Improvements​

  • The Ring of Fangs now adds a weapon to the inventory when equipped.
  • Weapons in the character creator and Infosphere can now be filtered based on whether they target EAC or KAC.
  • Feats in the character creator can now be filtered based on type (Combat, Drone, Teamwork) and if they have no prerequisites.

Bug Fixes​

  • Vehicle price on the Sheet > Quick page now includes the cost of all modifications.

Infosphere​

https://info.hephaistos.online/

  • Added Polymorphing rules from AA2.
  • Starship Other System options (eg. options for TIMs or VI tiers) now show their cost.
  • Added Services (Lodging, Professional Services, Recharging Stations and Transportation).

Polymorph Forms​

You can now design Polymorph Forms as part of the Polymorph spell. This can be done from the Creator > Class > Spells section by expanding Polymorph spell. Under the description of the spell itself, you'll now have an area where Forms can be created, deleted and edited. Once created, Polymorph Forms will appear on the Sheet > Quick page as their own tab next to the Weapon & Spells tabs, from where they can be activated or deactivated.

This functionality is only available for the Polymorph spell at the moment, but I do plan on expanding it in future releases to items (eg. Polymorphic Serum., Spell Amps etc.) that can have Forms associated with them.

Starfinder Enhanced​

Starfinder Enhanced will be officially released later this week, and adding all the new stuff from it will be my main goal for the next few Hephaistos releases. I will be focusing on adding the new "enhanced" features first, then the new class options, followed by new species, themes, archetypes, spells, feats, equipment, and the rest. After that, I'm also interested in supporting some of the new/variant rules, especially the Free Archetype variant and the new uses for Resolve Points.

Since the character creator and Infosphere are generated from the same source, all of the data will be appearing in both places at the same time.

As always, my priorities are subject to feedback, so if there's something in the book you'd like to see in Hephaistos, definitely let me know.

Improvements​

  • Operative Specializations that provide a bonus to skill checks for trick attacks now add an entry to the Situational Bonuses section.
  • Added Starship Combat rules from the Core Rulebook and Character Operations Manual to the infosphere.
  • Solarian class feature Sidereal Influence now adds an entry to the Selections tab which can be used to choose graviton or photon skills.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed old deprecated "Selections" still having an effect on the character
  • The Crusader Mystic Connection now correctly grants Advanced Melee Weapon Specialization at level 3.
  • Fixed typo in the Vulkarisu species trait Guileful Tricks.

Infosphere​

  • Added tactical rules from the Core Rulebook to the infosphere.
  • Added environment and trap rules from the Core Rulebook.
  • Equipment lists in the infosphere can now be sorted.
  • Added Starship Crew Action Critical Effects and Boarding rules from the Starship Operations Manual.

In addition to the improvements above, the Infosphere is also a "Progressive Web App", which means that if you're using a Google Chrome (or another Chromium-based browser) the Infosphere will be cached locally and can be used offline. You can also install the Infosphere to your desktop or home screen (e.g. documentation for Chrome)

With these updates, I think the Infosphere is in a good enough place to call "done", though, obviously, I will continue to maintain, improve and add data.

Next Up: Improved PDF Exports​

https://hephaistos.online/features

As mentioned in the last release, the next feature off the block is "Improved PDF Exports". In addition to supporting other PDF sheets for characters, I will also be adding support for at least the offical Mech and Vehicle sheets. As before, if you have any suggestions for PDF sheets you'd like to see supported, definitely let me know.

Data​

  • Added data from Angels of the Drift #2.
  • Added missing species Kaa-Leki (from AP 38).

Improvements​

  • Attack and damage rolls for spells can be rolled from their description in the sidebar.
  • Added support for Augmentation & Weapon Manufacturers.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed Soulfire fusion not adding charisma modifier to damage.

  • Fixed some feats prerequisites checking for the ability to spells incorrectly.

Infosphere​

https://info.hephaistos.online/

  • Added NPC arrays, grafts, adjustments and universal creature rules.
  • Added Creature Companion grafts.
  • Added Augmentation & Weapon Manufacturers.
  • Added summary descriptions from Interstellar Species for species.

With this release, all the data that exists within the Hephaistos database has been added to the Infosphere. There are a few minor things I'd like to do before calling the base feature "done"; I also want to know what data and features you'd like to see on the Infosphere?

Looking Ahead: Improved PDF Exports​

https://hephaistos.online/features

The next feature at the top of the rankings is improving the PDF exports to support sheets with a different layout and/or room for detailed information. So, what are your favorite PDF sheets to use for Starfinder characters? I'd also welcome suggestions for drone, starship, mech and vehicle sheets.
