Preamble.
Good morning, evening, or night wherever you are, Starcalled. I'm sorry it's been since there's been any news, I was pretty burnt out on life, but got my much needed reset. Below are a few updates for the month of June!
Mastery & Expertise Changes
Magitech.
After much thinking and planning for future content, I believe it is best to re-introduce: Tinker. Tinker is simply more versatile and doesn't shoehorn players into a specific box, unlike Magitech.
Instead, Magitech is set to become an Expertise (that you can combine with Tinker for combat application). In addition, the Engineering expertise is getting retired since Tinker fills that mold perfectly.
Physical Masteries.
Guard Arts, Crush Weapons, Martial Arts, Pierce Weapons, Slash Weapons, Ranged Weapons will have the physical expertise built into them, so if there's ever an encounter or roll that asks for such rolls, you may use them in place of the expertise. It goes without saying that these innate physical expertise transfers to the real world as well.
Currently, stacking those expertise that you already would give you +2 per expertise and an advantage to said expertise roll at U-rank due to diminishing return.
Light Magic.
The name change is being reverted due to story reasons.
(NEW) Specialize.
This is a prototype new Alter that allows you to specialize in a single standard mastery for those who doesn't need anything else except Slash. The Alter specifically only allow you to use your main mastery in exchange for power ups. You lose versatility and gain amazing slashu. As a possible bonus... Specialist can get a special class title for maxing their build.
Production Expertise.
Expertise that produces things agriculture, tailoring, etc. will have a new weekly/every other week optional roll to produce flavor items or assess their skills or business. These expertise can contribute to site-wide world building roll events as well.
Knowledge Expertise.
Conversely, knowledge expertise will be asked to contribute to a skill pool from time to time to unlock new discovery for the wiki.
Outro.
Thanks for reading the update, next up is finally the big faction update everyone's been waiting for with details about new progression and bonuses that come with ranking up in them. Look forward to it!
