v0.3.0

Weapon Refactor

See the post on the homepage for an more detailed explanation. In short, the weapons have been overhauled, reducing the overall damage spread.

New weapon type: Semi-automatic
When you make a ranged attack with this weapon, you can use your bonus action to make a second ranged attack. You do not add your Dexterity
modifier to the attack or damage roll. The second attack may be on the same or a different target.

Added melee weapons.

Feats

  • New Feat: Hair Trigger, gives you an advantage when using semi-automatic weapons.

Classes

Class Features

  • Removed the "Up close and personal" fighting style.
  • Added the "Carnage" fighting style, which specifically buffs shotgun use.

Engineer

  • Renamed "Kamakaze drone" to "Disruptor drone", more in line with the game.
  • Renamed "Support" sublcass to "Medic", more in line with the game
  • Added some additional subclass features to the Demolisher. It was lacking in combat potential until later levels.

Vanguard

Cabal

  • Poison Strike was removed and the mechanic added as an advancement option for Charge.

Slayer
Slayer renamed to Shock Trooper, to better reflect the game

  • Biotic Bullrush was revamped slightly, giving the aspects of the Charger feat when using Charge.

  • Champion renamed to Battle Master to better reflect it's D&D counterpart.

    • Battle Master feat renamed to Tactical Advantage
  • Paladin renamed to Guardian to better reflect the feature set (auras that guard allies).

Spells & Powers

  • Neural Shock updated, now a creature hit by neural shock can take reactions until the start of its next turn.
