Advanced Rulebook available online in PDF / HTML format

The Advanced Rulebook, which covers Master & Heroic lists, is available in PDF and HTML format again under the Rulebook section of the website:

www.knightrealms.com/game-play/rulebook.html

A few quick notes:

1) The Advanced Rulebook is listed as "March 2014" to keep it in sync with the Core Rulebook. I'll try to release updates to both of them at the same time from here on out.

2) The current edition of the Advanced Rulebook covers the latest versions of the Master Lists, and the rules that cover learning both the Master & Heroic lists. The Heroic Lists themselves are still being clarified, and will be added to future editions of the Advanced Rulebook as they become available.

Please note: There are many changes to the Master Lists, including how they are learned. Please review them and make sure you understand how your skills work.

When reading the new Master Professions, you may notice a new trait called Combo. Here's what that means:

Combo: This skill is designed to be used in conjunction with other skills or attacks. Skills with the Combo trait are incompatible with each other, but may be combined freely with other skills.

In addition to the appropriate Master Warrior skills, the Swashbuckler skill Feint has the Combo trait.

The prerequisites for the Master Professions are missing, and the old prerequisites for Arch Caster are listed before its skills. (There's also a bit about using Ritual Tools as your casting focus, which is now outdated)

Good catch with the requirements. We'll take care of that.

Ritual tools still exist. They are the Tier 3 option on sorcerer, ceremonialist, and elder.

I was more referring to the fact that casting foci are destroyable by normal means that destroy items, but holy symbols in particular have a specific way to be destroyed, without getting into a whole long thing about why that seems like it shouldn't be the case.

The list also says that perfect form can be purchased 2 times. Is this the case?

Tori,

You make a relevant point. We'll discuss it.

Nathaniel,

This is correct. We've limited what Perfect Form can be used with, but balanced that by increasing the maximum purchases and not requiring you to expend the skill you're enhancing.

Are the skills Slay and Perfect Form losing the Piercing Trait?

Yes.

Are the pre-requisites for the Master Lists missing from this document? Arch Caster has Prerequisite 4 Rank IV Casted Abilities listed which I believe was the old criteria. I don't see anything about the 100 build in an appropriate lower list, nor do I see the mapping for which lower list leads to each master list.
