1.10.0

Major Mesmerist, Napalm, and Zealot revisions. Ghost changes to mirror tech action effects instead of sharing heat/conditions. Torrent’s Ultra feature gets reworked to always be Two Torrents.

NPC Classes

Ghost

Quantum Bond

• Rework the effect to instead mirror the effects of hostile Tech Actions upon both bonded targets instead of all heat and/or conditions. Both the Ghost and its bond still take 1 Heat each when the bond uses the Phase Shift protocol.
  • Shared Heat makes Self-Heat effects incredibly difficult for the Ghost to manage. This will keep the two mechs’ heat caps more independent while still sharing heat and conditions specifically from Tech Attacks.

Paradox State

• Add 1 Heat as a consequence for the bonded character upon successfully avoiding an attack with Intangible.

Kensei

Disarming Retaliation

• Limit disarm to non-integrated weapons.

Mesmerist

Mesmerist Tactics

• Lightly truncated for space.

Codespike Rapier

• Increase Heat on-hit from 1 to 2.
• Change on-hit effect to no longer Jam on Overwatch, but instead recharge one Mesmerist System or Trait.

Napalm

Napalm Stats

• Reduce HP from 13/17/21 to 13/16/19.
• Reduce Evasion from 8/9/10 to 7/8/9.

Salamander Thermobaric Catapult

• Reduced inflicted Heat from 3 to 2.
• Incorporated save vs. Slowed directly into the weapon’s effect.

Adhesive Gel

• BREAKING: Removed, incorporated directly into the Salamander Thermobaric Catapult.

Heat Haze

• Changed from Napalm gaining Soft Cover while in the Danger Zone to the Napalm gaining Soft Cover against characters in the Danger Zone.

Insulated

• New Trait! Napalm gains Immunity to Burn.

Corrosive Gel

• Reworded to tie to the Slowed effect on Salamander Thermobaric Catapult instead of Adhesive Gel.

Firefly Drone

• Reworked to fly around, creating trails of fire with similar effect (but shorter duration) to Incendiary Grenade.

Incendiary Grenade

• Move damage trigger from start of turn to end of turn. Remove save, it just works!

Long-Burn Catalyst

• Remove Danger Zone requirement.

Skyburner (Ultra)

• Add requirement for the Napalm to be in the Danger Zone in order to draw two lines.

Occultist

Jealous Flock

• Lightly reword to clarify that the trait affects adjacent characters.

Torrent

Split the Sea

• Rework to simply start with a copy of itself that it divides actions and movement between.

Zealot

Zeal

• Remove Overshield granted by Zeal.

Fanatical Charge

• Limit characters affected to the Zealot and up to one ally.
• Grant all characters affected Overshield 2/3/4.
• Allow all affected characters to move 5 spaces as a reaction, regardless of their speed.

Rally the Righteous

• Affected allies may additionally move up to 5 spaces as a reaction while ignoring difficult terrain, engagement, and reactions.
• Increase Recharge from 5 to 6.

Templates

Anomaly

¡@;!EXTR?UDE KNIFE

• Flip the sign on the attack bonus from +9999 to -9999.
  • +9999 ensures an automatic crit in most circumstances, which is rife for abuse with on-crit effects like Deadly. This removes a potential avenue for abuse.
