You Meet the Prerequisite for These Patch Notes (#15)

Howdy everyone! It's been a while since our last patch notes, but that doesn't mean we haven't been hard at work. We've had a new NEXUS launch, our Alpha integration with Roll20, and oh so many book releases. On top of all of that, the team has been working on various improvements and fixes to make your experience better.

Highlights

Just want to see the biggest updates? No problem.

Pathfinder 2e: Feat Prerequisites

A massive quality-of-life update for the Pathfinder 2e and Starfinder 2e character builders: feats will now automatically filter out those you don't meet the prerequisites for. This has been a huge request from you all, and from ourselves, for a long time. We're delighted to deliver on it, and hope that you enjoy this improvement to building your characters!

Additionally, we now group feats by level instead of in a paged view, so you can easily jump into specific groups of feats when making your choices.

If you'd like to see feats you don't meet the prerequisite for, you can either use the slider to show them dynamically, or you can go to the "Preferences & Rules" option on the "Getting Started" tab to turn it on permanently for your character.

Pathfinder 2e: More Variant Rule Support

The team didn't just stop at adding prerequisite filtering. We're also extremely pleased to share that two more of the popular variant rules for Pathfinder 2e are now available to use in the builder: Gradual Ability Boosts and Automatic Bonus Progression. You can find these by going into the Character Builder, to the "Getting Started" tab, and finding the "Preferences & Rules" option underneath the character portraits.

With all of the extra options being added to the Preferences & Rules, we've also made some updates to how that section appears! We now have groupings of options (Variant Rules, Content Options, and Preferences) to make it easier to find what you're looking for. Additionally, we've added tooltips to all of the variant rules, so you can quickly learn more about an option before you activate it for your character.

Demiplane: Character Sorting Functionality

Some eagle-eyed Demiplanars may have noticed that when linking their Starfinder Nexus characters to the Roll20 VTT they had the option to sort the characters in their library. If you wondered if that was coming to the on-site character library, we're pleased to share that it is, and it's here!

When you now go to the Characters page on Demiplane, you'll be able to choose a method by which to sort your characters. They will then be sorted as you choose within their game grouping.

Complete Patch Notes

Ready for more than just the highlights? Here's everything we've adjusted in today's update.

Added the ability for a user to unlink their Roll20 account.
Links inside of the character builder now always open in a new tab—no more losing your place!
In a rule listing (like this), you can now click on the name in the row to open the details page in a new tab instantly.
DriveThruRPG purchases that give you a Demiplane product will now properly sync with Roll20, if there is a Roll20 Cross-Platform item to sync.
Added "breadcrumb" navigation to various detail pages for game rules, allowing you to more easily find where you are and navigate around.

ALIEN RPG

Fixed an erroneous link from Pushing Your Roll that was causing a 404.

Cyberpunk RED

Linear Frames that can be installed as Cyberware are now available in the builder.
Towa Type-00-Kai no longer gives you an additional +1 for no reason. You'll have to earn it, like everyone else.
An Obstacle listing has been added to the site, to help GMs everywhere cause more problems for their players.
The Luck attribute on your sheet should now properly open a drawer with rules information consistently, as opposed to only when you're lucky.

Daggerheart

Added the ability to add Notes to your Experiences.

Towering Stalk damage has been corrected.

Marvel Multiverse RPG

Fixed the action fields for some powers that still had old playtest rules on them.
Properly applied missing errata to Elemental Protection powers.
Corrected the spelling of Sliver, who is (contrary to popular belief) not called Silver. I hope you look at those two names long enough to understand why we made the error.
Magic Masks power now properly removes the effects of a mask when you change it, as opposed to stacking certain types of benefits. Sorry Hallow's Eve, this is a one mask Demiplane.

Pathfinder 2e

Added prerequisite filtering to the character builder, which can be optionally turned off in the Preferences section.
When selecting a feat, they are now displayed by level with the highest availablelevel automatically opened. (As opposed to the paged view from before)
Added support for Gradual Ability Boosts.
Added support for Automatic Bonus Progression.
We now show XP on the character sheet, which you can see under your character's information at the top left. Clicking "Manage XP" will let you adjust your Experience Points and level directly from the sheet.

Updated the Troop trait to the remastered version in NPC Core.
Fixed an issue where the Inventor's Churning Mind feature wasn't being granted.
The whiptail centipede in the creatures listing has received it's proper art and it does, indeed, whip.
Fixed some creature statblocks that were missing spaces before or after tooltips.

Fixed the Smogger's item category.

Did a refresh of Creature Families in the creatures listing for remastered groups.
Electric Arc should now have it's proper save type.

Fixed some remastered alchemist formulas not properly heightening.
The Healer's Gloves action should now function as expected in the sheet, so show it some love.
Fixed an issue where clicking View Details under a rule element would redirect to the home page. This also means search should be improved when it delivers rule results!

Fixed an issue where the Skilled Partner feat for the Summoner would not give your Eidolon options.
Fixed an issue where Level 1 Champions had their choices stuck at 10/11 complete.
Fixed an issue where creatures inside of sidebars would sometimes cause the information to be extremely narrow.
Feiya made a strange deal with a strange something and had various options disappear from her ready-made character sheet. This has been corrected, and we've talked to her about the dangers of working with strange entities. I'm sure she'll listen. Right?

Starfinder 2e

Barathu's Limited Telepathy description has been corrected, or at least, that's what it told us with its limited telepathy.
The Operative now correctly begins with an Expert Will Save.

What is this?

In these regular patches, we’ll be releasing fixes and updates to items on our larger NEXUSes (like Vampire and Pathfinder), and summarizing updates that have been released for smaller NEXUSes in the time since our last update.

Why the change?

With the new cache improvements, we don’t want to break your character’s cache on larger NEXUSes as frequently as we make small improvements and fixes. Instead, we’ll push them all at once on a regular cadence, so that you keep your improved load-times for longer! Read more here.

I noticed a problem!

Thanks for your eagle eyes! Please post about it in our forums, or on our Discord. If it’s a quick fix, we’ll get it in our next patch. Otherwise, we’ll make sure it gets to the right team member for deeper work.
