April 2025 Updates

🎉Welcome to our first update of the season! 🎉
I hope you've all dried off since the weekend and remembered to wash your wet garb. I've certainly had a lot to think about, especially that Slap Ya Mama Chicken on third shift- the name doesn't lie, I would have slapped my mother for it.

We've tweaked the rules and items below based on what was seen and heard after the April 2025 event, just to iron out some wrinkles and close some loopholes. If anything looks a little sideways or you've got questions, don't hesitate to ask any Rules Committee member or post a message on Discord and tag @Rules.

Anesthesia Trap

  • Duration changed from 1 hour to 10 minutes, to match its alchemical counterpart.

The Archivists of Vargainen

  • Previously not documented on the wiki, this organization has been added to try to clear up some confusion between them and the Vargainen Commissary.
    • In short: The Archivists want to trade your stuff, the Commissary wants to give you stuff to murder with.

Camp Kingsley

  • The Pavillion (commonly called the Bazaar) is no longer available for use due to its collapse.
    • F's for the Bazaar, it took 9 feet of snow to bring you down.

Conditions and Effects

  • Formatted this page so that condition lists are under their respective headers and easier to find.
    • Jinxed and Natural Hazard didn't get on these lists during FF- oops! They are there now.

Encounter Guidelines (PCs)

  • Encounters involving Veilwalkers (the central creatures in the game's ongoing metaplot) currently have no encounter size limit.
    • This is not an invitation to engage in overwhelmingly one-sided fights like a 15 vs 1 against a Veilwalker. The intent is to allow all players to collaborate on the shrine tasks, which are difficult to complete with standard party size restrictions.

Magic Swarm Spell

  • Duration changed to Instant or 10 Minutes, based on if it is being used with tag bags or cast on a weapon.
    • Now if applied to a weapon, it calls for 'Magic!' for the next 4 legal hits or until 10 minutes has elapsed, whichever comes first.
    • This is because as it was previously worded, after being applied to a weapon it would last until the 4 legal weapon hits were consumed with no time limit.

Oil of Magic Swarm

  • Duration changed to 10 minutes to match the change made to the spell variant.
    • Despite a certain Logistics Marshal who will not be named insisting it wasn't there before, this was in fact added in the FF update. Feel free to oil your sword up with this bad boy!

Physically Worn Armor

  • Your armor value is now the value of the armor covering most of your torso.
    • This means that you cannot have bracers with an armor value of 3, with a torso armor value of 1 and say you have 3 total armor. In this case, your total armor value will be 1.
  • If you are not wearing torso armor, take the value of the highest piece of armor you are wearing.

This is a temporary hotfix until we are able to meet at a later date and re-work the current armor rules. We are aware they are overly complicated and make no logical sense, and are working to fix this.

Rare and Extremely Rare Languages

  • Mad Ramblings added to Extremely Rare languages- it exists now!
    • Bahaha I snuck this by everyone in February- take that for not reading the wiki!

Slaad's Favor Ritual

  • Ritual name changed from 'Slaad's Favor' to 'Salient's Favor'
    • Because Slaads don't exist anymore, and Frank said this was my problem.
  • Pages for 'Slaad's Favor' have been removed from the wiki and replaced with the correct name.
    • You will need access to the Scarce Item Lookup to see the changes in their entirety- if you do not have said access, just take my word for it that this was done.

Spell-Like Items

  • Changed the wording in Section 1 ('imbued items') to encompass all imbued item types, and not just ones that cast spells.
    • Nothing actually changed regarding how imbued items are utilized, but the previous iteration failed to mention items that grant alchemical or ritual benefits.

Spell Rules

  • Removed that scrolls can only be written in Common- they now follow the same rules as rituals and tomes.
    • Scribe your scrolls in any known language that you want (just try not to test Log's patience too much)!

The Vargainen Commissary

  • Created a separate page for this organization; all information regarding obtaining Blight, commissary points, ect is now located here.
    • Previously, this information was located on the Alchemy page.
    • The Commissary will be getting new pricing due to the work of the Merchants in town; the tables reflect the current pricing and not the new ones. This will be added in a hotfix prior to next game.
