What are the rules of the Wishing Well?

• Please do not submit existing designs taken either from official sourcebooks or existing homebrew (unless it’s your own homebrew and you’re willing to share of course)
• You do not need to submit a complete design – for instance, if you have cool ideas for a level 3 and level 6 features, but nothing for level 10 and 14, you can still submit something!

• Please note that we may adapt and modify the design you submitted
• Please note that we may select features from different submissions to create both community subclasses (as in, picking a level 3 feature from one submission, and a level 6 feature from another one…)

Changelog

• Fixed (again) the issue where people where getting locked in the city. With no exit. Forever. You can't leave us, adventurers.
  
• Fixed the endgame cutscene bugging out if you kill both Ving and Orenetis, you happy little murderhobos.
  
• Plant-type monsters now correctly have disadvantage to their saving throw against Blight. Now would be a good time to tell you I'm so bad with plants that I had a cactus die on me. Not my fault though.
  
• Fixed unidentified +1 Crossbow having no description. Allan please add details.
  
• Fixed being able to go above level 12 in the campaign Crown of the Magister. Now I know what you're thinking, but you didn't gain anything by going above level 12. These are not the levels you're looking for.
  
• Killing Cafrain now prevents The Conquest quest from starting. Because he's already dead, so... yea.
  
• Fixed another instance where you could be locked in the city if you managed to become Hated by The People faction during the quest Rescuing Reya. This also fixes the black screen that would occur if you tried to enter the Middle City in the same situation.
  
• Arwin Merton's Story Cutscene will no longer trigger in Crown of the Magister if you failed all secondary quests required for it to trigger.
  
• Dungeon Maker: Fixed many pathing issues that were caused by faulty prefabs.
  
• Multiplayer: Fixed being able to save during invalid moments which could create faulty save files.
  
• Fixed an exploit where you could magically duplicate stack items, breaking the economy harder than Fabricate on tabletop.
  
• Fixed a crash that would occur when casting Dominate Person on a Druid
  
• Multiplayer: Fixed some desynchronizations that could occur when opening your inventory and drag & dropping items to a near-overencumbered ally.
  
• The "Free Action" is no longer consumed during combat when you start moving an item but decide not to instead. Ah, good ol' Free Action, how I missed you.
  
• Fixed Chaos Beckons achievement, it can now be achieved! Which is the entire point of achievements! Huzzah!
  
• CotM: Fixed more errors related to Tower of Magic / Fortress of the Shield.
  
• Dungeon Maker: Fixed using waypoints transporting the party to an empty world map.
  
• Spirit Wolves can now climb again. We fixed their little legs and paws.

Dev Stream with the Team - Wednesday, May 25th 

• We'll be drawing a random viewer to win a full version of Solasta on Steam (Base Game + Primal Calling + Lost Valley). There will be a total of 10 winners for these Steam Keys!
• We'll also be asking questions about Solasta and the 5e ruleset in general, with those answering fastest winning a prized Solasta Sourcebook signed by a few members of the team. There will be a total of 5 winners for these Sourcebooks! (keep in mind they'll probably take some time to arrive since we'll have to ship them)

Important Changes

• Fixed the game crashing when entering Fortress of the Shield (Crown of the Magister).
  
• Fixed being able to bypass Laethar in Cradle of Fire (Crown of the Magister) by using invisibility, which broke the the quest flow and prevented the main story from continuing. Laethar has now been granted True Sight to catch those SNEAKY LITTLE HOBBITSES! THEY STOLE IT FROM US!
  
• Fixed Shallow Grave quest breaking if you chose to denounce Charmer.
  
• Fixed Rugan getting angry and attacking you if you chose to start a fight with Charmer. Friendship ended with Charmer, now Rugan is my best friend.
  
• Fixed recruiting Sitenero blocking the quest "Escort the Prisoners". And the People rejoiced!
  
• In Multiplayer, the game should no longer freeze when fast travel fails because of one character is busy.
  
• Dominion soldiers no longer spawn in Rebellion garrisons. Yea that was kind of akward.
  
• Fixed the black screen that would occur upon arresting or killing Karelia Snowfox in the Confrontation quest (Dominion faction).
  
• Giant Camp Fix - the return of the fix revengence: Hopefully the last instances of the Giants becoming hostile upon entering their camp should now be fixed. If they're still trying to send you to the moon for some of you... send us your save files so we can find out why.
  
• Fixed the Giants quest line being blocked if the party goes to the city BEFORE talking to Gartok after starting the Lost Giants quest
  
• Fixed the end game cutscene sometimes showing the wrong banner if the player sided with the Forge.
  
• Fixed the end game cutscene staying black if the player both killed Sitenero and fixed the major gate
  
• Fixed a game over message triggering when a druid wildshapes while another character is dead (the game did not take into account the druid's spellcasting abilities while wildshaped).
  
• Fixed Fast Aim not working properly with crossbows. Down with the bow hegemony!
  
• Summoning a Kindred Spirit should no longer fully heal the druid. Because that's cheating.
  
• Fixed a desynchronization that would occur in Multiplayer in CotM when giving an item to an NPC to increase faction relations.

Other fixes

• Fixed Hunter's (Ranger) level 7 Multiattack Defense (Defensive Tactics) granting immunity to opportunity attacks.
  
• Fixed Wight Lord & Wights never using their life drain ability.
  
• Fixed Dragons not having Blindsight.
  
• Fixed Crismon Spiderlings portrait being reversed.
  
• Fixed shelves not being placed properly in the Dungeon Maker (Woodlands environment)
  
• Weapon slots should no longer be greyed out when trying to apply a spell or poison on them
  
• Quest functors in the Dungeon Maker should now be able to properly select other quests for quest operations.
  
• Fixed an issue where user campaigns would be locked to their creator after playing them in Multiplayer.

Known Issues

• Errors can occur if Dominate Person is cast on an NPC Druid. This prompt the question: Are Druids people?
  
• Arwin Merton's Story cutscene triggers after failing all the secondary quests during The Missing Piece (Crown of the Magister)
  
• In Multiplayer, a desynchronization occurs if a Stone Barbarian activates Rage and immediately opens their inventory at the same time. How do you even come up with those?
  
• The achievement "Chaos Beckons" currently doesn't work. Put an achivement that can't be unlocked and watch the players suffer, chaos indeed.
  
• Characters protected by Shield of Faith are unable to cast Shield. Shield overflow.
  
• Greater Restoration currently does not remove Exhaustion
  
• Spirit Wolves can't climb. They need spirit surgery for their spirit legs.
  
• Ctrl+S shortcut currently does not work with Dialog & Quest editors (need to save by clicking the save button).
  
• Using a waypoint that has "Exit Location" enabled in a Custom Dungeon will put you on the Crown of the Magister World Map. Yea I guess the party got extra lost there.
  
• The quest item "Forge Amulet" can currently be sold through the Scavenger Board. Don't do it, you won't be able to get it back. Scavengers don't offer refunds.

As a reminder:

• If you want to opt-in to this 1.3.55 Beta, you need to go to the BETAS tab and switch to risky_beta. If you're not seeing the branch, simply restart Steam.
  
• Multiplayer only works with players on the same branch - meaning if you are on the Beta branch, you can only play with people on the Beta branch.
  
• The Beta Branch is only available on Steam as maintaining multiple builds on multiple platforms is very time consuming, and we prefer using said time on testing / fixing more bugs.

Changelog

Important Changes

• Added a party stash in Caer Hyfryd for the party to stash their loot, for all you hoarders out there.
  
• Fixed the Reconnaissance quest (Mask faction) not being completable if the Meeting the Rebellion quest (Forge faction) was completed beforehand.
  
• Fixed the Mutant Giant Ape in Lost Temple's treasure room not dropping its head upon being killed (Quest item). Look, the head just... it never was there OK? I'm the DM, this was a rare breed of headless Mutant Giant Ape.
  
• Fixed the AI sometimes taking too long when multiple monsters were hidden in the fog of war. Biding their time. Plotting your demise.
  
• Fixed The Last Endeavor quest failing upon starting a fight with Sitenero
  
• Fixed Orenetis not giving his scepter to the party after completing the Major Gate quest. You've been bamboozled.
  
• Fixed monsters with legendary actions skipping their turn in Multiplayer. Now bosses are bossy again!
  
• Fixed the exit area in Caer Hyfryd sometimes not reapparing even after completing all the available quests in the city. The guards are just taking precautions with travelers you know, with all the diseases going around in the Valley...
  
• Fixed the final cutscene not playing properly if you leave Lost Valley by force after aiding the Dominion.
  
• Fixed the Primal Threat quest (Rebellion faction) being blocked if you left Dinas Gessa before talking to Ellaria. She's ready to talk to you again.
  
• Fixed a freeze when an NPC tries to cast Light (here's a little secret, NPCs don't have inventories in Solasta... so what happens when they use Light which opens the caster's inventory when cast? Nothing good, that's what)
  
• Fixed a strange case of identity theft where Vando Klarn was declared dead instead of Cafrain when the latter was killed.
  
• Fixed a freeze that would occur if the battle started by using a proxy spell such as Call Lightning. Monster dum dum no understand why lightning hurts them, so monster freeze game.
  
• Fixed being able to bypass the final battle cutscene in Crown of the Magister by teleporting to a very specific spot, which would prevent the final battle from playing out correctly.
  
• Fixed The Prisoners (People faction) quest no correctly failing if Sitenero dies. He's dead, Jim.
  
• Fixed Ellaria being in the entrance of Rebellion's Headquarters instead of properly guarding the magic barrier during the Primal Threat quest (Rebellion faction). Slacker.
  
• The doors in Wizard's Lair can now be opened or closed manually by clicking on them after being opened once.
  
• Fixed an issue in Multiplayer where players could enter the Abjuration Tower after completing the Light Puzzle in Crown of the Magister but the quest would not update, preventing them from rightfully kicking Razan in the shins.
  
• Fixed an issue in Multiplayer where quickly spamming the Finish button while leveling up would allow for a level up without selecting a subclass, depriving the serial clicker from any future class features.
  
• Fixed Meeting the Rebellion quest not failing when failing the intimidation roll after siding with the Forge. What did you expect?
  
• Fixed even more desyncs - keep the save files coming, it helps us a lot in finding the sources of desyncs.
  
• The host can now adjust custom difficulty settings and gameplay settings while in Multiplayer.
  
• Fixed Rugan being able to get stuck in the swamp. Rugan no longer joins your party now, he will rejoin his friends immediately upon being freed. Save files with Rugan being stuck will remove him from the party and complete the quest upon loading.
  
• Hopefully fixed Giants in the camp suddenly becoming hostile when you entered their camp after doing their questline. If not, please send us your save file.
  
• The quest Shallow Grave no longer gets stuck if the party kills Charmer before validating the quest "Find Charmer".
  
• Wolves, Spirit Wolves and Shapeshifted Wolves should now be able to climb and jump again. The wonders of medicine!
  
• Quality of Life: Added a boatload of crafting ingredients in most shops, no more praying for RNJeesus to bless you with lucky drops.
  
• The quest The Prisoners will now fail if one of the prisoners die during the quest.
  
• Added a warning when a player with mods join a Multiplayer lobby. Many desync errors we receive are due to players having mods installed
  
• Added many new assets to the Dungeon Maker
  
• Fixed a spawning issue that could happen if the party entered an outpost, left without attacking it and then came back after leveling up several times.
  
• The People's headquarters' doors are now unlocked if a fight triggers while inside the building.

• Fixed being able to use a ladder in Complex while in battle to change location, breaking the game.

• Fixed the party not being able to talk to Renno in the quest The Last Endeavor
  
• Fixed the endgame cutscene not properly triggering in some conditions
  
• Hopefully fixed an issue that could prevent a Multiplayer game from starting if a player's computer clock was not displaying the right time (yes, that happened more often than you would think).
  
• Fixed an unwinnable fight that could trigger if an AoE spell remained in the cavern when leaving the tutorial area.
  
• Fixed Finaliel's Lab doors being closed when battling Orenetis
  

Other fixes

• Fixed wrong information in quest log after defeating rebels in the Jungle Escort quest
  
• Fixed an error that could occur in the Noren Outpost during the Jungle Escort quest
  
• Fixed Stone Golem not using its Slow power

• Fixed Armor of the Vagrant being impossible to craft even by the gods with its DC 56, it now has a correct Crafting DC 16.
  
• Fixed Holy Weapon dealing the wrong amount of additional damage
  
• Flying Creatures now only fly away from their target if they actually have the Flyby ability instead of suiciding into 3 attacks of opportunity every round
  
• Fixed Periphanos missing from the Throne Room in the end game cutscene when Orenetis is reunited with Sitenero. Someone forgot to invite him.
  
• Fixed the Research Complex being destroyed in the end game cutscene even if The Renewal quest was completed. Fake news!
  
• Fixed movement sometimes not properly stopping when a character detects a trap on the way
  
• Fixed Fire Wall tooltip showing 8d6 fire damage instead of 5d8
  
• Fixed missing icons in the Dungeon Maker
  
• Fixed Iron Golem missing Fire Absorption and Poison Breath recharging on 5-6 instead of 6
  
• Fixed Life Drain not working properly
  
• Fixed dialogs playing too fast in Dungeon Maker cutscenes
  
• Fixed Custom Campaigns being tagged as "Steam Workshop" for their creator (and thus become impossible to edit) after being played in Multiplayer.
  
• Mac versions will now have Volumetric Lighting disabled by default, as many Mac configurations seem to have issues with Volumetric Lighting causing visual artifacts to appear on screen.
  
• Teleporting behind the magical barrier in Dinas Gessa without the Rebellion's approval will now trigger a fight with them.
  
• Fixed Clay Golem missing Acid Absorption
  
• Fixed not having advantage when attacking Monsters who used Reckless Attack

• Fixed Coordinated Defense being usable an infinite amount of time
  

Known Issues

• In Crown of the Magister, using invisibility in the Necropolis of Cradle of Fire when meeting Laethar to bypass the fight and exit the zone will break the quest flow and prevent the main story from continuing.
  
• In the Shallow Grave quest, if the player chooses to report Charmer, the quest will not tell you to go back to talk to Sima - making it look like the quest is blocked (but it's not, don't be shy just go talk to Sima). The Rebel Outpost Quest will now start, although the Shallow Grave quest will still appear incomplete.
  
• In the Shallow Grave quest, if the player chooses to attack Charmer while Rugan is still in his cell, he will join the fight against you. Why, we're not too sure, maybe Charmer is his buddy or something. Anyway, if you want to avoid that you will need to finish A Giant Step quest before attacking Charmer.
  
• In the Shallow Grave quest, the option to incriminate Charmer can be missing. In this case, the only option to proceed forward is to kill him (at least until we fix it). Good lord this Shallow Grave quest got the short end of the stick.
  
• If you decide to recruit Sitenero, the quest "Escort the Prisoners" is blocked and The People questline can no longer be progressed. The only options to finish Lost Valley are either by force by confronting the Redeemers or to kill Orenetis to get his scepter.
  
• In Multiplayer, the game sometimes freezes when fast travel fails because of one character is busy.
  
• Dominion's soldiers may randomly appear in outposts. They didn't get the memo.
  
• Upon arresting or killing Karelia Snowfox and returning to the inn in the Confrontation quest (Dominion faction), a black screen can occur.
  
• Not so friendly giants will still attack the party if the player made their save file inside the caverns before the patch
  
• The end game cutscene may bug out if the player sided with the Forge.
  
• The end game cutscene may bug out if the player both killed Sitenero and fixed the major gate
  
• The Giants quest line is blocked if the party goes to the city BEFORE talking to Gartok after starting the Lost Giants quest
  

As a reminder:

• If you want to opt-in to this 1.3.53 Beta, you need to go to the BETAS tab and switch to risky_beta. If you're not seeing the branch, simply restart Steam.
  
• Saves made in 1.3.53 Beta will NOT work if you go back to the Default branch (not until the 1.3.5x update goes live on the default branch), so do NOT overwrite your existing save files, only make new ones.
  
• As usual, Multiplayer only works with players on the same branch - meaning if you are on the Beta branch, you can only play with people on the Beta branch.
  
• The Beta Branch is only available on Steam as maintaining multiple builds on multiple platforms is very time consuming, and we prefer using said time on testing / fixing more bugs.

Important things to know:

• Beta participation has been reset, everyone is back on the Default branch. If you want to opt-in to this 1.3.52 Beta, you need to go to the BETAS tab and switch to risky_beta again.
  
• Saves made in 1.3.52 Beta will NOT work if you go back to the Default branch (not until the 1.3.5x update goes live on the default branch), so do NOT overwrite your existing save files, only make new ones.
  
• 1.3.52 Beta has not been completely QA'd yet, meaning random things might be broken. Still, we are releasing it in the Beta branch so people who are stuck can continue their playthrough.
  
• As usual, Multiplayer only works with players on the same branch - meaning if you are on the Beta branch, you can only play with people on the Beta branch.

Other fixes

• Fixed Custom Campaigns being tagged as "Steam Workshop" for their creator (and thus become impossible to edit) after being played in Multiplayer.
  
• Mac versions will now have Volumetric Lighting disabled by default, as many Mac configurations seem to have issues with Volumetric Lighting causing visual artifacts to appear on screen.

Known Issues

• Monsters with Legendary Actions will skip their turn in Multiplayer
  
• If the party leaves Dinas Gessa before finishing the quest Primal Threat by talking to Ellaria, that quest becomes stuck and they can no longer progress with the Rebellion faction.
  
• If you did not talk to Orenetis the 1st time you entered the city, it is possible that the next time you enter the city there will be no Exit Area, thus locking you in (no work-around)

Changelog

• Fixed a very large desynchronization issue that would occur with spells, items or magic effects that affect ability score checks. The #1 offender was the magic item "Stone of Good Luck", and spells such as Guidance, Bless and Bane.
  
• Fixed a desynchronization that occurred when you open a monster details in the bestiary

Known issues & Workaround

• If you get "Error loading: Could not recover the necessary multiplayer information from other players" when trying to launch the campaign in Multiplayer, make sure your computer's clock is showing the proper time. If it's not synchronized properly with real time, the security token generated may be invalid, thus locking you out of playing online. This error can also happen if your anti-virus or internet security is blocking the files transfer
  
• Unless you are on the Beta Branch 1.3.48, the giants will turn hostile when you enter their camp
  
• If the exit area disappears when you are in the city, you can still leave by opening the map and fast traveling to the exit, that should automatically get you back to the World Map.
  
  
• If you free Rugan the Giant in the Swamps, do not attempt to explore the area with him in your party. You need to leave the Swamps immediately with him, otherwise he can get permanently stuck - for example, if you manage to teleport into the Spider Cave with him (no solution outside reloading an older save).
  
• Please see the screenshots below if you're confused as to how to guide Rugan outside the swamps.

How to go to Beta branch (1.3.48):

• Right click Solasta in your Steam Library
  
• Click Properties
  
• Go to BETAS tab
  
• Select betabranch in the list
  
• Click OK
  
• The update should download now
  
• To go back to the main branch, just do the same and select "None" in the list.
  
• Reminder: Players on the Beta Branch can only play with other players on the Beta branch, so make sure people you play with also switch to the Beta Branch!
  
• Changelog: The giants in 1.3.48 should no longer be hostile if you enter their camp, unless you saved inside the cave and exit directly in their camp (workaround: leave the cave through the other exit, which leads you next to the Forge Outpost)
