Hotfix 7 - Bruises & Bandages

Hi Everyone,

Please see today's hotfix notes below:

Hotfix (2026-03-03)

• Fixed some missing Motivation bonuses.

• Tweaked the description of Little Help so it is clearer what it does.

• Fixed an issue with certain skill checks (Healing, Lockpicking, Knowledge) that characters should not be able to attempt if their skill value is 0.

• Tweaked several scenes in both chapters related to injuries to make them more logical and consistent.

• Added a new scene in Chapter 1 where a character with healing powers heals an injured party member if they either have the Always Helps trait or their relationship is at least 40.

• Added a new scene in Chapter 1 where the character heals themselves using magic (Lay On Hands).

• Added a camp scene where a hurt character can heal themselves through skill use.

STORY SPOILERS BELOW!

• Tweaked conditions for the "You tried to shove me into the trap" scene. Having the Lunatic trait alone is no longer enough to trigger the fight; now you must be Lunatic + Evil/Aggressive or Imbecile + Evil.

• In the fight following the same scene, the outcome is no longer always determined by who shoved the other. This should now be a fair fist-fight!

• Added extra text to the scene where the party meets the tall cloaked man to explain that offensive spells were temporarily blocked early in the story.

• You can no longer pet the zombie (I know, it's sad).

• Tweaked the conditions for selecting who attempts to pick the first room's door.

• Tweaked the scene where the party first meets the tribe.

Cheers, Dice
