FateTide — New Content (Jul 8)

🐉 43 new creatures just went live — our biggest bestiary drop yet. A taste of what's now stalking the realm:

🐲 The Mithral Dragons — a whole new metallic line, wyrmling to ancient.
"A mountain of moonlit scale unfolds, and you understand — it has been waiting for you specifically."

👁 The All-Seer (+ Devotee & the Watcher in Darkness) — an eyeless prophet-cult that already knows how it ends.
"I know why you have come, before you have said a word."

🧙 The Coven — Jasmine (Conjuration), Esmeralda (Illusion) & Vivian (Transmutation).
"She splits into two of herself, and both are smiling at you."

🔥 Elementals — Magma, Smoke, Ooze & Ice: primal, patient, pitiless.

🦎 Warbands & swarms — the blade-limbed Xixchil, the waterline Newtfolk, the unseen Batfolk stalkers, and the desert-hunting Zhakal packs.

💎 The Gem-Cutters — Abyss Jeweler, Gem Cutter, Glazier, Crystal Sentinel & Tyrant Fragment.
"It measures your arm the way it would measure a stone for cutting."

🕯 …and the nightmares — Living Wall, Living Blindness, Grue, Dream Eater, Effigy, Doppelganger Plant, Banelich, Sluagh, Susurrus, the Sages Arcanum & Divinum, and more.

Full stat blocks live on the site now. 🎲

FateTide Updates — Jul 9

✨ New & Improved
• New adventures are landing in the world — Moonfall, The Candy Witch, Cult of the Queen Below, and more chapters of The Crooked Moon — with their encounters, bosses, treasure, and ambient audio placed and ready to run.
• A big wave of new monsters joined the bestiary — Ash Giants, Amber (gem) dragons with their lair, Weremoths, Dog Boys, the Fiendwurm, Obsidian dragons, Pitch Tyrant, Shadow Unicorn, Silt Horror, Voidwraith, Vampire Muse, Banshrae, Tsochar, the Witness, and more. Boss creatures now come with lair actions and regional effects.
• NPC Composer (GM tool): spin up generic NPCs — guards, officers, musketeers, assassins, pike-and-halberd soldiers — at any power tier in a couple of clicks, without building a full creature from scratch.
• Encounter maps gained new parallax scenery backdrops matched to each location's environment, so battle maps have more depth and atmosphere.

🐛 Fixes
• Creature size: batfolk and newtfolk now show their correct size instead of shrinking to Tiny — which also fixes their reach in combat.
• Shapeshifters: the Witness and other form-changing creatures now apply their alternate forms correctly.

Happy 250th birthday, America! We got you a present. 🇺🇸

The red, white, and blue stars of this globular cluster shine like a sparkler waved on a dark night in this image from @NASAHubble, released in celebration of the United States' 250th anniversary.

:bug: Fixes
• Warlock passives that boost a stat or grant extra charges now actually work. "Full House" (which adds your Soul to your Fortune) and "Gift Purse" (extra Gift charges) were being silently dropped — those bonuses now show up on your sheet and in combat.
• Big proofreading pass across the rulebook info panels — Abilities, Armor, Classes, Curses, Damage Types, Essences, Containers, and the crafting/gathering skills all had typos and clumsy wording cleaned up (spelling, grammar, and clearer phrasing throughout).

:sparkles: New & Improved
• Encounter builder (GMs): you can now add lair action tables to an encounter, and lair actors show up properly in the combat tracker.
• Combat balance: repriced permanently-immobilized creatures so their power-level rating better reflects how easily they can be avoided.

New backdrop prototype design... welcome to the future of TTRPGs! Happy 4th.

**FateTide Updates — Jul 2**

✨ **New & Improved**
• **Inventory got a big upgrade** — open floating Character, Bag, and Equipment windows right from your sheet. Drag an item onto your paper-doll and you'll see a ghost preview of exactly where it'll equip, and bag windows now close themselves when you unequip the bag.
• **Action bar** — added a Skills quick-tray launcher, and your status effects now live right on the bar for faster access.
• **Live activity bars** — while a character is gathering, reading, or training, a progress bar floats above their token so everyone can see who's busy and how far along at a glance.
• **Area ambience** — moving into an encounter/area now plays its own scoped ambient audio.
• **Sheet polish** — cleaner Skills, weapon, and spell displays.

🐛 **Fixes**
• Healing (Cure Wounds and similar) now shows and applies correctly, including last-stand revival when you drop to 0 HP.
• Fixed creatures/tokens invisibly vanishing from the map due to a line-of-sight bug (the Tarrasque was a repeat offender).
• Dragging an item from the map into a bag no longer leaves a stray distance line or drop preview behind on the map.
• Inventory windows no longer stack over the combat log or menus.
• Item builder: "Against" roll modifiers (Min / Max / Half / Doubled) now save correctly.

[FateTide @TheFateTide]

✨ New & Improved
• **Combat sounds now layer** — a cast, its hit, and the follow-up effects play together instead of cutting each other off.
• **Monsters got voices** — creature death sounds, attack roars, and audio cues when status effects are applied.
• **New Soundboard** with separate SFX / Ambience / Music tabs and a master effects volume.
• **Action bar rebuilt for phone & tablet** — icon tabs (Abilities, Spells, Status, Actions) with bigger, easier-to-read icons.
• **Cast AOE spells at a higher level right from the bar** — the placed area grows to match the upcast.
• **Ritual casting is now a simple toggle** in a spell's pop-up panel, and placing any AOE makes its slot glow gold.
• **New map movement** — difficult terrain, overrun, swap-places-with-target, plus a "last stand" heal when a creature drops to zero.
• **Clearer runic icons** — class/subclass requirement badges and more distinct ability-type colors.
• **Snappier Prepare Spells tab** — toggling a spell updates instantly (no full reload), with a sticky header and a scrollable list.
• **Campaign join requests** flow improved (request, approve, and withdraw).

🐛 Fixes
• Updating or resetting your prepared spells no longer errors out.
• Spell-prepare cap now counts feat bonuses (e.g. Arcane Scholar's +2), so you won't show as falsely "over cap" — and prepared spells no longer get stuck un-toggleable.
• Action-bar slots holding a removed ability now show a clear "unknown" marker you can drag off to clear.
• Auto-triggered effects (on-kill procs, etc.) no longer pop false "can't affect this target" warnings.
• A creature's death now shares the same log entry as the attack that caused it.

@PlayHearthstone Your game keeps crashing on PC please fix this....

[FateTide @TheFateTide]

@KraftyMattKraft imho, BG3 != 5e

[FateTide @TheFateTide]

@noneconomical A realistic ending should involve us sitting side by side as queen and king of Baulder's Gate, or a city in the underdark. Or even having our own house in Menzoberranzan (I was playing Drow).

Again, thanks for making such a memorable character :)

[FateTide @TheFateTide]

@noneconomical I want to say I really loved Minthara's story. But I was disappointed by the ending. She said she wanted to rule side by side in sort of a world domination ending. When I beat the game, there was no option, and she walked away from me. Please fix this.

[FateTide @TheFateTide]

@noneconomical I was so sad to see such a well written character fall flat. Also after Act 1, I couldn't romance her further, which was also a huge sad.

Hell I busted her out of prison, and we were hell bent on world domination.
