February, Week 2 Announcements

WindStrike · (This post was last modified: 06-10-2016, 06:48 AM by Sephiroth.)

This week, we've got a grand total of 5 sessions again... hopefully they'll all actually happen, instead of 2 of them getting cancelled. There's also a number of things on the changelog this week. FYI, it's still not quite ready, but expect a visit to Hyrule Market with next week's announcement, and expect some awesome stuff, primarily for Fire and Arcane users.

Changelog

Summary

Below is a quick list of the changes:

The Hookshot now specifies what surfaces it hooks to.
The Shovel has been rewritten completely. As it is a tool, it scales with the user's affinity levels.
The Bombchu has been rewritten as well. It now gives you the option to go for weak points at the cost of making your original attack do nothing.
Magic Leech is no longer a Critical Hit Skill.
Critical Hit Skills now state that they don't count towards your Passive Skill cap, but you can only have one of them.
Mechanic has been rewritten. It now costs Magic instead of currency, and it has the potential to remove Afflictions and heal the target.
Too Manly returns, now as a Passive Skill. It's powerful, but it's only for manly men!
Claymore now has Slice and Stab.
Ember Seeds now require Fire affinity and are now considered Weapons.
Gale Seeds now require Nature affinity.
Pegasus Seeds have been rewritten. They're more useful in battle, and they specify what they do outside of battle too.
Suppresive Flames' has a different effect. Before, it dealt burn damage based on Magic Costs, but that overlapped with Fire Beam. Now it reduces successes based on Magic Cost.
Fireballs no longer have a Magic Cost.
Nova Shield's defending dice have been increased.

Below are the full changes. Please check through them and see if anything in your profiles need to be updated.
