Bleach Hereafter RPG

version 1.6

Hey guys and gals, time again for a slightly larger than normal update to the game mechanics. This time around we are making adjustments all over the place! Among these... your total reishi pool is getting a buff, some techniques are seeing changes, and we're introducing some neat Racial Perks for your characters to use! Hope you enjoy!

Also, just as a heads up, the Christmas Patch is being rolled back. The changes were never updated into the official handbook, but as of now it has been officially rolled back.

BASIC & STANDARD TECH CHANGES

Below you will find changes to some of the techniques that were either a bit too good or just overused to the point that they needed to be reigned in a bit. All in the name of that sweet sweet balance!

CASTER CLASS CHANGES



OLD! REVITALIZE
Any effects you use that restore an ally’s HP now also grant them +10 Defense for 1 turn, beginning at the start of their next turn. They also regain 10 Reishi and increase their Base Reiatsu Level by +15% for the remainder of that thread. If no ally is present, or if you prefer, you may target yourself instead and receive the same bonus.

NEW! REVITALIZE
Whenever you use a healing technique or spell that recovers HP, you take 50% less damage from all attacks and sources on your next turn. This includes direct and status damage. Three times per thread.




STATUS EFFECTS

Cripple, Stun, Immobilize, and Stagger Status Effects across the board are reduced down to only 1 turn upon first affliction. You can still stack them but they aren’t as punishing initially. Plus, there are still many ways to mitigate them.




RACIAL PERKS

Something that has been requested for awhile is finally making it into the game! Racial Perks will be small bonuses that come with picking a certain race; Shinigami, Arrancar, Quincy, or Fullbringer. (Visored do not get one as they already get a perk with the Hollow Mask technique as well as retaining the Shinigami Class Perk.)

SHINIGAMI - As a passive effect, while you are at or above 75% full health, increase your defense by +10. As a passive effect, when you are at or below 25% full health, increase your bonus damage with all attacks by +3.

ARRANCAR - For each combat turn, if the total amount of damage taken (after modifiers) is at least 10, as a passive effect, you will naturally negate -5 damage from that total.

QUINCY - For each combat turn that you do not use any actions to attack, you will passively regain +5 Reishi. Does not apply if you are already at max Reishi. All non-basic techniques/spells cost -5 less Reishi.

FULLBRINGER - Gain one extra use of a single release tech during combat. This must be notated in your battle tracker at the beginning of combat.
