always show the improvement from Everstand Stance while that feat is turned on.

• SF/PF1 – The description of Damage Reduction abilities has been expanded to include the full rules for this ability.

• SF – The Shuriken Assassin Operative exploit was not setting up carbonedge shuriken to be modified by Trick Attack when that ability was turned on.
• SF – The Shuriken Assassin Operative exploit was not setting up carbonedge shuriken to be available as melee weapons. Setting them as operative melee weapons also makes them eligible for triple attack and quad attack.
• SF – A biohacker’s weapon specialization was only adding 1/2 level as a specialization bonus to weapons that are injection, but are also basic melee weapons or small arms (such as injection spears). Only the weapons that biohackers are proficient in only through their Injection Expert ability use half specialty damage, the rest add the full biohacker level.
