This update brings two new big things: A new tank class; the Blood Death Knight. And most importantly, a health overhaul.

From now on, players will start gaining max HP based when they level up. Enemy damage was adjusted and the max hp given by gear and talents was too; the S'kellak's Blessing fate now grants +100 Max HP.

Prominence II RPG v3.0.2

Player Damage Increase

Due to scaling being harsh in the early game, this update focuses on buffing the player, specially in the early game, to ease out starting the modpack. Players who don't have good builds will also benefit from it, being now strong enough to go through the campaign (and even low tier mythic bosses).

Specifically, the rebalancing introduced in v2.0.0 was reworked to no longer have stamina hits (First hits being stronger than the rest) and the global -50% damage reduction was removed, due to this, technically damage was also nerfed (scaling is a lot stronger) but due to the player having double damage now, the end game damage is really similar.

For those who liked the difficulty from 3.0.1 and 3.0.0, I am planning on adding new features into difficulties later on, and adding the same scaling as an optional feature.

Balance Changes

These damage changes affect mostly the early game, making it less punishing, while also affecting the endgame similarly to how it was previously (and has been since the v2.0.0 update released last year)

Player Damage

• Increased player damage globally by +50% (Actually removed the previous -50% reduction)
• Dynamic damage now starts applying after 10 damage is dealt.
• Dynamic damage no longer gets ignored on the first hits, stamina hits were removed.

Talents

Other

• Increased minimum of Ashes of the Stars to 15%, maximum to 35%
• Increased minimum of Omniscience to 7%, maximum to 25%
• Reduced damage of spellblade spin attacks by 40%
• Obliterated newest spell oil from spellblade
• Disabled Auto Swap from Spell Engine

Other Changes

• Added new main menu song

Prominence II RPG v3.0.0

v3.0.0 - A New Beginning

This update does NOT need a world reset, but it is encouraged due to how much stuff has changed, but it is ultimately up to you!

Important Changes

• The Hasturian Era Begins. This update introduces both the final chapter of Void's Invasion, and the start of Hasturian Era.
• Complete Talent Tree Overhaul, featuring 16 passives, 9 active abilities and +100 stat talents!
• Player Leveling! With talent points earned every 2 levels! The maximum level in Hasturian Era is 65, if you update from void's invasion, your level will be set automatically.
• Artifact Upgrade Trees. Upgrade your artifact with its own upgrade tree that contains stat increases and passives!
• Mob Scaling, tied to player levels with multiplayer support.
• New Class: The Bard, a new custom class that buffs allies by playing music, with different buffs depending on the instrument, and they can even ANY song too, by just drag and dropping the MIDI files! This class will be expanded further in updates with custom armor sets and spells too!
• New Ability Books:
  • Warrior's Codex (Melee Burst Skills)
  • Rogue Handbook (Melee DPS Skills)
  • Tome of the Eternal Winter (Melee DPS Skills)

Their recipes were adjusted to require this item, which is dropped by campaign bosses or made using mythical essences! Making these useful items accessible later on in the gameplay.
• A rewritten Void's Invasion. Following an Elden Ring inspired writing style, and focusing more on the story with slightly cryptic indications.
• Spanish Translations! The Void's Invasion and Hasturian Era storylines are now also in Spanish. This does not apply to other questlines due to it being a very time consuming task for me. Other languages aren't planned as of now, as I only speak english and spanish.
• A lot more! The changelog is too big for it to fit in a Discord message, so go read the full changelog in CurseForge or Modrinth!

What's coming next?

Prominence II RPG: Hasturian Era

v3.0.0 - A New Beginning

This update does NOT need a world reset, but it is encouraged due to how much stuff has changed, but it is ultimately up to you!

Important Changes

• The Hasturian Era Begins. This update introduces both the final chapter of Void's Invasion, and the start of Hasturian Era.
• Complete Talent Tree Overhaul, featuring 16 passives, 9 active abilities and +100 stat talents!
• Player Leveling! With talent points earned every 2 levels! The maximum level in Hasturian Era is 65, if you update from void's invasion, your level will be set automatically.
• Artifact Upgrade Trees. Upgrade your artifact with its own upgrade tree that contains stat increases and passives!
• Mob Scaling, tied to player levels with multiplayer support.
• New Class: The Bard, a new custom class that buffs allies by playing music, with different buffs depending on the instrument, and they can even ANY song too, by just drag and dropping the MIDI files! This class will be expanded further in updates with custom armor sets and spells too!
• New Ability Books:
  • Warrior's Codex (Melee Burst Skills)
  • Rogue Handbook (Melee DPS Skills)
  • Tome of the Eternal Winter (Melee DPS Skills)
• Corruption System. A high risk high reward system where you get stronger but fall into madness. With integration between talents & artifact tree passives.
• Infusion System. Find infusion smithing templates to infuse Etyr and Corruption into any weapon, armor, or tool.
• Cinderstone Trophies. A new item has been added that allows you to craft QoL items such as the Explorer's Compass, among others. Their recipes were adjusted to require this item, which is dropped by campaign bosses or made using mythical essences! Making these useful items accessible later on in the gameplay.
• A rewritten Void's Invasion. Following an Elden Ring inspired writing style, and focusing more on the story with slightly cryptic indications.
• Spanish Translations! The Void's Invasion and Hasturian Era storylines are now also in Spanish. This does not apply to other questlines due to it being a very time consuming task for me. Other languages aren't planned as of now, as I only speak english and spanish.
• A lot more! The changelog is too big for it to fit in a Discord message, so go read the full changelog in CurseForge or Modrinth!

What's coming next?

• v3.0.5 - Hasturian Era's First Boss Coming shortly after v3.0.0, this update will add the first boss of Hasturian Era, along with the first quests leading up to it, and Thunderwrath's Overhaul (Including Upgrade Tree).
• v3.1.0 - Cinderstone Depths This update will bring the new Cinderstone Depths dimension, and for the first time in Prominence, the capital city of Vaaz.
