General

  • Solasta is now playable on Steam Deck! Hurray!
  • AI should now make decisions faster during their turn.
  • Made more optimization changes in all locations which impact the entire game, such as paladin aura or areas with a lot of vegetation.
  • Loot that would drop in unreachable areas (for instance when an enemy is shoved into a pit) will now spawn at one of the party member’s feet.
  • Level 13 to 16 are now available in Custom Campaigns. Note that Crown of the Magister and Lost Valley are still capped at level 12 due to balance reasons and to avoid making the save files incompatible with Palace of Ice.
  • Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Halflings and Half-Elves are all receiving 6 new faces to choose from (3 Male / 3 Female).
  • Incapacitated tooltip now correctly states that it prevents taking action, reaction and movement (unlike the Tabletop rules, incapacitated in Solasta has always been a “skip turn” condition).
  • Frightened tooltip no longer states that target can’t get closer to the source of their fear (this feature had never been implemented so the tooltip was incorrect).
  • The Attunement Menu now separates magic items in each character inventory (instead of showing all magic items) to make it easier to find the magic item you want to attune to.
  • Added feedback when an attuned item effect is not currently active because it is not equipped correctly.
  • Changed the “Allow Attuning Unknown Items” optional setting into “Auto Detect Magic & Identify Items”.
  • Concentration now properly breaks when Incapacitated, Stunned or Paralyzed.
  • Level 5 Spell Mind Twist now affects ALL targets in the AoE instead of enemies only. The spell was just too strong in its current iteration with its AoE CC & damage, overshadowing other spells of the same level and even higher level ones - it’s still as powerful as before but you will have to be more careful about positioning your party.
  • Druid’s Wildshape forms now display the different attacks in the combat UI.
  • Added the Subtle Spell Metamagic (Sorcerer), which prevents enemy from casting counterspell when used.


Items:

  • Armors now have a different icon depending on the character’s body type.
  • Maul of the Destroyer now stuns for 1 round instead of 1d3 rounds.
  • Fixed one version of the Souldrinker Dagger dealing +1d4 force damage instead of dealing +2d4 psychic damage.
  • Fixed some magic weapons giving +1 ATK bonus without giving +1 DMG bonus.
  • Fixed some magic weapons giving +1 / +2 DMG bonus multiple times (once per damage type).
  • Fixed some magic items not having the correct rarity.
  • Fixed passive magic properties not being active if the item isn’t identified and doesn’t require attunement (according to the TTRPG rules, as long as the item doesn’t require attunement, passive bonuses are active whether you are aware of them or not while active bonuses however need to be identified to be used).
  • Rapier of Harmony can now also cast Haste once per day and its bonus psychic damage can no longer be halved by succeeding a WIS saving throw (considering it needs to be attuned and is limited to Bards, we wanted to give it a little more oompf).
  • Removed class restriction for a few magic items, such as Cheater (dagger).
  • Flaming, Corrosive & Flash Arrows / Bolt now deal +1d4 (instead of +1d6) but no longer allow for a DEX saving throw (I mean the arrow already hit the enemy, that’s what the AC is for).
  • Levitating boots can now correctly be used at will (instead of once per hour).
  • Removed Attunement Requirement on some more situational items (or that shouldn’t need attunement in the first place): Boots of Elvenkind, Boots of First Strike, Bracers of Sparkles, Chime of Opening, Pipe of Haunting, Ring of Darkvision, Ring of Feather Falling, Ring of All Words, Ring of the Ambassador, The Amendment.
  • Added Attunement Requirement on Belt of Regeneration and magic items that give damage resistance.
  • Ring of the Lightbringers can now cast both Shine and Light at will.
  • Fixed Staff of Metis giving +2 to Int Skill Check instead of just +2 INT.
  • Staff of Fire’s spells are now DC 17 instead of DC 13 (Staves in Solasta unfortunately can’t use the caster’s spellcasting DC).
  • Dwarven Plate’s tooltip now properly states that it also grants advantage on Constitution Saving Throws.
  • Ring of Regeneration and Belt of Regeneration now properly state that they work only when the wearer is above 1 HP. Note that this is different from the level 7 Regenerate Spell that keeps working even if the target is reduced to 0 HP.

Poisons:

Poisons are a neat little way to deal a little more damage, but it often felt like it was just not worth the effort. A single vial could take as much time to craft as a magic weapon, and it’s single use only. In combat, the low DC would mean monsters would often succeed their CON saving throw, completely negating the bonus damage. On top of which, many monsters are resistant if not straight up immune to poison damage! So, we decided to make a few changes to help our poison-loving friends a little.

  • Fixed vial version of Deep Pain rolling a Dex Save instead of a Con save.
  • Fixed the vial version of Ghoul’s Caress, The Burden & The Long Night saving throw triggering at the start instead of the end of the victim’s turn.
  • Fixed the arrow/bolt version of The Long Night not allowing for a saving throw at the end of each turn and not having the proper duration.
  • Buffed all craftable poisons to deal half-damage instead of no damage on a successful saving throw.
  • Buffed all craftable poisons CON DC from 10 - 15 to the following based on their rarity:
    • Common (DC 11): Basic Poison (+1d4).
    • Uncommon (DC 13): Arivad’s Kiss (+1d6), Arun’s Light (Blinded), Brimstone Fang (+2d4), Dark Stab (+1d8), Maraike’s Torpor (Poisoned).
    • Rare (DC 15): The Burden (Restrained), Ghoul’s Caress (+1d8 / Paralyze), Deep Pain (+2d8), The Long Night (+1d4, +1d4 at the end of each turn).
    • Very Rare (DC 17): Tiger Fang (+3d6).
    • Legendary (DC 19): Queen Spider’s Blood (+3d8 / Poisoned).
  • All poisons crafting duration have been massively lowered (read Crafting section below, consumable).
  • The Spider Queen will now also drop a Spider Queen Poison Gland required to craft the Queen Spider’s Blood (was previously missing from the drop table).

Shops:

 As time went by, we’ve come to realize that some powerful items in Solasta simply do not have the correct price. While there isn’t any issue shelling a couple hundreds of gold coins to get a small boost such as boots that gives you +3 to your initiative rolls, being able to set your Strength to 19 for a mere 1,500 gold by purchasing a Gauntlet of Ogre Power is a little too much. Originally, we wanted to have players find most of their magic items through combat and exploration, with shops (and crafting) being here to compensate for poor RNG. As such, we have decided to make some adjustments to the prices of more powerful magic items. Please let us know after playing some more how you feel about it, as it’s possible further adjustments will be needed.

  • Adjusted the price of most magic items depending on their properties and rarity.

Crafting:

I’m sure those of you who’ve tried crafting magic items noticed, crafting can sometimes take a long time... a... very... long... time. While the long travel distance between locations often offsets that issue in Crown of the Magister, those who’ve experienced Lost Valley probably felt that quite keenly - with many just deciding to chain multiple long rests in order to finish crafting their magic item. Another problem was that the existing system had some inconsistencies, with some uncommon items requiring up to 48h of crafting while some rare ones only needing 24h. This is why we also decided to make some tweaks to the numbers. Once again, if after playing for a while you feel like some things don’t work out quite as you’d like, please make sure to let us know.

  • Base Duration for crafting has been massively decreased to 10h / 12h / 14h / 16h / 18h (Common => Uncommon => Rare => Very Rare => Legendary), while Crafting DC has been increased to DC 10 / 14 / 18 / 22 / 25.
  • Consumables (like poisons and potions) take even shorter to encourage crafting & using them more during your adventure instead of hoarding them, with a base crafting duration of 2h / 3h / 4h / 5h / 6h (same DCs).

This should result in lower rarity items to be much faster to craft, while rarer items actually require a party member to be highly proficient in Arcana (not just anyone can craft very rare items without problems). Don’t be misled by the lower base crafting duration, a higher DC means you will fail crafting rolls more often - so very rare and above items are still a large time investment.

  • Standardized the price of enchantment crafting recipe to 10% of the cost of the final item.
  • Standardized the price of all primed items to cost 100 gp more than the base item.
  • Without taking the primed items into account, the price of the combined ingredients in a enchantment recipe should cost around 50% of the price of the final item.
  • Standardized the names of +1 (Acuteness / Smashing / Accuracy), +2 (Sharpness / Shattering / Sharpshooter) crafted weapons, and +1 (Sturdiness) and +2 (Robustness) crafted armors. Note: Hide Armor of Wilderness is an exception (replaces Sturdiness).
  • Added missing +1 / +2 weapons / armors crafting recipe: Studded Leather +1/+2, Hide +2, Chain Shirt +1/+2, Breastplate +2, Shield +1/+2, Mace +2, Morningstar +1/+2, Rapier +2, Quarterstaff +1/+2, Spear +2, Warhammer +2, Greataxe +1, Greatsword +2, Maul +2, Handaxe +1/+2, Javelin +1/+2, Light Crossbow +2, Longbow +2, Heavy Crossbow +2.
  • Renamed existing Mace of Smashing (+1d6 bludgeoning damage) to Crushing Mace to avoid confusion.
  • Crafting Manuals now have a slightly different icon between consumables, wondrous items, armors and weapons.
  • Tweaked a few recipes to now use all the existing ingredients (some ingredients prior to this update were never used in any recipe).
  • Removed some faulty crafting recipe and items from the Dungeon Maker, such as the scroll of Warding Bond or the duplicate crafting recipe for Potion of Healing.
  • Added Crafting Manuals for level 5, 6, 7 & 8 Spell Scrolls.

Crown of the Magister:

  • Heavily rebalanced the four faction shops so that they all start offering more interesting items on par with the Antiquarians.
  • The Antiquarians will still be offering Wondrous Items (including additional ones that they were not selling before).
  • The Arcaneum will now sell rare Crafting Components and rare Crafting Manuals for Weapon & Armor on top of the Primed Gear necessary to create them. Also lowered the Faction requirement for Primed Gear to avoid locking the crafting system behind a single faction.
  • The Circle of Danantar will still be selling all +1 / +2 weapons and armors - including missing ones that were added as well as the +1 & +2 Wands of the War Mage.
  • The Tower of Knowledge will now sell the Crafting Manuals for Wondrous Items, Magic Staves and Wands on top of selling the existing Poison Crafting Manuals.
  • Spell Scrolls and Crafting Manuals for Spell Scrolls have been redistributed between the Antiquarians, Arcaneum, Tower of Knowledge and the three priests of Caer Cyflen (Priest of Arun, Priest of Maraike, Priest of Pakri) - including the previously missing level 5 and 6 spells.
  • Dalon Lark now sells Potion Crafting Manuals, Bardic Instruments (all 8 of them!) and a few magic items.
  • Gorim’s crafting kits and tools are now sold by Hugo Requer instead. Also added missing Maul & Breastplate to her shop.
  • Added Wand of Identify and Wand of Detect Magic to Hugo Requer’s shop, as well as all previously missing magic focus. He also now sells all the different types of gems, including the valuable 300 Diamond required for Revivify; as well as Crafting Manuals for Basic Poison and Healing Remedy.
  • Circe Gerardoirin (the recipe vendor in the Manacalon Ruin) will now sell Crafting Manuals for +1 / +2 weapons and armors (Acuteness, Sharpness, Sturdiness, Robustness...). The Crafting Manuals for named weapons and armors are now mostly sold by the Arcaneum.
  • A few rare Crafting Manuals have been dispatched to some existing smaller vendors in the world. Make sure you check what they offer!
  • All items in shops except for Crafting Recipes and named magic items will now be re-supplied after a certain amount of time (can be very long for rarer items!).
  • Crafting Components that are neither sold by Arcaneum nor Hugo can now be found in Caer Lem once the Scavengers re-establish their base there.
  • Wilf Warmhearth and Atima Bladeburn in Coparann will now have more furnished inventories similar to those of Gorim and Hugo.

  • Added 10 GP & 1,000 GP “items”, completing the selection of gold piles (1 GP, 10 GP, 100 GP, 1,000 GP and 10,000 GP items are now available) to make it easier to give specific amount of gold.

  • Fixed the Cloak and Dagger feat not showing any feedback in the combat log.

  • Fixed another strange bug where casting Annoying Bee on target after casting Heat Metal on a different one would make Heat Metal damage the bee’d target instead of the original target. This is the proof that bees have transitive properties and heat travels through bees better than through Heat Metal. Hey stop saying “Neeeeerd”!
  • Fixed a rare case where Court Mage Spell Shield would no longer give any Temporary HP after reaching level 7.
  • [CotM] Tower of Magic: Fixed a blocker that could occur if you cast a spell far enough to aggro the Soraks in the Crown Room before the pre-fight cutscene starts playing.
  • [CotM] Failed Optional Quests should no longer appear in the Quest Board.
  • [CotM] Caer Lem: Fixed being able to get a character stuck inside a prison cell by drinking a potion of Spider Climb to get in and letting it run out. Did you get the prison cell ending? Oh, the prison cell ending is my favorite!
  • [CotM] Dark Castle: Fixed a spot in “Find a Way out of the Maze” that could break the main quest when using Misty Step to skip the maze.
  • [CotM] Dark Castle: Fixed an issue that could cause half the party to end up on the wrong side of the door at the start of the fight against Aksha if the party has more than 4 characters (i.e. Kindred Druid pets). I mean you’ve got to admit, that’s a pretty smart move from the boss. What do you mean it’s unfair? GIT GUD SCRUB.
  • [CotM] Dark Castle: Fixed a scenario where you could get into combat immediately after teleporting out from Mardracht’s room if you did not fight Adam on your way to the castle.
  • [CotM] Spy Outpost: Fixed an infinite loading screen issue that could occur under some very specific conditions.
  • [CotM] Volcano: Fixed a potential blocker that could occur if a character opens the sarcophagus while the rest of the party is standing near the door.

  • [CotM] Caer Elis: Fixed a blocker that would occur later in Temple of the Lost God if the player managed to get around the campfire trigger with spells.
  • [CotM] Volcano: Fixed an issue which could make an auto-save corrupted after the fight with Arrok.
  • [LV] Fixed Garden Party Quest not properly appearing completed in the Quest Log if you start it with all the required items already in your inventory.
  • [LV] Fixed a serious bug that would cause a black screen at the end of Lost Valley when siding with The People faction.
  • [LV] Complex: Fixed “The Sphere Prism Key” quest starting if you already managed to enter Dark Lab through another means. Because, y’know... you’re already in, it’s not like you need that key anymore.
  • [LV] Complex: Fixed the Main Key on the Captain’s body only opening one of the two main doors outside instead of both.

  • [LV] Dinas Gessa: Fixed an infinite loading screen that could occur when trying to travel to the Primal Wood after obtaining the Primal Threat quest.
  • [LV] Caer Hyfrid: The quest Secret Report now correctly fails if the player angered Orenetis (since they get kicked from the Palace).
  • [LV] Swamp: The quest The Lost Apprentice now properly fails if Lysantir is killed in his cell before opening the door. I mean you cast Fireball on him, what did you think would happen???
  • [LV] Swamp: Jungle Escort will now properly fail if you kill Hasbrudal. I’m starting to sense a pattern here.
  • [LV] Caer Hyfrid: Made Hannik immortal to prevent a blocker in The Witch Hunt quest.
  • [DM] Fixed the Roll Activator gadget using passive Perception score instead of rolling for Perception.

  • [DM] Fixed Bed_B in Elven Palace, TownInterior, ValleyPalace being improperly rotated.
  • [DM] Fixed the DM Music Tracks showing 4x Wizard’s Tower.

Known Issues

  • Scrolls of Identify are defective and don’t work no more. The Wizard who scribed those scrolls probably wrote a typo somewhere, we’re on our way to fix it.
  • Demonic Greases don't properly work when applied to weapons for now. Our best dwarven smiths are still trying to figure out how to apply them correctly, this isn't exact science. 
  • Rock Gnomes played a little prank by copying the Shadow Gnome's homework and currently have +1 Dex instead of +1 CON. We'll be reverting that once they are out of detention.
  • DM: Mischievous Sprites have taken over the NPC Multi-line dialog boxes, making using them a huge pain as each key stroke will take you out of the dialog box. We've sent a squad of Fey-hating Rangers to take them down.

Upcoming Content & Adjustments (not in current patch)

  • Barbarian Magebane: Spell Crusher changes to Bonus Action (vs Action), can be used Prof. Bonus per Long Rest (vs short rest).
  • Bard Tradition: Manacalon Perfection changes to once per short rest (vs 1 per long rest).
  • Spellblade Fighter: Arcane Escape changes to grant Dodge until the start of your next turn (vs giving you +3 cell movement).

Solasta: Palace of Ice DLC announced for May 2023!

Solasta: Palace of Ice DLC announced for May 2023!

Hey hey people,

Around New Year, we said that we were working on something big... And you've been patient. Very patient! Now, it is finally time for us to reveal the new upcoming DLC: Palace of Ice. By far the biggest update we've worked on so far, Palace of Ice is not only a new adventure - it is the continuation and the conclusion of the Crown of the Magister campaign.


Palace of Ice DLC coming up May 2023

As Caer Cyflen rejoice over the Soraks' defeat in the Badlands, the Snow Alliance cries for help. With the Kingdom of Gallivan suddenly declaring war on their neighbours, there is little doubt that these insidious creatures have agents everywhere – and that they always had contingency plans well prepared.

The Palace of Ice DLC is a high level 10 to 16 campaign that will take your party into the frozen lands of the Snow Alliance. The allies of Caer Cyflen need your help now more than ever, for Soraks are not the only foes that have been sighted lately. Other ancestral creatures have joined the battle, and there is little hope for victory without experienced adventurers to face them.


Don't forget to wishlist Palace of Ice on Steam to help spread the word!

This adventure features:

  • 2 New Ancestries. The Gnome and the Tiefling will become available in the Character Creator!
  • A continuation of the Crown of the Magister Campaign. Unveil the Soraks’ master plan and put an end to this threat once and for all!
  • Returning faces. Import your save file from a previous campaign to continue playing your previous party at higher levels, and meet characters from both CotM and the Ruins of Telema demo! Note that you can also create new characters if you so desire, as they will start at level 10 in Palace of Ice.
  • High-level encounters. Ready yourself, for you are not facing just goblins anymore! Get ever stronger up until level 16 to defeat the mightiest of foes! 
  • Co-op with up to 4 players! Just like the two other official adventures, Palace of Ice is ready to be tackled solo or with friends.

New Dungeon Maker content:

  • Four new environments: Mountain Caves (indoor), Dwarven City (indoor), Dwarven Settlement (outdoor), Snowy Hills (outdoor)
  • New monsters: Monsters from Palace of Ice will be available to use in the Dungeon Maker
  • [FREE] New World Map System: Place your locations on one of the three existing World Maps (Crown of the Magister, Lost Valley & Palace of Ice), link them together and add some spice with Random Encounters during travel!
  • [FREE] New NPC Follower System: Create follower NPCs who can join the party (controllable) to give them a hand during combat!

Free content update for all!

  • Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Halflings and Half-Elves will all be receiving 6 new faces to choose from for free (3 Male / 3 Female)
  • Level 12 - 16 will be unlocked in the Dungeon Maker! Note that the Crown of the Magister and Lost Valley campaigns are still locked to level 12 max due to balance reasons.


Alright folks, this is the end for today! Thank you for reading, and don't hesitate to drop by our Forums or our Discord Server.

Dungeon Maker Improvements (Free):


3 New Classes (Inner Strength DLC required):

Detailed information about each subclass can be found in the following threads:


1 New Race (Inner Strength DLC required):

  • Everyone say hello to the Dragonborn! These fellas get +2 Strength, +1 Charisma, Damage Resistance and a Breath Weapon linked to their Draconic Ancestry. For example, a Black Dragon grants resistance to Acid and an Acid Breath, while a Gold Dragon grants resistance to Fire and a Fire Breath.

General Improvements (Free):

  • Enemies who are immune to certain conditions will now display a text feedback instead of leaving the player to wonder if they are immune or if the spell is just bugged. 
  • Clicking the "Light" button shortcut (bottom left) while having a light active will now extinguish it.
  • Four types of instruments can be found for the Bard to use as spellcasting focus: a Flute, a Lute, a Drum and a Horn.
  • Added a "Toggle" Icon for Sorcerers' Metamagic. While toggled off, you will no longer be asked to select a metamagic option every time you try to cast a spell.
  • Unidentified magical weapons will now properly inflict magical damage. The fact of not knowing its nature does not make it any less magical, after all. 
  • Ready Action will now trigger when invisible enemies come out of invisibility to attack you.
  • Added Eldritch Blast, Viscious Mockery, Hellish Rebuke, Malediction, Dreadful Omen and Hilarity spells to the game (Bard & Warlock)
  • Added a "Fast Loot" system: looting crafting components out of bushes / flowers no longer opens a loot window.
  • Buffed most Kindred Spirits base AC, HP and damage as they were a little too weak. 
  • Added some missing Primed Weapon / Armor to merchants in CotM and Lost Valley. If some are still missing, please do reach out to us!

General Bug Fixes (Free):

  • Fixed new Temporary Hit Points overriding old value even if the previous amount of Temporary Hit Points was higher. It should now always keep the highest amount. 
  • Fixed a rare bug where Kindred Druids could no longer summon their pet until they leveled up
  • Fixed Heat Metal not working properly after the first few rounds. Now you can get back to cooking those Veterans alive, you monster.
  • Fixed a couple of range miscalculations where a spell's range would be slightly lower than intended.
  • Fixed Shield of Faith preventing the caster from casting Shield. "Because that would be too many shields, and THAT'S ILLEGAL!"  - no it isn't, get back to casting Shield you dumdum.
  • Fixed a rare instance where shoving could cause an error. Shove off, error. 
  • Fixed AC stacking incorrectly in some instances. Bygone are the days of Barbarians running around in their fancy Empress Garb for crazy amounts of AC. 
  • Fixed allied NPCs sometimes making ranged attacks by hitting air with their melee weapon. That's... that's not how it's supposed to work Beryl. Use your crossbow.
  • Fixed some tooltips which were showing duplicate and/or empty strings
  • Fixed multiple Hunter's Mark (from multiple Rangers) not stacking properly on the same target
  • Fixed Greenmage's Leaf Scale feature activating when they get counterspelled. Which made no sense.
  • Fixed Bracers of Archery granting damage bonus on melee attacks. AGAIN. HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE FIX YOU. 
  • Fixed Ranger Marksman's Reaction Shot not triggering against spells.
  • Fixed Greenmage's Leaf Scale also not triggering properly against spells.
  • Fixed Dragons missing their Blindsight feature
  • Fixed Shapeshifting as a Balance Druid while another character is dead to suddenly trigger a game over if no one else could cast Revivify. Basically the game went "wait, Druid can revivify, but Bear no can revivify. Druid now Bear, so revivify not possible now. Dead person no can be saved, game over". Oh game, you did your best.
  • Fixed Law Cleric's Holy Retribution text string - and hopefully it should no longer randomly deal damage to the Cleric instead of the attacker.
  • Fixed an issue where Confrontation (Lost Valley) could become impossible to complete if Karelia was killed
  • Fixed an issue where The Lost Apprentice (Lost Valley) could bug out if Lysantir died before reaching Orenetis or Hasbrudal
  • Fixed an issue which could prevent the completion of The Lost Book (Lost Valley)
  • Secret Report (Lost Valley) will now properly fail if you previously killed Cafrain's contact
  • Fixed Berserker Barbarians' saving throw against Frenzy not taking into account their magic items' bonus
  • Fixed bonus cantrips gained from subclasses being into account in the total number of cantrips known when leveling up (preventing the spellcaster from learning more cantrips)
  • Fixed Confusion's area of effect not increasing when upcasted
  • Fixed Marksman Ranger's Recycler not working properly while traveling on the World Map
  • Fixed several issues with Chinese and Russian where some text wouldn't appear
  • Barbarian Rage should no longer work when wearing Heavy Armor
  • Fixed an issue where Wind Druid's Sheltering Breeze could only be used once per long rest
  • Fixed an issue where Hunter Ranger's Whirlwind Attack would do absolutely nothing when used. Well that was disappointing.
  • Fixed an issue where... alright where do I start with this one. If your character falls unconscious while you had their inventory open, and you then use an item from there while unconscious, game goes boom. Congrats to that one guy for finding this bug.
  • Slashing, Piercing and Bludgeoning damage inflicted by spells should now be correctly considered "magical damage" for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity. Because one could argue that spells are, I don't know, magic?
  • Fixed a weird interaction between Rogue's Evasion and Draconic Sorcerer's Elemental Affinity that would prevent Evasion from triggering.
  • Fixed Marksman Ranger's Fast Aim being completely busted and targeting every enemy you hit previously on your turn. It should now correctly only target the last enemy you attacked.
  • Fixed Giant Crows' disease not doing ANYTHING AT ALL. Y'ALL SHALL NOW SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF THE GIANT CROWS.
  • Fixed Barbarian's Rage not correctly ending when they don't attack nor take damage for a round. C'mon they're strong enough already in Solasta, no need for freebies.
  • Fixed an issue where some Kickstarter backers' names were overlapping in Caer Cyflen's monument
  • Fixed an issue where ability scores would sometimes be unable to go above 20 even when intended (like with a Potion of Cloud Giant Strength)
  • Fixed Judgment Paladin's Aura of Righteousness not providing its bonus correctly on spells with multiple projectiles
  • Creatures under the effect of Hideous Laughter will now properly roll a saving throw with advantage when damaged
  • Fixed a case where characters would not become immune to Dragons' Frightful Presence after succeeding their saving throw
  • Fixed A Giant Step (Lost Valley) being stuck if you free Rugan after failing a Persuasion check
  • Fixed Grappled / Constricted conditions not being correctly removed if the character is forcefully moved (teleport / shove / etc). GET DOWN MISTER PRESIDENT!
  • You know how in most tactical games, flyings units take extra damage from bows? Well apparently, in Solasta flying units' weak point was... doors. They would INSTANTLY DIE if you close a door on their face instead of being shoved away. That should no longer be the case. The door meta is over, time to find another exploit against flying units. 
  • Fixed a rare case where Kindred Druids' pet would lose their damage bonus. C'mon they are already weak enough :(
  • Fixed a couple of animation delays that would occur in special circumstances with opportunity attacks, prone opponents etc.
  • Fixed an issue where The Prisoner (Lost Valley) could soft lock if you killed Orenetis prior to starting the quest
  • Failing to convince Orenetis in an important dialog towards the end of the game will trigger the battle as intended
  • Attacking Marin Ving at the end of the game will teleport Cafrain to the combat so he no longer blocks the fight by being out of reach
  • Fixed Oblivion Cleric's Herald of Pain's saving throw to trigger at the end of the enemy's turn instead of the beginning. 
  • Spells cast from inside a Globe of Invulnerability can longer be counterspelled from outside
  • Fixed crafted item disappearing if the crafter is over-encumbered when the crafting completes
  • Fixed being able to cast Black Tentacles in the air
  • Fixed not being able to leave Black Tentacles' area of effect after failing a saving throw once. What is it with you, Black Tentacles? Why are you causing so many problems?
  • Fixed some calculations which made certain spells range slightly lower than intended
  • Fixed Pass Without Trace missing from the Druid's spell list
  • Fixed a bug where Mardracht would be missing from his own cutscenes (wut?)

Multiplayer Fixes / Improvements (Free):

  • Fixed a bug where items could disappear when using "Loot All" if it would make the character over-encumbered
  • Fixed a desync that could occur when a player triggered fast travel while already moving through the blueprint
  • Fixed more desyncs that could occur when manipulating items in the inventory
  • Fixed a rare issue where the party could get stuck in a location if the host tried to leave the area exactly when another player started interacting with something else
  • Fixed another desync that could happen when giving items to the different factions
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent players from joining a lobby when the password was more than 20 characters. Wow those are some long passwords you got there.
  • Fixed a desync that could occur if a narrative sequence triggered while one person is still loading
  • Fixed a funny bug where if a shop is opened while you're checking another player's inventory, both character models would fuse into some nightmarish amalgamation. Ed...ward?
  • Fixed an item duplication exploit which could trigger when multiple players had their inventory open at the same time
  • Clicking on a player's position icon will now move the camera to them
  • Fixed pinging on controller sending multiple pings at once

Dungeon Maker Bug Fixes / Improvements (Free):

  • When playing Custom Campaigns, the game will now also auto-save after changing location / finishing a long rest (5 min cooldown)
  • Fixed the camera behaviour while in dialog in Custom Dungeons
  • It is no longer possible to name a Custom Monster with an existing internal monster name, which would cause other custom campaigns using the same monster to be hidden. That one took some time to find out, thanks to every creator involved!
  • Mana Lamps can now be set as on or off in the Dungeon Maker
  • Fixed loading screens between locations always being the same
  • Fixed an issue where a dialog could be stuck if no matching role was found within the party
  • Added many monsters that were previously hidden in the Dungeon Maker
  • Added many items that were previously hidden in the Dungeon Maker

Known Issues:

  • There is a long delay whenever quitting the Dungeon Maker before returning to the main menu.
  • The Kindred Spirit Druid has a bugged Spirit option with a weird name - do not pick it, it's a placeholder we'll remove in a hotfix!
  • Kindred Spirit's description text still show the old AC, HP and damage values instead of the buffed values
  • Some test characters we played with decided to stick around and made their way into the pregen category, they will be dealt with soon. Those characters are: Corthyn Dosa, Jane Storm, Iela Olfborn, and at higher levels the aptly named Lore08 Bardy and Hope08 Bardy. There are also 4 level 12 characters Burg Dormer, Esbery Dudley, John Guert and Ros Hasting that shouldn't be there because... well who's going to play with max level characters anway?
  • Monks don't get their bonus action attack when attacking while holding a torch. Apparently kicking with a torch in hand is not considered a Martial Art?
  • When picking up loot from the ground, you will often see the message "some items can't fit the inventory" - don't worry, that's a text bug. Unless your inventory is truly full, the items are actually picked up.

Alright folks, time for you head back into Solasta! If you're looking for people to play multiplayer co-op with, make sure to drop by our Discord Server to meet new friends!

Solasta is now available on Xbox One & Xbox Series X/S

Solasta is now available on Xbox One & Xbox Series X/S

Hey there folks!

Just dropping a quick news today to announce that Solasta: Crown of the Magister and its DLCs are now playable on Xbox One & Xbox Series X/S! Read below for more details.


F.A.Q.

How does Game Pass / Microsoft Store work between PC & Xbox?

Purchasing Solasta: Crown of the Magister and any DLC on the Microsoft Store makes them both available on PC and Xbox! The base game is also available via Game Pass on both PC & Xbox.

Are the DLCs available on Xbox?

Yes, all the DLCs can be purchased on Xbox.

Are the save files shared between PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass?

Yes, you can continue your PC playthrough on Xbox and vice versa

Is there Multiplayer Crossplay between PC & Xbox? What about Crossplatform between different Xbox consoles?

Yes, you can play multiplayer with Xbox (Xbox One to Xbox Series X/S) & PC players (Microsoft Store, Steam, GoG) & Mac players (Steam) in the same session!

Is the Dungeon Maker available on Xbox?

While you can download Dungeon Maker maps & campaigns from https://solasta.mod.io/ and play them on Xbox, you can't create custom content directly via the Dungeon Maker on Xbox. The Dungeon Maker was deemed too complex to adapt to pad control, so creating custom maps & campaigns is limited to the PC version for now.

Can I use the pad on PC now?

Not yet! There are many additional requirements before we can submit a pad-compatible version on PC, so it's not as simple as it may seem. 

Where can I get the Game / DLCs?

You can get it on the Xbox store here!

General Improvements (Free):

  • You remember the one time that unlit torch on the wall succeeded its Dex Saving Throw against your Sacred Flame? Yea that's no longer possible, gadgets will now always fail their saving throw.
  • +1 and +2 versions of mauls, spears and crossbows are available at last! Now our dwarven weaponsmith will finally be able to go back to see their family.
  • Added Conjure Fey to the list of available spells. More creatures to summon! That couldn't possibly go wrong.

  • Druidic focus items can now be found in stores, druids rejoice!

  • Added new textures to +1 and +2 Studded Leather Armors

General Bug Fixes (Free):

  • Fixed Druids not being granted Quest XP if they were in Wildshape form. I mean to be fair, how were the quest givers supposed to know they had to give a share of experience to that weird bear accompanying the party? 
  • Polished the jump and climb animations of Druids when in Bear form, which looked a little wonky.
  • Removed non-functional Eyebite scrolls from the game, and fixed the name of True Seeing, Freezing Sphere and Circle of Death scrolls.
  • Some monsters had wrong attack modifiers / AC and other values when compared with their attributes. Those little cheaters. Fixed.
  • Fixed some weapons not being properly oriented when held in characters' left hand. 
  • Wall of Thorns now properly deal slashing damage instead of piercing damage. Why? BECAUSE THAT'S IN THE BOOK, THAT'S WHY.
  • Fixed the crafting panel not showing everything properly when multiple items finished crafting at the same time.
  • Soraks and Werewolves now properly get disadvantage on their saves against Moonbeam. Because that's what the spell's good against. Shapeshifters. 
  • Fixed Kindred Spirit's stats being based on the Druid's animal form if summoned while Wildshaped.
  • Spike Growth no longer affect flying creatures. Because everyone knows Flying-type creatures are immune to Ground Attacks.
  • Fixed Brutal Critical not using the versatile damage die when relevant. 
  • Fixed conjured creatures sometimes appearing as "Unknown" because their own caster was too dumb to know what they summoned.
  • Accidently dragging and dropping an item to the same slot it was already in no longer consumes your action.
  • Elves and Half-Elves just remembered that Hypnotic Pattern is considered a Charm Effect and that they should have advantage to saves against that spell.
  • Action Surge can longer be used when incapacitated as the only thing it allowed you to do was twice the amount of nothing. 
  • The DM has started to keep track of magic item charges, players can thus no longer keep using magic items while out of charges.
  • After re-reading the rules for the hundredth time, the DM also realized that using a spell scroll should prevent the caster to cast a bonus action spell in the same turn. No cheating!
  • Multiple damage resistances / damage vulnerabilities of the same type no longer stack.
  • Cancelling a proxy action with the Escape Key will now correctly refund the action.
  • Fixed Uncanny Accuracy sometimes not working properly for Ranged Weapons and Ranged Magic Attacks.
  • Wand of Winter now correctly casts Ice Storm instead of Blight and Wand of Blight now correctly casts Blight instead of Ice Storm. 
  • Flaming Sphere now correctly gets upcasted when casted by a Shock Arcanist
  • Fixed some high level features / spells such as Volley or Eyebite not triggering battles when used on unsuspected enemies. What was that? Must have been the wind. 
  • Fixed Barbarian's rage resistance not correctly working against magical slashing, bludgeoning and piercing damage. 
  • Fixed Protection from Evil which was working regardless of the enemy creature type. Should have been named Protection from Pretty Much Everything.
  • Fixed Calm Emotion not working properly on allies.
  • Fixed pre-made Barbarian Preka somehow possessing the Protection Fighting Style. This change only applies if you delete your existing Preka character file from the folder though.
  • Fixed Ogres throwing their mace instead of their javelins. I mean granted Ogres are stupid, but not THAT stupid.
  • Fixed Hunter's Mark working with Magic Missile, turning any enemy into swiss cheese.
  • Fixed Detect Magic not properly requiring Concentration.
  • Fixed Arcane Fury not being properly applied to Sunbeam.
  • Fixed Staff of Healing not granting the caster ability bonus that it should.
  • Fixed Pendant of the Healer being permanently stuck at zero charge. Surprisingly the players did not find this as funny as the DM did. 
  • Fixed concentration spells breaking when Druids would lose their Wildshape form.
  • Fixed Wildshaped Druids sometimes become completely undetectable by enemies when stealth.
  • Fixed Magic Weapon being able to target magical weapons, which did absolutely NOTHING. YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR!
  • Fixed any buff / debuff being instantly dispelled the moment the party entered the world map, instead of running its normal duration.
  • Fixed Scrolls sometimes not being usable by casters even though they were part of their domain / oath spell list.
  • Goodberries can no longer be cast on the world map if the casting conditions aren't met (such as not having a focus equipped) 
  • Fixed Preserve Life being able to target creatures above 50% HP even though it only worked on creatures below 50% HP
  • Fixed being able to cast Levitate or Fly on already flying creatures.
  • Fixed grapple characters sometimes not being released from the grapple even after the creature's death. Damn those Remorhaz have strong jaws.
  • Fixed Chain Lightning not prioritizing enemies when seeking additional targets. Melee classes rejoice.
  • Fixed moving an enemy up or down with Levitate being a free action, leading to very fun tactics such as the "Deep Fryer" where the caster would repeatedly dunk an enemy in and out of damaging area spells such as Wall of Thorns. 
  • Fixed a few cases where an enemy would freeze in combat for several seconds before starting to act again. 
  • Fixed... oh lord that one is pretty bad. Fixed the Surprise System in the World Map being inverted. Basically what used to happen is that if your party rolled better than the monsters, you would end up surprised instead - and vice-versa, monsters would end up surprised if they rolled better than the party. This is why late game when your party's perception score became higher and higher you would end up getting surprised more and more often - even more if you were traveling at a slow pace. 
  • Fixed a few cases where enemies would run back and forth like headless cockatrices 
  • Fixed dwarves holding crossbows wrong. Don't ask me why, apparently they just didn't know how to properly hold their crossbow. Must have skipped crossbow holding classes.
  • Removed Large Monster repellent from stairs which made Large Monsters unable to walk up and down stairs in the past
  • Creatures will now play their idle animation after their emote in the bestiary to avoid excessive movement while looking at their stats.
  • Unconscious characters no longer have the right to roll perception against characters in stealth.
  • Fixed Berserkers being permanently in Reckless mode. Yes they be angry, but everyone needs to chill out from time to time.
  • Fixed Gold Dragons not being immune to fire. What is this travesty?!
  • Fixed Druids and Sorcerers previously not being able to use Wand of Lightning Bolt
  • Fixed Spiritual Weapon action remaining visible even after being used during the turn.
  • Fixed Heat Metal adding a duplicate condition every time it was reapplied, granting the target a nice garland of Heat Metal icons on their profile.
  • Fixed Heroism being able to target enemies.
  • Fixed the Dodge button sometimes remaining visible even after being used.
  • Fixed Black Tentacles previously not requiring concentration.
  • Fixed Guiding Bolt not showing any visible light on the target, even though it provides dim light. 
  • Fixed a rare freeze that could happen if a character that is already dying receives more than their max HP in damage in a single strike.
  • Fixed an exploit where Paladins could use an infinite amount of level 1 slots for free smites. You get a smite! And you get a smite! Everyone gets a smite!
  • Fixed Protection from Energy lasting 24h instead of a single hour.
  • Fixed casting spells from scrolls sometimes not taking into account the caster's spellcasting attribute. 
  • Fixed being able to kill your computer when casting multiple unoptimized Faerie Fire. Since Revivify don't work on computers, we decided to optimize Faerie Fire instead.
  • Fixed not being able to cast Acid Splash on adjacent enemies if one of them is large.
  • Fixed not being able to mark Brightwall Shield as a focus
  • Fixed being able to interact with invisible statues during a certain fight which may or may not involve a dragon in CotM

Known Issues:

  • If you get the following error message when trying to start a Multiplayer Campaign "Error loading: Could not recover the necessary multiplayer information from other players", make sure to check your computer's clock time. If it's not synchronized properly with real time the security token generated may be invalid, thus locking you out of playing online.
  • There's an exploit where you can recruit a very important character (prisoner) too early during the DLC campaign, which makes the game go a little banana if it happens.
  • Under certain conditions, the end game cutscene only partially plays out (missing a part) and you will be stuck on a black screen instead of going back to the main menu (you will still be considered having completed the game).
  • In a certain boss fight, if the combat doesn't end because a guard is still fighting but you can't find him, he's hidden in a room and you will need to loot the key on the corpse the boss before opening that room.
  • Do not add characters such as / or \ in your character's name, it will render the character file invalid.
  • Borrowed Luck (Mischief Domain) can be used even when rolling a saving throw with disadvantage
  • Elusive Target (Mischief Domain) can sometimes last an additional round
  • The area covered by Vengeful Spirits (Haunted Soul) cannot be crossed by player characters

Our Team

The founder, Mathieu Girard, was co-founder of Amplitude Studios. For Tactical Adventures, he has gathered a team of experienced industry veterans, all with experience from major publishers or indie studios.

Brought together by our shared expertise and passionate about making games, we plan to remain a small studio of 15 to 20 people, efficient and focused on creating great games with powerful narratives.

We are all big fans of board games and tabletop role playing games, and the objective of Tactical Adventures is to design a unique experience on computers and consoles. Supported by experienced partners, we are a united and ambitious team.

Our Mission

Our goal is to recreate the feel of a tabletop RPG onscreen, through the faithful adaptation of rules and universes.

While computer RPGs have existed for almost 40 years, the technology has progressed, new forms of interaction have been invented, and Tactical Adventures has created some critical evolutions in computer RPG mechanics, which will bring the interactive experience as close to that of a tabletop RPG as possible.
