3.1 Changes from 3.0

• Added Stake of Woe I – III to allow those characters who choose to hunt Vampires to be put on the same playing field as those who can annihilate spirit vessels.
• Added Essence of the Were-rabbit I – II, due to popular demand.  On par with all other Lycanthropic essences.
• Clarified the Revive skill, with references to Essence of the Vampire I-II and Essence of the Hydra I-II.
• Added NERO Elkins to the NERO chapters who have adopted this package.  Welcome, Matt, to the insanity! J
• Added Essence of the Tyrran Warrior to the Naturalist Skill Pyramid, to allow non-elemental, non-undead and non-lycanthropic path’d characters to still achieve “essence” abilities.  Added the abilities to fall in line and balance with essences already in the packet.

3.0 Changes from 2.5

• Changed Bless of the Fae to Armor of the Fae for logistical purposes.  Also, changed all pre-requisites to reflect this name change.
• Added the pre-requisite “No Elemental Path” to both Magical Skin I and Armor of the Fae I, to bring them in line with other, similar abilities in the packet.
• Added further explanation of Essences (examples – Essence of the Lich I, Essence of the Seelie II) – that any Essence II replaces any Essence I, and only 1 Essence can be on a transformation at any given time.
• Added Lycanthropic Skill Group, as Group #11.
• While adding the Lycanthropic Skill Group, had to remove the stipulation of a maximum of +6 Superhuman Strength limitations, since you can now go to +12 in the Lycanthropic Skill Group.
• Added a clarification of only one Essence active in a transformed character’s skill set at any given time (page 3).

2.4 Changes from 2.3

• Revised wording for Magical Flight I-III to clarify various discrepancies.
• Removed the word “concentration” from Formal Magic Channeling, and also clarified the description of the skill to bring it more in line with the Formal Magic Rules.
• Removed the restriction of Elemental Fury I-III to heal those creatures which are healed by that particular element – it now falls into line with the core rules for this.
• Removed the word “ritual” from the entire packet – replace it with “Formal Magic”.
• Reworked Endurance I-III in the Racial Skill Group to reflect that this skill keeps the PC at 1 body, instead of using a skill while unconscious.
• Redefined the Can’t Catch Me I-III skill not to use Resist Binding, but simply a resist on a trapping-type effect. Clarified this to not use the word binding for ease of use.
• Changed the Scenting skill to Follow That Smell. Removes confusion from the core rule definition.
• Defined Life Lock I-III as a “dumb” ability to be triggered upon the spell being cast on a dead body, not as a PC-chosen action to bring this in line with core rules.
• Let the PCs have a choice of Spellstriking or throwing Arcane spells when choosing either Life Strike III, Strike of Undead Doom III, Elemental Bane III, and Elemental Eviction III.
• Speak with Plants I-III and Speak with Animals I-III has been clarified to include that the local plot team governs how the outcome is played out when using this ability.
• Clarified Boundary of Life I-III so that it clarifies that beings with No Metabolism cannot cross this boundary.
• Clarified Natural Armor I-III
