This release adds the ability to generate a randomized list of items from the Character > Creator > Equipment or Campaign > Treasure > Equipment section. Clicking the button next to the tab of equipment types will open a dialog where you can select and filter what you want to include in the generated list.
There are a few more things I have planned to implement for this feature, but as always, feel free to let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.
This release marks the fourth anniversary of Hephaistos' first release, and perhaps the busiest year of development so far. Feature-wise, GMs got more tools, with the completion of the Campaign Manager and the addition of Infinite Worlds and the Tactical Encounter Manager. Content-wise, the release and subsequent implementation in Hephaistos of Starfinder Enhanced gave players plenty of new options as well.
Of course, the biggest news of the last year was the announcement of Starfinder 2E, which eventually led me to start working on Hephaistos 2E. I'm looking forward to the playtest that's just around the corner, to seeing the new iteration of the game, and of course, to supporting it within Hephaistos. The SF1E website will continue to be my main focus, and I intend on completing the features list (https://hephaistos.online/features).
Hephaistos is the product of the wonderful community that supports it. The bug reports and feedback make it better every release, and the Patreon and Ko-Fi donations help compensate the infrastructure costs. So, thank you all for the support.
Added complex filtering for remaining all equipment.
Corruptions are now on the infosphere.
Diamond-Edge and Molecular Rift Arrows, and Tactical and Advanced Missiles now modify the damage of the weapons they're loaded into.
Added an equipment view for browsing equipment to the Play > Treasure section of the Campaign manager.
Vanguard Discipline Entropy Shield now adds a shield to the inventory and a selection to the Quick > Selections tab to switch between it being inactive, a Riot Shield or a Tactical Shield.
Fusions installed in Solarian Crystals now show up on the Sheet > Quick page.
The current filtering capabilities in the Character Creator are relatively rigid and limited, and improving that has been a frequent piece of feedback. This release starts the process of overhauling the filtering system to allow the expression of more complex conditions. Currently, the improved filtering is only available on the Creator > Equipment > Weapon section. It will be rolled out to other parts of the Creator in future releases.
As of this release, I've marked the Tactical Encounter Manager as done, though as always, updates will continue.
The next feature highest feature in the rankings is Random Item Lists, which will allow you to quickly generate a list of random equipment, based on configurable constraints. that could represent loot or shop inventory. If you've got specific use cases for this feature you'd like to see implemented, definitely let me know.
Skill checks, ability checks, saving throws, and strike attack and damage can now be rolled clicking on the appropriate value on the Quick section of the Sheet page.
Added remaining conditions from Pathfinder Player Core
As previously mentioned, the SF2 website is under active development, but I welcome any feedback, suggestions or comments you may already have.
Hephaistos for Starfinder 2E, or Hephaistos 2E for short, is live and accessible from the URL above. Like the website for first edition, this version of Hephaistos has been built from the ground up to support Starfinder 2E.
As with the game itself, Hephaistos 2E is under active development, so you may find missing or broken features. The website also only contains data from Starfinder Field Test #1 to #4, with some bits and pieces from Pathfinder Player Core.
Finally, since the game itself is in a state of flux, characters cannot be saved at the moment. However, you can print a character sheet for any characters you do create.
