Version 1.1.1 - 2020-02-07

Minor Update. The changes below are reflected in the Persistent World Player Guide and DM Guide.

The Player Guide has been updated to provide rules for splitting loot when the party cannot agree on who gets what. In the unlikely case that as a party you cannot agree who gets what loot provided by the DM you will have to roll for it. All players involved roll a d20 and the highest roll gets first pick, 2nd highest gets 2nd pick etc.

Version 1.1 - 2020-01-31

This update is pretty much all game-system and documentation related stuff. The changes below are reflected in the Persistent World Player Guide and DM Guide.

Update the log sheet to include a separate column for currency and removed the "saving for" field.

When saving treasure points you no longer have to declare what you are saving for. You can decide what you went to spend them on whenever you like.

You can have a maximum of 12 treasure points. If you start a session with 12 points you will not receive any points at the end of the night.

Players can spend 10 treasure points and 250 gold to learn an additional language.

Players can spend 10 treasure points and 250 gold to gain proficiency with one set of tools. The tool set is included in the cost. This applies only to tool proficiency (Thieves tools, Dragonchess set, Lute etc) and does NOT apply to skill proficiencies.

Major magic items can now be sold by players at a cost of 2 treasure points. Items can be sold in between adventures or during an adventure at the DMs discretion. Note that items are sold "to the bank" and cannot be sold to other players.

Minor, Rare 4,000
Minor, Very Rare 40,000

DMs can now gain session rewards for a character when they run a table. One of their PW characters gains XP, Gold and TP as if they were in the adventure being run. The maximum gold is relative to the character they are applying the benfits to, not the adventure.

Added clarification to player guide in regards to playing at lower level tables.

Added clarification to DM guide in regards to balancing HP at tables.

Added clarification to DM & Player guides in regards to magic items and gold items being non-transferrable. If a PC dies their stuff goes with them and cannot be scavenged by other PCs. Resurrected characters come back with all the stuff they had upon death.
