- Command Capacity: 2 apprentices. Detachment Limit: 2.
- Starting Pool: 3 dice (1 personal + 2 apprentices).
- Hit Points: 4 base, plus armor.
- Starting Specialties: 3 Advancement Points on the Witch's Specialty Menu, priced by tier.
Flavor¶
You did not learn to control it. You learned to survive asking.
Somewhere behind you is a teacher who taught you three things and refused to teach a fourth, or a fen where something old still answers if you know how to ask, or a bargain you made once and have spent every year since paying down. Whatever the shape of it, you are a channel for something that was never entirely yours, and you have made your peace with the fact that it will not always answer the way you want.
You do not lead a household. What gathers around you is a circle, apprentices and the merely curious rather than soldiers, and their dice are as much a part of the working as your own. Your strength comes from two things at once: from the number of hands there are to gather it, and from what accumulates in the quiet, unremarkable moments of a fight, the misses nobody else would bother to notice. And from what you are willing to risk when you finally spend it.
A knight's household holds because he says it holds. Your power holds because something older than you agrees to lend it, for now, on terms you do not fully control. When a working goes right, it is uncanny and disproportionate, a curse landing clean through an enemy's whole guard, a fog rolling in exactly where it is needed. When it goes wrong, it does not always ask who is standing nearby.
How the Witch Plays¶
This document assumes familiarity with Core Resolution (the shared Pool, hit ranges, and the bank-and-push loop), Wounds and Fatigue (Hit Points, wound direction, death and return), and Command Capacity (Company size and Bond), all in core-rules. Only what is specific to the Witch is detailed below.
The Circle (Command Capacity)¶
Starting Command Capacity is 2, rising to 3 at Level 9 (see the Level Table). A Witch's Retainers are apprentices or curious hangers-on rather than soldiers, and they matter less for the blows they land than for the dice they add, because every die in the Witch's shared Pool is a die that can bank Mana. Magic of this kind does scale by gathering more hands, which is the opposite of what an earlier draft of this class claimed, but each hand is a modest one. A Witch's Pool tops out at 6 (3 personal dice plus 3 apprentices), the smallest of the classes whose Pool grows at all, well under the Knight's and Skirmisher's 8.
A Witch who wants a larger circle can purchase one more apprentice with the Fourth Apprentice Specialty (see the Specialty Menu), the one place in the game Command Capacity is ever bought rather than granted. It is a deliberate, Witch-only exception, capped at a single extra hand.
Personal Dice¶
A Witch begins play with 1 personal die at Trained (5-6), deliberately the weakest personal die of the classes whose Pool grows, because the Witch's power lives in Mana rather than in dependable hits.
Additional dice. The second die arrives at Level 3 and the third at Level 7. Each is yours, rolled from your Pool, and each enters play Untrained, hitting only on a 6, then sharpens up the ladder (see the Level Table). When a die arrives you choose its Source, a Bonded Beast, a Guardian Spirit, a Bound Weapon, or the Killing Art (see Sources of the Second Die); a Familiar, read as a Guardian Spirit, is the natural fit. Entering Untrained costs the Witch almost nothing, because Mana banks on 1s and 2s no matter the hit range, so a low die feeds her either way.
At Level 9, Mastery of the Craft (below) lifts her two established personal dice to Skilled (4-6); the third, still the youngest, reaches Trained. A master Witch grows toward a state where almost none of her dice are wasted at all. The widening is her personal dice only, never the apprentices.
Hit Points¶
4 at First Level, before armor. Armor adds on top: Light +1, Medium +2, Heavy +3. This is the class's baseline under the Level 1 Hit Point table (see character-creation, Hit Point baselines).
Designer's note
The baseline runs inverse to how much a Company can soak. The Witch fields a Cabal and fights from behind it, keeping most direct hits off her Card, so the personal number sits low at 4. Her survival is meant to come from position and Wards, not from a deep Card. [PLAYTEST] The gradient is chosen, not yet confirmed in live combat.
Mana and the Old Craft¶
The dice that miss for everyone else are the ones you were listening for.
Any die in the Witch's shared Pool showing a 1, personal or apprentice, may be banked as Mana rather than counted as a miss. This is a choice made each time a 1 appears. A banked die is set aside and leaves the Pool for the rest of that turn's resolution. Mana accumulates across the whole fight and resets only between fights, unless a specific effect says otherwise.
Because a banked 1 is no longer in the Pool, it does not block a Blitz. A Blitz is read on the dice that remain in play: if every die still in the Pool has hit, the turn Blitzes. This is what lets a Witch reach a Blitz at all. Her lowest dice, the 1s that would otherwise doom the roll, become Mana and clear the way. A Witch who banks two 1s from a Pool of three is left rolling a single die that need only hit to Blitz, the same position as an Errant, though without the Errant's chain kit. A Witch's Blitz grants the standard bonus Action, which she most often spends casting a spell for free, drawing on her banked Mana, rather than rerolling.
Deep Listening (Level 5)¶
At Level 5 the Witch learns to hear more of the quiet. She may now bank 2s as well as 1s: both faces may leave the Pool as Mana. This roughly doubles her Mana flow, and it widens the path to a Blitz, since a 2 now clears out of the way alongside a 1 rather than sitting as a dead miss. Deep Listening is the class's signature, the point its casting crosses from occasional into a real tempo.
Mastery of the Craft (Level 9)¶
At Level 9 the Witch's own dice stop wasting faces. Her two established personal dice, the first and the second gained at Level 3, widen from Trained to Skilled (4-6), so each now either hits (4-6) or banks as Mana (1-2), with only the 3 left over. The third die, gained at Level 7 and still the youngest, has by now sharpened from Untrained to Trained and stays there. Combined with Deep Listening, this is the hyper-efficient state the class builds toward: a master Witch is either striking or storing on almost every die she rolls. The widening applies to her personal dice only, never the apprentices, because a Pool-wide hit-range boost would be the runaway Company buff the game forbids elsewhere (see the Chancellor's first design decision).
Designer's note
[PLAYTEST] Pushing the personal dice one tier further, to Elite (3-6), would waste no face at all: every personal die a hit or Mana. That is the true break point the class is designed to approach, and it is held back as a playtest-gated option rather than shipped, so we can see whether Skilled is already enough.
Casting¶
A spell has a minimum number of successes required to work. To attempt one, the Witch commits banked Mana dice, at least as many as the spell requires, and rolls them against her own personal hit range (Trained, and Skilled after Mastery). Each die within that range is a success. If the roll meets or exceeds the minimum, it works. If not, the spell fails, and the Mana is spent either way.
Committing more Mana than the minimum only ever improves the odds of clearing the threshold; it never makes the effect bigger. If every committed die hits, that is a Blitz by the standard rule, and the dice may be picked up and rolled again for a chance at a second casting from the same commitment.
Casting happens two ways. Off a Blitz on an ordinary combat roll, the Witch spends the bonus Action to cast for free, at no cost beyond the Mana itself. On an ordinary turn, she may instead choose to cast deliberately, at the cost of that turn's attack entirely.
Single-Target Curses¶
Cheap, precise effects aimed at one enemy.
| Cost | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | Force a reroll of any single die already on the table, ally or enemy. |
| 2 | Deal 1 damage to an enemy directly, no attack roll required. Bypasses Guard entirely, since it was never a combat hit to begin with. |
| 3 | Grant an ally a Guard-style negation on their next incoming hit, or strip an already-banked Guard token from an enemy, at range. |
Battlefield Control¶
Pricier, area-wide effects. Difficulty follows the same 1 (easy) through 4-plus (rare, extreme) scale as single-target curses, but each tier costs a notch more Mana for equivalent difficulty, since touching a cluster or a stretch of field does more work than touching one Card. Committing more Mana than a spell's minimum only ever improves the odds of success; the area affected is fixed per spell and does not grow with additional Mana.
| Difficulty | Example Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 (easy) | A small patch of ground becomes difficult terrain, denying Speed to anyone who enters or starts a turn there. |
| 2 (moderate) | A bank of fog denies ranged attackers within it any target beyond melee range. |
| 3 (hard) | A sudden storm halves Speed for every combatant on the field, friend and enemy alike. |
| 4-plus (rare, extreme) | All combo reading is suppressed for every Character in the area for the round, or the ground itself becomes impassable. |
Area effects touch everyone within the area by default, allies included, unless the Witch commits 1 additional Mana above the spell's cost to exempt her own side. This is deliberate: the Witch does not have perfect, surgical control over weather and terrain any more than she has perfect control over a curse. Standing near a Witch mid-casting carries real risk.
Combos¶
The Witch does not read Pair, Triple, Straight, or Set. Mana and casting are the class's entire signature system, occupying the same design space that combo-reading fills for other classes rather than sitting alongside it. This is not a gap; it is a deliberate, complete substitute.
Worked Example¶
Worked example
A Level 5 Witch commands a small circle: 2 personal dice at Trained (5-6) and 2 apprentices, also Trained, for a Pool of 4. She has Deep Listening, so she banks 1s and 2s.
On her turn she rolls 6, 2, 1, 4. She banks the 2 and the 1 as Mana (two Mana gained), and both leave the Pool. Two dice remain: the 6, a hit, and the 4, a miss. Not a Blitz, since the 4 is still in play and missed. She pushes the 4, hoping to clear it; it comes up 5, a hit. Now every die remaining in the Pool has hit: a Blitz. She spends the bonus Action to cast for free rather than reroll, committing three banked Mana at a curse that deals 1 damage directly through the enemy captain's Guard.
Note what happened: the two lowest dice on the table, the ones that would have wrecked anyone else's Blitz, were exactly what fueled the working and cleared the path to it. That is the whole class in one turn.
Starting Specialties¶
The menu a first-level Witch spends its 3 starting Advancement Points on. Costs are the standard Specialty tiers (see character-creation, Starting Specialties): universal picks are open to any Character, picks marked Witch only are this Class's own, and a requirement in parentheses must be met. Spend the 3 points however you like across the menu: one Tier 3 pick, a Tier 2 plus a Tier 1, or three Tier 1s.
- Arcane Ward (2 AP, Witch only): spend Mana to reduce incoming damage; keeps the caster up.
- Hex (2 AP, Witch only): 2 Mana to Stun an enemy.
- Dice Alteration (2 AP, Witch only): spend a 1 to nudge another die a face.
- Sympathetic Siphon (3 AP, Witch only): bank allies' 1s as Mana.
- Iron Constitution (2 AP): +2 Hit Points against a base-4 Card.
The Fourth Apprentice is not a Level 1 option: it requires Command Capacity 3, above a Level 1 Witch's 2.
Specialty Menu¶
Bought with Advancement Points through ordinary Advancement, priced by tier (see character-creation, Advancement): most at 3 AP, the standard combat and utility picks at 2 AP. The menu is meant to grow; these are the launch set. A Witch cannot afford all of them and its Bond investments too, so each is a real choice.
Sympathetic Siphon¶
Cost: 3 AP. Witch only.
Flavor. Every failure in the room is a thread you can pull.
Effect. Whenever an ally within 10 squares of you rolls a 1, in combat or on a Check, you may bank it as 1 Mana. The whole party's misses become your fuel. The range keeps it from scaling without limit in a large host.
Arcane Ward¶
Cost: 2 AP. Witch only.
Flavor. The power you hoard will spend itself keeping you alive, if you ask it to.
Effect. As a reaction, when you take damage, you may spend any number of stored Mana; each Mana spent reduces that damage by 1. Mana becomes armor, at the cost of the working you were saving it for.
Dice Alteration¶
Cost: 2 AP. Witch only.
Flavor. A word under your breath, and the die lands a hair differently.
Effect. When a die in your Pool shows a 1, instead of banking it as Mana you may spend it to shift one other die in your Pool up or down by one face. This competes with banking that 1, so it is a real choice each time a 1 appears.
Hex¶
Cost: 2 AP. Witch only.
Flavor. Not fire, not fog. Just a small wrongness that stops a swing before it starts.
Effect. Spend 2 Mana to apply Stunned to one enemy: they lose their Action on their next turn, though their Move remains (see core-rules, Part Nine). A precise single-target counter that reuses the named Condition rather than inventing a new state.
Overdraw¶
Cost: 2 AP. Witch only.
Flavor. You can always have more, if you are willing to give up the sure thing.
Effect. You may treat any die showing a 6 as if it showed a 1, banking it as Mana instead of taking the hit. Trading a guaranteed hit for fuel is usually a poor bargain, which is exactly the point: this is the overdrive for the moment you need Mana more than you need the blow. It is the class's deliberate flirtation with breaking, and the dial we watch most closely.
The Fourth Apprentice¶
Cost: 3 AP. Witch only. Buy once. Requires Command Capacity 3.
Flavor. The circle has room for one more.
Effect. Raise your Command Capacity from 3 to 4, admitting one more apprentice and taking your Pool to a maximum of 7. This is the one place in the game Command Capacity is purchased rather than granted, a deliberate, Witch-only exception, capped at this single hand and available only once the Level ladder has already brought you to 3.
A Named Focus¶
Cost: 3 AP.
Flavor. A staff, a skull, a ring that was old before you were born.
Effect. While you carry the Focus, each of your own natural 1s banks as 2 Mana instead of 1 under The Old Craft. It adds no die to your Pool; personal dice come only from the class ladder (see weapons.md, Named Weapons). The Witch's take on a Named Weapon, tuned to the working rather than the blow. [PROVISIONAL: replaces the retired +1-die effect; pending sign-off.]
The Besom¶
Cost: 3 AP. Witch only. Level 5 and up.
Flavor. The broom does not carry you. Something agrees to hold it up, and you with it, for as long as your hoard keeps asking nicely.
Effect. You keep an enchanted besom, the broom, staff, or bound bundle of birch is yours to picture, and may ride it into the air. Rising or landing is a Free Interaction on your turn. While aloft, your Speed increases by 3, measured freely in any direction, and you ignore ground-based difficult terrain, including hazards and Speed denial your own Battlefield Control lays down; you pass over screens, low cover, and intervening bodies.
Melee enemies cannot reach you unless they have reach of their own, can fly, or pull you down, but you have no cover at all: any enemy able to attack at Range may target you freely, and a witch aloft is the plainest mark on the field.
The broom flies on borrowed power. To stay aloft you must keep at least 1 Mana banked; if you spend your last Mana while aloft, you descend at the end of that turn, so you cannot empty your whole hoard into one working and stay in the air.
The broom grants no charge, and so enables none of the charge-keyed effects Rider does (see the Rider Specialty in universal-specialties, Mounts and cavalry, and the Lance Kit in kits); you trade the horse's straight-line charge for flight. If a Hit is assigned to you while aloft, or you are Stunned or otherwise lose your Action, you may be knocked from the broom at the GM's call, handled as a dismount (Rider, universal-specialties): you fall, lose the broom's benefits, and must remount as an Action or in downtime. Like The Fourth Apprentice, this is bought later than first level, gated to Level 5 (Deep Listening) and above, once the class has the Mana flow to keep a broom in the air.
Designer's note
[PLAYTEST] the 3-versus-2 price against Rider, the Mana leash, the Level 5 gate, and whether a fall from height should deal damage a horse's dismount does not.
The Familiar¶
Cost: 2 AP. Witch only.
Flavor. A cat, a toad, a hare, a raven that watches too closely. It was yours before you asked, and it keeps what you cannot hold.
Effect. You keep a bonded familiar. It does not fight: it adds no die to your Pool, reads no Combos, and deals no damage, so it is not a Kit and does not evade the one-die rule (see companies-and-command, Part One). It moves on its own small Speed and can go where you cannot.
It does two things. First, it carries your power between fights: up to 2 banked Mana that would otherwise reset at a fight's end stays with the familiar and is yours again at the start of the next fight, the one thing in the class that survives the reset (see Mana and the Old Craft, above). Second, you may cast a single-target curse as though you stood in the familiar's square, measuring range and line from it, so it can carry a hex around a wall or into a press you cannot see past.
The familiar can be attacked and driven off as an ordinary creature; if it falls, any Mana it carried is lost and it returns to you after the fight or in downtime.
Designer's note
[PLAYTEST] whether carrying 2 Mana is too strong a head start and should drop to 1, and whether remote casting through it wants a range limit.
The Poppet¶
Cost: 3 AP. Witch only.
Flavor. A knot of hair, a scrap of cloth, a thing that was theirs. What you do to it, you do to them.
Effect. As an Action, bind one enemy you can see to a small effigy, at a cost of 2 Mana. Only one enemy is bound at a time; binding another, or rebinding after the target Falls, takes another Action and another 2 Mana.
While an enemy is bound to your poppet, your single-target curses against that enemy stop rolling to hit: they land at their minimum threshold, no casting roll. In addition, you may twist the poppet as a single-target curse, spending 2 Mana to deal 1 damage that bypasses Guard and apply Stunned (see core-rules, Part Nine), with no roll.
This is the offensive face of the same sympathy that feeds Sympathetic Siphon, and a focus-fire tool rather than a general upgrade to the curse table: it costs a turn and Mana to set up, holds one target, and does nothing to the rest of the field, which is what keeps it from replacing the base curses.
Designer's note
[PLAYTEST] whether auto-landing curses plus a no-roll Stun on one target is too much reliable single-target lockdown, in which case the twist loses either its damage or its Stun.
The Coven Working¶
Cost: 3 AP. Witch only. Requires at least 2 apprentices.
Flavor. Alone you ask, and something answers as it pleases. Together, hands joined, you do not ask. You insist.
Effect. Once per Combat, on a deliberate cast (spending that turn's attack entirely), the circle commits as one. Treat the Mana you commit to that casting as though it were one full difficulty band higher than it is, letting you reach a working you could not otherwise afford, including the 4-plus rare and extreme band (Battlefield Control).
At least two apprentices must be present and standing in your circle to join hands; if the circle has been thinned below two, the working is not available. This differs from The Fourth Apprentice, which buys another hand: the Coven Working is the hands acting in concert, and it is the intended gate on the class's highest tier of magic, the reality-bending 4-plus effects the Witch builds toward (see Growth Potential, below).
Designer's note
[PLAYTEST] whether once per Combat is the right frequency, and whether reaching the 4-plus band this early wants a Level gate as the Besom carries one.
Level Table¶
Like the Squire, Ranger, and Errant, the Witch grows a standalone signature system rather than combos. It keeps the universal 100 XP per Level (see character-creation, Advancement). Both its axes grow to a small ceiling: personal dice to 3 (Levels 3 and 7) and Command Capacity to 3 (Level 9), for a maximum Pool of 6. Deep Listening at Level 5 is the signature, and Mastery of the Craft at Level 9 the capstone.
| Level | Fixed class grant | AP granted | Cumulative AP (incl. 3 starting) | Personal dice (Hit Range) | Cmd. Cap. | Pool |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | die at Trained (5-6); Command Capacity 2; Old Craft (bank 1s, they leave the Pool); Casting; curses; battlefield control | 3 (starting) | 3 | 5-6 | 2 | 3 |
| 2 | — | 2 | 5 | 5-6 | 2 | 3 |
| 3 | Second personal die (choose a Source), enters Untrained (6) | — | 5 | 5-6, 6 | 2 | 4 |
| 4 | — | 3 | 8 | 5-6, 6 | 2 | 4 |
| 5 | Second die sharpens to Trained (5-6); Deep Listening (bank 1s and 2s as Mana) | — | 8 | 5-6, 5-6 | 2 | 4 |
| 6 | — | 4 | 12 | 5-6, 5-6 | 2 | 4 |
| 7 | Third personal die (choose a Source), enters Untrained (6), three-die cap | — | 12 | 5-6, 5-6, 6 | 2 | 5 |
| 8 | — | 5 | 17 | 5-6, 5-6, 6 | 2 | 5 |
| 9 | Third die sharpens to Trained (5-6); +1 Command Capacity (3); Mastery of the Craft (the two established personal dice widen to Skilled 4-6) | — | 17 | 4-6, 4-6, 5-6 | 3 | 6 |
| 10 | — | 6 | 23 | 4-6, 4-6, 5-6 | 3 | 6 |
A full arc to Level 10 grants 23 Advancement Points, the same as the scaffold classes. The Witch spends them across two competing draws: Bond in its apprentices (it is one of the signature-system classes that does have a Company to deepen) and the Specialty Menu, plus Guild, Skills, and gear. The Fourth Apprentice Specialty is the only way to push the Pool past 6, to 7.
Designer's Notes¶
Rationale and open testing questions. Safe for players to read, but written for the designer.
Design decisions
- The circle scales the working; more hands mean more Mana. An earlier draft insisted magic "does not scale by recruiting more hands," and that was wrong for how this class actually plays: every die in the Pool can bank Mana, so a bigger Company is a bigger engine. Command Capacity now grows (2 to 3, with an optional 4th by Specialty), and the flavor was rewritten to match. The Pool is still capped small, 6 or at most 7, so the Witch never rivals the Knight's or Skirmisher's Pool of 8.
- Both axes grow, to a deliberately small Pool. Personal dice climb to 3 and Command Capacity to 3, the ordinary progression on both, but ending below every Company class. The Witch is meant to be a touch stronger than baseline for a Character who invests fully, since it profits doubly from its own dice, once as hits and once as Mana, and that surplus is accepted rather than trimmed.
- Banking a 1 removes it from the Blitz check. This is the hinge of the class. A banked 1 leaves the Pool, so the Blitz reads only what remains, which is the one thing that makes a Blitz reachable for a class rolling weak Trained dice. It also gives the Witch a genuine, Errant-adjacent moment when she strips her Pool down to a die or two.
- Deep Listening inverts the old "each 1 worth 2" idea. Banking both 1s and 2s doubles Mana flow more smoothly than doubling the value of a single face, and it advances the "waste no die" identity a step, since a 2 stops being dead weight.
- Mastery widens personal dice only, and stops at Skilled. Widening the whole Pool would recreate the runaway Company-wide hit-range buff cut from the Chancellor. Widening only the Witch's own dice keeps the "every die used" endgame personal to her. Skilled is shipped; Elite, the true no-wasted-face break point, is held as a playtest-gated option because it also makes a late Witch a strong attacker.
- No traditional combo reads. Mana and casting are a complete substitute for Pair, Triple, Straight, and Set, the same choice made for the Squire's Assists and the Ranger's Focus.
Testing done and pending
No worked combat has yet exercised the Witch's current, finalized kit. Considerable conceptual and probability work went into the casting math and the cost structure, but the class was rebuilt substantially in this pass (growing Company, the banking-clears-the-Blitz rule, Deep Listening, Mastery, the Specialty menu), so none of the earlier reasoning about the old Mana rate carries over. The worked example above is the first walk through the new kit.
Specifically pending:
- Realistic Mana flow on the new economy. The old class generated about half a Mana a turn and cast once a fight; this one should ramp to roughly two a turn by the end, plus free Blitz-casts. Whether that lands as "active controller" or "casting too freely" is the single most important thing to watch, and the Command Capacity ceiling and Deep Listening are the dials.
- The hyper-efficient endgame. Whether a Mastery Witch with the whole Pool feeding Mana or hits reads as a satisfying near-break power fantasy or actually breaks, which decides whether the Elite step ever opens.
- Friendly fire and the +1 Mana exemption in a real multi-ally scene. Never tested where it costs the Witch's own side something.
Growth potential
- New spell tiers at the 4-plus difficulty band. Only two examples, suppressing combos and reshaping terrain, are defined so far. This band has the most room to grow as the class matures, and it is the natural home for the reality-bending workings a veteran Witch reaches for. The Coven Working Specialty (Specialty Menu) is the first defined way to reach the band, letting the circle commit together to cast one difficulty band above what raw Mana affords; the band's actual spell entries are the open growth space it opens onto.
- The Sorcerer as this class's legendary ceiling. Earlier design treated a reality-bending Sorcerer archetype as what a Witch becomes many sessions in, rather than a separate starting class. The Mastery and Overdraw path, the Witch pushing toward using every die at once, is the mechanical seed of that ending.
Changelog
- 2026-08-09: Unified the combat Hit Range and Check competence tiers into a single ladder (Untrained, Trained, Skilled, Elite, Renowned). Renamed Rabble to Untrained, Veteran to Skilled, Expert to Elite, and the combat Legendary tier to Renowned; the Legendary Difficulty rung is unchanged.
- 2026-08-09: Converted personal dice to the Source model (universal staggering). The second die (Level 3) and third die (Level 7) now enter Untrained and sharpen up the ladder; each is chosen as a Source. Mastery of the Craft now lifts the two established personal dice to Skilled, with the youngest (Level 7) die resting at Trained. Mana banking is untouched, since it reads 1s and 2s regardless of range. [DRAFT.]
- 2026-08-06: A Named Focus no longer adds a personal die; dice come only from the class ladder. Recast as a Mana boon (your natural 1s bank as 2 Mana each), provisional pending sign-off.
- 2026-08-04: Rebuilt to the class-page template: heading hierarchy, Specialty Menu moved into the player section and reformatted, designer notes collapsed.
- 2026-08-03: Revised for the current v0.3 draft.
