Oddity High 0.9 Changelog

CHANGELOG

GENERAL
* Replaced all instances of Focus and Friction with Advantage and Disadvantage, respectively
* Alphabetized the order of Playbooks (instead of having the backer Playbooks at the end)
REAL-LIFE
* Updated How Can I Help? to make it slightly more clear whose Condition is being cleared.
* Clarified the trigger for Fiercely Independent
* Adjusted Irrefusable's trigger and fixed a typo in its name.
* Tightened up the trigger window for "Oh No You Don't"
* Replaced Here's a Better Plan with "What? No!" for the Tsundere's Angle Moves
* Replaced Gofer with Here's a Better Plan for the Bystander's Flexible Moves
(Simply put, nobody in any playtests ever caused Gofer's circumstances to occur regardless of if anyone had the move, so we moved Here's a Better Plan to the Flexible Moves and gave Tsundere a new move that fit the prickly and slightly adversarial nature of the Angle.)
* At Least You're Pretty has "Treat a 7-9 as a 10+" as part of its results.
* Gave All the Right Places an option for if the Lead Writer would choose no option.
* Renamed Top Heavy to Figurative Thinking
* Renamed Damsel in Distress to Too Cute to Cry
* Renamed Public Exposure to Public Display
* Renamed Hot and Bothered to Eyes on Me
(The first two were renamed because they were overtly gendered; the latter two were renamed because they were just a bit too raunchy for Oddity High)
* Fixed a bolding and punctuation error in the Idol's Perks of Fame
* The Idol no longer starts with an additional Flexible Move
* The first option of Rival Idol additionally affects make a break for it as well as going your own way.
* Fixed a typo in the Idol's Backstory questions
* Things Are Fine increases Manipulation instead of Empathy
* Replaced Tutor with Cog in the Machine
(The "helpful tutor" aspect of Things Are Fine was taken up by the Prodigy's new Angle; as such, Things Are Fine was reworked to emphasize its focus of working within (and as a part of) the system.)
* Writing My Way Out now increases Sense and reduces Manipulation
* Added an additional requirement for A Moment's Respite
* Reworked Club Paragon - instead of being extra-good at whatever your club is, Club Paragon now means that the faculty will do whatever it can to support your club, which is an extremely sharp double-edged sword.
* Big Sibling now increases Empathy instead of Sense
* Changed the result of Do You Know Who I Am's first option.
* Gave the Noble a new third Experience trigger: Successfully defend someone from a threat
* Hobbyist now has the proper move text
* Shadow Operative now reduces Manipulation instead of Empathy
* Replaced Young Genius with Wiki Friend and replaced its moves with Trivia is Trivial and Tutor
(Young Genius wasn't a good Angle - it pigeonholed any character that started with it and it was often a major design issue. It's replaced with Wiki Friend, which is focused on being a personable and helpful awkward genius)
* Replaced Arcane Thought Processes with How Does This Work?
("+1 to a stat with a catch" is frankly unexciting for a move, and there's no real reason for a player to take it when advancing instead of just getting a +1 to Brainpower)
* Fixed the spreadsheet's omission of Reading Faces
* Gave Makes Sense to Me an active effect involving seeing through deliberate obfuscation
OTHER-LIFE
* Slightly adjusted Who Am I? to make it more open-ended
* Added an additional ability to Dominant Emotion
* The Interface now gets a +1 to Guts and a -1 to Empathy in addition to its current modifiers
* Slightly adjusted The Purpose's text
* The Leash now raises stats based on its Deal, and lowers any stat
* Fixed a mislabeled Deal for the Leash
* Fixed the spreadsheet's omission of A Little Too Stealthy
* The Volatile now raises either Guts or Strangeness and lowers Brainpower
* Control Thoughts can no longer target members of the Gang
* Fixed Flight having Pyromancy's text
* The Warper now raises any Stat by 1 and lowers Strangeness by 1
* Serendipity now allows you to get the full help of a target instead of just succeeding on a talk it out roll
* Slightly adjusted the text of Reality Shift to make its effect more clear
* Fixed a reference to a nonexistant move in Human...ish
* Removed needing to use a friendship from Tag-Along
* Unfucked the Mascot spreadsheet's Advancements
* Tweaked one of the Smiler's sharp-implement aspects in order to be more generally useful
* Renamed High-Functioning Sociopath to Caring Is Something Other People Do
(There's no reason for a Sherlock reference in 2022, much less an ableist one)
* Replaced Goody Two-Shoes with Clean, Precise Cuts
(Much like Arcane Thought Processes, Goody Two-Shoes was just an Advancement and that's boring)
