Shard Powers Activate
Agonizing Blast, Bardic Inspiration, and Sneak Attack
These features and 100s more now have built in automation to making playing the game on Shard easier than ever.
Today, we released a major update to the character sheet, chat, and the die roller. A new block on character consolidates actions, bonus actions, reactions, free actions, and features that modify or enhance other actions. It also incorporates active spell effects and conditions, both of which provide additional options or modify existing ones.
Class Art
The art we commissioned for each class represented in the Shard Player’s Guide has been added to the book and attached to each class. You can now see this art in both the book and when picking a class in Shard. I’m stoked about it and couldn’t be prouder of the work Anderson Maia did to realize these classes. We hope you enjoy it too.
Extending 5E
Part of the appeal of 5E is the large variety of settings and game styles available. While they all build on top of the core 5E game mechanics, these settings and styles also frequently bring their own twists as well. Many of these we have been able to support just by allowing the creation of everything from custom races and classes to items and custom types. Working with content providers, we have also discovered the need for more basic changes to the character sheet. Our new support for extensions addresses this need.
Custom Pact Boons
We released a content update to the Shard Player’s Guide this morning that makes Warlock Pact Boons a custom type. This change was made to allow additions, extensions, and replacements to the list of pact boons available from various otherworldly patrons.
Existing Warlock characters will need to reselect their pact boon from the level dialog. Pick Level Options will appear at the top of your character sheet. Just click on that, scroll to level 3, and click the new Pick Warlock Pact Boons button.
