6 months ago The character engine is stateless, so it doesn't know the order in which bonuses and purchases are acquired. So for perks with varying costs, I had to decide which ranks to apply bonuses to. It seemed at the time like as though ranks tended to get more expensive as you went up, so I made the bonus always apply to the top-most ranks, but this actually varies. I think GoHR is the only one that has the bottom rank as the most expensive.
I suppose the engine will need to be more flexible about how it optimizes bonus rank assignment.
Gift of hateful retribution is granted by sourcerer as your base class as an option. When upgrading to a higher tier of Gift of Hateful Retribution, you are just supposed to pay for the difference in cost between the two, but it charges the difference in cost +1
e.g. if I'm a sourcerer, going from Gift of hateful retribution rank 1 to gift of hateful retribution rank 4, it should cost me 3cp, but it costs me 4.
