Improvements​

  • Added Trap builder under GM Tools.
  • Technomancer Magic Hack Adaptable Spell Knowledge now includes descriptions for all of the spells.
  • Drones are now loaded with the characters, instead of being a separate API request, mitigating situations where they could be lost due to API errors.
  • Voidglass ammunition now provides bonus to damage when installed in a weapon as described.

Bug Fixes​

  • Dragonkins are now correctly shown as qualifying for the feat Minor Draconic Form (provided they meet the Charisma score prerequisite).
  • Fixed inconsistency in the damage bonus provided by the Voidglass special material for Scaling Weapons.
  • Fixed incorrect description for the Efficient Administrator feat.

  • Fixed website freezing if items in the inventory were sold or removed while their sidebar was open.
  • Fixed Dragonkin ancestry feat Aerial Dash listing a prerequisite when it shouldn't.
  • Fixed Dragonkin ancestry feat Dual Bond being incorrectly named Bonded Transposition.

  • Fixed general feat selection not behaving as expected when more than two instances of the Human ancestry feat General Training are selected.
  • Fixed the alloted number of languages for Vlakas being one fewer that it should be.
  • Fixed the number of used skill increases being calculated incorrectly under some circumstances.

Homebrew As mentioned above, this release adds the first part of the Homebrew feature allowing you to create custom content in Hephaistos. Currently, this only supports Feats, but the plan is to support everything. Next up, I will be adding support for homebrewing equipment, starting with weapons.

Part of creating homebrew is being able to apply mechanical effects (numerical bonus to skill checks, granting a feat, and so on) and this is done in Hephiastos 2E through a bespoke scripting language called "Dragonscript". This release also adds documentation for Dragonscript (aka Dragonscript 2E, since it's been rebuilt for the second edition system). Like Hephiastos 1E, I do eventually plan on adding an infosphere so you can easily find IDs and examples, but in the mean time I'm happy to help with that stuff.

Galactic Ancestries The next major Starfinder book Galactic Ancestries is coming out later this week and I just wanted to mention that I will be focusing on adding content from it into Hephaistos. Most of the content should be in by the next Hephaistos release (13th April), and all of it should be in by the release after that (27th April).
