Development News: Reconfiguring Fictional Zodiacs
Hi everyone,
As we continue working on the new skill, cooking, another issue came up. As our players would remember, the starsigns at the character creation give a skill point to a certain skill. Minotaur sign gives +1 to two-handed weapons skill, Raven sign gives +1 to alchemy skill and so on. Since we are now adding a new skill (cooking), we needed a new starsign to give a bonus to this skill. But there are already 12 starsigns and this can get out of hand if we add a new starsign for every new skill. So we decided to change the bonuses of the starsigns.
We are making starsign bonuses more straight forward and a little bit more powerful. Here are the first draft of the changes. Note that these can change after we playtest more.
We believe these new bonuses are easier to understand for the new players and will make a more significant impact on the character. Apart from these changes, we worked on some new foods for the upcoming update. See below the cards of four of them.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!
