Dawnsbury Days News

This is a release candidate. If no new critical issues are discovered in the next two days, then this will be the build at release date.

Here's the patch notes for the last few updates:

Dawnsbury Days 2.30 [gold] [release candidate]

• Spells (Angelic Halo): Angelic Halo no longer crashes the game when healing at end of combat.
  

Dawnsbury Days 2.29

• Spells (Summon Animal, Summon Elemental): The spell descriptions didn't describe how the spells work.
  
• Free encounter mode: When editing the inventory at level 1, the shop and inventory now understand your proficiencies as they were at level 1 instead of the max level of your character. However, it would be too tricky to make this work for the overall shop and equipment screen in free encounter mode, so that won't be done before the release.
  
• Story mode: When you retrain or import a character in story mode, the shop view will update to take new proficiencies into account.
  
• Story mode: If a character becomes illegal during a medium rest or a long rest, e.g. because you installed or uninstalled mods, the Retraining option will now appear to allow you to fix that character sheet according to the new rules.
  
• User interface: The scrollbar now works correctly for resolutions other than 2560x1440.
  

Dawnsbury Days 2.28

• Architecture: Updated general.log time to UTC time.

• Classes (Magus): Thunderous Strike does not make a Strike if you have an additional unarmed attack or are adjacent to two or more enemies.
