explosive kinetic damage, fusion grenades deal explosive solar damage, etc. Some creatures (swarms,
explodie bois, etc) will be vulnerable to explosive damage types.

CHAPTER 2: CLASSES
● Explosive grenades: Flux, magnetic, fusion, tripmine, incendiary, suppressor, flashbang, storm, scatter.
● Explosive supers: Blade Barrage, Fist of Havoc, Tectonic Fist, Thundercrash, Forgemaster, Scorched Earth,

BLADEDANCER
● WAY OF THE WHISPER

NIGHTSTALKER

differentiate the super ability from Vanish.

CHAPTER 7: COMBAT
● Updated the text between the Shot Capacity property and the Reload action to match each other.
● Added subsection to Damage Types explaining explosive damage.

CHAPTER 8: LIGHT ABILITIES

● Added subsection to Targets, “Overlapping Areas,” which stipulates that the effects of the same Light abilities
on the same space or target don't combine, and only the most potent effect applies. For example, if a 13th
level Stormcaller casts a Pulse grenade on the same space that a 5th level Stormcaller’s Pulse grenade
occupies, any creature affected by the grenades would only take the damage of the 13th level Stormcaller’s
grenade.
○ In the event of a tie, only one effect applies.

PGB 0.9.5 UPDATE
Highlighted items are changes that were made between the preview of the update and the launch of the update.
We’re trying to fit as much as we can into the last few update days we have—that’s why we’re at 0.9.5 instead of
0.9.3, too, because a bunch more got added now instead of later.

GENERAL CHANGES

melee weapons and firearms.

which you can become Combat-Prone, and Blink causes invisibility.
■ Escape Artist now procs on melee attacks, not using Blink.

CHAPTER 3: GHOSTS
● Changed the wording so that it’s a Restoration USE, not Restoration point, that you track.

CHAPTER 5: EQUIPMENT
● WEALTH & GLIMMER
○ Changed the maximum amount a Ghost can store to 250,000. The 62,500 amount was a
programming joke, but we’re coming up on v1.0 now, so we gotta get serious. Which does mean,
eventually, the “What is the Darkness?” bit will be removed.
● WEAPONS
○ Noted that any weapon that can be used with 5e can be used for D&Destiny.
○ Noted that tracking shot capacity is almost entirely optional and will only affect gameplay balance if it
costs an action or bonus action to reload the weapon.
○ Renamed the non-firearms table to the General Weapons table.
○ Specified that weapons belong to both a category (simple or martial) and an archetype (melee,
ranged, or firearm).
○ Split the simple firearms and martial firearms into two separate tables, re-organized how they are
presented.
● ADDITIONAL GEAR
○ Noted that the glimmer required to make an item is not an arbitrary value based on the traditional
correlation of supply and demand, it is literally the amount of glimmer you need in order to make the
item out of glimmer.

CHAPTER 6: CUSTOMIZATION
● Removed the Dual Barrel change that was previewed, as we’re keeping the radius-vs-diameter differential
after all.
● Attunement section removed, as it is no longer relevant to the PGB.
● Field Scout radius to proc reduced to 10 ft.
● Full Draw now grants the Finesse property.

● Surrounded radius increased to 15 ft.

CHAPTER 7: COMBAT
● GHOST ACTIONS
○ Resurrect action now allows you to immediately take actions, bonus actions, and reactions on your
initiative like normal.
○ The little nib about how to take Resurrect action based on paracausal force was removed.

CHAPTER 8: LIGHT ABILITIES

● Added a picture to help explain the difference between drawing a radius effect on a grid, and drawing a
diameter effect on a grid.
CHAPTER 9: ADVENTURING
● SKILL CHALLENGES
○ Added a new function of skill challenges, the Ideal Check clause. Basically, your Architect states what
the ideal checks for a skill challenge are, and if you don’t use one of those checks, you have
disadvantage.
○ Added the option of using skills, tools, and toolkits in a skill challenge.
● PARACAUSAL FORCE
○ Lightly re-organized this section to hopefully give a better idea of how, exactly, paracausal force
interacts with the base rules of the game: by modifying them. The Light Zone is the bog-standard,
nothing-has-changed force, while all other forces apply different conditions.
○ Added a blurb that paracausal force is not a linear scale, and that the forces listed here are not the
only forces that exist.
○ It now costs a Restoration point for your Ghost to take the Resurrect or Heal action in a Light zone,
following the rules in the Combat chapter like normal. Your Ghost can still resurrect you on its own—
again, following the Combat chapter rules for the Resurrect action like normal.

AG 0.5.5 UPDATE
● EXOTIC WEAPONS
○ Tommy's Matchbook: Changed the timing of the burning damage to make the effect easier to
understand, and increased stacks required for fire/solar resistance, since damage is now delayed.
○ Buzzard, Edgewise, Exit Strategy, Tlaloc: Their perks that originally required attunement
(Osmosis, Demolitionist, and Swashbuckler) are now updated to current versions, and do not require
attunement.
○ Abbadon, Ace of Spades, Divinity, Gjallarhorn, Graviton Lance, Ice Breaker, Loaded
Question, Necrochasm, Nova Mortis, One Thousand Voices (Innate), Oxygen SR3, Sunshot
(Perk and Innate) The Colony (Innate), Thunderlord, Xenophage, and Zen Meteor (Innate):
Explosive added as a property of some part of the weapon. Weapons labeled as (Innate) had their
weapon damage changed, otherwise the weapon had a perk's damage changed.
○ The Last Word: Last Word perk updated to increase critical hit range by 1, instead of specify 19-20.
○ Dragon's Breath and Anarchy: The burn/arc trap damage now ignores damage points of 50 or
below, instead of all damage points/having old high-impact. (The Dreadnaught ain't taking that
damage).
○ MIDA Multi-tool: Updated The MIDA Touch to be in line with current High-impact.
○ Xenophage: Removed the high-impact effect from Pyrotoxin Rounds as machine guns already have
high-impact inheirant to them.
○ The Recluse: Damage changed to 1d6, to remove confusion about a potential 1d2 damage die.

equal to your maximum for superclass charges.

GUNSLINGER
● Updated wording on Hot Shot to reflect changes to high-impact.
● Weapon of Choice can no longer be a weapon with the Automatic Fire property.

a relic of an older class build.

○ WAY OF THE ARCSTRIDER
■ Open-hand techniques allows you to apply arc damage to unarmed strikes.

CHAPTER 5: EQUIPMENT
● Define final toolkit list.
● Expanded toolkit options and better defined how toolkits work and what you can do with them.

is just to lay down the very basics of what a vehicle is. The stat blocks, features, expanded
mechanics, etc of vehicles will be going into the AG.

weapon attack.
■ Combat-prone altered to include what the heck to do with Light attack rolls, etc.
■ Electrified has a 50% chance to proc now (roll of 3 or lower).

PGB 1.0 PUBLIC UPDATE

Grammar changes were made across the whole document, and only one minor mechanical change occurred because
of them: the Voidwalker (Harbinger of Knowledge) had its Vortex attunement incorrectly listed as a 10-ft radius. This
has been corrected to a 5-ft radius.
