Apparently foci (as in âan item needed as a focus component for a spellâ) is being renamed to âLocusâ to avoid confusion with focus spells.
Clerics GAIN the holy/unholy trait, depending on their deity. Also, this had to be said: âYou can have the holy trait, unholy trait, or neither, but can never have both the holy and unholy traits.â
The âYou cannot take a Dedication feat until youâve taken two other feats from this archetypeâ clause is now rolled into the dedication trait.
Okay, wizard schools act more like sorcerer bloodlines. Thereâs a list of spells (about 2 spells per rank) thatâs the wizardâs âcurriculum.â They do still get bonus slots, but only to prepare their curriculum spells. At 1st level they gain one curriculum cantrip and two 1st-rank curriculum spells. When they get a new rank of spell, they automatically add one curriculum spell of that rank to add to their spellbook.
OhhhâŚInteresting. The 12-level âFocusâ feats (like Bloodline Focus) instead FULLY refill your Focus Pool. The âWellspringâ feats (like the 18th-level Bloodline Wellspring) are just completely getting the axe.
Three levels of potency crystals: level 1 for regular, level 9 for greater (makes it 2 greater striking), and level 15 for major (makes it 3 major striking)
Shark tooth charm grants a 1 item bonus to the check, and doesnât require being an expert in Acrobatics anymore.
Noble genies are referred to by âthe title of shuyookh (typically adjusted to âsheikhaâ if the genie is female or âsheikhâ for a male).â
Slight name change for the level 4 genie: Janni (plural jann) --> Jann (plural janns). ALL JANNS can grant wishes, even non-shuyookhs. Janns also gain a variant Frightful Presence where non-jann genies take a -4 penalty to their saves. They also no longer have the size-change ability and instead has All Made One, which gives 1d4 elemental damage and a additional arcane spell until they use it again.
Djinni --> jaathoom. Much more of an emphasis on visions and dreams. They have telepathy, but can only do images (not words). No longer immune to acid and resistant to mental/sonic (dunno why they were in the first place). They can shut off their aura. They are now naturally invisible. They can grant a sleeping creature the effects of an augury spell. Can Change Shape.
Shaitan --> jabali. No longer resistant to electricity (that one didnât really make sense to me). 25 foot land Speed now
Marid --> faydhaan. Their skill bonuses got modified a bit, but not enough for it to be noteworthy. They no longer have Rush of Water and instead have Gift of Hospitality, granting a willing creature a 2 status bonus to Society/Diplomacy until they either act hostilely or the genie renounces the recipient as an action. 25 foot land Speed now.
Efreeti --> ifrit (pronounced almost identically, if memory serves). They now have weakness to water. 25 foot fly Speed (instead of 35). They no longer have a size-change ability. Instead they can get wings of fire as an action, granting a 35-foot fly Speed and a damaging aura of fire.
Augury removes the âwealâ and âwoeâ terminology.
Scorching ray --> blazing bolt
Burning hands --> breathe fire
Purify food and drink --> cleanse cuisine. Now has a Heightened 2 entry for an additional cubic foot to the area.
Detect magicâs rank 3 effect now determines âthe rank or level of the most powerful magical effect the spell detectsâ (it used to determine school)
Entangle --> entangling flora. Has the wood trait
Endure elements --> environmental endurance
Meteor swarm --> falling stars. Can deal different damage types: âChoose for the falling stars to be airbursts (sonic), asteroids (fire), comets (cold), or plasma (electricity).â
Ghost sound --> figment. Can now create more than just sounds. You can Create a Diversion with a 2 circumstance bonus when you Cast the Spell, but if it fails against a creature, they automatically disbelieve it.
Fire shield is nowâŚa shield made of fire.
Cone of cold --> howling blizzard. Deals 2d6 less damage. Is 2- to 3-actions. 2-action is 60-foot cone, 3-action is 30-foot burst within 500 feet. The area becomes difficult terrain until the start of the casterâs next turn. Has the air trait.
Produce flame --> ignition. It now initially deals 2d4 instead of 1d4 plus spellcasting modifier (otherwise heightens the same). If you use it in melee, it does d6s.
Plane shift --> interplanar teleport. Instead of tuning forks, its âplanar keys.â
Know direction ---> know the way. It now lets you know the direction of a location you were at within the last 24 hours (last week at 3rd-rank, and at any point in time at 7th-rank)
Alter reality, miracle, primal phenomenon, wish --> manifestation. All those spells are now under one umbrella. So yes, there IS still the âcast a lower-rank spellâ wildcard spell at rank 10.
Hallucinatory terrain --> mirage
Stoneskin --> mountain resilience
Mage armor --> mystic armor
Tree stride --> natureâs pathway. The tree you exit no longer has to be the same species as the tree you enter.
Barkskin --> oaken resilience. Has the wood trait.
Tree shape --> one with plants. Can alternatively merge you with an existing plant for 10 minutes, so you donât become a tree suddenly in the middle of nowhere. Has the wood trait.
Meld into stone --> one with stone. Literally the exact same effect as one with plants, except your AC is 23.
Gentle repose --> peaceful rest
Flesh to stone --> petrify. The target can be made of any organic material instead of just flesh. It now has flavor of stone growths creeping across the targetâs body as it becomes more slowed.
Dimensional lock --> planar seal
Faerie fire and glitterdust --> revealing light. Specifically uses the text of glitterdust. Is now all four traditions. If the creature would be concealed, it instead isnât (like faerie fire). Does not cause blindness on a crit fail like glitterdust did. Has the light trait.
Magic fang --> runic body. 2 greater striking at rank 6, and 3 major striking at rank 9. Affects ALL the targetâs unarmed attacks. All four traditions.
Magic weapon --> runic weapon. 2 greater striking at rank 6, and 3 major striking at rank 9. All four traditions.
See invisibility --> see the unseen. Also grants the ability to see incorporeal creatures phased into objects. Also grants a 2 status bonus to checks to disbelieve illusions
Speak with animals now lasts 1 hour.
Speak with plants now lasts 1 hour (8 hours at rank 4). Is divine, occult, and primal. Has the wood trait. And is now four actions??? (The two-action symbol was printed twice; likely a typo)
Stone tell --> speak with stones. Common, 5th-rank spell now. Lasts 1 hour (8 hours at rank 6). Divine, occult, primal.
Longstrider --> tailwind. Has the air trait.
Tanglefoot --> tangle vine. Has the wood trait.
Mage hand --> telekinetic hand
Shocking grasp??? --> thunderstrike. Super tangential, honestly. 1d12 electricity and 1d4 sonic to one creature (basic Reflex) within 120 feet. Creatures wearing or made of metal take a -1 circumstance penalty and become clumsy 1 for a round if they take any damage. Increases each die of damage for each rank heightened.
Dimension door --> translocate
Tongues --> truespeech
Gaseous form --> vapor form. Has the air trait.
Storm of vengeance --> wrathful storm. 400-foot burst (instead of 360). Rank 10 version has a range of 2,000 feet (instead of 2,200). The âAcid Rainâ and âRain and Windâ is now a âBlizzardâ that deals cold damage and causes concealment and difficult terrain. Can create a 30-foot radius âTornadoâ that flings everyone in the area up 40 feet (no save). âThunderclapâ is no longer an option.
The wish ritualâŚjust see it yourself
Couple more. These ones are conjecture based on educated guesses:
True strike --> sure strike
Color spray --> dizzying colors
Touch of idiocy --> stupefy
Phantasmal killer --> vision of death
Weird --> phantasmagoria
Feeblemind --> never mind. I honestly have no justification for this one; feeblemind is just the only rank 6 spell that would tangentially make sense to be renamed ânever mindâ
