V9:Change Log - 240112

Developer Note: The current V9 Rules can be found here.

The V9 Wiki is currently obsolete. The Project Phoenix Google Doc is the main source of V9 rules going forward.
We will eventually rebuild the wiki as a comprehensive rules reference, but now is not that time.

Thank you for your interest in the project! Join the Discord for more information!

January 2024 (9A.5.240112) - Monster Update

LEGEND
🔴 = Important and Significant changes.
🟡 = Functional-but-minor changes.
🟢 = Changes that alter text with no functional impact on the rules.

---

DOCUMENT-WIDE

• 🟢 Typos, grammar, and bug fixes.
• 🔴 Monster section, including general rules and 12 monster profiles, has been added to the rulebook.

---

ABILITY-SPECIFIC UPDATES

• 🔴 Planar Binding has been reworked and renamed into Tracking. Scouts rejoice!
• 🔴 Rescue has been too slow to be useful so it now has a shiny, new, single-line incantation!

---

CLASS-SPECIFIC UPDATES
We didn't want to implement too much for other classes in the wake of the Monster update but there are a few changes that we felt were necessary to push now. Additional balance adjustments as well as the caster sustain/quality-of-life changes will be coming in the next major update.

• 🔴 HEALER
  • Banish frequency and rest time has been updated to be in line with other classes.
    • 1/Refresh ♻20 → 1/Life ♻10
• 🔴 WARRIOR
  • Some of Warrior's rest timers were not matching the rest of the game and Reforge in particular was becoming oppressive.
    • Warrior Taunt: ♻20 → ♻10
    • Warrior Reforge: ♻10 → ♻20
• 🔴 WIZARD
  • Spell list has been updated. In light of the changes to Planar Binding, it has been replaced with Banish on the wizard spell list.

---

CURIO UPDATE

• 🔴 Curio of Shadows (Black) has been more impactful than intended and is being altered to try to bring it's power level back in line with the others.
  • Bearer may use Shadow Step 2/Refresh → Bearer may use Pass Without Trace 2/Refresh.
