ECSW Update: 24-10-25
ECSW Rulebook v1.02
Restructured the entire Rulebook for better readability. There are no gameplay changes in this update, just wording clarifications and streamlining. Most of the repetitive parts of the Rulebook are removed.
Corrected "displacing model" to "attacking model" in the first paragraph of the Rare Scenarios section (p. 29).
Spells are categorised into "active" and "reaction" spells now for cleaner rule writing. There are no gameplay changes with this new categorisation. Active spells can only be cast once per round unless otherwise stated. The number of times a reaction spell can be cast per round is always stated in the spell description. This works the same as before.
