Highlights
- Major character sheet improvements focused on weapon, armor, mods, and gear
- Minor tweaks to rules. Some were based on feedback, others were made to simplify some gear
Rules
Consumable Slots
Prior to this update, the rules indicated that all armor had consumable slots for thermal clips (10), grenades (2), and medi-gel (4).
However, there was no indication as to which pieces provided these totals. We have now codified the slots-per-piece as:
- Chest: 6 thermal clips, 2 medi-gel
- Legs: 2 thermal clips, 2 grenades
- Arms: 2 thermal clips, 2 medi-gel
Body armor (being a combination of the three) continues to provide 10 thermal clip, 2 grenade, and 4 medi-gel slots.

Site Features
The bulk of the work for this update was integrating weapons, armor, mods, and gear into the character sheet. Previous to this
update, you had to make use of overrides for armor or mod mechanics and gear were just items with descriptions. Now, these
elements are fully interactive.
Additionally, there has long been confusion about armor mods. The intent of armor mods is that they can only be applied to
custom armor, not pre-made armor sets. In order to make this clearer we've removed the "Add Custom Armor" part of the equipment manager
and each custom armor type is available in the equipment manager. For example, if you had a custom heavy chest piece with 2 mod slots
you can add it via the new manager by searching for "Heavy Chest Armor II" then add mods to it.
Grenades have "marks", medi-gel has "types", personal shield generators and some programs also have "levels". In these
instances, every level of item has a unique entry for the character shield. I.e., you can now add a Mark V grenade and
it will show the correct stats for that item.
What I should do
- We recommend reviewing any overrides or settings you've made. You will need to remove these overrides to properly see
stats from gear. - If you have custom armor with mods applied, you should add the corresponding custom armor item and re-add your mods
- If you had any grenades, medi-gel, a personal shield generator, or any of the programs with "levels", remove them and re-add
the level-specific item.

Short and Long Rests
Short and long rest interfaces have been updated and are better at tracking power slot/point regeneration and hit die tracking.
Other improvements
- Mods installed on weapons and armor properly adjust character (or weapon specific) stats
- Equipped armor properly adjusts character stats
- Equipped grenades, heavy weapons, and medi-gel show up as usable actions
- Equipped weapons, grenades, medi-gel, and thermal clips take up slots (can be turned off via preferences)
- If you have a shoulder mounts mod equipped, you add your weapons to it
- When a feature or mod lets you reroll damage die, it is automatically rerolled and indicated in the roll log
Bug Fixes
- Certain powers and advancements provided an additional action to be taken while the power was active (example, with
pull, you can use a bonus action to move a pulled creature). This was causing confusion as the alternate casting time
was being interpreted as the power's casting time. In these instance, the alternate casting time has been removed. The only
alternate casting times that remain are for powers that can be cast with the alternate time. For example, you can cast
blade armor as a bonus action or a reaction. - Random height/weight page is now fixed
- Cantrip advancements are properly applied if your character is lower than 5th level
