Project Update: Playtest #7 - Wyrmech

Good Morning Ionnians! The Wyrmech Playtest Packet is out now! See the information below:

Content
  • 1 Boss CR 8
  • 5 Standard CR 3s
  • 2 Material Gathering Tables
  • 8 Materials
  • 9 Magic Items

Rules Updates
  • Phase Action Dots now represent Half Movements, allowing GMs to sacrifice a half movement for a Phase Resistance, Minor Dodge, or Disengage. 
    • This means full movements are 2 Phase Actions - allowing you to disengage for a half movement.
Universal Phase Actions Went ahead and adjusted some of the Universal Phase Actions. 
  • Minor Dash: This is a name we are now giving for the Half Movement, which you can make by taking a Phase Action. We may change this back to Half Movement.
  • Minor Dodge: A new Phase Action - this acts like a Dodge, but only works on the next attack roll made against the Phase Combatant. If no attack is made, it ends on the next Phase Turn.
  • Disengage: You can now Disengage as a Phase Action.
  • Phase Resistance:  We've included Phase Resistance as part of this list since we're experimenting with it being activated as an action and not at the end of the turn anymore. See below.
Phase Resistance 
We are currently experimenting with Phase Resistance! While the current version is fine, I feel there are some opportunities to find something better and more engaging. 
  • Phase Resistance can only be activated by using a Phase Action. It no longer activates at the end of a Phase Turn.
  • Phase Resistance does not automatically remove 1 Condition inflicted without a saving throw.
  • You can use Phase Resistance even if you're incapacitated, meaning paralyzed/stunned creatures can now attempt to break out of that effect.
CONTENT WARNINGS 
  • Civil Force Violence


 Enjoy! This playtest will close December 20th, 2024.
