This article aims to document these unlisted fixes, improvements, and tweaks.

Spell changes

Ability changes

Item changes

  • Stacks of Rhapsody's Scarlet Remittance are now only gained by killing enemies. Previously, you could easily max the stacks by destroying inanimate objects like crates.

Effect changes

  • Arcane Charge Arcane Charge has been significantly reworked.
    • Previously it provided bonus damage equal to your proficiency bonus to all damage against Threatened Threatened targets. It also imposed a 50% movement speed penalty while it was active.
    • Now, it provides 2 bonus damage to spells against threatened targets. There is no movement speed penalty.
    • Bided Time now only activates when hit by an enemy melee attack. Previously, it could be triggered by an allied attack (for example, if you used a Mage Hand Mage Hand to hit yourself).
  • Arcane Acuity Arcane Acuity has been slightly reworked.
    • It can now stack up to 10 times (up from 7).
    • When taking damage, you lose 2 stacks of Arcane Acuity.

    • It can now stack up to 10 times (up from 7).
    • When an affected entity makes an attack roll (whether it hits or misses), 2 stacks will be removed.

  • Mental Fatigue Mental Fatigue has been significantly reworked.
    • It can now stack up to 7 times (previously it couldn't stack).
    • When an affected entity fails a mental Saving throw with at least 5 stacks, they are discharged, dealing 1d4Damage TypesPsychic damage.
