Version 5.7 is now released

[Mathias]

Hello everyone, a new version of Savage Worlds is now available from the automatic updates mechanism within Hero Lab. Many thanks to CapedCrusader, who handled the building of this update.


Here's the change list:
Enhancements & Changes

• --- Core Updates ---
• Stackable Armor now stacks correctly with standard armor rather than replacing it.
• Cat, Small now has the description included.
• The Fleet-Footed Edge has been moved to Background Edges.
• Hide.Edge and Hide.Hindrance tags have been created, and filters for them are now active on the Edges tab.
• A Derived Trait has been added for Running Die, and it can be turned on and off (it defaults to off) in the Configure Your Character window and can be adjusted through the Derived Trait Personal Adjustment. It will take a while for everything that adjusts Running Die to catch up with automatically adjusting it.
• The list of affected objects is as follows (these all automatically adjust the value):
  • Core
    • Creature Abilities: Fleet-Footed (d8); Fleet-Footed (d10); Slow (Pace 4)
