New Releases
- Dirty Tactics Toolbox has been added as the first book in the Player Companion #20 package! Now player characters have new options for fighting dirty.

Data File Authoring
- Added the InnateAtt component, which is shared between Natural Weapons and any special abilities which may be shown as attacks, but not manufactured, wielded weapons.
- Added the Helper.CountAsNat tag, which is meant to be combined with Helper.WeaponSpec if that weapon like special ability counts as a natural weapon for the purposes of how many natural weapons are present (and if any should be treated as 1.5 str weapons).
- Added the Helper.NatHalfStr tag, which is meant to be applied to natural weapons to override their normal behavior when calculating damage. Even if a weapon is normally primary, this tag will cause it to apply half the str modifier as a bonus to damage, instead of the full bonus.
- Added the wBaseNumAt field and wCurrNumAt fields to natural weapons, which store the number of attacks a natural weapon has normally and currently (which can be important when a natural weapon requires a free hand to use, as with most claw attacks).
- Added the HasNatAtt identity tag group. Natural attacks (and weapon like special abilities that count as natural attacks) will forward their tag to the hero if visible and if there is not already a matching tag on the hero.
- Added the Hero.FullHand tag, which is added by anything that is held in a hand when it is equipped. RaceHands weapons, like claws, reduce their number of attacks by the number of these tags present on the hero.
- Added the extradamwithavg macro, which should be used whenever the extradamage adds actual damage (rather than text like " plus grab"). This is similar to extradamage, but has a fourth parameter which stores the average roll for the extra damage (which is used when calculating average overall damage for a monster).
- Added the ArmorProf identity tag group. Classes and races which are proficient with specific armors can add this tag to convey that. For example, if your class is proficient with both light armors and Hide armor, it would bootstrap the feat for light armor proficiency and apply the ArmorProf.arHide tag.
- The Standard DC calculation for abilities has been consolidated into a single component script.
- Certain weapons for monsters (Manticore's spikes, roper's strands, and tarrasque's spines) from the Bestiary 1 were counting as manufactured weapons, and have been switched over to being natural weapons instead.
- Poisons can now accomodate different saves than the default Fort, by bootstrapping them with an abSave tag.
- The DefSLACaSr tag group has been obsoleted, as we found a more efficient way to accomplish the same aims. Applying the tag group now is ineffective.
I was just replying indicating that I knew I had reported this as a bug previously and didn't need to create a new ticket for it. I understand that you can't possiblely correct every reported bug with each new patch.
