Hephaistos 2E​

https://sf2e.hephaistos.online/

Armor and weapon upgrades, magic items, augmentations, spells and conditions have all been updated to SF Player Core. Dieties/religion are the the only things remaining from the Playtest Rulebook now that needs to be updated. The SF Player Core also added Archetypes and Rituals, which weren't present in the playtest, so I will be adding them soon as well. For a full breakdown of the current state, as well as future plans, see the Hephaistos 2E roadmap.

Other updates in this release include:

• Added the Khizar ancestry from Murder in Metal City.
• Solarian's Solar Weapon and Solar Flare can now have upgrade Crystals installed in them.
• Fixed Operative Specialization Skirmisher automatically adding the Hair Trigger feat.

Next Feature: Starship-Scale Creatures​

https://hephaistos.online/features

With the Changelog now tracking most things for Characters & Drones, I'll be moving on to the next major feature: the ability to create Starship-Scale Creatures.

Hephaistos 2E​

https://sf2e.hephaistos.online/

• Updated playtest Ancestries to match Starfinder Player Core (see note below).
• Implemented Free Archetype, Ancestry Paragon and Stamina variant rules.
• Inventory section in the Creator and Sheet now shows the base proficiency for each armor and weapon category.

• Fixed incorrect level and descriptions for Contemplative feats Mindrender and Encyclopedic Recall, respectively.
• Fixed Mystic feat Child of the Twilight Eclipse not granting spells correctly.
• Fixed issue with skill increases being applied incorrectly on the Creator > Skills page.
• Fixed inability to increase proficiency or override lore skills provided by Backgrounds and Feats.

Note on Playtest Content: With the official release of Starfinder Player Core, I will be going through and updating everything from the Starfinder Playtest Rulebook. Ancestries are already done, and the rest will come in subsequent Hephaistos updates. Characters made with playtest content will automatically be updated to the official version; Feats, Heritages, Spells and so on that existed in the playtest and no longer exist in official content will need to be reselected. To help disambiguate what is from a playtest and what isn't, I've added a "Playtest" trait which will show on all content that is yet to be updated.

Improvements​

• Changelog now tracks drones.

Bug Fixes​

• Fixed changelog incorrectly tracking updates to Credits and UPBs.
• Fixed incorrect source listed for Starship Systems Auto-Flight Module, Data Link, Focus-Fire Algorithm, and Unification Matrix.

Hephaistos 2E​

• Added filters in the Browse Equipment dialog for weapon range and upgrade usage.
• Started adding support for the Stellar Build Character Sheet PDF. Currently, only the first two pages are filled out (except for fields related to spellcasting & companion), though that will be expanded in future releases.

• Fixed issue with skill increases not being reassignable on the Creator > Skills page after changing Class.

As we approach GenCon and the Starfinder 2E launch, I thought I'd share some stats from all the characters that have been created in Hephaistos 2E.
