The SOAR V0.6 Update has released!

It has been a bit, and I have picked up some skills since last we saw each other.

I have tried my hand at some layout stuff a bit, as well as doing some pieces here and there (if you're wondering who did the very simple Fever and Bullet stuff or the traits images and style logos? That's me!)

This update brings a whole bunch of changes, and I wanna focus on a few of them to shine a bit of a spotlight on them:

Some new changes!

-Spotlight Tokens, my way of reworking quirks, its a new narrative currency you keep track of, you spend them to do cool things, you earn them by making your negative quirk happen, we will see how it feels, but hopefully it works as intended and makes it so you can't just pick something you'll ignore.

-AOE effects! I was tired of writing "this space and every space adjacent to it" over and over, and making a keyword for it meant I could try something interesting with more abilities, so here we are!

-We got some new foes, including the Rascal, who has art by the incredible @cosmixian on twitter, the Rascal throws coins around the battlefield to bounce bullets on!
With all of this out of the way, here's the actual full changelog!

SOAR V0.6 Changelog!

-Tried something with the layout of some Styles, we will see if it sticks.

-Changed Muscle Guy

-Added a new concept of Spotlight Tokens, changed how quirks work

 >They're fragile, and don't do much damage, but they are annoying and you will almost always deal too much damage to them.

-Added a whole new section about Structure of Play, with more options

 >This adds the CLASH option as well, for those of you who wanted to have a lil bit more options between rounds.

-To account to this new change, starting a fight with a boss at full health gives you some block and inspired

 >I wanted to avoid the obvious situation that was going to show up of players deciding to take a proper rest and then stumble onto a boss fight anyway, this gives you something still.

-Tweaked harm and stress regain on a boss phase defeat, Added a trait to allow people to stand back up once during a boss fight

 >Game was a lil too easy with bosses but I think this should make them sing more
