Draw Steel news & patch notes

Version 0.0.786 of the Draw Steel Codex is now available!

Premium Modules

When creating a module, you can now set it as being premium. This means that you control who gets access to it. You can do this by generating keys which you might sell to customers, or distribute to backers. Each key can be used once to add the module to the user's inventory. Once a module is owned by you you can install it in any games you're in. This is aimed at allowing creators to use the Codex to distribute their sold content on.

Implementation

• The Summoner & Beastheart are now implemented through to Level 10 and ready for testing! Huge shoutout to the team for their hard work.

• The Shambling Mound Level 5 Solo monster first pass implementation has been completed

• The Time Raider monsters first pass implementation has been completed.

Other new features

• Export Character sheet to PDF added. Click the cloud icon in the top right of your character sheet!

• Export/Import of Codex Character json files added

• Summon appearances can be controlled by Summoner hero in the appearance tab.

Bug fixes

• Bug fix for Ability Customisation window: Setting a range modifier to a negative number should now work correctly.

• Global search can no longer deep link to deleted compendium entries

• Prevent Elemental Mote Catalyst from being able to target heroes

• Correct Remote Assistance classification as Heroic Ability

• Correct Summoner Circle of Blight The Boil's Hunger Thrush aura effecting creatures who passed the potency test

• Fix bug in Suppress Abilities when two features suppressed abilities with the same name. Later features win.

• Fix Respite duration effects ending when a Respite ended, rather than when it began

• Fix bug in Minion Squad coordination causing incorrect damage to be applied when multiple targets were selected

Version 0.776 of the Draw Steel Codex is now available

Shop

We've launched our in-game shop with some dice that we think are pretty cool! We have an initial batch of themed dice:

• Llianar - The Sunmetal, a metallic alloy created by the solar celestials, the sun elves in the youth of the world before the coming of war. Weapons made from Llianar gain powerful elemental properties. Sunmetal armor enhances wards.

• Sea of Stars - Also known as the Sea Between Worlds, the Sea of Stars is the interplanetary medium used by ships to travel between worlds. In the Lower Worlds, it is literally a liquid sea with constellations visible beneath the surface.

• Soulkiller Dice - A secret society of incorporeal revenants based in Capital who hunt and destroy powerful intelligent undead. Their motto, Mitte Umbram Quae Umbram Occidat is Caelian for "Set a ghost to kill a ghost."

• Terran Steel - The ancestral metal of the humans, steel is light, flexible and maintains a razor sharp edge even after much wear. It is arguably the most feared of the ancestral metals, because humans make it easily and with it they conquered all Orden and are now the dominant ancestry of the Prime Manifold.

• Zodiakol - The bloodmetal. Ancestral metal of the astral celestials, the star elves. Like all the elven metals, zodiakol takes enchantment well. Weapons made from the bloodmetal gain potent anti-magic "mage-slaying" properties.

With the shop now launched keep an eye out on future additions: More dice, deluxe adventures, map packs, and more!

Journal & PDFs

The Journal system has gone through a major refresh, with many more updated coming in the future!

• Edit pages in place. The journal editor is now a live editor: click anywhere on a page and start typing. Only the paragraph you're working on opens for editing - the rest of the page stays exactly as rendered, in the page's own font and styling. Undo/redo, autocomplete for links, and the formatting toolbar all work right there.

• Your work is safe. The journal now verifies every save, autosaves while you're idle, and merges cleanly if the page changed elsewhere - no more losing edits to an unlucky refresh.

• Find-in-page. Search inside the page you're reading, jump between matches, and keep your search active while switching between reading and editing. Results also surface related entries from the rest of your journal.

• The journal tree, wherever you're reading. Pin a tree rail to the side of any open document and browse your whole journal - including your PDF books - without going back to the panel.

• Smoother PDF reading. There is now a continuous scroll for PDFs, and you can page and scroll from the keyboard.

• Richer pages. Clickable checkboxes that match your page style, a tag for tracked campaign resources, and an optional Critical tier on power rolls. Widgets now match the page's skin instead of standing out against it.

• A cleaner look. The journal aesthetic got the full design-system pass: tab bar, tidier toolbar, and a dedicated stylesheet picker.

Encounter Builder

The encounter builder tool in the journal has been revised and made more robust!

The Wallmaster

The Wallmaster monster from the Delian Tomb has been improved, along some some related mechanics related to walls and terrain.

• Implemented the Wallmaster to gold tier standard.

• Added a system for doing created solid walls.

• Implemented creation of walls using Motivate Earth.

New features

• Revised all Radenwights to improve implementation standards

• Monsters: Ogres (Echelon 3) — First pass implemented for all 3 Echelon 3 minion ogre variants.

Bug fixes

• Correct incorrect Summoner incorrect essence gain on Minion death

• Correct Summoner minion death trigger

• Correct Summoner Quite of Snow Cold Surge area of effect being zero for 1T-1L size.

• Correct Summoner Control the Elements firing on every minion summoned

• Various other bug fixes

Version 0.0.766 of the Draw Steel Codex is now available!

There are some hot new features this week so put on a hat, sunglasses and sun lotion!

New Features

Walls with Heights & Solid Walls

• Walls can now have heights set on them. You can fly over walls, or even climb over them if they are set as climbable.

• Solid walls have been added. That is, a wall with a floor on top of it. These will be used as building blocks for wall abilities in the future.

Cross-Section Altitude Diagrams

• Whenever you plan a movement and there is anything "interesting" regarding verticality -- you fly over someone or walk under someone who is flying, you climb a wall, or get pushed off one. Anything at all, you get a cross-section diagram helping you to understand what is going on precisely.

Audio Panel Re-design

We have reworked the Audio Panel and added a bunch of new features which we hope will make a significant difference to people that use Audio in their games! Sound Categories & the Mixer

• Every sound now belongs to a category - Music, Ambience, or Effects - each with its own live volume fader under "Levels" (alongside UI Sounds and Anthem).

• Adjust any category mid-session without stopping playback: pull the music down for a dramatic line while your rain loop and combat effects keep going.

• The same Levels faders are available in the dock, the Audio Studio, and the top-bar popover.

Library Management via the Audio Studio

• Search the library by name with matching folders auto-expanding, organise with nested folders, and rename clips inline.

• Set per-clip loop, volume, and mute; upload straight into a category or re-categorise later.

• Preview any clip on your own ears before the table hears it.

Auto-Ducking Under Anthems

• When a hero's anthem plays, the music automatically ducks out of the way and restores when it ends.

• Configurable in "Ducking settings": toggle it, set how far the music dips, and set independent fade-in / fade-out times.

Playlists & Game-Mode Music

• Build playlists in the Audio Studio with Shuffle, a Crossfade time, or "Play all tracks together" to layer them as one bed.

• Pin a playlist to the dock to fire it in a single tap, and skip ahead with the Next track control.

• Bind a playlist to each game mode (Combat, Exploration, Respite, Downtime) so the right music starts automatically when the mode changes

Variant Pools & Looping Ambience

• Group interchangeable clips into a Variant Pool so a repeated sound never sounds identical, with Random pick and Pitch variation.

• Flip "Loop as ambience" to turn a pool into a living background bed that re-fires at random intervals you control (Min/Max gap, or Dense / Sparse presets), with optional Layer sounds and Fade in/out.

• A dock badge shows how many ambient loops are running. Stop ambient loops clears them all while leaving one-shots alone.

Soundboard

• Redesigned the soundboard to align with our new themes and pulled management into the Audio Studio.

• Edit mode lets you assign clips, clear and reorder pads, and colour-code buttons; a variant pool on a pad plays a fresh variant every tap.

Anthems

• A dedicated Anthems section on the Dock lists every hero's anthem in one place, so you manage them all without hunting through character sheets.

• Preview an anthem on your own ears, and adjust its volume on the fly - the change writes straight to that character and adjusts for everyone at the table.

Map Sounds ("On This Map")

• Manage positional audio emitters for the current map directly from the Audio panel - no object panel required - with per-emitter on/off, volume, falloff distance, and wall penetration.

• Hover a row to see its falloff ring on the map, or double-click to pan the camera to it.

• + Add map sound drops a new emitter at the centre of your view and opens the clip picker.

Player Controls & DJ Delegation

• Every player gets their own personal levels and mute - they can quiet the music in their own ears without changing what the table hears.

• The Director can hand a player the DJ role to let them drive the table's music, and take control back at any time.

• The Director's mix can never push a player's audio above that player's own caps.

Top-Bar Audio Control

• A new audio indicator in the title bar shows at a glance whether audio is playing, idle, or muted from anywhere in the app.

• Click it for a quick mixer: Now Playing, personal Master and mute.

• Directors and DJs also get the broadcast Levels, "Mute for everyone", "Stop all audio", and a shortcut to open the Audio Studio.

Accessibility & Hearing Safety

• Audio event log (opt-in, per player): music, mood, anthem, and effect changes appear as muted cards in the action log, so you can see audio you can't hear. This so hard-of-hearing players can get visual feedback and Directors can run audio entirely by sight.

• Loudness normalization evens out music and ambience clip loudness so a loud track doesn't jump-scare the table, with per-clip trim for manual control (effects are intentionally excluded).

• Category and soundboard colours are always paired with a glyph or label.

Send Feedback

Now you can send bug reports and feature requests from right within the Codex! There is a Send Feedback menu option at the top of the screen. It will give you options to easily send a screenshot, your game log, permission for developers to enter your game, and your system specs, allowing us to diagnose your issues as easily as possible.

Other New Features

• Made it so that monsters have their own 'implementation status' which shows how implemented they are.

• Depreciate Game > Respite rest dialog and shift to using Respite Game Mode.

Bug fixes

• Some bug fixes and improvements this week but we don't have an exhaustive list

Version 0.0.758 of the Draw Steel Codex is now available!

This weeks update is primarily focused on bug fixes. We have rapidly implemented a lot of new features since entering Early Access and been working hard at implementing more content. The stability, performance and robustness of the rules are very important to us and MCDM so we have taken the opportunity to briefly pause to consolidate the Codex and spend time resolving bugs. We'd like to give a big thank you to the community for reporting bugs and helping to make the Codex the best VTT it can be.

New this week

• Rival Monsters echelons 1 - 4 first pass has been implemented in the bestiary. And the Black Iron Pact from Draw Steel Monsters (page 239) is now a party available in the character tab.

• Added a section in the main Settings dialog for Map-specific settings. Also made it so you can use this to change the default for any map-specific setting app-wide.

• Allow for "critical" results as a "tier 4" on rolls in journals.

• Added a Respite Activity drawer to the Action Bar which will show when the Game Mode is switched to Respite. Abilities that previously were housed under Maneuver->Respite Activity will now display here.

• The Character Builder now shows the implementation status of feature choices without needing to expand the card.

• The Second Echelon of the Summoner has been implemented and is ready for testing

Journal Styling Sheets

Basic Journal Styling sheets can now be set up using the Journal Styling Sheets. In the journal, check out the Journal Styling Showcase and in the Compendium, you can add your own Journal Stylesheet.

Coming soon:

• Styling stat blocks, encounters, and other embeds.

• Additional options to style directly from sheet creation in the Compendium.

Bug fixes

• Correct Talent lvl 5 Soulbound not allowing it's strained effects, if you became strained from using the ability.

• Correct bug in Psi Boost Shared Power throwing an error.

• Talent's Optic Blast whilst strained now offers you the surge to use on the current roll.

• Elementalist's Practical Magic use of Knockback now replaces the melee, weapon keywords with ranged, magic. Specifies the range as Ranged 10.

• Demon Remasch's Abyssal Strike has its 5 cost rider implemented.

• Added the missing flavour text to Classic Chandelier Stunt.

• Resolved an issue where the EV on the Character Sheet would not update on a monster who had its level adjusted.

• Fixed a bug with global search where ancestry features could not be searched.

• Fixed a bug with global search where nested feature cards were not filtered or automatically expanded.

• Fixed an issue where the Orc's Glowing Recovery purchased trait would spend twice the amount of Recoveries used.

• Fixed an issue where the ability preview card for Wing Buffet, the Corven Kit signature ability did not show the power roll information.

• Fixed an issue where Afflict a Bountiful Decay could only end Save Ends or End of Turn conditions instead of all Save Ends or End of Turn effects.

• Fixed an issue with the Arixx's Soft Underbelly trait where the double edge was available on the Knockback ability.

• Removed Castling and My Spear, My Foe abilities from Orc Juggernaut as these belong to Orc Rampart.

• Removed Brace and Bogart and Courtesy Call abilities from Orc Terranova.

• Fixed a bug where the Damage Immunity modifier would not accept a Custom Table and would throw an error.

• Changed Tactician Marks to be individualized per ability.

• Add missing flavor text to Talent Awe ability.

• Made it so you can still see Ability Preview cards on the Villain Action panel even if you have already used a Villain Action this round. Moved the tooltip warning You have already used a Villain Action this round to be a footer on the ability preview card.

• Added a Mark as Used option when right-clicking on a Villain Action in the Villain Action Panel.

• Resolved an issue where the incorrect potency value was being used for the Beastheart's Herd the Sheep and I Feed On Your Pain abilities.

• Fixed an issue where the Lightbender Companion was the wrong size.

• Updated the range and target text for the Censor's 7 Wrath Abilities to match the Heroes book.

• Fixed an issue where the Thorn Dragon had 3 turns instead of 2.

• Fixed an issue where the Thorn Dragon's 1Dragonsealed` effect triggering and causing a d3 of damage was being considered a valid damage source for the trigger and could re-trigger the Dragonsealed effect.

Version 0.0.753 of the Draw Steel Codex is now available!

Adjusting Monster Levels

We have implemented support to easily adjust monster levels. To do this, place a monster creature on the map and open their character sheet. To the right of their Level there will be an Adjust Levels button. Clicking this button will pop a modal that allows you to:

• Adjust the level of the monster up and down. This will automatically scale potency, characteristics, stamina, EV, general tier damage and strike tier damage based on the monster math MCDM use when creating monsters.

• These changes are displayed to you in a table that is easy to read and understand the impact of adjusting levels.

• You can click Reset to return the monster to its original level.

• Minions have an additional control where you can apply the scaling to the entire squad (default) or to an individual minion in that squad should you so choose,

Last week we added a creature template to apply the Instant Solo rules to an Elite or Leader monster. Some discussion we had internally was that was great for Leaders who already had Villain Actions but Elites were still not as powerful as a true Solo or upgraded Leader as they don't have Villain Actions. To improve upon this, Elite and Leader monsters now have a Make Solo button underneath their role on their character sheet. This button will:

• Change the monster type to Solo

• Apply the Instant Solo template

• Add and automatically expand a Villain Actions category to your abilities with empty slots for Villain Action 1, 2, 3 (or Opener, Crowd Control, Showstopper respectively). Clicking on any of these slots will open the Villain Action Picker which will populate a list of all Villain Actions of that category on any existing monster in the Codex. This is filterable, you can preview an ability and then add it to the creature to instantly give them that ability. You can also author a new ability from this picker by clicking Create New and this will open the Ability Editor with the Ability Category preset to Villain Action and the Villain Action # defaulted to the slot you opened the picker from.

Other New features

• Add Animal builder to Predator B

• You can now edit the properties of a floor to change the image used for that floor. Upload multiple variants of a map, like a "flooded" version or a "on fire" version and switch between them with a few clicks.

• You can now set your preferred image editor in settings, and then Live Edit the image used for objects on your map. It will pop open the image in your image editor, edit it, save, and the Codex will recognize the changes you've made instantly!

Performance Pass

• We've done a performance pass focused on the memory usage of the app, aiming to reduce it.

• Memory usage has been decreased significantly, especially VRAM usage.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where sometimes left and right arrow keys would become unbound to token movement.

• Add "While Persisting" to Aura durations

• Change Aura duration for Elementalist 2nd level O Flower Aid, O Earth Defend

• Change Aura duration for Elementalist 5th level Storm of Sands and Web of All That's Come Before

• Correct abilities like Talent's Blur not including base ability cost.

https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/steel-echoes/mythic-treasures-powered-by-draw-steel

Version 0.0.744 of the Draw Steel Codex is available!

Global Search

We have implemented global search from the search bar in the menu. This search bar previously searched uploaded PDF's and game settings but we have extended this to search throughout the app. There's a lot to cover here and our attempts of a short video kept exceeding 10 mins so we trimmed it down to 5 minutes and let's just say there is more to discover!

In brief:

• Search is expanded to include the compendium, the bestiary, tokens on map, tokens not on the map, journal documents, map pins, maps in your campaign and can be used as a quick navigation point to search results in all of these areas.

• You can use Ctrl + F to search and the arrow keys to navigate results, Enter will open the result

• Several performance increases to improve responsiveness of search, the most notable of which are Classes which previously took a while to load based on the number of features but we have reduced that to a reasonable time

• The compendium will now filter to only show menu items and results that match your search instead of dimming and highlighting

• Reworked the feature panel on the character sheet, its now categorized, filterable and features that grant abilities will show these cards

• Added a curated features panel to the Tactical Panel which will show you a curated set of features your character has which are not already displayed as abilities in the action bar or the other 'buckets' in the tactical panel. These show as interactable chips which can be clicked on to get the description. This is a first pass at answering the question of 'what else can my character do?'

• Global search can search for ability names and give you results of heroes on the map that have that ability and open their character sheet

• Global search can search for traits and features of heroes and enemies and open character sheets

• Monsters and tokens can be placed on the map from global search

• Added support for certain monster attributes, e.g. you can search for Level 4 Brute and see all monsters that are Level 4 and have the Brute role.

• You can search the name of a monster ability and find the monster in the bestiary, open their sheet or place them on the map from here. - If they're already on the map you can click the token result and it will pan to the monster, open the action drawer and flash the ability

Instant Solos

Added a creature template for Instant Solo which will apply the modifications to a creature as outlined in the Monsters book to turn an Elite or Leader monster into a Solo

Downtime Enhancements

• Added a new editor for Downtime Activities under Compendium / Rules.

• Added ability to select an activity or crafting project in downtime projects that have had no progress.

• Creating a new Downtime Project now automatically pops up the project selector dialog.

Ability Customization

Players can now personalize their character's abilities without modifying the base data.

• Customize Button - A pencil icon button appears on each ability row in the character sheet

• Display Name - Rename an ability for your character only

• Flavor Text - Override the ability's description

• Character Speech - Add spoken lines that trigger when the ability is cast. Randomly chosen from the list you give it each time.

• Damage & Potency Bonus - Increase damage or potency for this character's version of the ability

• Range Bonus - Adjust range, burst radius, cube size, or line dimensions

All customizations are personal to your character and don't affect the base ability used by others.

Community Game Modes

• The Codex now supports game modes made by the community. You can opt-in to seeing game modes made by the community available when you create a game by enabling it in settings.

• This is debuting with a proof of concept game mode that supports playing the Crows playtest. It modifies the Codex to work well to play Crows, a role playing game developed by MCDM which is in testing now.

• Community content like this is developed by community members as mods to the Codex. If you develop a mod that substantially changes the game type, please let us know about it and we can consider adding it to the list of community mods.

More New Things!

• Hobgoblins have been implemented

• Added Minion Squad Controls to Summoner Tactical Panel. Allows drag and drop of minions between squads, as well as changing of Squad Names and colors.

• Add tail of fire support to Elemental Summoner's Flow of Magma Molten Strike ability.

Bug Fixes

• Correct Move Aura misaligning with user's selection

• Fixed an issue where the Transform Creature Behavior was not displaying any fields and would throw an error when adding the behavior

Version 0.0.740 of the Draw Steel Codex is now available.

This week we have:

Expanded Encounter System

• Encounters can now have multiple "waves" specified when building them, including which round the waves arrive.

• When a new wave is available, a button on the combat tracker is available to the Director to spawn the new wave.

• Encounters now allow you to choose the victory condition for the encounter from several possible options as well as the number of Victories the encounter is worth.

• The Director gets some "Objective Text" on the combat tracker telling them about the victory condition and how close the players are to achieving it. There is a control to share this text with the players.

Victories

• Once victory is achieved the Director can press a button to show a victory screen and award the players victories.

Other new features

• The following Echelon 2 Demons have been implemented: Gunge, Tormenauk

Bug fixes

• Updated Gnoll Cackletongue trigger to last until end of turn (previously was until end of round)

• Overflow damage to Summoner after Summon squad killed added • Rework minion coordinating target

• Improvements to Summoner Caverly Charge. Bronze to Silver implementation.

• Correct Fury Stormwright's Furious Change language from Rage to Ferocity

Version 0.0.733 of the Draw Steel Codex is now available.

Please see this video which highlights some of the top new features:

This week we have:

Villain Action Panel

• Added a Villain Action panel which will show below the Combat Tracker when there is a Leader or Solo present. This UI shows you the Villain Actions for your Leader or Solo regardless of which monster is selected and will flash at the end of another creature's turn to highlight that they can be used. This panel will enforce the rules of Villain Actions (each can only be used once and only one per round). Please note that should you need to re-use a Villain Action ability, these can still be used from the Trigger drawer in the Action Bar.

• If you have more than one Leader or Solo in the encounter (won't someone think of the players!), you can click the portrait image next to the Villain Action buttons to cycle between the available Villain Actions.

• Villain actions triggered from the Villain Action panel will pan the camera to the Villain and show a dramatic banner for the Villain Action before the ability is executed

Summoner Echelon 1

• The Summoner is now complete for all of Echelon 1!

• Allow Summoner minions to stack any number of attacks against a single target

• Correct 5-cost minions not gaining base Summoner minion template.

• Correct Summoner Skeleton using incorrect image.

And More!

• Correct Stormwright Fury's Tooth and Claw targeting allies.

• Correct Let me Introduce Tonight's Player's triggering on round 2 of combat.

• A new \] tag is recognized in journal Markdown which allows you to embed videos in your journal pages.

• Implemented the following Echelon 2 Demons: Bale Eye, Fangling, Fiktin

• New Markdown-based "Campaign Tracker" panel allows you to easily record notes, set up counters, and more to track your campaign's status.

This update aims to resolve some issues some users have been experiencing.

• Fixed a bug where players would lose vision from their characters.

• Fixed some cases where clicking to use a trigger such as an opportunity attack wouldn't do anything.

• Resolved a number of "desync" issues.

Version 0.0.728 of the Draw Steel Codex is now available.

Power Roll Diagnostics Added to the Ability Editor

The Ability Editor now shows some diagnostics underneath the preview panel to help with authoring abilities that have an Ability Power Roll behavior. This is to supplement the existing grey text when unrecognised and white text when recognised. When everything is configured correctly, there will be a small chip saying No Issues. If there are issues detected with the rules text being parsed, the chip will expand and flag what tier the issue is on and what the issue is.

• When an ability is set to the Unimplemented status, it will flag a number of issues such as:

  • Incorrect spelling on damage types

  • Conditions missing a duration where one is expected. E.g. will flag for Weakened but not for Prone

  • Will flag when something is not being interpreted as a rule (such as flavour text)

• When an ability is set to Bronze or above, the assumption here is that if you have changed the implementation status, you have added whatever behaviours necessary to make the ability work. The diagnostics chip will stop showing issues where text is not being interpreted as a rule but will still flag for incorrect damage types and conditions missing durations.

Combat Tracker UI Update

We have reworked the combat tracker to make it simpler and easier to use.

• There is a new draggable panel above the Battle Compass. This supports dragging a portrait from the Heroes or Monsters side to the middle and triggering the start of turn.

• There is a new Combat Settings Cog to the right of the Battle Compass which will provide you with a list of Combat Settings formerly only available in right-click or by navigating to the Game Menu

• The initiative portrait cards now more cleanly show who has acted and who is yet to act.

Monster Updates

• It's a week for Solo's! The Manticore and Medusa have both been implemented.

• The Wode Hag is now fully implemented. Enjoy handing out snackies for your sweeties!

• Implemented the following Echelon 2 Demons: Grulqin, Orliq, Wobalas

Bug Fixes & Other Improvements

• Fixed some issues where the ability preview in the Ability Editor would show grey text (could not be interpreted as a rule) when the text is recognised and runs successfully when an ability is used.

• The prone condition now has red reminder text when moving to remind the player their movement speed is reduced.

• Tactician's Mark additional damage now applies to all targets of a multi-target power roll, not just the marked target

• Censor's judgement now applies a bane to the whole roll when used, instead of only for one target

• Sprite Dandeknight Free strikes corrected to reflect damage choice and 2 creature targeting.

• Correct keywords in Conduit Word of Guidance

• Fix bug with Summoner summons not allowing selection outside of Summoner Range

• Fixed an issue where the Surprised ongoing effect was using old rules text

• Fixed an error that occurred when you used Coat the Blade and attempted to use a damage ability with surges and convert the damage to poison

• Made it so Instantaneous Excavation and similar abilities don't let you put both holes in the same place.

• Updating target text for the Stolen Vitality ability for the Soulwight and Armoured Soulwight to 'One ally'

• Raider Kit Signature ability name updated to "Raider's Awe" to match rules errata

• Gnoll Summoner Call Abyssal Hyena ability will now group the summoned Hyena's with the Summoner and be added to combat automatically

• Resolved an issue where size wasn't being calculated correctly when using Knockback

• More progress on consolidating the UI and having more areas support theme and colour scheme changes, the most notable being the Tactical Panel

The following fixes were made:

• An issue where declining a trigger could still cause resources to be spent was fixed.

• An issue where going up stairs to the next floor wasn't working was fixed.

• Some styling fixes.

• Switching color schemes now looks cooler.

Beastheart and Summoner Beta

Today we are officially releasing the beta versions of both the Beastheart and the Summoner at Level 1. Please give them a try and let us know what you think and report any bugs you find. Over the next few weeks we’ll continue to build out more of these classes until all 10 levels are implemented and polished.

Master Classes

The Beastheart and Summoner are both examples of master classes in Draw Steel. Master classes are intended for players who are familiar with the game and have played a few sessions already. They are normally not recommended for first time players - you need to know the rules before we start breaking them on you! The goal of our beta implementation is to create a user experience that makes these master classes almost as easy to run as the rest of the Draw Steel classes.

The Beastheart

A beastheart never fights alone! You travel with a ferocious beast by your side—no trained pet, but an untamed creature such as a wolf, a basilisk, or even a young dragon. Bound to you by a primordial connection, your companion honors your wishes just as you are guided by their instincts. But beware! As battle rages on, your companion may succumb to a blood-soaked rampage, lashing out at enemies and friends alike.

As a beastheart, you face the world’s dangers alongside your wild companion. With your combined might, you rush into the thick of combat to challenge enemy champions or prowl around the outskirts to pick off vulnerable foes.

The Summoner

You are the armada. The kings of old would trade armies for your abilities. You’ve undertaken the tradition that conjures an endless supply of warriors. You are the summoner, the mage who takes their dreams and makes them manifest.

You call forth minions to trudge fearlessly into the fray and provide support, holding the enemy at bay while you and your fellow heroes ready the counteroffensive.

Your minions serve unflinchingly, unerringly, to their death or to yours. You can also take advantage of powerful magic to buff your allies, whittle down your enemies, or enlist the fallen into your ranks. And when push comes to shove, you can call upon your champion to finish the fight.

Beta Release and Player Content Strategy

We think it’s important that players have as few restrictions as possible to play classes and use the various player options we create. If you own a copy of the Draw Steel Codex you will get fully playable versions of these classes, first in beta as we release updates week-by-week, and then ultimately the full versions. All as part of your purchase of the Codex.

Our goal is to eventually have every class and player option we create be in the Codex, starting with these two. The Beastheart and the Summoner are no additional charge because they are now (or soon will be) in the open license.

The in-game shop is coming soon™️ and will allow you to purchase cosmetic items, such as token sets for the Summoner or deluxe animated tokens for the Beastheart. Stay tuned for more info!

Bug Reporting

You can post bugs here on Steam, but the best way to report bugs on the Beastheart and the Summoner is to go the DMHub Discord to see if there is already a report the codex-bug-reports channel and post a new report if there isn't one.

Theme Engine

The Codex now supports theming. Use Codex -> Theme & Color Scheme... to choose a theme and color scheme. It has the default theme and a rounded corners theme out of the box as well as a handful of color schemes.

If you run into any UI that simply does not work, or just doesn't look right, please bug it. You can sometimes use /safetheme true to clean up UI that isn't drawn correctly, especially if it's checkbox or drop-down.

You can create themes and color schemes of your own. These are code modules that you can share with others. For now they'll be limited to the games they're installed into, but we're working on a way to make them cross games. Coming soon, hopefully.

You can learn more about theming on the wiki page at:

https://dmhub.wiki/en/codex/modding/creating-themes

We can't wait to see the creativity you bring to the UI!

Build an Animal

Rather than simply listing a finite set of Animals, *Monsters* has rules for building your own! Maybe your animal can leap and swim, or maybe it has a tough hide and can burrow underground. Now we have this represented in the Codex, with a full interface for building your Animal, and the EV is automatically calculated! This comes as part of a new Monster Template system which can be set up to create your own "Build-A-Bear" monster building systems in the compendium!

Strict Rules Enforcement

Inform but do not enforce. That has always been the Codex way. Your players are told where they can move, but the program won't actually stop them from moving further. That's been the way up until now, but we know that lots of you would really *like* to have a little more of a firm boundary around you or your players to actually enforce the rules of the game. We are providing our very first set of options around this, allowing you to turn on different types of rules enforcement. These new "strict" rules are all off by default, but turn them on in your game if you want the rules to actually be enforced.

Map Navigation

Your players view through their character's eyes is the model we've used for the Codex's vision system, meaning that your players always just end up on the map their characters are on.

But, some feedback we have had is that people want to have maps they can just share with their players and their players can visit at any time. These include world or region maps, splash screens, a "home base" the players may want to reference at any time, and so forth.

Go to Panels -> Map Settings and check ✅Player Viewable to set the players to have full knowledge of a map. Then, players can go to Game -> Maps and navigate between all the maps they have full knowledge of as well as the map their character is on.

• Updated Dragon Dreams complication to correctly state that 2 points of traits could be selected instead of 3

• Updated the Demon Chorogaunt's Signature, Malice and Villain Abilities to improve usability and apply fixes.

• Human BlackGuard has had many improvements implemented

• Resolved an issue where if you Disengaged before attacking with A Squad Unto Myself, damage would spill over to minions of the same squad that were not in the area

• Fixed a bug where some DTO's such as The Grasping, the Hungry would show up at the wrong parallax level in some maps

• Made it so cube targeting defaults to targeting the ground but can be adjusted to target at any altitude.

• Change free strikes being limited to only monsters with signature abilities. Now all monsters receive.

• Fixed Behold the Face of Justice so push uses Censor's size for pushing.

• We’re trialing making bleeding a prompt to try avoid times where the roll dialogue interrupts another ability.

New Triggered Ability Editor

Triggered Abilities now open in a redesigned editor which is laid out like the new Ability Editor we released a few weeks ago. It has a navigation pane on the left with sections for Trigger, Setup, Effects & Display, the work area in the middle where you configure the ability and a preview pane on the right. Everything that used to be in one long form is now grouped by section so it should be easier to find what you need and to see how the different parts of the ability fit together.

Prose Engine

The new editor has a first attempt at building out a prose engine which converts GoblinScript formulas into plain language. What this means is if you add a formula to the Triggers Only When field of Damage Type = "fire" and damage > 5, the How This Triggers panel will show When you take damage, if the damage type equals fire and the damage is more than 5. Formulas in Triggers can get complicated so we hope this makes it easier to understand what your condition is actually checking for. This is brand new and we only focused on adding support for symbols that appear in triggers. Not every symbol or formula will support this plain language and where it isn't available, it will fallback to show the formula.

Live Preview While You Edit

As you make changes to the triggered ability, the preview column shows what the ability would look like as a card, this is an authoring aid only to help you get live feedback and help you catch potential errors, the Triggered Ability Display modifier is still required alongside a Triggered Ability to display the trigger in the Action Bar. This preview will auto-derive from your entries in the editor, but these can be overridden by making updates in the Display section. The How This Triggers panel shows you how the Codex will interpret the trigger and will flag problems as you work (things like missing behaviours, misspelled ongoing effects or damage types and references to GoblinScript symbols that don't exist on your chosen trigger event) to try and catch the simple errors that catch us all out.

Test Panel

There is also a new Test Trigger panel which will let you check whether your conditions will actually fire without having to set up a full encounter to test the trigger. This is driven from tokens placed on the current map and you can assign tokens to different roles (trigger subject, trigger owner, attacker, etc), fill in any extra values the trigger uses (damage type, distance, keywords, etc) and press Run Test. If the condition fails, the pantel will tell you in plain language which part of the condition failed and what it needed. Depending on the condition, there are also options to 'pretend' that subject has a given condition, ongoing effect, attribute so you don't always need to set up that condition on the map. This panel can be popped out so you can edit the ability and re-run the test, you can also leave this open and close the editor, make updates to tokens on the map and re-run the test from the popped window. There is also an Open Editor box which will take you straight back to the ability editor.

Going Back to the Old Editor

The new editor is on by default, if you run into an issue there is a setting called "Use classic triggered ability editor" in Settings, if you check this and reload the Codex it will use the classic triggered ability editor.

Other Features & Fixes

Night Shift: Devil Division

We had the pleasure of meeting the team behind Night Shift: Devil Division last week. This is a Draw Steel-based game which is live on Backerkit today, and if they hit their £150,000 stretch goal they plan to bring it to the Codex!

If you want to see more games using the Draw Steel system AND on the Codex, consider backing it today! Oh, it also looks amazing, by the way.

Ability Editor - Redesigned

We have received a lot of feedback before and during Early Access that the Ability Editor is powerful but intimidating and can overwhelm new users. We have taken the first steps to make this process easier. We will continue to expand and improve upon this in Early Access but hope you find the new editor a more streamlined experience. There is a video tour of the new editor here:

Updated:

• The Ability Editor now sections the fields for making an ability into 5 sections that you can click through to set up your ability. These sections are: Overview, Cost & Action, Target, Effect, Presentation.

• Added a 'preview' pane which shows the ability as it will appear on hover in the Action Log or displayed in the Roll Dialog, this is updated as you make edits

• Behaviours are no longer in a dropdown and instead are added through a modal where you can search or browse through a categorised list with a single line description for what each behaviour does

• Behaviours in the Effects panel can be moved up down via arrows in the behaviour header and you can copy and paste behaviours via buttons instead of copying via the right click menu and pasting from the behaviours list

New:

Creating an ability now pops up with a modal asking you to select one of three options. Create from template, Duplicate Existing and Blank.

Blank: This is the default experience you would be used to where you need to completely build the ability from scratch

Create from template: The Compendium now has a section called Ability Templates where you can configure a 'template' of an ability which will appear in the 'Create from Template' list. When you create an ability from a template, it will configure the ability according to the template and you can make personalised edits from there. We have shipped with some basic templates but these will get added to over time and you can even add your own for your own games!

Duplicate Existing: This feature allows you to search or browse the categories for abilities that already exist from Classes, Subclasses, Monsters, Titles, Complications and Global Rules. Selecting an ability here will copy the ability's configuration and effects which you can then personalise and edit to your needs.

Bug fixes

Network stability and improvements

Thank you all for your patience and for the many users that provided feedback and allowed us to troubleshoot their games. We had some unanticipated lag due to the number of users who joined us on the launch of Early Access. This has caused us to move up a planned architecture change on our back end. We have tested this thoroughly and we believe that the issue will now be resolved for everyone but please let us know if you have any further issues.

• Please note that we have not migrated a small number of games to the new backend architecture as they were active when we did the migration. We will try to migrate these games later this evening.

Bug fixes and improvements

• Fix to Basilisk's Poison Fumes ability to correctly target a cube, and to correctly lump "weakened and slowed (save ends)" under one save

• Angulotl Hopper's Toxiferous trait now correctly applies only when attacker is adjacent

• Added some forced movement walls into goblin guardians map

• Bleeding now triggers on ability rolls that use Might or Agility. It should also now trigger on triggered actions. The intention is that bleeding will not trigger if, as part of the used ability, you lose the bleeding condition. For example from healing above 0 or from clearing the condition mid ability. If you come across a case where you think you should or should not have triggered bleeding, and it did the opposite, please file a bug report

• Censor Righteous Judgment should now give allies a Surge when they deal damage to a judged target
