All notable changes to the project will be documented in this file.
From version 7.4.0.0 onwards, the following versioning convention applies:
Given a version number MAJOR.SOURCE.MINOR.BUGFIX, increment the:
- MAJOR version for large overhauls of functionality or design,
- SOURCE version for when new material (primarily a new sourcebook) is added in a manner that breaks backwards-compatibility,
- MINOR version for when functionality is added in a backwards-compatible manner,
- BUGFIX version for backwards-compatible bugfixes.
Prior to version 7.4.0.0, the difference between SOURCE and MINOR, and between MINOR and BUGFIX updates, was highly subjective.
- Familiar carry weights have been fixed
- Death Dragon buff no longer linked to Cloak of Chaos
- Dragonborn of Bahamut now keeps your original Type, instead of setting it to Humanoid
- Animal companions should now be working properly. Carry weights have been fixed. Skill ranks are not assigned, and must be done manually. Feats are not calculated, and feats other than bonus feats are not tracked.
- Carry weight formula tweaked - should no longer be adding phantom weight (see Issue #45)
- Legend of the Five Rings logo should no longer stick around on the character sheet through resets. Hopefully. (see Issue #46)
- Rangers now properly get Endurance as a free feat at level 3 again, without also having to be a second level Dwarven Chanter. (see Issue #54)
- Kobold Dwarven Chanters (don't ask) will now receive Kobold Endurance as a bonus feat at Dwarven Chanter 2, not Dwarven Chanter 1.
- Elf Ranger Racial Substitution Levels should now properly grant Servant of Lolth as an available Favoured Enemy at level 1. (see Issue #60)
- Assorted minor template fixes. Ogre Titan will no longer cause cascading errors. (see Issue 63)
- The Languages tab now properly resets with the rest of the sheet. (see Issue #65)
- The Evolved template no longer stacks geometrically. (see Issue #76) More generally, templates that can be selected multiple times will no longer list multiple copies of their SLAs.
- Natural Bond now affects the level of animal companion you can choose (see Issue #98) Companion choice level is now hard capped at character level - if you know of anything that can raise effective Druid level above character level for the purpose of animal companions, please let me know.
- Major overhaul of the sheet.
- Data tables have been moved to separate sheets where possible, for modularity and change control purposes.
